SPY REPORT
Much has changed in DAL SHANG since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Major screwup at CIRCLE
ELITE. GRIFFIN lost 9 points to SAGAT OF PAIDAN. Some new strategies, perhaps?
Maybe GRIFFIN will provide more easy wins... DAL SHANG has a Duelmaster who doesn't
sit back and get lazy. She challenged TOURNAMENT BLUES 65's SON SEALS (13-7-0),
which should prove (ahem!) interesting. Try as he might, SON SEALS wasn't good
enough at persuading SIGMUND 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.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
TOURNAMENT BLUES 65. The bums at CIRCLE ELITE couldn't face the challenges from
TOURNAMENT BLUES 65! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the
most challenged warrior, CRYSTAL! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to
haunt you. Keep challenging up 31 points, VANDAL SIX, and I won't have to write
about you much longer. CRYSTAL always accepts those kind of challenges... VANDAL
SIX found one way to advance: challenging CRYSTAL and losing, but getting 4 points.
No brain, no pain. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights
that BYOB DEN POE gets in. He fights people like GROUND COFFEE, 11 points below. I
thought BYOB DEN POE showed great skill and promise when he was defeated by GROUND
COFFEE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills,
fight dirty.
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? DAL
SHANG is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Remember--a
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
