SPY REPORT
Much has changed in TRICORUS since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Bein' on top is great
while it lasts, ALL-UGLY TEAM. But how many friends do you have now? What's with
MARGALH? He actually beat TRICORUS' CAPTURED ORC, and walked away with 18 more
points from the fight. Laughs were big at DARK HORSEMEN while they watched ZALGEI
clobber SAM CASSELL. He lost 5 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the
stands. TRICORUS has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. He challenged
FRUITS' GRAPE (13-13-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting. GRAPE was reminded
on the sands why WILLIE MCGEE is Duelmaster. 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... How well I know the
feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, WHOLE FOODS!
The bums at ALL-UGLY TEAM couldn't face the challenges from WHOLE FOODS! No excuse
for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, GRAPE!
Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
Warriors of TRICORUS unite. You have only your games to lose! Sending a
warrior to the Dark Arena reminds the others they'd better shape up. Tough beans,
SEIJURO. That's what a 10-7-1 gets you. So RONIN sent SENSEI to the Dark Arena.
Big deal. Plenty more fighters where SENSEI came from. Dime a dozen... Now,
Spyreporters... Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To
die so young, so gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end
of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! I don't want to
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Willie McGee -- I'd like to say that I "gave" you that win so you could hold the
title rightfully, but the fact is that you defeated me fair and square, or at least
sort of rectangular. -- Delange
P.S. It feels strange not to be already thinking about next cycle's fight.
P.P.S. You aren't actually THAT ugly, not when I've had these months to get used to
seeing you around. And you're tall. That counts.
Mark Messier -- What would happen if you changed your name to Mark Neater? Would you
suddenly find yourself moved onto another team? Would this be good? Who knows? --
Zalgei, feeling shallowly philosophical, which probably signifies something, but who
knows what, eh?
Sam Cassell -- Of course I didn't "steal my daddy's armor"! The very IDEA! --
Margalh
P.S. It wouldn't fit. I'm taller than he is.
Tofurkey -- Now, THAT is ugly. -- Galbei
P.S. Totally put me off my feed. Just as well, considering what we had for dinner,
but it's the principle of the thing.
Arenamaster Rahj -- Does that mean I can take YOUR lands? It isn't like you were
DOING anything with them, after all. -- Delange

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.
