SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of SUNSET! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Woof! NOMADIC TRIBE were a bunch
of dogs after PHILTHBALLS got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st! Hmmmph!
I always thought BEN'S BAZAAR was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-5-0!
Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna
be... Well, THE WHOVIANS' 5th moved them up to 3-1-0 place. Some people say I
ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well
BIG LAKE TERROR moved up 0, to 3rd. What's with NARDOLE? He actually beat THE OOZE
ZONE's SAMMY SLICK, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight. Major
screwup at NOMADIC TRIBE. MOON SPLICER lost 13 points to LASZLO. Some new
strategies, perhaps? Maybe MOON SPLICER will provide more easy wins... SUNSET has a
Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. It challenged BIG LAKE TERROR's DARK
OPTION (22-20-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting. I can barely restrain my
enthusiam for BIG LAKE TERROR's outstanding member, Duelmaster DARK OPTION. I
suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?
Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team
was BIG LAKE TERROR. In my day, no team with a 664-625-43 would scare me off!
What's the problem, NOMADIC TRIBE? How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, MIGHTY MOUSE! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to
haunt you. Maybe RAT PAK's BANZAI-RAT is one of those guys who likes pain, or
something. That's what he'll get next week, after challenging up 27 to PHLEM. I
don't get it. BANZAI-RAT goes and challenges PHLEM, way above him, but gets 3 points
after he loses! Is this a new strategy? MIGHTY MOUSE didn't quite know what to make
of a challenge she received from MAN IN BLACK of BEN'S BAZAAR, who is 21 points below
her. MAN IN BLACK perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was bested by MIGHTY
MOUSE and ended up with 2 recognition points. I hate going to the effort of writing
about the kind of fights that DARK SPLIT gets in. She fights people like BLAK BOX,
14 points below. I thought DARK SPLIT showed great skill and promise when she
overcame BLAK BOX. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Warriors of SUNSET unite. You have only your games to lose! JAGARFESS looked
pretty sick and surprised when he learned THE WHOVIANS is sending him to the Dark
Arena! Whadd'he expect with a 14-18-1? Sending a warrior to the Dark Arena reminds
the others they'd better shape up. Tough beans, ZOMBIE BRIDE. That's what a 4-11-1
gets you. NEVERKNOT larned his lesson (DARK WISHES taught it well), and we right
likely won't be seein' 'im fight any BIG LAKE TERROR members with the same gusto.
CRETURE was plum wore out after FLASH pounded 'im silly in a Bloodfeud. BEN'S
BAZAAR'll have to get a little better before going after FLASH again! How long have
I been here? I got people to see, places to go...
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here?
SUNSET is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
