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 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

PERSONAL ADS
Buri -- Wow, some days we drop fast, but it's a surprise to see the Funny Farm
dropping faster. 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
