SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to RIZTAB once again! Biff! Pow! RIZTAB watched with glee as
CULTS-R-US got knocked off top spot by DREAMERS! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings
always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, HIGH JINKS' 2nd moved
them up to 5-0-0 place. Some people say I ramble too much, I don't say anything
relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well DREAMERS moved up 1, to 1st. What's
with HERACLITUS? He actually beat RIZTAB's HEZASH THE MOUTH, and walked away with 20
more points from the fight. Major screwup at SWEET MAGIC. SWEET BETSEY lost 10
points to SISTER Q. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe SWEET BETSEY will provide
more easy wins... Try as he might, RANFNAGUD wasn't good enough at persuading
BACARDI LIMON to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... I suppose you want to
hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
THE UNDEAD. The bums at CULTS-R-US couldn't face the challenges from THE UNDEAD! No
excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior,
TARILISS! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. KRANKYKARL
didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from JIM BEAM of BLACKED
OUT ON..., who is 19 points below him. JIM BEAM perhaps got his just desserts,
seeing as he was beat by KRANKYKARL and ended up with 65 recognition points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Hmm... More surprises must remain in store for me, if CROWN
ROYAL can return from the Dark Arena. JASPER looked pretty sick and surprised when
she learned COLD IRON BLOWS is sending her to the Dark Arena! Whadd'she expect with
a 9-10-0? Who will dare fight EGROS, after he returned from the Dark Arena? (For
the record 9-11-1 is 66, and has he points) Here's some advice: study your opponent,
master many skills, fight dirty.
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Hurricane -- Youse's kinda more like a tor-nadey. Localized...n' dang! them shots
hurt. -- Krankykarl
Crown Royale -- Well, team dexterity, sure...now that you've removed your auspicious
self and all. -- Dex
Jim Beam -- Good in your own right and for what you bring to the sands, but you're no
Crown Royale. -- Dexter
Jasper -- We try to hold to the old country. Sometimes the old ways can hold sway.
-- Missy Mossy
Blaze -- I just can't stand thunder. Winter storms are much quieter...except for
the howling of the wind, of course. You hot-weather types are so flamboyant! --
Winter Shadows
P.S. Skills would have been good. Don't be stingy next time. If, of course, there
is a next time.
Ghost -- Don't you LISTEN to those reporters! I did NOT scream in the Infirmary, I
was totally silent, except, well, I might have screamed in outrage when one of the
"doctors" suggested cutting off, I mean, AMPUTATING my leg, merely because I'd been
wounded on the jaw (not enough to stop me yelling at them). And I have dark
suspicions about the uses to which the live octopus is put. But other than that, *I*
behaved with dignity and restraint in the Infirmary. -- Tariliss
Poor old Fred the Unready... he WAS. Totally unprepared. He didn't even have his
armor on, and his shield did him no good at all, as I broke it first thing. I
suppose I'll have to take the big lunk out to dinner to make up for it, because he is
rather a sweety in the normal way. A doofus, but a gentle doofus. -- Sweet Betsey
Leucippus -- I don't find that behavior "dreamy" at all. -- Corianelle
Parmenides -- If you think anyone but the Commission will believe you're a Shew at
that height, you really ARE a dreamer. -- Tiannary
Our congratulations to Crown Royal. -- Jorja and the Sweet Magic crew
Jondeaux -- Let us hear no second thoughts and regrets over your latest pair, Logjam
and Bad Consequences. Remember, the decision is YOURS. We of the Dark Arena are not
to blame here. -- Arenamaster Rillion
How can anyone consider the death of All Size - No Thanks to be murder? I resent
that characterization! -- Spymaster Torric
