                                      SPY REPORT

     Much has changed in ROCANIS since last I was here.  Never fear, Olaf Modeen 
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters.  Bein' on top is great 
while it lasts, BAD APPLES.  But how many friends do you have now?  Up 'n down.  Up 
'n down.  Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna be...  Well, 
REDHORSE's 5th moved them up to 1-0-0 place.  It seems so recently people were saying 
DARK TOWER was washed up, finished.  But 5-0-0 moved them up 2.  I guess they're 
washed no more...  What's with CAT'S TOOTH?  He actually beat BAD APPLES' JAILBAIT, 
and walked away with 12 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at BAD APPLES 
while they watched BLACK CAT clobber SLICE CONSTRUCT.  It lost 5 points and got 
bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  Try as he might, RIRORNI SPY wasn't 
good enough at persuading NO to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  Advice to 
fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  How well I know the feeling 
of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, MEN OF STEEL!  The 
bums at SONG OF ILUVATAR couldn't face the challenges from MEN OF STEEL!  No excuse 
for that!  How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, MANWE 
SULIMO!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.  Fighting is a 
better craft than farming, BABE, but you have to pay your dues.  Being challenged by 
MELKOR, 22 points above you, is dues.  MELKOR's gonna be practicin' hard this week, 
after BABE, lower ranked by far, mashed him!  I hate going to the effort of writing 
about the kind of fights that ANCALAGON gets in.  He fights people like MANWE SULIMO, 
15 points below.  I thought ANCALAGON showed great skill and promise when he won 
victory over MANWE SULIMO.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Warriors of ROCANIS unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Some people in 
ROCANIS think ANYWAYUSLICEIT was too harsh when they sent SLICE DOT COM (2-0-0) to 
the Dark Arena.  Them's the breaks, I say.  Many a warrior has met his fate in a 
hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     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!  I don't want 
to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Slugger -- Your second performance was better, I have to say, than your first.  That 
goes without saying.  Luckily, my PR guy said that interest would be piqued by your 
comeback victory, and that I could improve my popularity by settling the score.  So, 
at our third bout, my fans were out in force and very vocal.  It was their support 
that was your undoing; I always play to the crowd. -- Refreshing Slice, crowd favorite

Abe -- Ugh, I feel our score is settled.  Ugh, I do not wish to try your mettle again.  
Only for DM throne, ugh. -- Slice Construct

Aule Flamebringer -- You kids crack me up.  I suppose you thought that because of my 
arena record I would be an easy mark?  I have to tell you, the Arenamaster here must 
have a crush on me because he keeps stopping my fights just as I'm about to engineer 
an amazing comeback.  I've changed my strategy now: I take the fight right to you.  
That way, no outside force can hurt me. -- Wicked Slice, tired of losing

Wanted -- 2 warriors.  WT/WL 17+.  No experience needed.

Hey Mega!  What do you think that ad up there means?  We've already GOT a full team!

Doomcorps Pride -- Ultraist?  Is that you? -- Ben Doolin, mgr. AnyWayUSliceIt

Anyone wishing to exchange warrior info, or just talk about Duelmasters, can contact 
me at 'dgcleary@earthlink.net' -- Ben Doolin

Refreshing Slice -- Well, *I* didn't find that refreshing, dammit. -- Slugger

No -- Why not? -- Drimpo

Dolgan -- Are you really steely, you big handsome thing? -- Black Cat

Tomas -- How come I draw the Dwarf?  What did I do to deserve that? -- Jailbait

Jailbait -- Don't ask. -- Cat

     Everyone now knows that DM-33 is one of the "Fiercest & Best Free Blades Arena" 
around.  The Hammer and others have done wonderful things for that arena.  With 50 or 
so teams, DM-33 is fun, challenging and a joy to play in.  However, I am not here to 
talk about DM-33.  I want to talk to you about DM-43, Veastian.
     DM-43 is not a large arena, we have only 8 teams here right now.  It is small, 
and not the greatest arena around...yet.  We need YOU to help make this a great 
arena.  Since it's so small, this is your chance to get in on the ground floor and 
become a cornerstone of this arena.  Not many have this chance.  DM-33 is great, but 
it is crowded.  Here in DM-43 you will not be one of the many, you will be one of the 
best.  For all of you Noblish Island managers, this is your chance to transfer your 
team to an arena where you will have an immediate impact on the game.  This is an 
arena where you can continue to hone your skills and be a contender for the 
Duelmastership.  Veteran managers...do you want to make Duelmasters the best it can 
be?  Help newbies and make an arena of your own?
     This is a wonderful chance for everyone.  For the newer players to make a 
serious impact on an arena and veteran players to be a "founder" of an arena.  
Managers like Don John, Mutt Lange, The Rake and myself want you to help make DM-43 
the best arena out there.  We don't want just "anyone" to come here, we want managers 
who want to play hard and have fun.  If that is you, then come to DM-43, Veastian.
     If anyone has any questions at all, please diplo me and I will reply as soon as 
possible.  Now is your chance, now is the time.  DM-43. -- Apollo Maximillious, mgr. 
Cult of the Dragon (339), DM-43

All -- By Seefe's name, am I tired of looking at such team names as Inyo Eye and 
Eggnog Warriors.  Please, in the name of all that is decent on the face of Ghea, give 
your teams and fighters APPROPRIATE names!!  I know it can be challenging and 
demanding to make up TRULY GOOD names like Boneshredders and Aerie Fire, but please, 
don't call your guys something that causes me to dirge in disgust!!  It really hurts 
your (and my) gaming experience when my warriors have to stand against someone named 
"Underwear Gnomes".  After all, I can come up with ten names like Bust-a-Plumber and 
Chococroc in a single minute, but why don't I do it? -- Shadowfire, mgr. of 
Dragonslayers (636) in Solven (DM 22)
