                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome SUNSET.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Biff!  Pow!  SUNSET watched 
with glee as THE OOZE ZONE got knocked off top spot by NOMADIC TRIBE!  Hmmmph!  I 
always thought THE WHOVIANS was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-0-0!  
Ya gotta be quick on yer feet!  Keep your elbow off the table!  Thrust!  Block out 
the pain!  THE ALLIANCE is now ranked 6th with a 4-1-0 turn.  Some people say I 
ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant.  I repeat myself.  I ramble.  Well 
NOMADIC TRIBE moved up 2, to 1st.  GREEN COVEY's walking tall now that they went 
3-1-0 their first time out.  But we know what awaits them soon...  What's with GREEN? 
He actually beat NOMADIC TRIBE's MOON SPLICER, and walked away with 16 more points 
from the fight.  Major screwup at NOMADIC TRIBE.  MOON SPLICER lost 13 points to 
GREEN.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe MOON SPLICER will provide more easy 
wins...  Apparently SUNSET isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I thought.  
The Dreaded Duelmaster got 3 challenges this turn!  Another fighter (UNCHAINABLE 
24-18-0) challenged another Duelmaster (BUCK FIDEN 11-0-0).  Life goes on.  Try as he 
might, UNCHAINABLE wasn't good enough at persuading BUCK FIDEN to step down from the 
Duelmaster's throne...  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  The 
most avoided team was BIG LAKE TERROR.  The bums at BEN'S BAZAAR couldn't face the 
challenges from BIG LAKE TERROR!  No excuse for that!  LEFTY MCGRIM of GRIM FANDANGO 
knows how to pick 'em.  He challenged PHLEM of THE OOZE ZONE who is up by 21.  Now 
was this a wise move?  LEFTY MCGRIM perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was 
subdued by PHLEM and ended up with 80 recognition points.  I hate going to the effort 
of writing about the kind of fights that BLAK BOX gets in.  He fights people like 
DARK WISHES, 9 points below.  I thought BLAK BOX showed great skill and promise when 
he subdued DARK WISHES.  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?  How long have I been here?  I got people to see, places to 
go...   
     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.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Calli Mari -- Whoever told me to make that challenge should be fired!  But you are a 
fine teacher. -- Bushwhack

Phlem -- There are oh, so many reasons I did not want that fight.  The new holes poked 
in my hide are part of that!  Congrats on that grad notice, and you are welcome.  I 
expect a pint at the Broken Bone for my efforts to get you immortality. -- Moon

Nomad and Tribe -- Thank you sir, for the hardy welcome to Sunset; however, I did 
actually get a fine welcome from Stik and Grim Fandango.  Both of them are nuch 
appreciated by this small fry, taking a plunge in a very big and bloody pond. -- Bobby
