                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of CLIFFHOME!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Woof!  THE WATCHMEN were a bunch of 
dogs after FAR TRAVELERS got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!  See how 
the Duelmaster Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's SPYMASTER?  That sort of initiative 
is how she got where she is now.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as SPYMASTER 
killed the Duelmaster, SISTER NIGHT, leaving THE WATCHMEN in mourning.  So now 
FRANCOLO SUR gets to be CLIFFHOME's Duelmaster.  But what comes around goes around.  
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.  CLIFFHOME thinks U.A.K. and 
their 599-479-34 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, give up...  The bums at 
FAR TRAVELERS couldn't face the challenges from U.A.K.!  No excuse for that!  How 
well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, ALYX!  Don't make idle 
boasts, they may come back to haunt you.  ALYX didn't quite know what to make of a 
challenge he received from CAPTAIN METROPOLIS of THE WATCHMEN, who is 18 points below 
him.  CAPTAIN METROPOLIS perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he beat ALYX and 
ended up with 40 recognition points.  I hate going to the effort of writing about the 
kind of fights that HOODED JUSTICE gets in.  He fights people like DESTINY, 8 points 
below.  I thought HOODED JUSTICE showed great skill and promise when he beat DESTINY. 
All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  FOXY BROWN of U.A.K. didn't know when to quit.  
When you've got a 13-19-0, that's a good sign.  Now she's dead.  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.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
