                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome KATI-TEI.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Bein' on top is great 
while it lasts, DA DOG POWNDAZ.  But how many friends do you have now?  What's with 
THE HAND OF DOG?  He actually beat WANDERERS' SAMARA, and walked away with 23 more 
points from the fight.  Major screwup at WANDERERS.  SAMARA lost 14 points to THE 
HAND OF DOG.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe SAMARA will provide more easy 
wins...  What a role model for KATI-TEI's young 'uns!  THE WAIT becomes Duelmaster, 
but don't bother to fight no more!  I'm sure KATI-TEI is excited about FIREHYDRANT 
DEFILER, the new Duelmaster from DA DOG POWNDAZ.  (remember?)  But when you've seen 
as many as I have...  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.  KATI-TEI thinks THE PLAGUE 
and their 388-344-24 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, give up...  The 
bums at DA DOG POWNDAZ couldn't face the challenges from THE PLAGUE!  No excuse for 
that!  What do people see in ENGLISH BULLDOG?  His 5-2-0?  DA DOG POWNDAZ ain't 
talkin', but he's got 47 points.  Maybe DA DOG POWNDAZ's FIREHYDRANT DEFILER is one 
of those guys who likes pain, or something.  That's what he'll get next week, after 
challenging up 34 to GRIMM LURCHER.  FIREHYDRANT DEFILER did pretty good last week in 
beating GRIMM LURCHER to get 24 points.  Why did GRIMM LURCHER lose, you ask?  
Simple:  he wasn't good enough.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Here's some advice:  study your opponent, master 
many skills, fight dirty.   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

All -- I am getting together as many Duelmaster players as possible to play in a game
of Hyborian War as a change of pace.  We already have 17 players that are interested
and we are trying to get as many as possible involved before I submit the list to
RSI.  I am collecting the names and top 3 kingdoms that the players are interested in

and submitting it myself so we can all play in the same game.  If you are interested
PM me in the DuelII Forums at Tripwire or email me at azaer123@comcast.net. --

Balin Chane -- Apologies for picking on you, but this is a small arena and not a lot
of opponents to chose from!  Congrats on your invite... I'll be missing you! -- Devil
Dog

Marlin Reeve -- I think they heard me yelling in Sunset during that fight! -- Old
Yeller

Wrolling Thunder -- I defiled your little drip drip of a grey cloud! -- Firehydrant
Defiler

Tore Naydo -- A mere passing wind... likely coming from my hind parts! -- English
Bulldog

N'kai -- Well done, young padwa. -- The Hand of Dog

Firehydrant Defiler -- You took a page out of my playbook.  Nicely done! -- Wrolling
Thunder

English Bulldog -- I thought your breed was supposed to be slow and plodding!
Sheesh! -- Tore Naydo

Way of the Wicked -- Now that's a fight!  Nice back and forth and good skills for the
both of us. -- Funnel Klowd

Stray Cat -- Glad you didn't give me a hairball! -- Whyte Squall

Devil Dog -- So you won, ask me if I care!  Must've been the political points.
Anyway, thanks. -- Balin Chane

Old Yeller -- Okay, peroxide isn't what you need.  Hmm.  I've heard that some blondes
rinse their hair with chamomile tea to brighten it.  Care to try it?  Better than
DRINKING the stuff. -- Marlin Reeve

Red Tentacle -- Gah! -- Samara
P.S.  Really, tentacles?  No way.  Can't stand 'em.

The Wait... and wait... and wait.  Drat.  I like a faster fight. -- Grimm Lurcher

Whyte Squall -- A mixed blessing, this fight.  I note with relief that THIS time, the
Commission properly identified me, but then I ran into a white-out and got lost.  Oh,
well, at least I have a fur coat. -- Stray Cat

We salute the tourney participants.  It must have been a jungle out there, nobody
seems to do well.  But at least a lot of people did, if not well, with determination.
