SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to DAL SHANG once again! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your
elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! SAND DANCERS is now ranked 4th
with a 1-0-0 turn. What's with MAX NILMERG? He actually beat TOURNAMENT BLUES 65's
BIG MOOSE WALKER, and walked away with 17 more points from the fight. Major screwup
at TOURNAMENT BLUES 65. SON SEALS lost 11 points to WINTER SOLSTICE. Some new
strategies, perhaps? Maybe SON SEALS will provide more easy wins... Try as she
might, CRYSTAL wasn't good enough at persuading HARRUMPH to step down from the
Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
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, TOURNAMENT BLUES 65! The bums at INTRUDERS 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, ULTRANEGATOR! Don't make idle boasts, they may come
back to haunt you. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights
that SIGMUND gets in. She fights people like ULTRANEGATOR, 13 points below. I
thought SIGMUND showed great skill and promise when she subdued ULTRANEGATOR. 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? We all knew it had to happen sooner or later. A warrior can't
stick around with a 13-10-1, and MAX NILMERG easily took care of BIG MOOSE WALKER.
The ultimate victory is one that results in death. MAX NILMERG of knows this. Will
TOURNAMENT BLUES 65 attempt a Bloodfeud? How long have I been here? I got people to
see, places to go...
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
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
