Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Bein' on top is great while it lasts, FOOT OF PRIDE. But how many friends do you have now? It seems so recently people were saying 4-LETTER TUMS' was washed up, finished. But 3-0-0 moved them up 1. I guess they're washed no more... What's with MAD MAXINE? She actually beat HOUSE JHEREG's VILMOS, and walked away with 23 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at WEIRD STUDENTS while they watched MAD MAXINE clobber VILMOS. He lost 19 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. A MAN was reminded on the sands why THAK BONESNAP is Duelmaster. 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, HERO ALLIANCE! In my day, no team with a 186-136-15 would scare me off! What's the problem, HOUSE JHEREG? What do people see in MUTANT MAN? His 3-6-0? WEIRD STUDENTS ain't talkin', but he's got 15 points. PALUG didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from LOFTIS of HOUSE JHEREG, who is 19 points below him. LOFTIS perhaps got its just desserts, seeing as it was beat by PALUG and ended up with 45 recognition points. Warriors of MURSKA unite. You have only your games to lose! Who will dare fight DANNY BOY, after he returned from the Dark Arena? (For the record 29-13-1 is 111, and has he points) Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note! 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. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.

Gonna have to shut you down. -- Chaler Least popular?! Please. -- Chaler Captured Orc -- I don't care much for Orcs. It's a shame you're worthless and weak. -- Vilmos That's how they captured him. Vlad -- Enjoyed the spotlight, especially the second section. Well visualized. -- Jorja Vlad -- Re the personals, unless we're sick or totally involved in something else, figure SOME personals from us here. This was one of my earliest teams, and I retain a lingering fondness for it. -- Jorja Two-three, and our new new member claims that SHE wasn't ready, either. But at least she's alive. -- Oisin Turning Back -- Not fast enough. Turn faster. -- Palug Axazoh -- You'd be a winner at scrabble. -- Oisin Mad Maxine -- I do admire a tall woman. It makes me feel so manly when I can stand up to her! -- Padriag Mutant Man -- You may be quite something once you get your growth. But be sure to drink lots of milk for strong bones while training your SZ. Stretching exercises are recommended. -- Little Tommy Wbts -- You! First you killed my sister, and now you're coming after me. Butcher. -- Mara Kiera LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS DANNY BOY viciously butchered HIGH ELF in a crowd pleasing 10 minute Dark Arena fight.
