Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with WATER DAMAGE? He actually beat TRADERS OF TROCAR's DILIAN HALLIE, and walked away with 17 more points from the fight. Major screwup at TRADERS OF TROCAR. DILIAN HALLIE lost 16 points to WATER DAMAGE. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe DILIAN HALLIE will provide more easy wins... THE COLLECTOR was reminded on the sands why YEW is Duelmaster. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go... 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.

As this warrior is a Zombie, this was against the rules because immortal warriors may not challenge the Dark Arena. (An exception is granted so a warrior may challenge the Dark Arena on his very last turn after receiving an invitation to Advanced Duelmasters, so he can show his prowess with the Dark Arena monsters, but this may not be used as a method of classing in the dead tournament if he happens to die in the night fight.) To correct this injustice, we changed the fight result for all warriors who lost to Voodoo Toad to a win for that turn. This gave two warriors, Crazy 54 84-11494 of Crazy 88 15 and Sarokith 84-30929 of Dub O Dubs, an ending record of 8-3, which grants them Tournament Victor status and resurrection. We realize this is not a perfect solution but hope it will make some amends for the warriors who lost to this misclassed warrior. -- RSI
