DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, I'm back. Out of hibernation. Well, not really. I haven't been
hibernating at all. O. Puncha had merely skinned my hiney, and I had to grow some
new fur! But this time, I eked out the victory and Puncha's punches met my rock hard
abs and did nothing but tickle my fancy. I wish! Actually, it was very close again,
and either fight could have gone either way. A salute to Lord Protector, O. Puncha!
I am proud to report that this is my fourth DM crown. I am 4-2 in those
battles. 2-0 vs TPs
1-0 vs BAs
1-1 vs PSs
0-1 vs ABs
What's that tell me? Nothing I didn't already know--but aimers equal avoid-city!
Simple
Some interesting stats about me. In 29 arena fights and 12 tournament fights
(total 41) I have fought 15 TP vs TP fights. Almost 30% of my fights have been
against TPs! I am 13-2 in those fights. I have fought 4 Abs and am 0-4. Avoid.
Avoid. Avoid. I like to use the battle axe, but my crit rate is only 1%. Yuck.
But 14% of my blows are "extra value". That should tell you something.
I hope to avoid that Chauncey next turn. It would be very prudent if I did.
Indeed.
Good luck to all and remember
Drive for show and putt for dough.
Golden Bear
SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of WILLAF! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with CHAUNCY? He actually
beat GOLDEN GLADIATORS' 24 CARAT, and walked away with 17 more points from the fight.
Laughs were big at PUNNY AMINALS while they watched CHAUNCY clobber 24 CARAT. She
lost 13 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. I can barely
restrain my enthusiam for ARENA FELINES' outstanding member, Duelmaster KITTEN
KABOODLE. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, PUNNY AMINALS! The
bums at GOLDEN GLADIATORS couldn't face the challenges from PUNNY AMINALS! No excuse
for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, CHAUNCY!
Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. We all knew it had to happen sooner or later. A
warrior can't stick around with a 5-4-0, and JULIO easily took care of MONA KORIN.
GOLDEN FLEECE's family knows what's wot, after seeing the response from GOLDEN
GLADIATORS! Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die
so young, so gloriously!
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. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
