                             Notes from the arena champ.

Questions, questions??? How did I get to be Duelmistress? Pleasing (Well, he WAS 
flopped down on the arena floor.) Noble Assassin was easy. But? Why, why, why, didn't 
that obviously racial Commission not give me all 5 political points? Huh? What 
peasants they are!  I slithered my way to the top only to be skimped (I'm supposed to 
be the one around here that skimps!) of all that should have been mine. Sheesh! I have 
been chintzed!

Well come on down warriors; I'll show you all I've got! Bwahahaha.

                                       -- Strip Tease, a Duelmaster with a lot to show

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome TOBIR.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have I 
fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Biff!  Pow!  TOBIR watched 
with glee as ANYTHING GOES got knocked off top spot by THIS MODERN WORLD!  What's 
with SNEELY?  She actually beat SAGE SOLDIERS' CRPL MAX KLINGER, and walked away with 
20 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at THE DOGHOUSE while they watched 
SNEELY clobber CRPL MAX KLINGER.  He lost 16 points and got bruised from objects 
thrown from the stands.  Try as he might, COMMANDER POWLE wasn't good enough at 
persuading STRIP TEASE to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  Advice to 
fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  TOBIR 
thinks 2159 BOURBON ST and their 15-7-2 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, 
give up...  Management must be dealin', as the boys at SAGE SOLDIERS ain't reelin'!  
2159 BOURBON ST's mad!  What do people see in RACER?  His 19-6-0?  ANYTHING GOES 
ain't talkin', but he's got 88 points.   
     Warriors of TOBIR unite.  You have only your games to lose!  How long have I 
been here?  I got people to see, places to go...   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
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.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good 
skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
