SPY REPORT
Welcome ZUWAYZA. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with STARTER? He
actually beat THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS' NIFTY NICKEL, and walked away with 13 more points
from the fight. Laughs were big at FIRE while they watched STARTER clobber NIFTY
NICKEL. He lost 10 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Har
har har! Did HAWKINS wimp out, or just get lazy? Anyway, he's not Duelmaster
anymore. I'm sure ZUWAYZA is excited about CARY YON, the new Duelmaster from FUNKY
FOLK. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Advice to fighters
with a 1 will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
JAGUAR WARRIORS. The bums at FUNKY FOLK couldn't face the challenges from JAGUAR
WARRIORS! No excuse for that! What do people see in CARY YON? Hers 9-4-0? FUNKY
FOLK ain't talkin', but she's got 103 points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to
go...
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. 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
Heded Hag -- Your kills don't scare me, but the death statement obviously scared you.
That's right, one more shot and you would have been dead. Now, I'm the supreme being
of this fine arena for a short period of time. Unfortunately I have a tourney to go
to and am now on my number so you have been spared. I will say you are tough, you
took more shots than I expected, you were a formidable foe. Congratulations on not
dying! -- Hawkins
All -- My apologies for not getting in a DM column. Barnabas has personal concerns
at the moment and didn't have time to put one in. My tour is short for I am heading
to the mail-in, hopefully to win the damn thing! -- Hawkins
Lew Siffer -- You were almost number six. -- Ved Buens Ende
The Kung Fu Master cheats! He doesn't use any weapons! I didn't want to hurt him
with my huge weapon. What should I have done? -- Deo Volente
Hawkins -- Well, the Sierras have finally woken up. Time to hide for a bit. -- Heded
Hag
Sowatdee Cob -- Welcome to the Holy City. May Kjarran guide your blades! --
Noachian, mgr. Jaguar Warriors
Hot Rod -- I must insist on a jaguar! Why would I want to drive anything else? --
Matarse Fury
Zuwayza -- I will crush you all! -- Humlae
Dark Chocolate -- I regret to...no, I don't regret it. I will tell you that Dark
Chocolate graduated from Iaye some time ago. Although I don't think she was as tall
as you are, so perhaps you're the "new, improved" version? Not that one can really
IMPROVE on dark chocolate, just vary the parameters a little. I am told that it's
all good, although being male, it has a lesser appeal for me. Still, chocolate is so
USEFUL to a man looking for congenial company...you busy tonight? -- Times
P.S. You should have warned me about the nuts. Or maybe removed the shells. I
nearly broke a tooth on that!
White Chocolate -- I'm not sure you have sufficient xanthene alkaloids, and we who
fly need a really large amount, you know. Sure, you're PRETTY, but what's the good
of pretty without xanthene alkaloids? It's all hollow and empty, a snare and a
delusion. -- Flight Journal
Ong-Bak -- You have learned a valuable lesson: more blood, more gore, more shrieking
and groaning! This is not only good, it's ESSENTIAL. Blood and death, and wagers
that make and destroy fortunes, those are all that matter. -- Blood Sports, foaming
slightly at the mouth and ears
Matarse Fury -- NOOOO! Not the "wheel-lock"! We'll BOTH crash! -- Hot Rod the
frantic
Jewel -- Hey, you want to sell that and buy some skills, or maybe a new life, I can
give you a great deal on an ad. Step right up and lay your nickel down! -- Nifty
Nickel
P.S. So long as you don't forget that you get exactly what you pay for.
Mr. Humlae -- Glad to have you here. Just be careful crossing the street. There are
some real madmen out there in the chariots. -- Jorja, Magnificent Mags
14 September 2006
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.
25 September 2006
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!

Captain of the alliance he/she has claimed for;
3. Only one (1) team per player may compete. NO multiple aliases please.

turns.
5. The turn a declaration and verification will begin the scoring process.

Champions:
a. Champions may be declared, but are not mandatory. If declared, the Champion
must be in the Adepts or lower brackets on the turn they are declared
without having gone above the Adepts bracket at any time...including
transferred teams. (I'll be watching for this occurrence!)
Bloodfeuds:
a. Bloodfeuds count for all four (4) turns. However, the same warrior may not
be used all four turns. 4 turns means 4 separate warriors. A penalty of
-10 will be given to the team who violates this.

same conditions as noted for TVs.
h. NO switching alliance once verified by an alliance that a team has declared
for.
i. Only 7 teams are permitted per alliance for the Turf War 5.
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!
