                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome FRATSFA.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Woof!  OTTO'S PARTS were a 
bunch of dogs after IRON CATHEDRAL got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!  
Ya gotta be quick on yer feet!  Keep your elbow off the table!  Thrust!  Block out 
the pain!  IRON CATHEDRAL is now ranked 1st with a 5-0-0 turn.  What's with TEMPEST?  
He actually beat MIDDLE WAY 8's VERN WULF, and walked away with 17 more points from 
the fight.  Laughs were big at ASSASSIN NATION while they watched TEMPEST clobber 
VERN WULF.  He lost 15 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  
Apparently FRATSFA isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I thought.  The 
Dreaded Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn!  OTTO'S PARTS' hatred of CYGNUS 
surfaced again as LACERATED TONGUE challenged FRATSFA's top dog.  I can barely 
restrain my enthusiam for OTTO'S PARTS' outstanding member, Duelmaster LACERATED 
TONGUE.  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  FRATSFA thinks IRON 
CATHEDRAL and their 247-220-22 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, give 
up...  In my day, no team with a 242-220-22 would scare me off!  What's the problem, 
OTTO'S PARTS?   
     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.   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  
FRATSFA is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  I don't 
want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Fratsfa -- Sorry, meant to publish Club Foot's particulars, but got sidetracked.  I'm 
100% certain that's why he was killed in the Dark Arena last turn.   Anyway, he was a 
17-3-12-17-8-16-11 Basher, received his ADM invite at 15-5 after holding the throne 4 
times here.   The commission says he is adept with the Medium Shield, favors a HI/LO 
rhythm, and learns Defense Actions.  Mode in everything, but +3 Initiative.  As a 
result, he is being retired. -- Crip, manager of Otto's Parts

Announcing the Lapurian Festival of the 900.  Over the past 34+ years many legendary

managers and have a team in Lapur, send your warriors in to fight for this one special 
turn and celebrate the arena's 900th.  Spread the word, let's make it something 
special!
