                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of FRATSFA!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  IRON CATHEDRAL showed FRATSFA what 
they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 4-1-1.  What's 
with SISTER STEEL?  She actually beat INCARNATIONS' OSIRIS, and walked away with 16 
more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at CYGNUS while they watched DELTA CYGNI 
clobber ZIPACNA.  It lost 8 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the 
stands.  Try as he might, STRAHD wasn't good enough at persuading TEMPER to step down 
from the Duelmaster's throne...  I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty 
gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.   
     Warriors of FRATSFA unite.  You have only your games to lose!  I like to see 
warriors put young whippersnappers in their place.  I guess you could say IRON 
CATHEDRAL'SISTER STEEL did just that.  Right INCARNATIONS?  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.  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
