Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with I WET MY BED!? It actually beat FRAG 'EM ALL!'s OBNOXIO, and walked away with 24 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at TOTEM while they watched PUMA clobber VISIGOTH. He lost 18 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. See how the Duelmaster Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's MOUNTAIN TROLL? That sort of initiative is how he got where he is now. Try as he might, MOUNTAIN TROLL wasn't good enough at persuading ZERO THE HERO to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners. No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, PUSSYFOOT! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Taunt your opponent DIM HAIRY THING! That was my lucky charm when I was unfairly challenged. (and by 24 points!) PEREGRINE should have an easy win. PEREGRINE bested DIM HAIRY THING. TOTEM calls this fighting? In my day... PUSSYFOOT didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from SNOW LEOPARD of TOTEM, who is 25 points below him. SNOW LEOPARD perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was bested by PUSSYFOOT and ended up with 30 recognition points. A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. Who will dare fight ZERO THE HERO, after he returned from the Dark Arena? (For the record 17-4-1 is 143, and has he points) 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. All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf. Olaffighterwork and no play. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SHADOWCAT 3950 12 13 3 104 FRAG 'EM ALL!

I knew that. We've met before, haven't we? Or if not me, one of my teammates. So I knew you Is already. Only this time, you more or less Isn't, and that's good. I figure I put in a good day's work on that. Well, a good three minutes work, anyway. -- Juno Visigoth -- Are you kin to the Invisigoth? Sometimes I think I might rather meet up with him, because then I wouldn't have the horrid anticipation, the "seeing it coming" stuff. It makes my hair stand on end, which is uncomfortable in armor. So, try to be invisible next time, okay? It might help. -- Pussyfoot Zero the Hero -- Not to ME you aren't! They say every man is a hero to his dog, but you're not MY man, no way. Well, you're too small, for one thing. I wouldn't want a man who was so small I might step on him by accident. Too much anxiety, and us dogs don't do anxiety at all well, you know. It's more a cat thing. -- Bowser Puma -- (growling softly) You're just a big cat! My meat! -- Honey Pup Peregrine -- I'm not sure, but I think the Dim Hairy Thing was trying to object to your violation of his air space. He needs a lot of air space, you see, because his breath and, erm, other odors are so bad. Nobody wants to get really close to him. -- Honey Pup, for Dim Hairy Thing Snow Leopard -- Be warned! You have offended the entire Cult of the Crooked Bone, and we will have our revenge! You think we care nothing for our minor members, perhaps, or that we are impotent against gladiators? Ha! Not a sparrow falls but we notice and wish we'd struck it down ourselves! And every gladiator wanders down an alley sooner or later. Be warned! Your days are numbered! -- Grandmaster Sleeth of the Cult of the Crooked Bone P.S. In regards to the numbering of your days, this is number one. 20 September 2004 Azereth has returned! I am the manager for Scarlet Blades in DM 25. I was a member of the Crimson Alliance and the Crimson Brotherhood (which was composed of former CA members). I've been out of the game for many (at least 5) years. I would like to hear from anyone who remembers me, as well as any Alliance that is seeking to add experienced managers to their roster. Contact me at: Anthony Wells 600 W. Shore Dr. Stanton, MI 48888 or by personal ads in DM 25. LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS ZERO THE HERO butchered MOUNTAIN TROLL in a 1 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
