                             Notes from the arena champ.

That was amazing, Cold Steel.  Icy steel!  I didn't expect to win, and so quickly.

                                           -- Rumbler

P.S.  I wouldn't have ripped your face off.  My mother brought me up better than that.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome JADE MOUNTAIN.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the 
fights have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Biff!  Pow!  
JADE MOUNTAIN watched with glee as SHEWISH BUFFET got knocked off top spot by SAND 
DANCERS!  Phhbltt!  Too much drinking and too little dodging gave SHEWISH BUFFET a 
0-0-0!  I got a good laugh out of it!  Up 'n down.  Up 'n down.  Rankings always 
change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna be...  Well, THE B TEAM's 3rd moved them up 
to 2-3-1 place.  What's with LADY CHAO?  She actually beat JADE MOUNTAIN's KO-HA 
OAKCHOPPER, and walked away with 13 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at 
THE B TEAM while they watched ABBA GOLD clobber UNTAMED.  He lost 6 points and got 
bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  I can barely restrain my enthusiam for 
CRITICALS' outstanding member, Duelmaster COLD STEEL.  I suppose you want to hear 
some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  JADE 
MOUNTAIN thinks THE B TEAM and their 4-6-2 is too much!  If at first you don't 
succeed, give up...  Management must be dealin', as the boys at HEROS OF HAGUS ain't 
reelin'!  THE B TEAM's mad!   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  BOLDER was plum wore out after AGNOR pounded 'im 
silly in a Bloodfeud.  THE B TEAM'll have to get a little better before going after 
AGNOR again!  Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor.  You young 
rapscallions, take note!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  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

From:       The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To:         All Managers

In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's 
cramp, the census form has been eliminated, 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.  Each warrior may have 
up to 15 favorite sayings.  Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch, 
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long.  For any questions, please contact the 
Gladiatorial Commission. 

                        TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE

     As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance.  This 
option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn!

     Team Maintenance:  This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every 
     turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will 
     fight the turn they arrive.  In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have 
     multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance.  
     (The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had 
     their initial strategy input.)  

     Character Maintenance:  This will cause only that warrior to fight every 
     turn.  If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on 
     Character Maintenance.

     In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if 
you wish.  The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each 
turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy.
     Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not 
carry through from turn to turn.  These sections are only used on the turn they are 
entered.  In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a 
strategy sheet each time. 
     One other thing to remember about maintenance:  Maintenance is not something 
that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys).  In order to add or remove 
maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service.  If you 
just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done.  
Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads.  Please, please, please put it on a 
separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top.  If you don't, 
well, you can imagine.
     Thanks for your time.  Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes
