                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome NIATOLI ISLAND.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the 
fights have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with 
SOCIETY RED?  He actually beat RAVAGING LORDS' THE CRIPPLER, and walked away with 15 
more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at JAILBIRDS while they watched RADINSKI 
clobber DUCK CREEK HAMMER.  He lost 10 points and got bruised from objects thrown 
from the stands.  What a role model for NIATOLI ISLAND's young 'uns!  THE ANVIL 
becomes Duelmaster, but don't bother to fight no more!  I can barely restrain my 
enthusiam for JAILBIRDS' outstanding member, Duelmaster SOCIETY RED.  I suppose you 
want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  What do people see in 
ACE HEARTS HAMMER?  Hers 9-1-0?  KLKASINO HAMMERZ ain't talkin', but she's got 41 
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!   
     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.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

9 July 2007
I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately.  If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good.  So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet).  If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos.  We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S.  If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
