                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Just two more fights and my preparation will be complete.  This turn looks like
it will be Louie Murh.
     Naefan, A word of advice  Don't mouth off before a fight.  I was extra motivated
after your comments dissing my purity.  I wanted to drown you in your words, but the
Arenamaster stopped me before I could get nasty.
     I am the real thing and nothing will prevent me from proving to you and yours
that Whole Milk is the best!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome DRAGONHEAD.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Biff!  Pow!  
DRAGONHEAD watched with glee as ARTIC FURY got knocked off top spot by MIDDLE WAY 9!  
Hmmmph!  I always thought KIWI CONNECTION 8 was an over-rated team and they proved it 
with a 0-0-0!  A team with purpose!  A team with the skill to back up their boasts!  
Getting a 3-0-0 their first time out is KIWI CONNECTION 12.  What's with BRUCE?  He 
actually beat LHC's BLACK HOLE SUN, and walked away with 15 more points from the 
fight.  Major screwup at LHC.  ALICE lost 6 points to RONARDA SOLA.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe ALICE will provide more easy wins...  See how the 
Duelmaster challenged MIDDLE WAY 9's LOUIE MURH?  That sort of initiative is how he 
got where he is now.  Try as she might, LOUIE MURH wasn't good enough at persuading 
WHOLE to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  I suppose you want to hear some 
rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  What do people see in LOUIE 
MURH?  Hers 19-11-0?  MIDDLE WAY 9 ain't talkin', but she's got 91 points.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  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.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Torans Ulrik -- The commission (or perhaps the Dwarf) has it in for you.  Four of
your last 5 NPC matchups have been against Khalhums Dwarf.  And lets just say that
the Dwarf has your number.  Bad luck?  Conspiracy? -- Assurnasirbanipal

Whole -- Alas, we have come to the conclusion--reluctantly, we assure you!--that milk
consumpstion will have to be limited, along with wheat consumption.  Those darned
allergies.  At least it shouldn't be necessary to eliminate it completely! -- the
Middle Way
P.S.  Of COURSE whole milk.  In so far as this wimpy, four percent stuff in the
stores is "whole."  A cow wouldn't think so.

Whole -- The problem is waking up in the middle of the night all congested and
headachy.  Been down that road already with wheat, so... gotta be careful, or else we
will have snot everywhere.  Talk about gruesome! -- Naefan Ordh

I never did like dwarfs. -- Torans Ulrik

We, on the other hand, like Veteran Mercenaries fine. -- Romor Saith and Louie Murh

Alice -- Bah. -- Ronarda Sola

In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's 
cramp, census forms will be provided for warriors by request only, effective 
immediately.  Managers may register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by 
simply writing them on a separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission.
