SPY REPORT
Much has changed in SNOWBOUND since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. OPEN SESAME showed
SNOWBOUND what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with
4-1-0. What's with EVALON ELKHORN? He actually beat OPEN SESAME's ON MY WAY, and
walked away with 28 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at OPEN SESAME while
they watched TRASH CAN clobber CANTEX. It lost 14 points and got bruised from
objects thrown from the stands. I'm sure SNOWBOUND is excited about SWEET AIR, the
new Duelmaster from OPEN SESAME. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I
have... I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow
fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, DARQUE FORCES II! Management must be dealin', as the boys at OPEN SESAME
ain't reelin'! DARQUE FORCES II's mad! How well I know the feeling of being the
most challenged warrior, GOBERT HINNY! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to
haunt you. Keep challenging up 26 points, EXTRUSION, and I won't have to write about
you much longer. GOBERT HINNY always accepts those kind of challenges... EXTRUSION
subdued GOBERT HINNY (EXTRUSION getting 18 points, too!)--Ooh baby! Now dat I likes!
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.
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
SNOWBOUND is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Time for
my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Gobert -- No problem. It was my pleasure smashing your face. It wasn't too pretty
in the first place. Looks better, by far, now. -- Cantex (the nasty little golem)
Gerrick Grimm -- Congratulations on your DM Title. Salute. -- Coach, Life Impacts
Kirla Lorvin -- Not getting the connection?! NOT getting the connection?! From a
Life Impacts standpoint, if one "grew up" in Southern Indiana, "hoops" (re:
basketball to you) had a very, very significant impact. Have you ever seen the movie
"Hoosiers"? A true story it is. The boss, old man that he is, grew up in that area
and that era and played many of the similar school teams that Hickory (real team was
Milan, IN) did. -- Coach
P.S. Hence, the warrior name "Hoops" fits Life Impacts well.
Evalon Elkhorn -- It was clearly my day. All mine. -- Cantex
Cass Dolan -- How could you defeat Hoops? Why, that is un-American--or something
like that. Well, what the heck--well done. -- Coach
Ambitious Guard -- You need to get a little more ambitious. A lazy mind (and body)
is the devil's workshop. -- Mrs. Vaughn
Winged Death -- I didn't "overcome" you, as the newsletter says, rather, I molded you
to my liking. (wink) -- Extrusion
Petra -- Goooooooooooooooooooooo Bulldogs!!!!!!!!!!! -- C.H.S.
Hoops -- Hoops? Hula hoops? Basketball hoops? Hoop skirts? This is not a clear
concept. Work on it. -- Cass Dolan
Domjon -- Ah. It's you. Hoop-ee. -- Gobert Hinny
C.H.S. -- Chandler High School? How did they do on their homecoming game? -- Petra
Quord
Sojourn to Sarnath -- Listen, if I wanted to nearly die in Sarnath, I'd've planned
for it! This takes me so much by surprise. Good thing the Infirmarian knows what
she's doing. -- Inglemort Juls
An Embezzling Scribe is pathetic. He wasn't supposed to get CAUGHT, you know. Maybe
if he hadn't kept his second set of books right THERE in the same ledger, in red
ink.... Just plain dumb. -- Kirla Lorvin
