     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to ARVAT once again!  Woof!  DEATH BY DESIGN were a bunch of dogs 
after HELL'S HEROES got through with 'em!  3rd ain't so sweet as 1st!  What's with 
CALAMITY?  She actually beat BLACK MOON RISING's EMBERGLOW, and walked away with 20 
more points from the fight.  Major screwup at BLACK MOON RISING.  EMBERGLOW lost 15 
points to CALAMITY.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe EMBERGLOW will provide more 
easy wins...  HURLY BURLY was reminded on the sands why BUTTERFLY EFFECT is 
Duelmaster.  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...  The most avoided team 
was DEVIL ADVOCATES.  Management must be dealin', as the boys at DEVIL ADVOCATES 
ain't reelin'!  DEVIL ADVOCATES' mad!   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Here's some advice:  study your opponent, master 
many skills, fight dirty.   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  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.  Practice, 
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
