DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
My one week on top was fun. Thank you, Terminother III, and to all of you for
your hard work for my seat on the throne.
Babysplit
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to LIN TIRIAN once again! What's with STRIKE ONE? She actually
beat SAND DANCERS' JAYNE THE RIPPER, and walked away with 10 more points from the
fight. Major screwup at SAND DANCERS. JAYNE THE RIPPER lost 5 points to STRIKE ONE.
Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe JAYNE THE RIPPER will provide more easy wins...
What a role model for LIN TIRIAN's young 'uns! TERMINOTTER III becomes Duelmaster,
but don't bother to fight no more! I can barely restrain my enthusiam for PBA's
outstanding member, Duelmaster BABY SPLIT. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up
fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How
well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, JAYNE THE RIPPER!
Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? I like to see warriors put young whippersnappers in their
place. I guess you could say TREE PEOPLE'BOXWOOD did just that. Right THE
FELLOWSHIP? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight
dirty.
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. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Blonde Billie -- We all work hard at the thing that we like. Hope to see you soon.
-- Baby Split
Jigger Kree -- Ok forty two it is. Old math it takes two hands to make it. -- Fuie +
Fuie
When things are working out I am arounding in to shape now. -- Boxwood
A note to all the managers that are new -- Welcome. I would like to thank you for
staying here and fighting in the arena. It's fun. And the Hunting is good. To the
Opera Team, can you sing or fight? -- Elderberry, old mgr.
Hmm, turn three hundred. There are people around who see great significance in these
double-zero turn numbers. I'm not sure why, but there it is. Does anybody here feel
like participating in making the next few turns worthy of memory? -- Jorja
Tyler Durden -- I feel that it was very WRONG of you to win that fight, but still, at
least you're a woman. I would hate much MORE to lose to a man. I prefer ripping men
up one side and down the other, you see. -- Jayne the Ripper
Five + Five -- I wish you wouldn't give me these complicated math problems! How can
I concentrate on improving my fighting ability if you keep asking me to calculate
something? -- Irlon
P.S. And, as you see, your wretched little problem DID cause me to learn no skills.
I hold you PERSONALLY responsible for my lack of new skills.
P.P.S. Math, bah!
150 -- I just don't understand. Am I supposed to guess what your number means? Your
weight? Your age? Your post office box number? It's all so confusing. -- Blonde
Billie
P.S. But at least you taught me a skill. Thank you.
Strike One -- And I lose? That's it, just one strike? I thought I got three before
I was out. -- Jigger Kree
Baby Split -- It's a date! -- Blonde Billie
P.S. Chocolate syrup and peanuts for all.
Five + Five -- Yes, it IS. I can tell! I know a trick question when I see one. --
Irlon
Boxwood -- Sometimes, but it's hard on my armor. -- Jayne the Ripper
7 June 2005
I am in the process of moving house, and spotlight writing for the next two months
will be very hit-and-miss. -- the Scribe
