                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome ILLIS.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have I 
fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Ya gotta be quick on yer 
feet!  Keep your elbow off the table!  Thrust!  Block out the pain!  BOOK OF THOMAS 
is now ranked 3rd with a 2-1-0 turn.  Another fighter (D'ARTAGNAN 15-10-0) challenged 
another Duelmaster (SUBSTITUTION 14-8-0).  Life goes on.  D'ARTAGNAN was reminded on 
the sands why SUBSTITUTION is Duelmaster.  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects 
to practice on?  I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  The most avoided team was 
BOOK OF THOMAS.  The bums at ISLE OF SKYE couldn't face the challenges from BOOK OF 
THOMAS!  No excuse for that!  What do people see in STARFISH?  His 15-17-0?  
ISLANDERS ain't talkin', but he's got 62 points.  Maybe VOLANS' EPSILON VOLANTIS is 
one of those gals who likes pain, or something.  That's what she'll get next week, 
after challenging up 26 to STARFISH.  STARFISH must not been fighting well, cause he 
lost to EPSILON VOLANTIS of VOLANS.  Sometimes you just have a bad day where things 
get, um, mixed up.  SKARP-HEDIN of ISLE OF SKYE knows how to pick 'em.  He challenged 
NEW RIFF of TEABAG@CINCY 21.1 who is up by 21.  Now was this a wise move?  
SKARP-HEDIN perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he beat NEW RIFF and ended up 
with 82 recognition points.  I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of 
fights that BLIND BOY FULLER gets in.  He fights people like SUPPORT GROUP, 11 points 
below.  I thought BLIND BOY FULLER showed great skill and promise when he bested 
SUPPORT GROUP.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover 
stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
ILLIS is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  Remember--a 
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
