                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome ERINIKA.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  You know what they say 
about the herd of lions who studied a judge...  WISCONSIN BREW 3 moved up 13 places, 
to 6th.  Who can explain it?  Not you, not me, not ON TAP 2's opponents, after 
watching them shoot up the ranks from 21st to 7th.  You know what they say about the 
herd of lions who studied a judge...  ON TAP 10 moved up 22 places, to 8th.  Who can 
explain it?  Not you, not me, not TOP FIVE MARKS' opponents, after watching them 
shoot up the ranks from 38th to 11th.  SWORD HEROES 2 bit the big one as they could 
not win.  They dropped from 10th down to 27th!  Are you guy giving lessons or what?  
Ever take one of those association tests?  You know, he says black, you say white.  
Water-Lake, Sky-Blue. Try this:  Flop.  SWORD HEROES 6!  What's with THE BLACK DEATH? 
He actually beat SWORD HEROES 2's SHEMP, and walked away with 17 more points from the 
fight.  Major screwup at SWORD HEROES 2.  SHEMP lost 12 points to THE BLACK DEATH.  
Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe SHEMP will provide more easy wins...  Har har 
har!  Did SWANSEE wimp out, or just get lazy?  Anyway, she's not Duelmaster anymore.  
I'm sure ERINIKA is excited about GLITTER BOMB, the new Duelmaster from TEABAG@NOLA 
23.3.  (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!   
     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, ON TAP 10!  In my 
day, no team with a 2-4-0 would scare me off!  What's the problem, DARQUE WATERS?  
How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, SPORK!  Don't make 
idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.   
     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...   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  
ERINIKA is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  I don't 
want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
