SPY REPORT
Welcome MALCORN. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Up 'n down. Up 'n down.
Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, BLOODSWORN's 5th
moved them up to 2-3-0 place. MALCORN's got someone new to push around. C'mon
everyone, challenge FEELINGS. Let's see how long they last. What's with TENDER
LOIN? He actually beat PHILANTHROPISTS' PHILOSOPHER, and walked away with 24 more
points from the fight. Laughs were big at DARK CREATION while they watched XANE
REAVER clobber AFFIRMED. He lost 12 points and got bruised from objects thrown from
the stands. Apparently MALCORN isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I
thought. The Dreaded Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn! Another fighter (MEAT
GRINDER 15-3-0) challenged another Duelmaster (CHARISMATIC 27-24-0). Life goes on.
I'm sure MALCORN is excited about MEAT GRINDER, the new Duelmaster from MEAT MARKET.
(remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... 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
MEAT MARKET. The bums at PHILANTHROPISTS couldn't face the challenges from MEAT
MARKET! No excuse for that!
Warriors of MALCORN unite. You have only your games to lose! TENDER LOIN
proved too determined for PHILOSOPHER. PHILOSOPHER was lucky to go in the ring, with
7-2-0 to his credit. He will be remembered. Many a warrior has met his fate in a
hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Miklo -- Heck. Darn. Drat. -- Ghost of Wasptongue
P.S. But I didn't surrender. You said, "Surrender or die," and I chose to die.
Death before afterlife, you know.
Little Puppet -- Laugh if you want, but you're the one who looks ridiculous. Passing
yourself off as Shewish at that height! Pfui. -- Ghost of Pebble
Philosopher -- I never yet found a philosopher that was much help when the lightbulbs
needed changing. -- Jessalin
Obmf -- Go ahead and laugh, no one will hear you over me laughing. Is that a NAME?
"Ob-muf"? -- Patterson Pine
P.S. Oh, all right. Just so you know, I wasn't really laughing at you, either.
Pain makes me hysterical, is all.
Strada -- You again. Not what I needed to make my day complete. -- Tree Shadow
People dying all over the place lately. (sigh) I hate recruiting. -- Jorja
Strada -- I hear that Jorja did actually issue a challenge last year, though not in
this arena. I think it was...Zorpunt, maybe? Or maybe that was the year before. It
isn't a thing she is likely to do here. But I'm available if you want to have
another go. -- Tree Shadow
P.S. Besides this time, I mean.
The air is so fresh and clean smelling here in this lovely place called Malcorn.
Such a pity really. Well, this is just my formal introduction to you all. And,
please, no applause. Soon this town will reek of the dead, or dying. Ahhh, now
that's the smell of a town I could settle down in. -- Rosebud, mgr. of Bloodsworn
Forever -- This is true. I am a victim of the system. Not a bad guy at all.
Really. -- (name withheld by request), Convicted Assassin

A few notes about e-mailed personals:
You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e-
mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) or on
the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads. When you submit
something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI. If you do NOT get a
receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination
any more than all snail mail does). If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body
of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in. Check your receipt to
make sure your submission made it to the intended destination. Also check to see
that everything you sent made it to the same place. Sometimes HAL, who is rather
simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name
or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line. So if the word Ti
appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that
may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads. As a side note, sometimes
things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all.
If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn. Happy
writing! -- Ed.

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold. Kon of
