                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to DRAGONHEAD once again!  Phhbltt!  Too much drinking and too 
little dodging gave CANADIAN ARTISTS a 0-2-0!  I got a good laugh out of it!  Ya 
gotta be quick on yer feet!  Keep your elbow off the table!  Thrust!  Block out the 
pain!  ABC is now ranked 10th with a 1-0-0 turn.  BASH BROS STAR TREK showed 
DRAGONHEAD what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 
3-0-0.  What's with PUNKA?  He actually beat BASH BROS CLOTHES II's FADED, and walked 
away with 107 more points from the fight.  Major screwup at BASH BROS CLOTHES II.  
FADED lost 36 points to PUNKA.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe FADED will 
provide more easy wins...  Apparently DRAGONHEAD isn't filled with as many gutless 
wonders as I thought.  The Dreaded Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn!  BASH BROS 
CLOTHES II's hatred of ON TAP 2 surfaced again as OUT OF STYLE challenged 
DRAGONHEAD's top dog.  OUT OF STYLE was reminded on the sands why ELECTRIC WIT is 
Duelmaster.  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  How well I know the feeling 
of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, FREELANCERS!  The 
bums at BASH BROS STAR TREK couldn't face the challenges from FREELANCERS!  No excuse 
for that!  I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that 
APHRODITE VON BOO gets in.  She fights people like WRINKLED, 13 points below.  I 
thought APHRODITE VON BOO showed great skill and promise when she subdued WRINKLED.  
All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Warriors of DRAGONHEAD unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Many a warrior 
has met his fate in a hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  All 
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
