SPY REPORT
Much has changed in RIZTAB since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Biff! Pow! RIZTAB
watched with glee as HIGH JINKS got knocked off top spot by CULTS-R-US! What's with
MOLLY? She actually beat SWEET MAGIC's CORIANELLE, and walked away with 20 more
points from the fight. Laughs were big at SWEET MAGIC while they watched SWEET
BETSEY clobber TIDDLES. She lost 4 points and got bruised from objects thrown from
the stands. Try as he might, LEUCIPPUS wasn't good enough at persuading SISTER Q to
step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects
to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was DREAMERS. In my day, no team with a 1164-1174-89 would scare
me off! What's the problem, CULTS-R-US?
Warriors of RIZTAB unite. You have only your games to lose! Is it my
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so
gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. 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
All -- Remember my little slasher, Missy Mossy? Her rhythms' were VH/VL and her fav
was the Broadsword. Great holidays, still picking up the pieces. -- Jondeaux
Tiannary -- If I grow big sideburns can I change my name to "Elvis?" -- Marlow
Brother Zoink -- You're smarter'n a Circus Dog. -- Molly
Heraclitus -- A couple of like-poles are we. Repelling each other and like that
there. -- Repulsive Rogan
Winter Shadows -- Thank you and congrats. The war flail, eh? I'd like an ambi
waste, 2 war flails, first minute straight parry strategy. Get my notches from the
offensives. -- Jondeaux
Jondeaux -- I missed you in Kolact. What's happening? -- Jorja
Sister Q -- I salute you and hand over the title with relief. Long may you reign. --
Winter Shadows
P.S. When I get settled--I don't even know where yet--maybe you'd like to come by
for hot tea some cold winter morning.
Brother Zen -- No, sorry, I just can't do that "sit quietly and think about nothing"
business. It's the internal dialog thing, *I* can shut up, but *me* won't. --
Tariliss
Parmenides -- Cheese for pasta? Not a bad idea. -- Sweet Betsey
Marlow -- Oh, a dwarf. That explains it. -- Tiannary
P.S. I was going to say, "Gosh, you weren't much of a gentleman there," but dwarves
reckon those things differently. No point trying to guilt-trip someone who has no
idea what I'm talking about.
Pythagoras -- You make me think of a joke I heard once in geometry class. About two
straight lines that will meet somewhere in infinity...and they believe it. Ah, well,
I never said it was funny. Floating promises aren't, usually. -- Corianelle
Marlow -- Tempting. -- Corianelle
Repulsive Rogan -- Is too! -- Marmaduke the Broke

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
