                             Notes from the arena champ.

There's no telling, Nerf Gun, but if Trocar experienced a sudden rush of nerfs to the 
arena, you might become useful.  You can always hope.

                                          -- Larkin Sand

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome TROCAR.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with DIRTY GROUT?  
He actually beat GR8 PL8TS' ESCUZME, and walked away with 13 more points from the 
fight.  Laughs were big at TRADERS OF TROCAR while they watched DILIAN HALLIE clobber 
FALLEN TOWEL RACK.  He lost 7 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the 
stands.  I'm sure TROCAR is excited about FIREWALL, the new Duelmaster from USELESS 
TOOLS.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  Wouldn't it be nice 
to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some team is looking into the uses of 
convicted prisoners.   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  The 
most avoided team was USELESS TOOLS.  In my day, no team with a 362-167-17 would 
scare me off!  What's the problem, BASH BROS BATHROOM?   
     Warriors of TROCAR unite.  You have only your games to lose!  GURTARGAN MONK 
killed WET FLOOR, and expects revenge from BASH BROS BATHROOM.  The dead are better 
off dead--they have no worries.  DARRIN HORROCKS 2 of TRADERS OF TROCAR didn't know 
when to quit.  When you've got a 3-12-0, that's a good sign.  Now he's dead.  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.  All work 
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

We don't know if we did personals for Trocar two weeks ago, when things got confused, 
but we're gambling we did not, so here are these. -- Jorja, Traders of Trocar

worthlessness. -- Darrin Horrocks

That cult member was like all cultists of his type and had no appreciation of nuance 
and irony.  I did what I had to. -- Kai Lung
