SPY REPORT
Welcome RODEKI. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... RODEKI's got someone new to
push around. C'mon everyone, challenge HONORGUARD. Let's see how long they last.
What's with FOUR OF SPADES? He actually beat DELVERS' LA CHISELLE, and walked away
with 19 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at WHAT A TEAM! while they
watched BOB THE IMPALER clobber KANGAROO LIFEBOAT. He lost 7 points and got bruised
from objects thrown from the stands. Apparently RODEKI isn't filled with as many
gutless wonders as I thought. The Dreaded Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn!
Another fighter (FRANKENBUTT 20-12-1) challenged another Duelmaster (RED SKELTON
23-16-0). Life goes on. FRANKENBUTT was reminded on the sands why RED SKELTON is
Duelmaster. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
WIND STORM. The bums at COLOR ME SUAVE couldn't face the challenges from WIND STORM!
No excuse for that!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? We all knew it had to happen sooner or later. A warrior can't
stick around with a 8-11-1, and FOUR OF SPADES easily took care of LA CHISELLE. Is
it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so
gloriously!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
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

PERSONAL ADS
Bob the cursed Impaler -- It really bugs me to be impaled by you. It's an offense
against something-or-other. Still, you do it well. I grudgingly salute you. --
Handsome Does
Frankenbutt -- What I want to know is, why don't you belong to the All Ugly Team in
Tricorus? Granted, Tricorus is a hole and nobody goes there who doesn't have to, but
you would be a NATURAL for that team. -- La Chiselle
Four of Spades -- I can't prove you had that card up your sleeve, but I have my
suspicions, and one of these days I WILL be able to prove it. -- Rockjaw
Jockstrap Jones -- Itching powder, that's what is needed for you. -- Fredibar
Red Skelton -- Our congratulations. -- all the Delvers
Lord Protector Red Skelton -- Congratulations.
Unless Keldon Warlord, or some subsequent graduate such as The Mole, picks the
Dirty Sock Mine, you have a chance at a share of that. Even if he picks the war, you
can get in on that, plenty of fighting for all.
Or, of course, you can receive the gift of a free ticket on the Shuttle.
Your choice. -- Torba Val, Arena Manager

Just a reminder to all you online type people. It is much appreciated if you send
your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his
infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal
ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text
option, let it be your friend. -- Ed.
P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but
sometimes.
