SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of ZUWAYZA! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Biff! Pow! ZUWAYZA watched with
glee as THE SIERRAS got knocked off top spot by THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS! Up 'n down.
Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well,
WHETSTONE 2's 3rd moved them up to 2-0-1 place. What's with MEG LOMANIA? She
actually beat ZUWAYZA's EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, and walked away with 20 more points from
the fight. Laughs were big at THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS while they watched ELLE clobber
DAYNE JEROUS. He lost 4 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.
ZUWAYZA, set your sights on VENOMOUS CONCUBINE. She'll be happy to entertain all
requests after defeating JERRY ATTRICKS. ELNEAN looked pretty Duelmasterlike as he
took ZUWAYZA's top spot with 68 points. Now, what will JERRY ATTRICKS do? 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. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, THE SIERRAS! Management must be dealin', as the boys at FUNKY FOLK ain't
reelin'! THE SIERRAS' mad!
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Who will dare fight ELNEAN, after he returned from
the Dark Arena? (For the record 7-4-1 is 68, and has he points) Here's some advice:
study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here?
ZUWAYZA is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.
Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,--
Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Jerry Attricks -- Is this a case of age and cunning overcoming youth and skill?
Besides being a classic style match, of course. Ouch, and assorted other words of
anguish. Well done. -- White Wolf
Halfdan -- Hmm, half dan and half mechanism? I didn't expect you to be a golem, for
some reason. Odd, when I think about it. After all, why shouldn't you be a golem?
I hear there's a golem-manufactory about twenty miles west of the city, were you made
there? -- Elle
P.S. What's a dan when it's at home?
Klypp -- That was clipping! It's a foul, you should be penalized for it! At least,
if I'm remembering correctly. It's been a while.... -- Sports Ill
Loren -- Gosh, you're OLD. Even older than some of us. But you move pretty good for
an old broad. -- (Plain Wrapper)
P.S. Okay, so I wasn't tactful, why should I be? You were hitting me, I made blunt
comments, that sounds like a fair deal to ME.
20 April 2005
I have returned after a five-year absence. I expect all tithes, gifts and bequeaths
to resume as normal. -- Magic Man
4 May 2005
Several questions have been asked about Slaughter's Challenge that I'd like to
address and clarify.
1) All Prizes must be used on the contest team, this includes the resurrection.
Remember any fast arena team should be able to transfer to a slow arena
(except for arena 82, I believe).
2) Warriors will be allowed to fight and run in the dead tourney, should there
be one, and return if an opening can be made without breaking the rules
(i.e. only one DA fight allowed per team).
3) If you win your single DA match you do not get another. It's one use of the
Dark Arena win or lose so if you want him/her/it dead be sure and throw the
match!
4) The resurrection potion's longevity has been extended by the commission to 6
months but the other potions (favorites, and +1 bonus) must still be used
within 2 turns and on a 5 FE or higher warrior. The resurrection can go on
any warrior regardless of FE.
Street Legal
P.S. My thanks to those already entered (Hammer, The Consortium, Tripwire, Stik, and
Shaman) and hope many more find a reason to come to arena 54. Again, my email is
triumph1971@hotmail.com or you can diplo me in arena 14 at THE DEATH SQUAD (63) if
you need more info!
