SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of ARKERS! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Woof! PEASANT REBELLION were a
bunch of dogs after YOU PAY I SLAY got through with 'em! 7th ain't so sweet as 1st!
Phhbltt! Too much drinking and too little dodging gave PEASANT REBELLION a 0-0-0! I
got a good laugh out of it! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the
table! Thrust! Block out the pain! WEIRD ALCHEMY is now ranked 2nd with a 4-1-0
turn. What's with XARGOTH? He actually beat YOU PAY I SLAY's IMA SLAYER, and walked
away with 24 more points from the fight. Major screwup at YOU PAY I SLAY. IMA
SLAYER lost 15 points to XARGOTH. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe IMA SLAYER
will provide more easy wins... Another fighter (IWO JIMA 17-5-0) challenged another
Duelmaster (URA GONER 7-1-0). Life goes on. IWO JIMA was reminded on the sands why
URA GONER is Duelmaster. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?
I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, SMITHSONIAN!
Management must be dealin', as the boys at THE CHOSEN ain't reelin'! SMITHSONIAN's
mad! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, HYPPOMATOS!
Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. YOSEMITE didn't quite know
what to make of a challenge he received from PORT-A-FORTRESS of THE CHOSEN, who is 22
points below him. PORT-A-FORTRESS perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was
bested by YOSEMITE and ended up with 86 recognition points. I hate going to the
effort of writing about the kind of fights that HYPPOMATOS gets in. He fights people
like ORVILLE ROUSE, 11 points below. I thought HYPPOMATOS showed great skill and
promise when he defeated ORVILLE ROUSE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills,
fight dirty.
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here?
ARKERS 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
Hey, Khisanth, you studly sandbagging strategist! Great seeing you at The Orlando
Face. Congrats on DM & LP Ura Goner and LP Ima Slayer! I feel like they are my
nephews or something as I have known them for a long, long time. Good luck with them
in The Big Time. -- Curator Of Smithsonian
For those wanting to know (and those who could give a whit), Alamo's faves were:
WF (whiffle), Mod/Very Low, Bash Tactic, Learns Riposte. -- Curator
Clyde D'Club -- You were too much for me. I sprang a leak. -- Mayflower
Imerta Loel -- You need to hike more often. Get out and see the world. -- Yosemite
Port-A-Fortress -- That is a great idea--sandwiches and drinks for the next one!
However, I think you, the loser, should have to bring it all. (snicker) -- Yosemite
Ee woe Zzgee muh, Kotter Nahl. Got it? -- Iwo Jima
Penny -- It was my day to plant the flag! -- Iwo Jima
Health. Humility. Honor. -- Curator
Where oh where have my winning Zs gone...? -- The Z Man
Port-A-Fortress -- Do I get the free drinks and sandwiches too? -- Zest
Ura Goner -- I gave it my best try, but you were too good and I am too old-fashioned.
-- Zork (Saluting the Duelmaster)
Globulizer -- Welcome back! But did I have to be the one to contribute a win?
Yikes! -- Zephyr (Not feeling very high at the moment.)
The Z Gladiators will rise again! -- Mister Zee
Leland Olven -- Thank you, sir. May I have another? -- Ocean Size
Alamo -- Actually, before the invasion of the tourney babies, I held the duelmaster
title for four turns. It is a little difficult fighting lord protectors disguised as
regular opponents. This just goes to show that my opinion was correct. Arkers is a
city without class. -- Port-A-Fortress
Alamo -- Sorry about that. Porta is not a fan of Arkers. He still hasn't forgiven
me for choosing here over Aruak City. But I can understand his frustration. When we
arrived, Arkers only had four teams. Finally, teams started showing up. That is
good, right? No, because they leave after one turn. It seems everyone is more
interested in chasing after lord protectors instead of playing. Don't get me wrong,
lord protectors are great and it helps to fill Greywand's army. But imagine if
everyone who has activated a team in the past few months played. I don't mean just
your best tourney babies but actually played five warriors. Arkers would be a lot
more fun. -- Longshot
Have you tried the no-tourney arenas? Shades of remembered glories!
Yosemite -- Are telling me that you DIDN'T break wind? You always smell like
that?!?!?! Didn't anyone ever tell you that hygiene is your friend? -- Port-A-
Fortress
Zest -- Our fight was much like Alamo's last DM column. -- Port-A-Fortress
Fielder -- I, much like Ocean, only challenged high in an attempt to learn from a
better warrior. It seems I came up dry. Until next time. -- Lionik
Pugachev -- I was as shocked as you were after our fight. I hope to do the same to
you next time. -- Pyrat Ironforged
Enema Maker -- That'll teach you to start crap. -- Ria the Caresser
**Facepalm*** -- Lionik
**Facepalm*** -- Port-A-Fortress
**Facepalm*** -- Ocean Size
**Facepalm*** -- Pyrat Ironforged
Zoo -- Yes, of course. I'm an animal activist or something. -- Leland Olven
Our congratulations to Ura Goner and Ima Slayer. -- Jorja and those who walk the
Middle Way
Two-two. Not what we expected, but we'll take it. As regards personals, we are
given to understand that the Hands are hot and tired and unwilling to natter on and
on. Damn. You'll just have to imagine it this time, and by next time, it should be
cooler. -- Leland Olven for the Middle Way
