     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to STORMCROWE once again!  What's with REV GARY DAVIS?  He actually 
beat KNIGHT BREED's HARLOCK, and walked away with 22 more points from the fight.  
Major screwup at GOING BERSERK.  ONTOR lost 20 points to THE BRUTE SQUAD.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe ONTOR will provide more easy wins...  Apparently 
STORMCROWE isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I thought.  The Dreaded 
Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn!  STORMCROWE has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit 
back and get lazy.  He Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's WURM KIN (0-0-0), which 
should prove (ahem!) interesting.  WURM KIN was reminded on the sands why RAZOR-RAT 
is Duelmaster.  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     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, KNIGHT BREED!  The 
bums at AVID FANS couldn't face the challenges from KNIGHT BREED!  No excuse for 
that!   
     Warriors of STORMCROWE unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Who will dare 
fight RAZOR-RAT, after he returned from the Dark Arena?  (For the record 18-9-1 is 
115, and has he points) 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.  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.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
