                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome ILLIS.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have I 
fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with RECOVERY SETBACK? 
He actually beat CHAPEL ROCK's STONE TEMPLE PILOT, and walked away with 12 more 
points from the fight.  Laughs were big at CHAPEL ROCK while they watched JAR OF CLAY 
clobber CARISMA.  She lost 13 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the 
stands.  I can barely restrain my enthusiam for YOUNG GUNS' outstanding member, 
Duelmaster BILLY THE KID.  I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip 
about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  How 
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of 
practive, BASHAHOLICS ANON!  In my day, no team with a 143-156-5 would scare me off!  
What's the problem, HANGOVERS?  What do people see in RECOVERY SETBACK?  His 12-3-0?  
BASHAHOLICS ANON ain't talkin', but he's got 115 points.  HUMAN PRETZEL didn't quite 
know what to make of a challenge he received from FALSE IDLE of CHAPEL ROCK, who is 
20 points below him.  FALSE IDLE perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was 
bested by HUMAN PRETZEL and ended up with 59 recognition points.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Who will dare fight CHURCH OF RISING SUN, after he 
returned from the Dark Arena?  (For the record 23-9-2 is 124, and has he points) 
Sending a warrior to the Dark Arena reminds the others they'd better shape up.  Tough 
beans, ALWAYS AN ADDICT.  That's what a 15-12-0 gets you.  AGAIN AND AGAIN looked 
pretty sick and surprised when he learned BASHAHOLICS ANON is sending him to the Dark 
Arena!  Whadd'he expect with a 7-5-1?  How long have I been here?  I got people to 
see, places to go...   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
