                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of ERINIKA!  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 DARQUE FARCES' opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks from 47th to 
14th.  You know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge...  LOST IN 
FABLE moved up 15 places, to 35th.  What's with ALEJANDRO?  He actually beat 
ERINIKA's DANGEROUS CRIMINAL, and walked away with 10 more points from the fight.  
Major screwup at TOP FIVE MARKS.  MAKER'S lost 7 points to PATTON.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe MAKER'S will provide more easy wins...  I'm sure ERINIKA 
is excited about ATLATL, the new Duelmaster from FAR TRAVELERS II.  (remember?)  But 
when you've seen as many as I have...  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to 
practice on?  I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  What 
do people see in ADOEL?  Its 21-20-0?  JUDGEMENT 1 ain't talkin', but it's got 99 
points.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Here's some advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, 
fight dirty.   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  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
