SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of ERINIKA! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Bein' on top is great while it
lasts, CALENDAR GIRLS. But how many friends do you have now? Hmmmph! I always
thought DUDS was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 1-2-0! Ya gotta be
quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain!
POOR COMBINATIONS is now ranked 7th with a 1-0-1 turn. What's with MARTHA STEWART?
She actually beat GASHOUSE GANG's HEYWARD, and walked away with 15 more points from
the fight. Laughs were big at CALENDAR GIRLS while they watched JANUARY JONES
clobber KLEPTO MAN. He lost 1 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the
stands. ERINIKA has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. It Dark Arena
Challenged DARK ARENA's FRELEN (0-0-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting.
FRELEN was reminded on the sands why LAND-MINE HOPSCOTCH is Duelmaster. Advice to
fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
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, WRATHMEN 2!
The bums at WORLDWIDE GORE couldn't face the challenges from WRATHMEN 2! No excuse
for that! Fighting is a better craft than farming, WACHA, but you have to pay your
dues. Being challenged by BAG LADY, 16 points above you, is dues. BAG LADY defeated
WACHA. DUDS calls this fighting? In my day...
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Who will dare fight LAND-MINE HOPSCOTCH, after it returned
from the Dark Arena? (For the record 17-2-2 is 133, and has it points) Many a
warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? 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. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

For your Yuletide bloodletting pleasure, sung to the tune of "Winter Wonderland."
Slay bells ring, are ya listenin'?
Beneath the moon, blood is glistenin'!
A grisly sight, we're happy tonight,
Watchin' all the Dark Arena fights!
In the daytime we can catch the action,
as the Duelmaster defends his crown!
All the criticals and bloody drama,
and if you're nasty you can challenge down!
Later on, by tavern fire,
managers, they'll conspire,
to face unafraid, the challenges made,
Duelin' in that Alastari land!
Wishing all good D2 managers a Happy Holidays!
