                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to TALCAMA once again!  Woof!  THE EMERALD ISLES were a bunch of 
dogs after MAD SCIENTISTS got through with 'em!  5th ain't so sweet as 1st!  Hmmmph!  
I always thought THE EMERALD ISLES was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 
0-1-0!  Ya gotta be quick on yer feet!  Keep your elbow off the table!  Thrust!  
Block out the pain!  MAD SCIENTISTS is now ranked 1st with a 5-0-0 turn.  What's with 
SWAMP DONKEY?  He actually beat COSMIC KARMA's COSMIC HAVEN, and walked away with 47 
more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at OF WOLF AND MAN 9 while they watched 
ALLURING clobber COSMIC AMBUSH.  He lost 14 points and got bruised from objects 
thrown from the stands.  I can barely restrain my enthusiam for OF WOLF AND MAN II's 
outstanding member, Duelmaster CRISIS.  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, CONSORTIUM CREW!  
Management must be dealin', as the boys at THE EMERALD ISLES ain't reelin'!  
CONSORTIUM CREW's mad!  How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged 
warrior, INVERNESS!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.   
     Warriors of TALCAMA unite.  You have only your games to lose!  TEAL'C was plum 
wore out after PARMESEAN CHEESE pounded 'im silly in a Bloodfeud.  OF WOLF AND MAN 
II'll have to get a little better before going after PARMESEAN CHEESE again!  Here's 
some advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
The end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  Remember--a 
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
