Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with GOLDEN SHARK? He actually beat NIANIA's INSURANCE SALESMAN, and walked away with 12 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at NIANIA while they watched KUNG-FU MASTER clobber SPIKE MCGOLD. He lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. MELLISANDE was reminded on the sands why THE SHOCKER is Duelmaster. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! No matter the time or place, men will always duel. NIANIA thinks THE GOLDEN FISH and their 429-615-12 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... Management must be dealin', as the boys at INQUISITION SL5 ain't reelin'! THE GOLDEN FISH's mad! There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty. Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? 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. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS The Shocker -- No! Again you do it! I am so shocked! -- Mari Coy Scardy Cat -- So, you're leaving us. I can't say I'll miss you. Heck, I've already missed you. Repeatedly. Depressing. Maybe your replacement will be somebody I will NOT miss. A fruity thought, that. I look forward to it, anyway. -- Spike McGold, somewhat tarnished P.S. Your record is offensive. The Venomous Concubine? (pained look) She really IS venomous, you know--one of those swamp creatures. Horrid. Not really PEOPLE. It would be a mercy to all if she were put down. -- Golden Shark, aka Master Bigot Shocking -- Life is like that. Just one shock after another. There are times when I wonder how any of us stand it. -- Mellisande I didn't REALLY hiss at the Persistent Beggar, and I would never have called him my CHILD. Or anybody's, although I suppose he must have been at some point. I just wanted him to shut up and keep his hands to himself. -- Maretha Golden Shark -- You are pitiful. You have the morals of your namesake, but not the predatory skill. You are PREY. -- Seef Haraine, "Venomous Concubine" Maretha -- Do you think this is an easy job, woman? I have to spend thirteen days begging, then the fourteenth standing around the arena waiting to see if someone will beat me up. I have to do this without PRACTICE. It is grossly unfair. -- Ressero, Persistent Beggar P.S. And no, I canNOT spend any of those other days practicing, because I need enough money on hand to pay the Infirmarian, on whose head be anathema and curses when I DO get injured. They don't fix me up for FREE, you know. P.P.S. Can you spare me a dime? 30 December 2005 Just a reminder to all you online type people. It is much appreciated if you send your personals in PLAIN TEXT, rather than HTML or formatted text. HAL, in his infinite wisdom, doesn't DO formatting, which means having to unsnarl your personal ads from bunches of extraneous...stuff. So, if your e-mailer has a plain text option, let it be your friend. -- Ed. P.S. Sometimes it's the formatted text which makes ads go astray. Not often, but sometimes.
