Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with LEAKY TOILET? He actually beat TRADERS OF TROCAR's SMALL TAMER, and walked away with 14 more points from the fight. Major screwup at TRADERS OF TROCAR. KORILL SAI lost 11 points to UNFLUSHED. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe KORILL SAI will provide more easy wins... I can barely restrain my enthusiam for MASS EFFECT's outstanding member, Duelmaster URDNOT WREX. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! No matter the time or place, men will always duel. Warriors of TROCAR unite. You have only your games to lose! Death is no stranger to a warrior. TRADERS OF TROCAR's DALAN HILLEI led a good life before leaving TROCAR. Many would be proud to leave behind a 15-10-0. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously! Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt. 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. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.

Mass Effect -- Wow, and to think I used to be part of the Video Game Industry. I started to write ads to your warriors and did a google search and discovered your team is named after a video game. Man, was I feeling down / embarrassed to not know that. -- Assur Small Tamer -- Yet another reason to not want a cat. -- Not Toilet Paper Yeah. Two-three, but with the associated burdens most unfairly distributed. I have to do EVERYTHING on the front page! How tedious for me. Hands to shake, babies to kiss-- but no autographs! You can never be sure what people mean to DO with these free- floating signatures. -- Hazzan Kazzar LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS CLOSED was dealt death by CONJURED DEMON in a 3 minute bloody Dark Arena fight. HAZZAN KAZZAR was vanquished by URDNOT WREX in a 1 minute brutal uneven Title battle. DALAN HILLEI was assassinated by VENOMOUS CONCUBINE in a 1 minute mismatched duel. JACK devastated JHELUM RAIDER in a exciting 1 minute bloody one-sided fight. KORILL SAI was devastated by UNFLUSHED in a 1 minute one-sided duel. LEGION was devastated by DESERT LARK in a 1 minute mismatched match. SPECIES 37 handily defeated GARNET THE WHIP in a 1 minute uneven fight. STINKY vanquished TROLLBAIT in a 1 minute uneven duel.

JASPER GULCH: DM 85 Zeb Karan around the big table. Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and stared at each other: arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and infirmarians, even the maintenance crew. This was not the first time they'd met like this, and it probably wouldn't be the last. "So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked. "Less than seven years since they closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?" "Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out. "And it's necessary. There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're too full of team records." "Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested. Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the arenamaster of Shadowspire. But no one wanted to tell him to leave. "We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested. "We can't burn RECORDS." "I could," Rinvar said. "But you won't." Voth pinned him with a stare. "Don't stir up trouble for its own sake, Jame." Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "I'll be good, Lew." "When are they shutting down Blackstone?" "To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers want to pay the fees. This week. Maybe next week. Hard to be sure, when you travel from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect. But probably this week. Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82): no new teams in, but the old ones can recruit new members. New teams will go to the new place--" Zeb Karan cast a look of enquiry around the room. "Jasper Gulch," a steward said. "Right. New teams will go to Jasper Gulch. I'm not sure the day for it, probably 'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule. A regular two-week cycle. Teams can be transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT." Voth nodded. "We can work with this." "Beats not working."
