                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to BLACKSTONE once again!  You know what they say about the herd of 
lions who studied a judge...  DUDES 11 moved up 16 places, to 5th.  Who can explain 
it?  Not you, not me, not CONS I's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks 
from 23rd to 6th.  You know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a 
judge...  THINGS I HATE moved up 29 places, to 9th.  Who can explain it?  Not you, 
not me, not STREET WALKERS 7's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks from 
33rd to 11th.  You know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge...  
STREET WALKERS 10 moved up 22 places, to 12th.  Ever take one of those association 
tests?  You know, he says black, you say white.  Water-Lake, Sky-Blue. Try this:  
Flop.  DEAD WORLD!  Who can explain it?  Not you, not me, not NIRVANA's opponents, 
after watching them shoot up the ranks from 42nd to 14th.  You know what they say 
about the herd of lions who studied a judge...  THE SUPERHEROES moved up 31 places, 
to 20th.  Who can explain it?  Not you, not me, not 4-LETTER TOYS' opponents, after 
watching them shoot up the ranks from 52nd to 21st.  You know what they say about the 
herd of lions who studied a judge...  4-LETTER DODGERS moved up 32 places, to 22nd.  
Who can explain it?  Not you, not me, not HAPPY SPRING XXIII's opponents, after 
watching them shoot up the ranks from 37th to 24th.  You know what they say about the 
herd of lions who studied a judge...  SOUP FORCES 2 moved up 14 places, to 25th.  
UNGENTLE BENS bit the big one as they could not win.  They dropped from 12th down to 
26th!  Are you guy giving lessons or what?  Who can explain it?  Not you, not me, not 
FEAR FACTORY 16's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks from 44th to 
27th.  You know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge...  SAD 
SPRING XIII moved up 22 places, to 28th.  What's with JAGSTANG?  He actually beat SAD 
SPRING XIII's TURLTE TRILL, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight.  
Major screwup at SAD SPRING XIII.  TURLTE TRILL lost 15 points to JAGSTANG.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe TURLTE TRILL will provide more easy wins...  Har har har! 
Did UNION wimp out, or just get lazy?  Anyway, he's not Duelmaster anymore.  I can 
barely restrain my enthusiam for THINGS I HATE 2's outstanding member, Duelmaster 
EARLY MORNINGS.  I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your 
fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  The most avoided team 
was THE MOTHERSHIP CG.  The bums at SEMI-WORTHLESS couldn't face the challenges from 
THE MOTHERSHIP CG!  No excuse for that!  What do people see in VITRIFY?  Its 11-4-0?  
CONS I ain't talkin', but it's got 93 points.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Some people in BLACKSTONE think UNGENTLE BENS was 
too harsh when they sent BEN WHITECLIFFS (2-0-0) to the Dark Arena.  Them's the 
breaks, I say.  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.  
The end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  Remember--a 
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
