SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to XOCHITHLAN once again! What's with LIFE CHANGES? He actually
beat BIONIC MAN's LASIC SURGERY, and walked away with 13 more points from the fight.
Laughs were big at BASH BROS BABY while they watched LIFE CHANGES clobber LASIC
SURGERY. He lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. I
can barely restrain my enthusiam for BASH BROS BABY's outstanding member, Duelmaster
SICKNESS. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some
team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... XOCHITHLAN thinks BASH
BROS BABY and their 183-134-8 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up...
In my day, no team with a 179-133-8 would scare me off! What's the problem, DUCKS
UNLIMITED? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, APPLE
BLOSSOM! 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? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills,
fight dirty.
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? The
end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Oz over in North Fork asked me to remind all you DM39 super-dooper managers to make
sure to sign up for the TW12. (Turf Wars! You will be glad you did. -- Smitty
P.S. Even the less than super-doopers should sign up!
Now wait a minute, Jorja; Consortiumites aren't the only ones with longer DM columns.
Have you ever read one of Hammer's? -- Smitty
Life Changes, I was going to make a sort-of professional comment, but Smitty was
directed by The Consortium to make me say Bwahahahahahahaha! -- Right Hip (3)
Donald Duck, perhaps this means you are nothing but a little quacker? -- Mitral Valve
Zoe Albeta, I don't think that was a very nice challenge from me. It is all Smitty's
fault. I am glad, though, that I won. -- Implants
P.S. No not THOSE kind of implants!
May you all be safe during this year of pandemic difficulties and senseless rioting.
Let's make those operating rooms extinct! -- Smitty
Announcing the Lapurian Festival of the 900. Over the past 34+ years many legendary

Just a note:
Our DM writers (both staff and players) put quite a bit of effort into writing content
for the newsletters: spy reports, spotlights, and personal ads; fiction and non-
fiction. If you enjoy these, if you want more, or even if they make you laugh, it
would be kind if you could drop a personal ad or even send them a note.
Assur and Consortium, especially, put tremendous effort in Noblish Island, writing new
content and tweaking/correcting older content to help new players learn the game.
A special shoutout should also go to our varied human spy reporters in the ADM arenas,
Seam, Chimlevtal, Shadowspire, Telorinthe, and occasionallly contest arenas.
Kudos and thank you to all of our writers! I'm sure we don't thank you enough.

MINI SPOTS
The short spotlights that Jorja has been writing were intended to be amusing but also
possibly to provide a jumping-off point for further fiction. If you're interested in
collaborating with a story, please contact her -- or just write it! (Let CSR know if
you need her email address.)
