Banana Boy, it isn't going to work. I know you hunger to be on our team, to show yourself worthy of being one of the Children of Llyr, and the gods know your record DOES show that, but the transfer wouldn't be sanctioned. Culann Coontz SPY REPORT Much has changed in MURSKA since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! FLIPPERS ARCADE is now ranked 5th with a 1-1-0 turn. What's with VEXED VIKING? He actually beat BUSY, BUSYTOWN's TOURNEY SCUM, and walked away with 24 more points from the fight. Major screwup at CHILDREN OF LLYR. BILDIS lost 10 points to UGLY GENTLEMAN. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe BILDIS will provide more easy wins... Apparently MURSKA isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I thought. The Dreaded Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn! PHILANTHROPISTS 3's hatred of CHILDREN OF LLYR surfaced again as GARTH THE SEAMITE challenged MURSKA's top dog. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for PHILANTHROPISTS 3's outstanding member, Duelmaster GARTH THE SEAMITE. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! 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, CHILDREN OF LLYR! The bums at ERRATA couldn't face the challenges from CHILDREN OF LLYR! No excuse for that! A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. HYPER VIPER larned his lesson (BALIN taught it well), and we right likely won't be seein' 'im fight any CHILDREN OF LLYR members with the same gusto. Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty. 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 GARTH THE SEAMITE 3748 19 11 1 115 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BALIN 3955 27 9 0 120 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) HYPER VIPER 3646 15 15 1 101 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) LOONY 3990 9 2 0 97 ERRATA (371) JUNGLE KING 3930 19 34 0 91 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) CULANN COONTZ 3984 13 6 0 91 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PITFALL HARRY 3927 19 31 0 90 FLIPPERS ARCADE (366) VEXED VIKING 3641 12 9 0 90 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) TOURNEY SCUM 3943 22 5 0 83 BUSY, BUSYTOWN (360) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -JANICE JOPLIN 3891 4 0 1 61 DEAD MUSICIANS (362) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOOMSHAKALAKA 3611 5 3 0 56 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) UGLY GENTLEMAN 3582 7 6 0 50 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) -NI 3945 3 3 0 47 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) -DURIN 3935 4 0 0 44 LORD OF MORIA (367) BILDIS 3978 8 16 0 40 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BRENNA 3995 9 6 0 33 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) PACIFIST 3939 4 0 0 32 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) ALE'CHAI TALLSKY 4026 3 0 0 27 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) -SIR PSYCHO 3707 2 1 0 26 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LAELAMESTO 3745 3 2 0 24 PHILANTHROPISTS (153) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -AHANTI GRAVETT 3747 2 0 0 21 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) -ALCARESE 3946 1 0 0 20 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) -SHYBEL GIBBEN 3979 2 0 0 18 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) DRENDAN O'KAI 4030 1 2 0 13 CHILDREN OF LLYR (141) -ORDENASH 3950 1 0 0 10 PHILANTHROPISTS 3 (347) -MR SHORTSWORD 3746 0 1 0 1 PHILANTHROPISTS 2 (345) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

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.
