SPY REPORT
Much has changed in NIANIA since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Up 'n down. Up 'n down.
Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, HARLEQUINS' 2nd
moved them up to 4-0-0 place. What's with COMEDY? He actually beat NIANIA's
AMBITIOUS GUARD, and walked away with 12 more points from the fight. Major screwup
at THE GOLDEN FISH. ABALONEA lost 6 points to JARCK. Some new strategies, perhaps?
Maybe ABALONEA will provide more easy wins... I'm sure NIANIA is excited about
MORADOR, the new Duelmaster from RESURRECTION. (remember?) But when you've seen as
many as I have... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear
some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... NIANIA thinks
RESURRECTION and their 162-164-16 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give
up... The bums at FAMOUS HURLERS couldn't face the challenges from RESURRECTION! No
excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior,
ABALONEA! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Taunt your
opponent ONE BROW! That was my lucky charm when I was unfairly challenged. (and by
18 points!) TOLDERST should have an easy win. TOLDERST subdued ONE BROW. I bet
TOLDERST could beat two-year-olds, too. Well, GLORY BOUND TROLLS knows who to set
their sights on. SMOLT of RESURRECTION knows how to pick 'em. He challenged ANALIRA
of THE GOLDEN FISH who is up by 21. Now was this a wise move? SMOLT perhaps got his
just desserts, seeing as he lost to ANALIRA and ended up with 22 recognition points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? 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? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Jarck -- Gosh, you really like to jarck me around, don't you? Good thing I'm a
masochist, or I'd refuse to teach you any skills. -- Yellow Pike
Tolderst -- I could stand not to fight your style. Of course, I could stand to work
on my strategies so I could WIN against your style, too. Decisions, decisions.... I
think I'll decide to be lazy and spend the day in bed. This was exhausting. --
Nellistha
Half-Time -- Wow! I wonder how much you'd learn if you spent your WHOLE time at it?
-- Abalonea
P.S. I really, really value that win. My thanks.
Comedy -- Hmm, with skills like those, I guess you could say that loss of yours was
no tragedy. -- Analira
Prowess -- I guess I just tied you in knots today, didn't I? Shall we try it again?
-- Lubaya
Wally the Wacko -- No diplo so far. Somebody should whack them around in the
mailroom. -- Nick
P.S. No, cancel that, the diplo DID arrive, but it was stuck in between two other
turns in the envelope. I'll try to get a diplo to you with this turn, otherwise,
well, I'm not a reliable letter writer, but I'll try.

An Announcement Concerning the Brotherhood of the Blade Alliance:
I have chosen to withdraw my membership from the Brotherhood of the Blade
alliance. The years I have spent in the alliance have been the best of my DM career.
I leave the alliance with many great friends and will always remain close to my
former brethren.
The Brotherhood of the Blade will not skip a beat without my membership. It
remains in very capable hands and its roster is among the strongest in the game.
With the return on some of its founding members to DM, I know the BOB will continue
to grow in strength and prestige in the years to come. -- The Sandman
29 September 2003
