SPY REPORT
Welcome ALJAFIR. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... STEEL WOLVES showed ALJAFIR
what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 4-1-0.
What's with VINN WULF? He actually beat ALJAFIR's VENOMOUS CONCUBINE, and walked
away with 20 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at STEEL WOLVES while they
watched NIGHTSONG clobber PIP'S GRANDMA. She lost 12 points and got bruised from
objects thrown from the stands. What a role model for ALJAFIR's young 'uns! JORRAM
becomes Duelmaster, but don't bother to fight no more! I'm sure ALJAFIR is excited
about NYZEIL OGLATA, the new Duelmaster from PHILANTHROPISTS. (remember?) But when
you've seen as many as I have... 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, BALANCE OF
TERROR! The bums at STEEL WOLVES couldn't face the challenges from BALANCE OF
TERROR! No excuse for that! What do people see in NYZEIL OGLATA? His 12-4-0?
PHILANTHROPISTS ain't talkin', but he's got 102 points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Someone told PIP'S GRANDMA that STEEL WOLVES never
Bloodfeuded, that she'd have an easy kill. Well, I'm sure whoever misled you is
right sorry. How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go...
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Nyzeil Oglata -- With a name like that, you should be on our team. Hmm, maybe that's
MY name! I bet it is! You name-thief! You've got my name...and my record!
Surrender them both immediately! -- Straight Line
Hexim Hsidar -- You're probably insane. Or your manager is insane, and you're too
spineless to stand up to him when he tells you to challenge somebody with my
experience. Either way, I say to you, HA! Take that, you overgrown idiot. -- Quord
Rassel
P.S. Don't you ever get TIRED of balancing the terror?
And three wins against standbys, how...totally thrilling and proud-making. Wow, we
are so puffed up over it. -- Wendol Varn, Erbin Frorlin, and Vinn Wulf
Etien Haxan -- What kind of gladiator needs me to "step aside" so he can graduate? --
Straight Line
Maxa Smashu -- No, no, it's very simple. You just sign here and here, and leave the
rest to me! -- Lex Tethro, Scribe but not really an Embezzler, just...creative
Vinn Wulf -- So. You're out to get me, are you? Think it'll make you a Big Man if
you can put me down? Don't close your eyes, dummy, because I ALWAYS get my own back.
-- Terregolis, Dangerous and Criminally Inclined
Erbin Frorlin -- (cringe) -- an anonymous Fratsfa Slave
Wendol Varn -- All that, and you want me to loan you MONEY? You're insane! -- Gurzam
Halli, Merchant and Moneylender, but not Userer because nobody lets me charge any
interest at all
Oh Yeah! -- (hissing) Yesss. -- Wurm Kin
More Da Meat -- Error. This unit has no use for "meat." -- Stone Golem
Valdric -- (grunt) Where meat? -- Mountain Troll

I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a
novice and clueless manager.
Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless
manager.
I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows,
they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out.
The Couatl 2-17
Madam Butterfly 20-701
Gypsy Moth 20-703
King Crab 21-1
Priestess Python 26-1388
Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient
warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times.

It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light. Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth. YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!! The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats. It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us! I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face! Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!

PRIZES:
Turf Wars are a "Winner Takes All" type contest. All prizes and 100% of the RU
Certs will be given to the Captain of the winning alliance and it is his/her
responsibility to give these to the alliance membership.
I have requested from RSI the following:
a. renaming of the orth Fork (DM 47) arena;
b. renaming of Dark Arena Monsters;
c. known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning
alliance. This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the
last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to
receive this award).
Baphomet, Host of TW5
Special Note: A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower
bracket. Same bracket, more recognition points? Not a downchallenge!
