                                      SPY REPORT

     Much has changed in WILLAF since last I was here.  Never fear, Olaf Modeen 
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters.  Biff!  Pow!  WILLAF 
watched with glee as JLG got knocked off top spot by SAXON!  Up 'n down.  Up 'n down. 
Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna be...  Well, TRICKSTERS' 3rd 
moved them up to 3-1-0 place.  It seems so recently people were saying SAXON was 
washed up, finished.  But 4-1-1 moved them up 1.  I guess they're washed no more...  
What's with BROKEN HEROES?  She actually beat CADDYSHACK's JUDGE SMAILS, and walked 
away with 27 more points from the fight.  Major screwup at JLG.  CM2033 lost 22 
points to MIO MI.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe CM2033 will provide more easy 
wins...  I'm sure WILLAF is excited about LOU LOOMIS, the new Duelmaster from 
CADDYSHACK.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  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 CADDYSHACK.  In my day, no team with a 63-30-4 would scare me 
off!  What's the problem, TRICKSTERS?  What do people see in MIDAS TOUCH?  Hers 
20-12-3?  SAXON ain't talkin', but she's got 114 points.   
     Warriors of WILLAF unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Who will dare 
fight TASMANIAN WOLF, after he returned from the Dark Arena?  (For the record 2-3-1 
is 57, and has he points) We all knew it had to happen sooner or later.  A warrior 
can't stick around with a 5-7-0, and MIDAS TOUCH easily took care of PSY PHI.  MIDAS 
TOUCH had a sure-fire victory when she challenged PSY PHI, 84 points below her.  Was 
anyone really surprised when PSY PHI bit it?  Someone told 534C-6 that TRICKSTERS 
never Bloodfeuded, that it'd have an easy kill.  Well, I'm sure whoever misled you is 
right sorry.  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?  Are 
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm writing it 
before you read it.  Oh, well.  Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, 
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
