                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of NIYTYOLE HOLD!  Once again I've been called out of 
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Hmmmph!  I always 
thought WEIRD ALCHEMY was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 2-3-0!  Ya 
gotta be quick on yer feet!  Keep your elbow off the table!  Thrust!  Block out the 
pain!  WHITE WOLVES is now ranked 3rd with a 2-1-0 turn.  Some people say I ramble 
too much, I don't say anything relevant.  I repeat myself.  I ramble.  Well FAST FOOD 
moved up 2, to 2nd.  What's with FRUIT CUP?  He actually beat NIYTYOLE HOLD's 
VENOMOUS CONCUBINE, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight.  Laughs were 
big at 80'S DISCO while they watched THE SAFETY DANCE clobber BELISARIUS.  He lost 10 
points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  What a role model for 
NIYTYOLE HOLD's young 'uns!  GHOST PEPPER becomes Duelmaster, but don't bother to 
fight no more!  I'm sure NIYTYOLE HOLD is excited about DATABASE EDITOR, the new 
Duelmaster from BIG LAKE GROOVE.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I 
have...  I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow 
fighters?  Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  How well I know the 
feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, BIG IDEA!  In 
my day, no team with a 261-473-26 would scare me off!  What's the problem, WHITE 
WOLVES?  How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, MUNCHKIN!  
Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.  PLANET ROCK of 80'S DISCO 
knows how to pick 'em.  He challenged STYLE CHANGER of BIG LAKE GROOVE who is up by 
18.  Now was this a wise move?  PLANET ROCK perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as 
he was overcame by STYLE CHANGER and ended up with 37 recognition points.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Here's some advice:  study your opponent, master 
many skills, fight dirty.   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  The 
end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  Remember--a good 
fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
