                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome IAYE.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have I 
fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with NEAL?  He 
actually beat HARD KNOCKS' SELLSWORD, and walked away with 16 more points from the 
fight.  Laughs were big at CLOWDER W/ CLAWS while they watched BACKSTABBATH clobber 
AUNT SADIE.  She lost 8 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  
Try as she might, TENDER FURY wasn't good enough at persuading =^.^= to step down 
from the Duelmaster's throne...  I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty 
gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  How well I know the feeling 
of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, THE YOUNG ONES!  In 
my day, no team with a 81-61-6 would scare me off!  What's the problem, LENPROS?  
What do people see in WARLOCK?  His 5-4-1?  THE YOUNG ONES ain't talkin', but he's 
got 28 points.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  We all knew it had to happen sooner or later.  A warrior can't 
stick around with a 8-9-0, and BAZ easily took care of HISS-SPIT-HIDE.  Here's some 
advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     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
