I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Bein' on top is great while it lasts, HAMOI TONG. But how many friends do you have now? What's with ROBOT CHICKEN? He actually beat HAMOI TONG's GHUDA III, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight. Major screwup at HAMOI TONG. GHUDA III lost 11 points to ROBOT CHICKEN. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe GHUDA III will provide more easy wins... THE LIZARD KING was reminded on the sands why PAPEWAIO is Duelmaster. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. NIANIA thinks MISNOMERS and their 17-6-0 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up... In my day, no team with a 17-6-0 would scare me off! What's the problem, THE FUNNY FARM? Maybe THE MOTHERSHIP CH's GRONK SPIKE is one of those guys who likes pain, or something. That's what he'll get next week, after challenging up 27 to ELINTERRI. I don't get it. GRONK SPIKE goes and challenges ELINTERRI, way above him, but gets 4 points after he loses! Is this a new strategy? NOSE-FACE KILLER of THE MOTHERSHIP CH knows how to pick 'em. He challenged KORBRIZT HORON of THE GOLDEN FISH who is up by 19. Now was this a wise move? NOSE-FACE KILLER perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was defeated by KORBRIZT HORON and ended up with 27 recognition points. 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. 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.

I'm so popular, you just can't stay away from me. I make everyone else look good, because I shed the mantle of my enormous popularity all over the place. -- Kinthira P.S. Who wouldn't be shedding mantles in this humid heat? The Law Firm -- Good gods, I hope I did "overcame" you! I wouldn't want a triumphant law firm running around here. -- Korbrizt Horon A Captured Orc and an Ambitious Guard. Two standbys in need of knocking down, and we knocked 'em. -- Elinterri and Kestraline Nose-Face Killer -- With a nose like that, YOU are the one who should be killed, not the one who should kill. Not even a mother could love that face. Not even an orcish mother, and us orcs aren't so particular about facial configuration as humans are. But your teeth are pathetic, no tusks at all. -- Lugbruk LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS DIRT was butchered by DARK CHAMPION in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight. DUST was butchered by SHEWISH GIANT in a 1 minute Dark Arena duel. JIRO was demolished by KINTHIRA in a popular 1 minute one-sided Challenge melee.

PAPEWAIO defeated THE LIZARD KING in a 1 minute Title struggle. ROBOT CHICKEN beat GHUDA III in a crowd pleasing 3 minute brawl. KESTRALINE savagely defeated THE LAW FIRM in a 5 minute expert vs. beginner melee. WILE E COYOTE narrowly defeated JINGU in a 3 minute gruesome duel. LUGBRUK was overpowered by BUNTOKAPI in a 1 minute one-sided fight.
