SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of NIATOLI ISLAND! Once again I've been called out of
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Biff! Pow! NIATOLI
ISLAND watched with glee as SACKETT'S & CO. got knocked off top spot by
PHILANTHROPISTS! NIATOLI ISLAND's got someone new to push around. C'mon everyone,
challenge D.S.M.V.. Let's see how long they last. What's with TRISKADECAPHOBIAC?
He actually beat NIATOLI ISLAND's PERSISTENT BEGGAR, and walked away with 15 more
points from the fight. Major screwup at OBSIDIAN HALL. SPRYTE lost 11 points to
THIMBELL. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe SPRYTE will provide more easy wins...
Apparently NIATOLI ISLAND isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I thought.
The Dreaded Duelmaster got 4 challenges this turn! OBSIDIAN HALL's hatred of DARK
TOADS II surfaced again as DIGITALIS challenged NIATOLI ISLAND's top dog. DIGITALIS
was reminded on the sands why LIONESS is Duelmaster. 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. NIATOLI ISLAND thinks
PHILANTHROPISTS and their 17-6-1 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give
up... In my day, no team with a 15-6-1 would scare me off! What's the problem,
TURKEY DAY CARNAGE? IRINKESTA didn't quite know what to make of a challenge she
received from SPROUTS SURPRISE of TURKEY DAY CARNAGE, who is 23 points below her.
SPROUTS SURPRISE perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he beat IRINKESTA and ended
up with 59 recognition points.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? 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? 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

Barnabas -- Here I am in an internet cafe on my favorite island in the Philippines
and you are trying to entice me back to Niytyole Island? -- Hammer
Lonigan -- Why should I care about the opinions of someone who considers it his
life's work to chase cows? -- Thimbell
Thinker -- You're not doing anyone a favor with that. -- Irinkesta
Philabuster -- It isn't working. Every time I turn around, there's another phila for
you to bust. -- Rintirisse
Saddle Sore -- Naturally you lost. Coming into the arena in that condition is a big
mistake. -- Korienelle
Ed. -- Not even coleslaw? -- Rintirisse
I'm not sure what coleslaw is, but it's too yucky to be a salad. -- Ed.
Darkheart -- Guess, guess what, I could care less! -- Barnabas
Darkheart -- Your arena, well that explains it. -- Barnabas
RUG -- Thank you roll up gods for The Kids replacement, things just keep getting
better. -- Barnabas

Barnabas
Clinch -- They tell me you left home because you didn't like the land there. Well,
fine. The land here is no better, and it isn't available anyway. -- Barango,

To all those lookin' for some easy pickins: I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship,
the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs
and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and
help me clear up some of the dust. I'm just about ready to have my guys face off
against each other to get some new action. Guess I'd better join a tournament or
something...hmmmm, there's a thought.

All -- I've seen what's on the forum. So I'm prey, am I, Max. You and all your
devious buddies will become my prey, even those I thought okay. I don't have to
explain anything I do, much like yourselves so bring it on. Feel free to come over
to 31 for a thrashing. Oh, by the way, I am also in a new alliance. They tend to
share my sentiments about the VC. If they follow me or not, we will see; I'm not at
liberty to talk for them. The VC may be on their last stand!!!! -- Blackstorm
