                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to JHELUM once again!  Biff!  Pow!  JHELUM watched with glee as 
TRIBAL COUNCIL got knocked off top spot by THE KILLING HIVE!  Phhbltt!  Too much 
drinking and too little dodging gave UTOPIA RELIGIOSO a 0-0-0!  I got a good laugh 
out of it!  Up 'n down.  Up 'n down.  Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think 
I'm gonna be...  Well, THE REPLACEMENTS' 5th moved them up to 2-0-0 place.  What's 
with RAEL?  He actually beat TANKS FOR NOTHIN''s VALENTINE, and walked away with 29 
more points from the fight.  Major screwup at TANKS FOR NOTHIN'.  TRAINING TANK lost 
8 points to STONE RONIN.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe TRAINING TANK will 
provide more easy wins...  I can barely restrain my enthusiam for THE REPLACEMENTS' 
outstanding member, Duelmaster SUM YUM GAI.  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.  How 
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of 
practive, THE KILLING HIVE!  Management must be dealin', as the boys at TANKS FOR 
NOTHIN' ain't reelin'!  THE KILLING HIVE's mad!  How well I know the feeling of being 
the most challenged warrior, STONE RONIN!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back 
to haunt you.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover 
stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
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.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...--
