SPY REPORT Welcome NIANIA. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with BIG BIRD? He actually beat THE GOLDEN FISH's HARKRANZ, and walked away with 23 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at THE FUNNY FARM while they watched BIG BIRD clobber HARKRANZ. He lost 18 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. See how the Duelmaster challenged SERPENTS HOLD's FANG? That sort of initiative is how he got where he is now. I'm sure NIANIA is excited about FANG, the new Duelmaster from SERPENTS HOLD. (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. No matter the time or place, men will always duel. NIANIA thinks SERPENTS HOLD and their 44-48-1 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... In my day, no team with a 43-45-1 would scare me off! What's the problem, THE FUNNY FARM? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, STUPID GNUS! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Warriors of NIANIA unite. You have only your games to lose! Someone told STANISLOE DRELL that THE RUNAROUND never Bloodfeuded, that he'd have an easy kill. Well, I'm sure whoever misled you is right sorry. Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty. Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. NIANIA 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FANG 5697 10 5 0 111 SERPENTS HOLD (664) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME I. M.

Will we see it, do you suppose? -- Jorja, idly skimming through the newsletter No challenges, no avoids? C'mon, the heat can't be THAT bad! Although now that I think about it, maybe it can.... Robot Chicken -- That was soup? I thought it was dirty dishwater. -- Kinthira Our congratulations to Edward O'Hare, even though we haven't seen him around here lately. -- Jorja and the Golden Fish P.S. Hmm, I see him in the tourney reports, 12-7 in the arena, 11-3 in the tourney. A salute for the TV, and it looks like it was the tourney FE that pushed him over the line. Well, good going. Plus, we salute all the other tourney participants, too. -- Jorja and the Golden Fish Charlie Horse -- I wouldn't've minded a win, but I *really* liked getting that rating. My guess is that the rating is what pushed me over. Thanks. -- Harkranz P.S. Details on request, although some of it is enough to make me weep. Small shield? Puh-LEEZE! Stupid Gnus -- Too stupid to know when you'd lost, I suppose. Drat. -- Kinthira Robot Chicken -- I'd really like you to go after Big Bird, or vice versa. Fight amongst yourselves. That would be funny out on the farm! -- Stanisloe Drell Tooth Pick -- I could help it, when I get nervous, I clench my teeth. And if you're in the way, you get bitten. -- Uethinria Oh, a Thief. Bah. -- Korbrizt Horon 13 July 11 Announcing! The No-Tourney ADM arena will be opening for business on the first of August of this year! It will be ADM Arena #107, making use of that idle installation down at Lirin Kiv. If the managers involved in this arena wish to rename it, suggestions will be entertained through the months of August and September.
