SPY REPORT
Welcome XOCHITHLAN. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Biff! Pow!
XOCHITHLAN watched with glee as BASH BROS BABY got knocked off top spot by FAR
TRAVELERS! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think
I'm gonna be... Well, TROLLHEIM's 3rd moved them up to 2-3-0 place. FAR TRAVELERS
showed XOCHITHLAN what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off
with 3-0-0. What's with DRUG MOM? She actually beat THE MIDDLE WAY's YENTAL ZEEVE,
and walked away with 23 more points from the fight. Major screwup at TROLLHEIM.
STONE ED lost 7 points to ANCHOR. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe STONE ED will
provide more easy wins... Apparently XOCHITHLAN isn't filled with as many gutless
wonders as I thought. The Dreaded Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn! Try as he
might, CRYING wasn't good enough at persuading FORTIFIED to step down from the
Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, TROLLHEIM!
The bums at BASH BROS BABY couldn't face the challenges from TROLLHEIM! No excuse
for that!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You
young rapscallions, take note!
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
