SPY REPORT
Welcome BONSUR. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Ya gotta be quick on yer
feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! ODD SQUAD is now
ranked 5th with a 3-1-1 turn. What's with ECCENTRIC ECHO? He actually beat BONSUR's
EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, and walked away with 21 more points from the fight. Laughs were
big at CRAZY CO-WORKERS while they watched TOMMY clobber AMANDA. She lost 12 points
and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Try as she might, BETTY BABE
wasn't good enough at persuading DAWNBRINGER to step down from the Duelmaster's
throne... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some
team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, REAVERS! The bums at SENTINELS couldn't face the challenges from REAVERS!
No excuse for that! What do people see in DAWN SQUIRE? His 3-1-1? SENTINELS ain't
talkin', but he's got 29 points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? 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? The
end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Remember--a good
fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Lady -- Perhaps that was non-Mortal Kombat? Round 2 to me, it seems. Another shot at
the bloodfeud? I await. -- Dawn Squire
Don Que Jote -- A 4-0 down-challenges a 1-1? Impressive. Courageous even. That has
been noted. As has the fact that one little poke sent your brave little butt packing.
-- Cataclysm
Ned -- Random matchups can be a real pain sometimes. -- Caroom
Avalanche -- I was trying to figure out some clever post about the sun melting snow
and it just isn't working. So I guess I'll settle for the classic -- That had to
hurt! -- Sunguard
Ghost of Bandit Prince -- That was closer than I expected. -- Deathstrike
Duende -- Well done! I almost had you. -- Star
P.S. Your name is still my favorite episode of Highlander.
Tommy -- Glad I didn't kill another of your group. I think I found my favorite
weapon. -- Shine
Dawn Squire -- Well at least I got to swing back at least once. -- The Lady
Condemned Pirate -- You might want to hold on to your weapon in the future. -
Scalpiterai
Roll Up Gods -- Will you please post a manager list for this arena? -- Chase (Manager
of The Reavers)
Can each team please identify themselves? -- RUG #789
Sentinels -- Your words are much appreciated. Please continue. I'm hoping to use
this Bloodfeud opportunity to better train my warriors. I wish you good fortune in
the turns to come. -- Chase (Manager of The Reavers)
