SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to TALCAMA once again! Hmmmph! I always thought STAR WARS: KOTOR
was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-1-0! Ya gotta be quick on yer
feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! SHEPHERDS is now
ranked 5th with a 3-2-0 turn. IMPURE THOUGHTS showed TALCAMA what they were made of
as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 3-1-0. What's with THE DEMOCRAT?
He actually beat BIG MEAN FISH's FANG BLENNY, and walked away with 17 more points
from the fight. Major screwup at BURN N' PILLAGE. AKAI lost 14 points to PROGIDY,
DAMMIT!. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe AKAI will provide more easy wins...
Another fighter (GAD 23-14-1) challenged another Duelmaster (DESECRATION 6-7-1).
Life goes on. I'm sure TALCAMA is excited about GAD, the new Duelmaster from
SHEPHERDS. (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.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. TALCAMA thinks CENTER FOR
OLDS and their 1002-985-63 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up...
The bums at WIZARDGUARD couldn't face the challenges from CENTER FOR OLDS! No excuse
for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, HOFFA!
Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Fighting is a better craft
than farming, DARTH SION, but you have to pay your dues. Being challenged by DATA
LOSS, 39 points above you, is dues. DATA LOSS subdued DARTH SION. I bet DATA LOSS
could beat two-year-olds, too. Well, STAR WARS: KOTOR knows who to set their sights
on.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Sending a warrior to the Dark Arena reminds the
others they'd better shape up. Tough beans, GROM THE UNMAKER. That's what a 4-8-1
gets you. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die
so young, so gloriously!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? 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. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately. If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
