                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome NIANIA.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Bein' on top is great while 
it lasts, RESURRECTION.  But how many friends do you have now?  What's with GONGAN?  
He actually beat AB-NORMALS' ICA BRIGHTLITE, and walked away with 22 more points from 
the fight.  Laughs were big at STEEL ARMS while they watched LAW clobber CHYLEYA.  
She lost 9 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  Try as she 
might, KALISTA wasn't good enough at persuading ASKELON to step down from the 
Duelmaster's throne...  I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about 
your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  The 
most avoided team was RESURRECTION.  Management must be dealin', as the boys at 
HARLEQUINS ain't reelin'!  RESURRECTION's mad!  How well I know the feeling of being 
the most challenged warrior, NILOETH!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to 
haunt you.  RHYR expects the easy win by going 20 points down.  HITMAN will find this 
a hard lesson!  I have to get this off my chest.  What a low dog, RHYR!  He can't set 
himself up in a real match.  I was sorry to see HITMAN lose.  I hate going to the 
effort of writing about the kind of fights that GOSOSOSOS gets in.  He fights people 
like MOONWALK, 9 points below.  I thought GOSOSOSOS showed great skill and promise 
when he defeated MOONWALK.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Some people are wondering why HARLEQUINS sent KODON (7-2-0) to 
the Dark Arena.  Just be glad you're not on their team.  =^.^= V2 of AB-NORMALS 
didn't know when to quit.  When you've got a 7-10-0, that's a good sign.  Now she's 
dead.  TALGEN was plum wore out after PIE IN YOUR EYE pounded 'im silly in a 
Bloodfeud.  HARLEQUINS'll have to get a little better before going after PIE IN YOUR 
EYE again!  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.  The end 
of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  I don't want to 
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
