SPY REPORT
Welcome ZUWAYZA. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Woof! FUNKY FOLK were a
bunch of dogs after CUNNING RUNTS got through with 'em! 3rd ain't so sweet as 1st!
MISFITS' walking tall now that they went 2-1-0 their first time out. But we know
what awaits them soon... What's with STEWIE GRIFFIN? He actually beat ZUWAYZA's M.
CHARDINEE, and walked away with 19 more points from the fight. Major screwup at THE
MAGNIFICENT MAGS. BLACK BELT lost 8 points to ERIC CARTMAN. Some new strategies,
perhaps? Maybe BLACK BELT will provide more easy wins... I can barely restrain my
enthusiam for IDES OF MARCH's outstanding member, Duelmaster ANTONIUS. I suppose you
want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. ZUWAYZA thinks CUNNING RUNTS
and their 61-33-1 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... In my day,
no team with a 57-32-1 would scare me off! What's the problem, IDES OF MARCH? What
do people see in BLACK BELT? His 22-13-0? THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS ain't talkin', but
he's got 91 points.
Warriors of ZUWAYZA unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior
has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. 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. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Deep Thought -- Actually, Marcellus has the stats, but no bonuses.... An unfortunate
and ever too frequent occurrence with this game. I honestly didn't realize we
matched up the prior turn, but an AB seeking out a TP is just plain good sense....
As previously stated, there aren't many options regarding challenges. Both of our
stables are about equal in experience and of my current guys, only Publius has fought
in a tourney. And you do have the Top Team with 64% win/loss.... An up or down
challenge between equally experienced warriors in an arena with four teams should
bear little relevance. If you prefer, I can avoid and not challenge, but you would
have to do the same. Whatever the case, just let me know. I don't want your gaming
experience here in Zuwayza to be a negative. No hard feelings. -- Caesar
Deep Thought -- Those under Size 9 replacements you refer to are hard to come by and
downright expensive. My contributions to the Dark Arena are legendary.... -- Caesar
Black Belt -- Got me that time, eh? Oh well, at least I kept you away from my LU and
AB! -- Publius
Jack Hamma -- I thought for sure you would be shelved for the tourney and I would get
Wee Man instead. Nice fight and congratulations! You get to leave on top and you
now have your favorites for the Freshman tourney. -- Antonius
Wali Kharif -- Glad to see you are back. Hope to see you here consistently, we can
certainly use the teams! -- Caesar
Publius -- Correct me if I'm wrong, but you seem very familiar. Tell me you are not
the current manifestation of the Great Unwashed? No, no, I see that you can't be,
you're clean. Well, reasonably clean, considering what we were doing when we
encountered each other most recently. And, of course, they'll wash you will or nill
in the Infirmary. I sometimes wonder about that. It isn't like we can sue them for
malpractice if we die of dirt and infection, after all. -- Black Belt
Manny Kin -- MOST men give me jewelry, rather than bruises. You might want to
consider this if we meet again. It makes me much friendlier. -- Ornament
Stewie Griffin -- Dammit, that was MY trash, some of the best examples of Early
Gathic Kitsch that I have ever seen, even in the catalogs! Give it BACK. -- Trash
Collector
P.S. Besides, if you plan to resell it, and who would want the stuff around the
house on a long term basis, eh?, you will need my contacts in the Trash Collectors
Market.
Evel Dewar -- How odd. I had gotten the impression, somehow, that you were a kind of
whiskey. And the way I feel right now, I could USE some whiskey. -- The Artist
Shirl Locke -- Just the person I need. I was dominating the fight, the Commission's
reporters wouldn't be wrong about something like that, and then, at the last minute
(rather suspicious, I think), I simply...fell over. Obviously, there has been Foul
Play involved. Investigate it for me, there's a good girl. -- Modern Scene
P.S. Probably some reactionary.
Antonius -- Good column, thanks for taking the time. -- Jorja, the Magnificent Mags
Our congratulations to Jack Hamma. -- Jorja and the Mags
P.S. Going to the tourney as an immortal Champion?
Jack Hamma -- That was timed perfectly, my friend. I don't know if you're fighting
in Adepts or Champions, but your invite gets you immortality in the tourney. Good
luck in AD. -- Deep Thought
Ornament -- That's Griffin, not Griffon. I don't have wings unless I've just
consumed a four pack of Red Bull. -- Stewie
Black Belt -- Don't have hard feeling dude, I think I'm just coming into my own.
After a 1-5 start, I've gone 9-3 with 3 experts and a master. I am my managers first
real attempt at a p/r and I think he likes me. -- Wee Man, yes from jackass
P.S. I started out with one of those experts, guess what it was in.
