Notes from the arena champ.
Rotten style match for you, Kurohana, but I liked it.
Chauncy
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to WILLAF once again! Hmmmph! I always thought POWER LEGION was
an over-rated team and they proved it with a 1-2-0! Up 'n down. Up 'n down.
Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, YAMABUSHI's 3rd
moved them up to 4-0-0 place. What's with BOILINGBROKE? He actually beat NOBLE ON
FIRE's IN MY BENZ, and walked away with 16 more points from the fight. Laughs were
big at JLG while they watched 400S clobber DOUGLAS. He lost 9 points and got bruised
from objects thrown from the stands. I'm sure WILLAF is excited about AMYTHEST, the
new Duelmaster from MAXIMUM RESULTS. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I
have... 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.
WILLAF thinks POWER LEGION and their 66-56-3 is too much! If at first you don't
succeed, give up... The bums at GOLDEN GLADIATORS couldn't face the challenges from
POWER LEGION! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, DOUGLAS! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt
you.
Warriors of WILLAF unite. You have only your games to lose! 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. WILLAF is
a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

sometimes she's right. -- Penny Lopez
Por Q. Pine -- Is this some kind of special deal today? Everybody gets long fights
except Chauncy, who has the perfect long-fight answer which the rest of us don't. I

I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately. If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
