SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to TOBIR once again! What's with LRB? He actually beat THE
DOGHOUSE's SCRUFF, and walked away with 25 more points from the fight. Laughs were
big at NO-HALF STEPPING while they watched LRB clobber SCRUFF. He lost 15 points and
got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. See how the Duelmaster challenged
OTAGO HIGHLANDERS' MOLYNEUX? That sort of initiative is how he got where he is now.
Try as he might, MOLYNEUX wasn't good enough at persuading SHOWSTOPPER to step down
from the Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
NO-HALF STEPPING. In my day, no team with a 47-44-5 would scare me off! What's the
problem, HIGH SCHOOL PROM? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged
warrior, MOLYNEUX! 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? Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every
day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
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
09/04/2006. We remember. -- Croc Files 3
Abbott -- (injured look) (make that, BADLY injured look) I could have lived for
years without that. If you didn't like me, you could just AVOID me, you know. --
Ghost of Tipar Kuroo
P.S. See if I ever teach YOU four skills again! No gratitude, that's your problem.
No consideration.
Weston -- Wait! You didn't give me a chance to get set! You didn't even give me a
chance to realize the fight was starting! -- Ginkor the taken-by-surprise
P.S. What is it with you Otago Highlanders? You have to get everything right away?
We'd wait. We'd give you time to do the job properly, savor, enjoy, roll in it,
whatever. There's no need to RUSH.
P.P.S. One-shotted, how embarrassing.
Showstopper -- I'm glad you won that one (without killing me), because I didn't want
to do a column, and Jorja INSISTS. But you're much better in that position than *I*
ever was, even if you are half an elf. -- Scruff
P.S. People who are half an elf have a different smell. Not bad, you know, just
different. Any dog would get twitchy around a smell that wasn't, well, normal. But
it wasn't anything PERSONAL when I tried to bite you.
Clown -- Ha. Ha. -- Echanosarah
P.S. If you want the girls to notice you, try being polite. That'll catch their
attention, being so unusual.
Tea -- (snorting and sneezing) Ow! That's awful stuff. -- Whole Mutt
Whole Mutt -- By refusing to conform to the accepted norm and wear a collar with
appropriate tags, you are undermining the very FOUNDATIONS of civilization. You are
advocating nothing less than anarchy! -- Darias le Plume, Trustworthy Scribe
Darias le Plume -- There IS nothing less than anarchy. Anarchy is at the very bottom
of the barrel. Trust me, this is something I know about. -- Arenamaster Vashku
