     Welcome JHANS.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have I 
fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Woof!  ENGINES 'O' DEATH were 
a bunch of dogs after ERRATA got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!  Some 
people say I ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant.  I repeat myself.  I 
ramble.  Well BABES moved up 1, to 3rd.  What's with IRON MAN?  He actually beat VOW 
TO DESTROY's BLOOD THIRSTER, and walked away with 15 more points from the fight.  
Major screwup at ENGINES 'O' DEATH.  STAGGER LEE lost 9 points to AFTER.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe STAGGER LEE will provide more easy wins...  OBSIDIAN was 
reminded on the sands why RIREMA is Duelmaster.  I suppose you want to hear some 
rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  How well I know the 
feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, FRIENDLY 
FIRE!  Management must be dealin', as the boys at ENGINES 'O' DEATH ain't reelin'!  
FRIENDLY FIRE's mad!  How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged 
warrior, ROSIE!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Some people are wondering why VOW TO DESTROY sent TENRISBLOOD 
(4-1-0) to the Dark Arena.  Just be glad you're not on their team.  How long have I 
been here?  I got people to see, places to go...   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  JHANS is 
a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  Remember--a good 
fighter needs both good skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

following pledge:

* I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a Tournament, nor will I
  use a Tournament prize on a warrior from this team.
* I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena.  If circumstances
  preclude my running less than a full team I will notify the Player Committee.
* I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.
* I understand that any warrior that participates in a Tournament shall be sent to
  the Dark Arena until they are dead.
* I understand that any warrior that receives a Tournament prize shall be send to the

The following are the rules for joining this No-Tournament arena 

1.  No tournament play (Dead tournament or otherwise)
2.  One team per manager
3.  Team starts with new rollup (or a zero fight equivalent team is transferred into
    this arena.)
4.  No tourney prizes allowed to modify warriors in the arena
5.  20 teams required, per RSI
