SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to SNOWBOUND once again! Biff! Pow! SNOWBOUND watched with glee
as SIGMA NU'S got knocked off top spot by BOOK OF THOMAS! Ya gotta be quick on yer
feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! 232 BOURBON ST
is now ranked 3rd with a 1-0-0 turn. BOOK OF THOMAS showed SNOWBOUND what they were
made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 4-0-0. What's with RANGER?
It actually beat SIGMA NU'S' MARK, and walked away with 19 more points from the
fight. Laughs were big at MIDDLE WAY 6 while they watched PERRY REESE clobber BIG
JIM. He lost 10 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. What a
role model for SNOWBOUND's young 'uns! AZAER becomes Duelmaster, but don't bother to
fight no more! I can barely restrain my enthusiam for BOOK OF THOMAS' outstanding
member, Duelmaster PREDATOR. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team
was FAR TRAVELERS. The bums at OPEN SESAME couldn't face the challenges from FAR
TRAVELERS! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, JACK DEATH! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt
you. BIG BIRD of OPEN SESAME knows how to pick 'em. He challenged JACK DEATH of
SIGMA NU'S who is up by 19. Now was this a wise move? BIG BIRD perhaps got his just
desserts, seeing as he was subdued by JACK DEATH and ended up with 47 recognition
points.
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!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here?
SNOWBOUND is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't
want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
