                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome FRATSFA.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Phhbltt!  Too much drinking 
and too little dodging gave THE BLOODLUST a 0-0-0!  I got a good laugh out of it!  Ya 
gotta be quick on yer feet!  Keep your elbow off the table!  Thrust!  Block out the 
pain!  CYGNUS is now ranked 4th with a 2-0-0 turn.  What's with STRAHD?  He actually 
beat IRON CATHEDRAL's TEMPER, and walked away with 27 more points from the fight.  
Major screwup at MIDDLE WAY 8.  ELLIS TATE lost 10 points to XEENA.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe ELLIS TATE will provide more easy wins...  Try as she 
might, BLADED ZEALOT wasn't good enough at persuading BLEYS to step down from the 
Duelmaster's throne...  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Here's some advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, 
fight dirty.   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  FRATSFA 
is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  Time for my 
medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Ah, we miss the Flower Girls!  A lot of flowers have bloomed and faded since we were 
active here last.  Still, bound to be some good people here now, too. -- Those Who 
Walk the Middle Way

Temper -- Tish.  Unbecoming in a woman. -- Ellis Tate

Ellis -- Unbecoming in a man, too. -- Jorja

Ba'al -- Somehow, I thought you'd be taller and probably broader. -- Tonio Salagaza

Trustworthy Scribe, eh?  I'm not sure how he got that designation, but it seems 
dubious.  Still, he lost, that makes up for a lot. -- Tennessee Smith

Delta Cygni -- Seems like the arena gossip is on target.  They say you constellation 
guys are stars. -- a depressed Xavier Yang

I'll put up with the Constable's dubious "friendliness" for the win and four skills. 
-- Vern Wulf
