It's been many moons since the Elder Gods have ascended to the throne in mighty Osksi. And here I sit, the least likely. The most...cerebral. The most serene. The omens are clear... I have more to overcome before I ascend to immortality and the beyond. No doubt other will come. My blade is sharp; my wits are ready. I accept my fate. Mestad!! -- Isis, your Duelmistress SPY REPORT Greetings, warriors of OSKSI! Once again I've been called out of retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Woof! ROCK BOTTOM were a bunch of dogs after OLDTIMERS got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st! Hmmmph! I always thought THE BLUES 3 was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-0-0! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, OLDTIMERS' 1st moved them up to 5-0-0 place. What's with FIRING SQUAD? He actually beat VALLEY OF KINGS' PHARAOH, and walked away with 28 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at RENEGADES! while they watched ANGEL clobber LADY SCARLET. She lost 14 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Try as he might, BLACK DIAMOND wasn't good enough at persuading ISIS 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. The most avoided team was VALLEY OF KINGS. Management must be dealin', as the boys at OLDTIMERS ain't reelin'! VALLEY OF KINGS' mad! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, ELECTRIC SOUL! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Maybe OLDTIMERS' OUTHOUSE is one of those beasts who likes pain, or something. That's what it'll get next week, after challenging up 26 to ELECTRIC SOUL. OUTHOUSE did pretty good last week in beating ELECTRIC SOUL to get 23 points. Why did ELECTRIC SOUL lose, you ask? Simple: she wasn't good enough. Fighting is a better craft than farming, LUCIFER, but you have to pay your dues. Being challenged by TYPEWRITER, 22 points above you, is dues. TYPEWRITER subdued LUCIFER. OLDTIMERS calls this fighting? In my day... ANDROID didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from FROTHY TANKARD of MY FAVORITE INN, who is 20 points below him. FROTHY TANKARD perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was subdued by ANDROID and ended up with 6 recognition points. There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? PHARAOH of VALLEY OF KINGS didn't know when to quit. When you've got a 16-12-0, that's a good sign. Now he's dead. How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go... Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf. Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.
