I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with SOCIETY RED? He actually beat RAVAGING LORDS' THE CRIPPLER, and walked away with 15 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at JAILBIRDS while they watched RADINSKI clobber DUCK CREEK HAMMER. He lost 10 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. What a role model for NIATOLI ISLAND's young 'uns! THE ANVIL becomes Duelmaster, but don't bother to fight no more! I can barely restrain my enthusiam for JAILBIRDS' outstanding member, Duelmaster SOCIETY RED. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... What do people see in ACE HEARTS HAMMER? Hers 9-1-0? KLKASINO HAMMERZ ain't talkin', but she's got 41 points. There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? 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. Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.

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.
