SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to BONSUR once again! What's with BEACH BETTY? She actually beat
BONSUR's THE USEROUS MERCHANT, and walked away with 15 more points from the fight.
Major screwup at IMPORTED FOOTBALLERS. SOLSKJAER lost 8 points to LAGUNA LIL. Some
new strategies, perhaps? Maybe SOLSKJAER will provide more easy wins... What a role
model for BONSUR's young 'uns! WOOD CHUCK becomes Duelmaster, but don't bother to
fight no more! I'm sure BONSUR is excited about UMBRELLA MAN, the new Duelmaster
from BEACH BABES. (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. The most avoided team was
WASTELAND II. The bums at IMPORTED FOOTBALLERS couldn't face the challenges from
WASTELAND II! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, UMBRELLA MAN! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to
haunt you.
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!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
BONSUR is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Remember--a
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Sandy Shore -- Wow, that shot came out of left field. I thought I had you then wham!
Nice one. I just wish I could have learned something. -- Marlith
Dikembe Mutumbo -- I was going to ask if you get as tired of seeing me as I do of
seeing you, and then I realized, no, of course not. HE is winning. That keeps the
interest fresh. -- Laguna Lil
Cat-in-the-Hat -- (flailing around with an umbrella) I'll get you yet! -- Umbrella
Man
Total Disaster 1.0 -- Surely you've earned an increase in your number by now! --
Beach Betty, who has just experienced disaster number 6.0 or something around there
Bomba Yearn -- You must be bi-polar. You hit me on both sides. Ouch. -- Salton
Seahorse
Marlith -- Gods, I'm glad I won that! It would have been really dumb to lose to
someone with such relatively little experience. -- Sandy Shore

A few notes about e-mailed personals:
You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e-
mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) or on
the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads. When you submit
something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI. If you do NOT get a
receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination
any more than all snail mail does). If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body
of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in. Check your receipt to
make sure your submission made it to the intended destination. Also check to see
that everything you sent made it to the same place. Sometimes HAL, who is rather
simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name
or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line. So if the word Ti
appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that
may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads. As a side note, sometimes
things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all.
If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn. Happy
writing! -- Ed.

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold. Kon of
the Empire Rising, and Osiris! May they be blessed with the blood of their enemies,
and give no quarter in War! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
