                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well I'm as surprised as any of you to find myself here.  When you fall behind on two 
quick ones, it's often hard to be productive.  Good thing Mariah challenged the Dark 
Arena for that last kill instead of me. Salacia Vile should have beaten me like a 
dust-infested old carpet also, but she just didn't have what it takes (yet).     

Only two warriors I can challenge this turn, and since I just fluked into beating one, 
that means I'm now challenging the other.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of TELORINTHE!  Once again I've been called out of 
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Bein' on top is great 
while it lasts, BAD SIGNS.  But how many friends do you have now?  Phhbltt!  Too much 
drinking and too little dodging gave THE FEROCIOUS FIVE a 2-3-0!  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, LINDISFARNE's 1st moved them up to 4-1-1 place.  What's with 
IRONTAIL?  It actually beat NFL NETWORK's TYRANN MATHIEU, and walked away with 20 
more points from the fight.  Major screwup at THE FEROCIOUS FIVE.  ONE PIECE lost 16 
points to KAMIGAWA.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe ONE PIECE will provide more 
easy wins...  Apparently TELORINTHE isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I 
thought.  The Dreaded Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn!  See how the Duelmaster 
challenged NFL NETWORK's RILEY MCCARRON?  That sort of initiative is how it got where 
it is now.  RILEY MCCARRON was reminded on the sands why 0-2 COUNT is Duelmaster.  
Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some team is 
looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  How well I know the 
feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, THE DRAGONS!  
The bums at BAD SIGNS couldn't face the challenges from THE DRAGONS!  No excuse for 
that!   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Someone told MYNX that CLASSICS never Bloodfeuded, that she'd 
have an easy kill.  Well, I'm sure whoever misled you is right sorry.  Many a warrior 
has met his fate in a hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     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. 
Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
