                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to TROCAR once again!  Woof!  THE MUPPETS were a bunch of dogs 
after KIWI CONNECTION II got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!  What's 
with HUMP DAY?  She actually beat THE MUPPETS' SAM, and walked away with 21 more 
points from the fight.  Major screwup at USELESS TOOLS.  CLASS CLOWN lost 15 points 
to SAGE.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe CLASS CLOWN will provide more easy 
wins...  Apparently TROCAR isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I thought.  
The Dreaded Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn!  Another fighter (TRADER JOE 
17-7-0) challenged another Duelmaster (NGAWARI 14-4-2).  Life goes on.  Try as it 
might, TRADER JOE wasn't good enough at persuading NGAWARI to step down from the 
Duelmaster's throne...  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     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, THE MUPPETS!  In my 
day, no team with a 191-158-14 would scare me off!  What's the problem, USELESS 
TOOLS?   
     Warriors of TROCAR unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Sending a warrior 
to the Dark Arena reminds the others they'd better shape up.  Tough beans, GRAND 
CANYON.  That's what a 15-7-1 gets you.  Some people in TROCAR think 2233 BOURBON ST 
was too harsh when they sent GRAND CANYON (15-7-1) to the Dark Arena.  Them's the 
breaks, I say.  Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  To 
die so young, so gloriously!   
     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
