                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to LIN TIRIAN once again!  Bein' on top is great while it lasts, 
SAND DANCERS.  But how many friends do you have now?  It seems so recently people 
were saying FURY'S EDGE was washed up, finished.  But 4-1-0 moved them up 1.  I guess 
they're washed no more...  What's with ISAWA TADAKA?  He actually beat FURY'S EDGE's 
BLADES, and walked away with 17 more points from the fight.  Major screwup at FURY'S 
EDGE.  BLADES lost 13 points to ISAWA TADAKA.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe 
BLADES will provide more easy wins...  AVRIL HOUND was reminded on the sands why L H 
OSWALD is Duelmaster.  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     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, SAND DANCERS! 
Management must be dealin', as the boys at FAMOUS ARCHERS ain't reelin'!  SAND 
DANCERS' mad!  What do people see in HAWKEYE?  His 7-4-0?  FAMOUS ARCHERS ain't 
talkin', but he's got 33 points.   
     Warriors of LIN TIRIAN unite.  You have only your games to lose!  How long have 
I been here?  I got people to see, places to go...   
     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.  Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, 
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Mr. Oswald, you did something right. Salute. -- Arrowhead

Shibu, well, shucks. I guess I was just too good for you. -- Hawkeye

Eustace, was that any way to treat me after i took the time to challenge you? Gee! -- 
Princess Merida

Pops, now that was interesting. Better you getting your first loss than me. -- Apollo

Health. Humility. Honor. Thwack! -- Arrowhead

Sirhan -- You truly have the Fury's Edge. -- Isawa Tadaka

Hawkeye -- It seems as if fate has destined you to battle our clan. -- L5R Phoenix 
Clan

Justine -- Again we dance upon the sands. -- L5R Phoenix Clan

Famous Archers -- I thank you for your congratulations.  Jorja didn't notice. -- 
Tinker Samuel
P.S.  I give her a pass on the not-noticing because she was sick.

Princess Merida -- I was surprised to see you engaging in archery, then I remembered 
that ladies engaged in archery as "developing the feminine contours while keeping the 
ankles decently covered."  Does it work? Your contours are distinctly feminine. -- 
Eustace

L H Oswald -- Good show!  I didn't want to be duelmaster. -- Avril Hound

Blades -- Do you have a furious edge? -- Timmy Tango

Tainted Shugenja -- Wash off that taint!  It's offensive. -- Justine

Warriors and Managers of Lin Tirian -- Jorja here.  I *like* writing fiction for the 
newsletters, and I'm *going* to do it, whether you want to participate or not.  In the 
absence of any clues beyond the warrior and team names, I'm going to establish 
characters for the warriors we face and write about them.  Feel free to make comment.  
If you don't want your warriors involved, a statement to that effect in the newsletter 
will stop me.  If you want input but not to write a personal, send me a diplo, or ask 
CSR for my email address.  Your involvement would be welcome. -- Jorja
