SPY REPORT
Much has changed in JADE MOUNTAIN since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf
Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with
MANNEQUIN? He actually beat JADE MOUNTAIN's MING-CHANG THE SLY, and walked away with
11 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at SAND DANCERS while they watched
BEARSTONE KAI clobber FALCONIER. He lost 9 points and got bruised from objects
thrown from the stands. SERNILLAN was reminded on the sands why DARQUE is
Duelmaster. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team
was SAND DANCERS. The bums at MANAGER MUSINGS couldn't face the challenges from SAND
DANCERS! No excuse for that! What do people see in SERNILLAN? Hers 17-37-1? SAND
DANCERS ain't talkin', but she's got 102 points.
Warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN unite. You have only your games to lose! 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.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Final note on Darque.... His faves were Mod/Low/Maul. Lucked into his second
expert, finishing with exp Att and Dec. -- FTF Manager
Darque -- I don't know where you left that death blow you were seeking, but I'm glad
you didn't find it. I never wanted to see it up close. -- Sernillan
Ah, standbys. -- Jaginru
Indeed. -- Jade Belle
Well, up to a point. -- Korto Lu
Falconier -- Um, wasn't that supposed to go the other way? Did I get something
wrong? I could've sworn I was supposed to win it. -- Bearstone Kai
Our congratulations to Darque. -- Jorja and the Sand Dancers
Garth -- None of the generals would volunteer. In fact, they couldn't catch any of
them by any kind of trick or pursuit. Generals always have the best horses, you
know. -- Captain Mondinor
Darque -- It was a faked death. The Infirmarians have their orders. -- Ming-Chang

CALLING ALL THUGS, BRUTES, OGRES, QUARTER HALF WITS, SHALLOW HALBERD ENTHUSIASTS AND
MAUL RATS: Since the Bashing style has often been maligned in the forums, it is time
to give the style a little tough love with the following concept: An ALL-BASHER
arena. The rules are simple--enter the arena as a rookie basher. That's it. RSI
said I need to get 20 managers on board and I'm about half way there. If you are
interested in taking part, PM me in the forums or email me: chase at accesspr.com
and put D2 in the subject header.
Chase a.k.a. SwineTiger
2 February 2008
ATTENTION EVERYONE -- In March I am going to do manager lists for all arenas. This
is part of my ongoing and undoubtedly largely futile attempt to get my lists
organized. If you think I might not know who you are or if you think I might and
you'd rather I not share that information, let me know this month! You can e-mail
me at Sue at solberg dash mathews dot com (replacing the at, dash and dot with
appropriate characters. You can send a diplo to The Saint. You can put an ad in
the newsletter. Semaphore doesn't work so well, nor does telepathy. -- The Saint,
keeper of lists
