SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to SHADOWSPIRE once again! Woof! LITERATE LOONS were a bunch of
dogs after NBA LEGENDS got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st! Hmmmph! I
always thought HEROES & VILLAINS was an over-rated team and they proved it with a
1-4-0! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust!
Block out the pain! PLUM ISLAND SKEETERS is now ranked 7th with a 3-2-0 turn. Some
people say I ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I
ramble. Well MIRKWOOD ORCS moved up 4, to 3rd. What's with XIQUEEL? She actually
beat WICKED MARTYRS' SPEKT, and walked away with 16 more points from the fight.
Major screwup at PRAY THE GODS. RECLAN lost 15 points to TRACI. Some new
strategies, perhaps? Maybe RECLAN will provide more easy wins... I'm sure
SHADOWSPIRE is excited about RAYMOND CARVER, the new Duelmaster from LITERATE LOONS.
(remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... 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, MIRKWOOD
ORCS! In my day, no team with a 182-133-9 would scare me off! What's the problem,
CLAN LONGBEARD? What do people see in SPEKT? His 18-30-0? WICKED MARTYRS ain't
talkin', but he's got 84 points. Keep challenging up 33 points, CLYDE THE GLIDE, and
I won't have to write about you much longer. SNIDELY WHIPLASH always accepts those
kind of challenges... CLYDE THE GLIDE did pretty good last week in beating SNIDELY
WHIPLASH to get 26 points. Why did SNIDELY WHIPLASH lose, you ask? Simple: he
wasn't good enough. LAUDINA didn't quite know what to make of a challenge she
received from ZORRO of HEROES & VILLAINS, who is 18 points below her. ZORRO perhaps
got his just desserts, seeing as he lost to LAUDINA and ended up with 77 recognition
points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Hmm... More surprises must remain in store for me,
if HAKEEM can return from the Dark Arena. Some people in SHADOWSPIRE think CLAN
LONGBEARD was too harsh when they sent HEDGE (3-1-1) to the Dark Arena. Them's the
breaks, I say. BUBONIC, with his forgettable 4-8-0, was dispatched by ANTONITUS in
a forgettable match. DARQUE AGES didn't seem to mind very much. 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
