                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome JURINE.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Har har har!  Did MR SMITH 
wimp out, or just get lazy?  Anyway, he's not Duelmaster anymore.  I can barely 
restrain my enthusiam for MEDAL OF HONOR G10's outstanding member, Duelmaster 
SERGEANT 1.  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  JURINE thinks MEDAL OF HONOR 
G10 and their 98-56-8 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, give up...  In my 
day, no team with a 94-55-7 would scare me off!  What's the problem, HEARD ON CHATZY? 
What do people see in THE BOMB?  His 11-4-0?  HOWLIN 3-D ain't talkin', but he's got 
45 points.  THE BOMB didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from 
OPERA IS GREAT of HEARD ON CHATZY, who is 20 points below him.  OPERA IS GREAT 
perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he overcame THE BOMB and ended up with 63 
recognition points.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  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.  JURINE 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

                                    Just a note:

Our DM writers (both staff and players) put quite a bit of effort into writing content 
for the newsletters:  spy reports, spotlights, and personal ads; fiction and non-
fiction.  If you enjoy these, if you want more, or even if they make you laugh, it 
would be kind if you could drop a personal ad or even send them a note.  

Assur and Consortium, especially, put tremendous effort in Noblish Island, writing new 
content and tweaking/correcting older content to help new players learn the game.  

A special shoutout should also go to our varied human spy reporters in the ADM arenas, 
Seam, Chimlevtal, Shadowspire, Telorinthe, and occasionallly contest arenas.  

Kudos and thank you to all of our writers!  I'm sure we don't thank you enough.
