Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Woof! COLD IRON BLOWS were a bunch of dogs after HIGH JINKS got through with 'em! 3rd ain't so sweet as 1st! Phhbltt! Too much drinking and too little dodging gave DREAMERS a 1-4-0! I got a good laugh out of it! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, ERRATA's 8th moved them up to 2-0-0 place. Some people say I ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well SWEET MAGIC moved up 2, to 5th. What's with MONKEY? He actually beat DREAMERS' HUME, and walked away with 19 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at DREAMERS while they watched MACHIAVELLI clobber LOSING IS FUN. She lost 11 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. RIZTAB has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. He Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's HEZDLAT THE GIANT (0-0-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting. Try as he might, HEZDLAT THE GIANT wasn't good enough at persuading KALEN 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. The most avoided team was HIGH JINKS. In my day, no team with a 200-197-12 would scare me off! What's the problem, CULTS-R-US? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, KRANKYKARL! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Warriors of RIZTAB unite. You have only your games to lose! Who will dare fight KALEN, after he returned from the Dark Arena? (For the record 20-11-1 is 137, and has he points) Someone told BULLHOG that CULTS-R-US never Bloodfeuded, that he'd have an easy kill. Well, I'm sure whoever misled you is right sorry. 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. RIZTAB 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.

Aren't I so proud. Here's me in a nutshell [Brother Zort curls into a ball and wraps a blanket around himself]. A striker: 9-12-16-15-7-14-11 Ad Ex. Init(+2) and Dec(-2), Ex. Att and Rip(+2); tremendous damage!?, and to think poor Zero with ten more points of size and strength only got great damage. And look at this, oh joy!, favorites of low/low with a FI! pbblllttt!, who needs ya, ya stinkin commission. -- Brother Zort, the retired Leibniz -- Did I time that right (for you) or what? You're welcome, dog. -- Mangy Polecat Winter Shadows -- Uugh, that does sound properly gruesome. -- Dex Bling Bling -- Yeeeeesh! I was looking for a breakout fight and they sent in an under-experienced opponent. -- Missy Mossy Yoda Man -- I'm having reservations on whether you really are da man. -- Krankykarl Buddah -- Nice weapon. It does properly ugly work too, or hadn't you noticed? -- Ugly Eddie Brother Zero -- Only great. *tsk* *tsk* *tsk* Losing Is Fun -- How would YOU know? You haven't given it a fair chance. Now, *I* have studied losing thoroughly, and I can assure you, out of the depths of my experience, that it is NOT "fun." -- Tala Gog P.S. And this is completely aside from the Infirmary bill that so often comes with it. Kool-Aid Drinker -- What a revolting concept! Does your cult actually REQUIRE this of you? If so, and it was me, I'd change cults in a heartbeat.-- Winter Shadows, shuddering at the very thought Qualix -- (wincing) I just about got frostbite from those cold blows of yours. -- Tariliss P.S. Isn't that Arenamaster Rillion a stingy old thing? You win and just get a nod, not a "Well done, young man," or a "Not bad, but don't drop your point at the end of a lunge," or any other kind of personal note. Huh. Young woman, I have seen thousands of gladiators come and go. How can I be expected to notice each one personally? And if you want advice, I teach a class, which you may enroll in for a modest fee. -- Arenamaster Rillion Big Shrimp -- Maybe, but for a lobster, you're a midget. Still, not bad with a good sauce. -- Marvanella Egros -- Did you REALIZE that your name spelled backward is sorgE? Wait till the Cultists find out! You're going to be in DEEP trouble. -- Sweet Betsey P.S. And I'll probably--not certainly, but probably--laugh when it hits you. At least, if I'm standing far enough away. Our congratulations to Kalen and Brother Zort. -- Jorja and Sweet Magic Ugly Eddie -- Well, that's true. If you care to visit me on my island, I would be delighted to fulfill a few of your fantasies. -- Alourshin, with the leisure to be generous Brother Zero -- It's the pits, isn't it? And when the voice-overs come from these dinky little humans with no sense of respect or even decency, well, it's doubly the pits. -- Tala Gog 24 January 2007 The Council of Lords would like to propose a rule change in ADM and Primus. We propose that Lord Protectors ranked "Grand Champions" and below (ADM) and "The Tower Guard" and below (Primus) be allowed to fight in the Dark Arena. This would not impact the top rankings or title match. Any managers who never got his fill or shot at fighting Gateway monsters would have it as an option. We believe it might spark some interest in the ADM/Primus realm for some managers. If interested, speak up in the newsletters or on forums under the "rules changes" thread and let RSI know. This could even be something to try for 12 months and then be re-evaluated. What say you, managers of Ghea? -- The Icelord sends....
