SPY REPORT
Welcome KALTOS. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with CROAKER? He
actually beat KALTOS' PERSISTENT BEGGAR, and walked away with 15 more points from the
fight. Laughs were big at KALTOS while they watched KUNG-FU MASTER clobber DERBIE
FOYLE. He lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. What
a role model for KALTOS' young 'uns! BEATLE BAILEY becomes Duelmaster, but don't
bother to fight no more! I'm sure KALTOS is excited about FOLIE HANNA, the new
Duelmaster from THE MIDDLE WAY 5. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I
have... I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow
fighters? Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being the most challenged warrior, FRIED TWINKIE! Don't make idle boasts,
they may come back to haunt you. Keep challenging up 26 points, FRIED TWINKIE, and I
won't have to write about you much longer. HOFFA always accepts those kind of
challenges... FRIED TWINKIE won victory over HOFFA (FRIED TWINKIE getting 17 points,
too!)--Ooh baby! Now dat I likes!
Warriors of KALTOS unite. You have only your games to lose! 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.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...--
Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Bull Durham -- Drat, I thought you only partied with cows. And I have no interest in
cows, honest. -- Faron Harn
Beatle Bailey -- Your skill at standing still and letting me do all the work is
remarkable. But the kind of remarks I want to make on it would probably not get past
the censor, so... "Good fight, such as it was." -- Derbie Foyle
Sux0r -- It is just a totally nagging question: is that fourth character in your name
SUPPOSED to be a zero, or was it an accident? -- Follie Hanna
The Ambitious Guard needs to work on his technique a little more. That old "Haven't
I met you before?" line is just that: old. -- Beliss Don
I don't think Dangerous Criminals should be let run around loose. -- Jad Ladrue
Stik -- As you know, Ochre's death was an accident, and we regret it. -- Nick

WE'RE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD MANAGERS! If you think you have what it takes to match
wits and blades with some of the best managers in Alastari, then WE WANT YOU! The
Tournament Of The Golden Scrod #4 will begin in Aradi (DM 60) the turn after the Fall
Mail-In. It's not too late for you to sign up. I realize that many of you may be
hesitant after seeing that myself and Hombre have teamed up again, but we'll try to
take it easy on you guys a little bit. For more information on T#%S IV, please
contact me at ganolus@aol.com. We're looking for a few good managers...the few, the
proud, the TOGS!

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
