SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to FRATSFA once again! Hmmmph! I always thought ISN'T IT OBVIOUS
was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-0-0! What's with FOG? It
actually beat OTTO'S PARTS' MASSIVE MIGRAINE, and walked away with 29 more points
from the fight. Laughs were big at INCARNATIONS while they watched APOPHIS clobber
RAIN. She lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. I can
barely restrain my enthusiam for OTTO'S PARTS' outstanding member, Duelmaster RUNNY
NOSE. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was WEATHER. In my day, no team with a 42-29-1 would scare me off!
What's the problem, IRON CATHEDRAL? What do people see in SLEET? His 12-3-0?
WEATHER ain't talkin', but he's got 110 points. Keep challenging up 27 points, MIST,
and I won't have to write about you much longer. MERLIN always accepts those kind of
challenges... I don't get it. MIST goes and challenges MERLIN, way above her, but
gets 4 points after she loses! Is this a new strategy?
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to
go...
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. 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

NEW NOVEL: "BLOOD GAMES"
Hail Gladiatorial Managers of Alastari,
My name is Mark G. Manley, AKA Grimwood, author of the Duel 2 novel, "Dark
Arena." The RSI staff and I are pleased to announce the next novel in the Duel 2
reality, "Blood Games." A publisher has offered a contract to publish the novel and
I'll continue to provide detailed updates as they become available. However, I wanted
to share a quick blurb about the novel.
* * *
WAR!
The land of Alastari is thrown into chaos caused by the invasion of the Rirorni
horde. Swept up in the conflict and captured is My-re, a young girl living on the
edge of the Rirorni plains. Regarded as a spoil of war and growing up in a Rirorni
family band, her troubles just begin as warlords within the Rirorni Empire fight each
other for prestige, property, and personal honor. For mutual protection, My-re is
taught the family band's Wall of Steel combat style, where if executed correctly, no
blade, no weapon, no arrow can penetrate.
In a land where life is dangerous, brutal, and short, My-re is confronted by a
prominent Rirorni warrior and kills him in self-defense. She is sold to a Rirorni
slaver after being found guilty of murder, and exiled back to her native land of
Alastari. However, there is no happy reunion, no joyful return, as she is sentenced
to fight in the Blood Games arena for her crime.
My-re's one chance of freedom resides in winning the Blood Game tournament. But
the champion is not declared by besting your opponents, but by slaughtering them.
* * *
As with novel "Dark Arena," I worked with RSI to write and publish "Blood Games"
in the Duel 2 world of Alastari. But it will always be known as Duelmasters to me.
I wanted to share a little bit of background about myself, I started my first
team back on turn 12 in Niania (Arena #2) on February 13, 1990. I managed a team
called Wolverines. The next summer at Gen Con, I started my main team, Skull Squadron
in Rocanis (Arena #56). The following summer at Gen Con, I stared Legion of Death, in
Valamantis (Arena #62). Twenty-five years later, I've graduated numerous warriors,
which would not be an easy feat to count.
Good luck on the arena sands and more to come.
