SPY REPORT
Much has changed in BONSUR since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with PALMETTA
PATTY? She actually beat CHURCH LADIES' PAM, and walked away with 21 more points
from the fight. Laughs were big at BEACH BABES while they watched PALMETTA PATTY
clobber PAM. She lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.
N'ORLEANS NORA was reminded on the sands why OBROJOBO is Duelmaster. I suppose you
want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports.
BONSUR thinks IMPORTED FOOTBALLERS and their 95-76-3 is too much! If at first you
don't succeed, give up... In my day, no team with a 95-76-3 would scare me off!
What's the problem, SENTINELS? What do people see in NEANDERTHAL? His 10-10-0?
SENTINELS ain't talkin', but he's got 50 points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Sending a warrior to the Dark Arena reminds the others they'd
better shape up. Tough beans, ARTIS. That's what a 10-7-1 gets you. Here's some
advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? 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. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Slipknot's team -- Look, I really wasn't trying to kill him, I just sorta slipped.
But then, he did challenge me! Bad idea, I guess. -- Oliander
Lila -- I was testing out a new strategy. I guess it worked. -- Erasmus
A cult member? Who lets those folks into the arena? Shouldn't they be hanging out
in dark and secret places? -- Chios
New blood at the top! Great! Wait--there was only one footballer fighting this turn
and he beat me! Grrr...who needs new/old blood anyway? -- Neanderthal
Erasmus -- Pensacolita tells me she's got a recipe for a mocha smash. That's what I
need, RIGHT NOW. What a day! And the wind chill's minus four, which doesn't help a
bit. This armor is COLD. -- Long Beach Lila
Obrojobo -- That was well done. You'll have to come by the cabana tonight for a
celebration, we've got barbecue and a rather good vin, though Surfer Sam says it
should age for another day or two. -- N'Orleans Nora
That Captured Pirate was some kind of fake! There's no way he could have been
captured without first killing a lot of people--he's FIERCE--and if he'd killed a lot
of people, I would have HEARD about it and been warned. So there. -- Pensacolita
P.S. Unless...no, it couldn't have been the party last night, could it? I quit
early.
P.P.S. At least, I think it was early, though I can't recall hearing the clock
strike sixteen before.
Koochie Galore -- You need to work on your towel technique. A skilled woman of the
beach should be able to snap an opponent on the butt and get out of reach in a flash,
half a flash after she practices. As it was, you were so slow off the mark that I
was able to slice your towel into RIBBONS before you'd gotten it in gear. -- Teri
Towyl
Pam -- (staggering with shock) Where'd you come from? I was totally not ready for
that one. -- Palmetta Patty
Obrojobo -- Indeed, Nora is an inspiration to us all. -- Pensacolita
Oliander -- Sure! I'm always ready to share my towel with a cute and courteous guy.
-- Teri Towyl

Order of Lost Souls
Where there is a beginning, there is an end. Where there is a whole, there is a
part. Where there is light, there is dark. All these are found to be true and along
with the most important, when something is lost it can always be found.
Many a person has walked this land in one form or another. Some truly believe
that here is there and there is here but who really knows? Among the peoples of this
great land many have felt lost in time and in place. Some have gone as far as to be
lost of soul....
Although most are thought to have been born into this world in a mortal way, no
one can be sure. Life is something they have in a way but a torturous joke to them
in all others. They live in a sense as they are here and now and having mind and
knowledge. They are flesh and blood of one sort of another. They cast a shadow as
all things living do. Blood courses through their veins.
These beings have become wraiths drifting here and there, knowing that they
truly belong nowhere. Searching for that one thing that they seem to be missing or
the one thing in them that puts them beyond others. These people have become masters
of many things as time seems to have no hold. For not even time can find those that
are truly lost. Many of these beings have drifted toward the gladiatorial games. In
the blood and chaos of the arenas something holds them like no other. It's the loss
of something they have never had or something they had so long ago it seems to have
never been. LIFE.
A few of the more shall we say "human" of these beings have settled into many
arenas around the land. The loss of life and the crazed emotions of the arenas
giving them glimpses of things they longed for but seemed incapable of attaining.
A number of these lost ones saw in each other something that might be able to
help the other. They spent many a day traveling to and fro, for what is time to one
who it doesn't touch. The more time they spent together the more they seemed to
change. No one noticed the change in the others but each recognized it in himself.
Years passed and the changes stopped. Each had been changed in different ways but
all felt more whole. A discussion ensued between them. They came to a realization
that in each other they had found parts of themselves that had been missing. Then
came the next thought. If they could find more of like minded lost ones they might
eventually find what they always wanted, their true selves.
The group settled down to think things through. They finally came up with an
idea they all could accept. They would form an organization that through their
arenas through out the land they would seek out other lost ones. If they were of
like mind they would be invited to join the group and seek that special something
they all desired.
This was how it began and how it still is. The Order of Lost Souls was formed
and the search began. The original members numbered six. They were Baphomet,
Blackstorm, Hammer, JGW, Reaper and Wretch. These members of the Order spread their
gladiator stables through out the realm seeking others like them. Through blood and
death they lived through others. One day hoping to live for themselves. For as they
all know what is lost must eventually be found....

CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.
Chase a.k.a. SwineTiger
2 February 2008
ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
