SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to LAPUR once again! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always
change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, VENUSIANS' 2nd moved them up to
4-1-1 place. What's with CEZZARO? He actually beat FORCE OF NATURE's DOWN POUR, and
walked away with 18 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at CARDOW HUNTERS
while they watched LADYBUG clobber WHIRLWIND. He lost 12 points and got bruised from
objects thrown from the stands. Har har har! Did YEAR OF THE CAT wimp out, or just
get lazy? Anyway, he's not Duelmaster anymore. I'm sure LAPUR is excited about
ACCO, the new Duelmaster from CROC FILES. (remember?) But when you've seen as many
as I have... 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. The most avoided team was
FORCE OF NATURE. In my day, no team with a 152-180-11 would scare me off! What's
the problem, BLACK SAMURAI? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged
warrior, TIGER LILY! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? ASTRIAL of VENUSIANS got 11 points for removing another young
punk. Tough luck, FORCE OF NATURE! How long have I been here? I got people to see,
places to go...
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. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Amie -- Well, if you were a male croc, I'd rip you into thongs and jerky, but I can
understand and sympathize with another woman trying to make a home for her cubs. Go
and fight other people. -- Tiger Lily
P.S. Eat 'em, if you want.
Weipa -- Ah. Uncle Wolf, or rather his representative, since I have no idea where HE
is right now, told me I would get better with practice. I didn't really believe
that, you know? But it seems like this might be the case after all! -- Cezzaro the
pleasantly surprised
Juniban -- Wow, what a good student! -- Snowshoe
P.S. I didn't know I had all that to teach.
Astrial -- I bet we could make a really hot duet down at the club. People would
throw money at our feet! Want to try it? -- Ladybug
Storm Front -- And we're glad to see you here. -- Cardow Hunters
Ursa -- After you split your second, then what do you do? Some people just glue them
back together, of course, but that's so unimaginative! I like to put bacon, sharp
cheddar, and a slice of fresh tomato between mine. -- Tiger Lily
P.S. And then eat them.
Venus -- And we're glad to see you, also. -- Cardow Hunters
26 May 2006
The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe

Our newest Dark Knight disrespected?!?!?! ARE THEY SERIOUS?!?! If at all possible,
let's get over to 31. I'm on the way. Let's get 'em. -- Dark Knight Osiris
