I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Phhbltt! Too much drinking and too little dodging gave THE SHIRE a 1-3-0! I got a good laugh out of it! What's with NEERLY STENN? He actually beat CRUEL PET NAMES' HUMP THE CAMEL, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at BEYOND THE PALE while they watched NEERLY STENN clobber HUMP THE CAMEL. He lost 17 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Har har har! Did GRANDPA JACK wimp out, or just get lazy? Anyway, he's not Duelmaster anymore. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for FLOWERS OF EVIL's outstanding member, Duelmaster APHELION VOID. 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 OXY MORONS. Management must be dealin', as the boys at CRUEL PET NAMES ain't reelin'! OXY MORONS' mad! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, THE EMPEROR! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Keep challenging up 29 points, SQUASH THE SNAKE, and I won't have to write about you much longer. BOB always accepts those kind of challenges... Who knows what was running through SQUASH THE SNAKE's head, but BOB rearranged it for it. How soon will SQUASH THE SNAKE make a challenge like that again? I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that DARKNESS gets in. It fights people like HUMPTY DUMPTY, 12 points below. I thought DARKNESS showed great skill and promise when it overcame HUMPTY DUMPTY. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. 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. ZENSU is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME APHELION VOID 5085 10 4 1 112 FLOWERS OF EVIL (514) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -GRANDPA JACK 5311 15 3 1 125 DIRTY DOZENS (333) MILITANT PACIFIST 5290 18 18 0 107 OXY MORONS (537) FLOODS 5263 21 6 0 106 PANDORA'S BOX (522) SLEEPY JOE 5294 19 19 1 106 OXY MORONS (537) THE EMPEROR 1994 11 20 0 101 AQUARIAN TAROT (235) EXPRESS MAIL 5323 12 8 0 98 OXY MORONS (537) DAN'S GHOST 5196 20 31 1 92 BEYOND THE PALE (337) BOB 5296 16 9 1 92 DREAMS WORK (538) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GLORIA 5298 13 12 2 86 DREAMS WORK (538) NEERLY STENN 5273 15 19 1 82 BEYOND THE PALE (337) THE HEDGE 5316 9 6 0 75 THE SHIRE (321) -DELUGE 5332 7 2 0 73 PANDORA'S BOX (522) KEN 5297 10 15 0 67 DREAMS WORK (538) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME OUATE LE PHOQUE 3902 11 7 0 66 CRUEL PET NAMES (381) DOS JONES 5272 15 19 0 64 BEYOND THE PALE (337) -RESTON 4263 7 3 1 62 VABOROUGHS (240) DARKNESS 5330 10 0 0 59 PANDORA'S BOX (522) HUMP THE CAMEL 3903 8 11 0 58 CRUEL PET NAMES (381) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SQUASH THE SNAKE 4002 6 2 0 56 CRUEL PET NAMES (381) SWEET SORROW 5335 9 6 1 52 OXY MORONS (537) HUMPTY DUMPTY 5331 6 6 0 48 DREAMS WORK (538) DISEASE 5327 6 4 0 48 PANDORA'S BOX (522) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SANCHO PROUDFOOT 5255 9 10 0 46 THE SHIRE (321) DULLES 4264 6 5 0 37 VABOROUGHS (240) -THE HIEROPHANT 2621 7 13 1 35 AQUARIAN TAROT (235) ROSIE COTTON 5328 5 6 1 34 THE SHIRE (321) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BELLADONNA TOOK 5313 6 10 0 28 THE SHIRE (321) -ICEMAN 5385 2 0 0 26 DIRTY DOZENS (333) -BROCCOLI BRIDE 5380 2 0 0 26 TMM EXPERIMENTS 103 (478) -EERIE BEEF 5383 2 0 0 25 TMM EXPERIMENTS 103 (478) -TURTLE NEMESIS 5382 2 0 0 25 TMM EXPERIMENTS 103 (478) -BOBO BOFFINS 5326 6 6 0 24 THE SHIRE (321) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MOOR PALE 5373 4 4 0 21 BEYOND THE PALE (337) -ALDIE 4286 3 4 0 19 VABOROUGHS (240) MARSHALL 4287 2 6 0 17 VABOROUGHS (240) HONEST SALESMAN 5362 2 6 0 16 OXY MORONS (537) -CHERUB OF JUSTICE 5349 3 6 0 15 DIRTY DOZENS (333) FLUSH THE GOLDFISH 4165 2 2 0 9 CRUEL PET NAMES (381) -DEADLY LOCUST 5375 1 2 0 8 PANDORA'S BOX (522) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
