                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of BLACKSTONE!  Once again I've been called out of 
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Who can explain it?  Not 
you, not me, not ROOKIE CRUE 3's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks 
from 23rd to 12th.  Looking for a good fight, confident, skilled, tough opponents.  
Well don't look at 011312R, cause they dropped by 11.  Ever take one of those 
association tests?  You know, he says black, you say white.  Water-Lake, Sky-Blue. 
Try this:  Flop.  060310AV!  MEDAL OF HONOR T11 bit the big one as they could not 
win.  They dropped from 14th down to 25th!  Are you guy giving lessons or what?  
What's with BLIND PIKE?  He actually beat 060310AV's BAKLAVA AUTOPSY, and walked away 
with 66 more points from the fight.  Major screwup at MEDAL OF HONOR T11.  SSG 20 
lost 10 points to RIMGARR.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe SSG 20 will provide 
more easy wins...  See how the Duelmaster challenged 115TH DREAM's NOT SHORT?  That 
sort of initiative is how she got where she is now.  I can barely restrain my 
enthusiam for 115TH DREAM's outstanding member, Duelmaster NOT SHORT.  Wouldn't it be 
nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some team is looking into the uses 
of convicted prisoners.   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  The most avoided team 
was MEDAL OF HONOR AAC.  Management must be dealin', as the boys at 011312R ain't 
reelin'!  MEDAL OF HONOR AAC's mad!  What do people see in NOT SHORT?  His 20-7-0?  
115TH DREAM ain't talkin', but he's got 104 points.  Keep challenging up 28 points, 
CUBIT STIRRER, and I won't have to write about you much longer.  SERGEANT 5 always 
accepts those kind of challenges...  CUBIT STIRRER subdued SERGEANT 5 (CUBIT STIRRER 
getting 10 points, too!)--Ooh baby!  Now dat I likes!  BEAR didn't quite know what to 
make of a challenge he received from DOVER of UNGENTLE BENS, who is 20 points below 
him.  DOVER perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was overcame by BEAR and 
ended up with 80 recognition points.   
     Warriors of BLACKSTONE 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!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  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
