                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome JADE MOUNTAIN.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the 
fights have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with 
FAITH?  It actually beat JADE MOUNTAIN's STONEFACE MIKARN, and walked away with 17 
more points from the fight.  Major screwup at THAT WAS LIMITED.  TREMORS BACKLASH 
lost 18 points to JADE MASTER.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe TREMORS BACKLASH 
will provide more easy wins...  What a role model for JADE MOUNTAIN's young 'uns!  
PHANTASM becomes Duelmaster, but don't bother to fight no more!  I can barely 
restrain my enthusiam for ZOMBIE SQUAD 112720's outstanding member, Duelmaster 
KORIMAKO.  I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow 
fighters?  Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  How well I know the 
feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, ZOMBIE SQUAD 
112720!  In my day, no team with a 31-25-0 would scare me off!  What's the problem, 
THAT WAS LIMITED?   
     Warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Many a 
warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  All work 
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, 
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
