DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
What do you do when sickness lingers around and just won't go away?
First, you should have gone to the doctor days/weeks ago!
Second, you should get more sleep. You know that this sickness is going to be a long
fight.
Third, you might have to just live with it! It might be annoying and push you and
everyone around you down, preventing you from being the best.
That is me...
Sickness
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to XOCHITHLAN once again! MANILA was reminded on the sands why
SICKNESS is Duelmaster. 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. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, BIONIC MAN! In my day, no team with a 37-15-2 would scare me off! What's
the problem, BASH BROS BABY? How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, APPLE BLOSSOM! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to
haunt you. MITRAL VALVE of BIONIC MAN knows how to pick 'em. He challenged CELIA
DUNCAN of THE MIDDLE WAY who is up by 20. Now was this a wise move? MITRAL VALVE
perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he beat CELIA DUNCAN and ended up with 104
recognition points.
Warriors of XOCHITHLAN 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.
XOCHITHLAN 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
