But I defeated the duelmaster of last turn, and I see no reason why my formal retirement should prevent me writing this. You know what they say: It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it. So, it was a good fight, L.T. Jeebus, the kind I like: I won. We don't keep back fights or such extensive notes as to tell me whether that is your normal armor and weapons, but ye gods, man, are you suicidal? I don't even see this as tourney timing, since you did actually fight. Listen, I think you're a weird person, but I'd say this to any gladiator: Armor is your friend! Pensacolita P.S. I'll tell you what else is a surprise, I've been running darned near my favorites all along! Shortspear, moderate/high. What the heck, it works. P.P.S. I note (Jorja's to blase' to notice) that with my graduation this is now another team with all ten styles on the Isle. Not that I plan on going to the Isle; I've got some serious research to do here on the variations of smash. SPY REPORT Welcome BONSUR. 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, SENTINELS. But how many friends do you have now? What's with HIDA YAKAMO? He actually beat SENTINELS' TOM THE LION, and walked away with 25 more points from the fight. Major screwup at SENTINELS. EPEE MYSTIQUE lost 12 points to WHOLLY MOLLY. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe EPEE MYSTIQUE will provide more easy wins... I'm sure BONSUR is excited about HIDA YAKAMO, the new Duelmaster from CALL TO THUNDER. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners. If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The most avoided team was SENTINELS. Management must be dealin', as the boys at AMEN! ain't reelin'! SENTINELS' mad! What do people see in NEANDERTHAL? His 21-23-0? SENTINELS ain't talkin', but he's got 96 points. Warriors of BONSUR unite. You have only your games to lose! Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note! Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. BONSUR is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Jeebey -- It looks like the title is up for grabs. I'll fight yah for it! -- Neanderthal Wholly Molly -- Hmmm...the parry does seem to be improving! And I kinda like the armor. Dents in the armor don't hurt anywhere near as badly as dents in the ol' hide. -- Epee Pensacolita -- There are curious minds.... -- Neanderthal Rose -- I do appreciate the win, but what am I doing way up here already! -- Tom Cat Patty -- I think Tom already had this "you have too much experience for me" conversation. But the truly sad part is that you don't seem to teach well enough to make the whole getting-my-butt-kicked thing worthwhile. Perhaps you could offer to teach me something else at the Cabana? -- Hieronymus, eager to be a good student Sister Sinister -- Ah, a lefty, are you? Figures. Tricky people, lefties. I've often noticed it. -- Saltilla Tom the Lion -- And indeed you're a lion of a man. After the workout you gave me, that "several days bedrest" was welcome. -- Rose o' the Reef Hieronymus Zigg -- Gosh, have you been a golem all along, or did it come as a surprise to you? I've heard that lots of gladiators didn't realize they were golems until the Commission did their pre-induction physicals and told 'em so, and not in a sensitive, compassionate manner, either. -- Palmetta Patty P.S. Your golemness isn't obvious. You seem like quite an ordinary guy, at first. Speaking of golems, I don't think there's every been a time when anyone doubted that the Andorian Noble, aka Robo Hero Mark V, was a golem. Oh, sure, they try to put a good face on it, give it a gender and a, well, a face that isn't bad, if you like generic. But cheese louise, the bolts show. -- Little Venus Double Ordealers -- Good to see you back. Who's managing? Still, Applejack, Jondeaux, someone else? -- Jorja Baldassare -- Well, of course! I'm a dangerous woman. It's my thing, you know? And something really special in the way of body oils. -- Little Venus Rondo the Black -- Well, of COURSE you can come to the party, and I will personally see to it that you get totally smashed. -- Pensacolita Epee -- Wow, you're not just a tin can after all! Don't let it go to your head. -- Molly Neanderthal -- You and me now, mate. Don't be gettin' nervous and takin' the wrong armor again, okay? -- Jeebus Jax'n Curr -- "Overpower" you? You do realize I am a nun, don't you? The only thing I'm allowed to 'overpower' you with is love for your lord and savior. That, and the business end of a shortsword. -- Sister Sinister LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS NEANDERTHAL was bested by LORD T. JEEBUS in a 3 minute mismatched Challenge fight. WHOLLY MOLLY viciously subdued EPEE MYSTIQUE in a 1 minute veteran's Challenge match. SISTER SINISTER bested SALTILLA in a 2 minute brutal novice's Challenge fight. HIDA YAKAMO devastated TOM THE LION in a 1 minute uneven Title brawl. PALMETTA PATTY was defeated by KHALHUMS DWARF in a 2 minute veteran's struggle. REV. JIMMY was savagely defeated by HIERONYMUS ZIGG in a 5 minute gruesome melee. THE PREACHER was vanquished by ROSE O' THE REEF in a 1 minute uneven duel. LITTLE VENUS savagely defeated CULT MEMBER in a 3 minute gruesome duel. CHAOTIC DEATH was defeated by BALDASSARE in a exciting 1 minute gruesome fight. DUNE DAISY overpowered MORDANT DESERTER in a 1 minute one-sided fight.
