                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of ILLIS!  Once again I've been called out of retirement for 
my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Woof!  HANGOVERS were a bunch of dogs 
after IMPROVED ILLUSION got through with 'em!  4th ain't so sweet as 1st!  Up 'n 
down.  Up 'n down.  Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna be...  
Well, IMPROVED ILLUSION's 1st moved them up to 3-2-0 place.  What's with TOM BLIGH?  
He actually beat IMPROVED ILLUSION's JUBEI, and walked away with 11 more points from 
the fight.  Laughs were big at ISLANDERS while they watched TOM BLIGH clobber JUBEI.  
He lost 5 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  Another 
fighter (HELLPOP 19-39-0) challenged another Duelmaster (RAIGEKI 11-3-1).  Life goes 
on.  Try as he might, HELLPOP wasn't good enough at persuading RAIGEKI to step down 
from the Duelmaster's throne...  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, HANGOVERS!  
Management must be dealin', as the boys at IMPROVED ILLUSION ain't reelin'!  
HANGOVERS' mad!  LOTHAR DYFONATE of NEXUS 5 knows how to pick 'em.  He challenged 
STARFISH of ISLANDERS who is up by 24.  Now was this a wise move?  LOTHAR DYFONATE 
perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he won victory over STARFISH and ended up 
with 31 recognition points.   
     Warriors of ILLIS unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Is it my 
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  To die so young, so 
gloriously!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  
ILLIS 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
