SPY REPORT
Much has changed in ALJAFIR since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Woof! MIDDLE WAY were a
bunch of dogs after STEEL WOLVES got through with 'em! 3rd ain't so sweet as 1st!
What's with NYNAEVE HAXAN? She actually beat HEROESANDFOUNDONES' YELLOW ORC, and
walked away with 13 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at BALANCE OF TERROR
while they watched NYNAEVE HAXAN clobber YELLOW ORC. He lost 11 points and got
bruised from objects thrown from the stands. STEEL WOLVES' hatred of PHILANTHROPISTS
surfaced again as TITAN challenged ALJAFIR's top dog. I'm sure ALJAFIR is excited
about TITAN, the new Duelmaster from STEEL WOLVES. (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.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was STEEL WOLVES. In my day, no team with a 120-149-7 would scare
me off! What's the problem, FIELDS OF ELYSIUM? What do people see in YELLOW ORC?
His 1-2-0? HEROESANDFOUNDONES ain't talkin', but he's got 5 points. ERBIN FRORLIN
didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from MAXA SMASHU of BALANCE
OF TERROR, who is 22 points below him. MAXA SMASHU perhaps got hers just desserts,
seeing as she was beat by ERBIN FRORLIN and ended up with 36 recognition points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? I like to see warriors put young whippersnappers in their
place. I guess you could say MALICIOUS INTENT'GOUGED GRIMEYE did just that. Right
HEROESANDFOUNDONES? The ultimate victory is one that results in death. GOUGED
GRIMEYE of knows this. Will HEROESANDFOUNDONES attempt a Bloodfeud? MAXA SMASHU was
plum wore out after ERBIN FRORLIN pounded 'im silly in a Bloodfeud. BALANCE OF
TERROR'll have to get a little better before going after ERBIN FRORLIN again! 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
Vinn Wulf -- I was gonna kill ya but the effort was too much. So I let you
surrender. Just don't tell Master. He'd be upset if he knew I let a kill
opportunity slip away. So keep it to yourself. -- Etien Haxan
Titan -- You are a good fighter. I need more practice before we fight again. --
Forcas
Quord Rassel -- Me smash you real good. Fight again? -- Maxa Smashu
Pip's Granda -- You're no ordinary old bag. You're using magic, aren't you. How
else to explain your easy wins against me. -- Hexim Hsidar
Wendol Varn -- Are you still alive?! -- Etien Haxan
Etien Haxan -- Damn, of COURSE I hurt! What did anyone EXPECT? I spend more than
half a minute with a MADMAN whacking away at me with every weapon he can lay hands
on, of COURSE I'm going to hurt. Damn. -- Vinn Wulf
P.S. Thanks for the skills, and if I didn't hurt so much, I might even say, "Good
fight." As it is...nah.
Maxa Smashu -- Now, ma'am, you shouldn't have let them get away with hanging that
stereotype on you. Just because you're half Shewish (I can tell, but I won't mention
it to anyone else), you don't have to be crude and boorish. You, too, could manifest
beauty and grace! There is a charm school not too far from the arena that might be
able to help you. I would be glad to put in a word for you there. -- Quord Rassel
P.s. Oh, wait, I'm dead. Well, damn, that does make it difficult. But go anyway.
Nyzeil Oglata -- It isn't the LEAST bit of good you asking me for a date, duel2dude
or no. I just don't DO that kind of thing. Go find yourself a gal. -- Wendol Varn
The Veteran Mercenary is simply too touchy. I suppose it goes with being an
overgrown dwarf, and thus, among his own people, a freak. But any little comment off
the straight and narrow, and he goes berserk. And berserk in the arena is usually a
mistake. -- Straight Line
Dangerous Criminal. Ugh. Too dangerous, and definitely criminal. Bah, humbug. --
Erbin Frorlin
Titan -- Well, go check out Maxa Smashu. -- Straight Line
20 October 2006
In accordance with those rules set forth by the Lady of the Realm, I hereby announce
the formation of a small group of managers calling themselves "The Outsiders". The
group consists of the following members:
Doc LeGrande
Apex
Street Legal
Carnage
Ghoti
Roadkill
Valamond
This group has only one rule. Respect the play of the managers of this
alliance. We have no worries about not playing by the rules set forth by others. We
fight the way we like, and all those in this group appreciate what tools each manager
brings. We have managers from the Delarquan, Andorian and Free Blade regions. We
have managers that focus on the tournament arenas, and we have those that focus on
the regular city arenas. We have those in our ranks that fight with honor and
respect for all, and we have those that have a bloodlust that cannot be quenched.
Our goal is simple. To create a ensemble of managers that will show their
prowess in the land of Alastari, and to bring a new level of competition to all those
that share the sands with our warriors. Our warriors are many throughout the land.
We have no home arena. We have no pacts we abide by. Our fighters range from
Mordant to Talcama, from Lapur to Lyratilan, Aruak City to Valamantis, the Primus
arena to Talahya, and many more arenas throughout the land.
Whether we are sought out or ignored makes no difference to us. We are what we
are. We fight how we fight. And we do it however we wish. We have no rules. We
have no leader or ruler. Be prepared. We are.

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire respond thus to the Avengers of the Light:
Where are you? EACH AND EVERY Dark Knight can be found in arenas 31 and 52. Your
pretty words mean less than nothing if you won't fight. EVERY Dark Knight is more
than willing to back up their talk. So...we give you three turns in either 31 or 52,
REPEAT 31 or 52 to show up or shut up. If you don't show we'll let all of Alastari
know the Avengers are indeed cowards! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire
