The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with FORBIDDEN FRUIT? She actually beat THE GOLDEN FISH's RED LIZARD, and walked away with 15 more points from the fight. Major screwup at GNU TEAM. GNU I KNEW lost 3 points to BIG BIRD. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe GNU I KNEW will provide more easy wins... Apparently NIANIA isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I thought. The Dreaded Duelmaster got 4 challenges this turn! THE FUNNY FARM's hatred of SERPENTS HOLD surfaced again as I. M. WEASEL challenged NIANIA's top dog. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for THE FUNNY FARM's outstanding member, Duelmaster I. M. WEASEL. 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. NIANIA thinks THE GOLDEN FISH and their 851-893-24 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... The bums at THE FUNNY FARM couldn't face the challenges from THE GOLDEN FISH! No excuse for that! A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. So THE RUNAROUND sent PILSEN to the Dark Arena. Big deal. Plenty more fighters where PILSEN came from. Dime a dozen... Now, Spyreporters... And this week the Duelmaster--whoops! GNU TEAM has one week left to avenge GNU BOOK's death by excessive hits on the part of BIG BIRD of THE FUNNY FARM. Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty. 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! I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME I. M.

Surely this can't last? C'mon, we can't let these snakes and run- arounders get ahead at our expense! -- Jorja, the Golden Fish Big Bird -- Because I am a strong and noble warrior, and graduating, besides, I will rise above the silly remarks made by Olaf Modeen. I will raise a mug to your serious point gain. -- Harkranz You ever wonder about this "live subjects to practice on" thing? What are WE, after all? -- the gladiators at the Golden Fish, live and suffering from the practice of others Golden Fish -- Some days you're livelier than others. -- Jorja Jorja -- Well, of course! Who isn't? -- Harkranz, speaking for the Golden Fish I resent and refute that "someone told me I'd have an easy kill." I did not seek a kill, easy or difficult, dammit. Jorja would have my head on a pike if I sought a kill. I will sue for slander, or defamation of character, or something. -- Stanisloe Drell Ah, Sheldon was "narrowly killed" in the Dark Arena, and he was the most popular gladiator this turn? Must've been a lot of hostility against the Stone Golem, or maybe it was appreciation of his (Sheldon's) strong fight to survive? Too bad he didn't make it. -- Harkranz, taking on the job of commentor Tooth Pick -- Fair enough. -- Stanisloe Drell Big Bird -- You certainly gave me the bird, and... it doesn't matter to me, now, so why not, eh? Good luck to you. -- Harkranz Robot Chicken -- Huh, I got carried away with the idea of chicken salad, and you really aren't suited to that, are you? Maybe I should have a ham sandwich, instead. -- Uethinria P.S. With guacamole. Gnu Recruit -- Just looking at you, I think you're one for the lions. You don't seem likely to improve the breed of gnus. -- Kinthira What I always find myself wondering is, why does anybody go out of their way to capture an orc? -- Korbirzt Horon LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS PILSEN was butchered by WURM KIN in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight. SEE YA was butchered by ARENAMISTRESS VORA in a 1 minute Dark Arena duel. BYE was savagely slain by STONE GOLEM in a 2 minute brutal Dark Arena melee. I. M. WEASEL overpowered FANG in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge Title duel. BIG BIRD overpowered GNU I KNEW in a 1 minute one-sided fight. STUPID GNUS bested TOOTH PICK in a 4 minute brawl. ROBOT CHICKEN won victory over DANGEROUS CRIMINAL in a 3 minute fight. MAUL ON WHEELS bested KINTHIRA in a 3 minute match. UETHINRIA bested GNU RECRUIT in a popular 5 minute competition. STANISLOE DRELL handily defeated PERSISTENT BEGGAR in a 1 minute uneven melee. KORBRIZT HORON vanquished PERSISTENT BEGGAR in a 1 minute one-sided duel. FORBIDDEN FRUIT won victory over RED LIZARD in a 2 minute duel. POLISH CAVALRY defeated MORDANT DESERTER in a tiresome 5 minute fight.
