                             Notes from the arena champ.

TEN! Ten Duelmaster Titles is an awful lot of water under the bridge, you know?Who 
would have thought it sitting fishing on the waterbank? How many splashes in the old 
swimming hole would it take? Skinny dipping in the murky river might have been more 
fun.  

But, what the heck. Count me in!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of ZENSU!  Once again I've been called out of retirement for 
my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Woof!  TMM EXPERIMENTS 103 were a bunch 
of dogs after OXY MORONS got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!  What's 
with NEERLY STENN?  He actually beat PANDORA'S BOX's DARKNESS, and walked away with 
16 more points from the fight.  Major screwup at PANDORA'S BOX.  DARKNESS lost 8 
points to NEERLY STENN.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe DARKNESS will provide 
more easy wins...  See how the Duelmaster challenged DREAMS WORK's HUMPTY DUMPTY?  
That sort of initiative is how it got where it is now.  Try as he might, HUMPTY 
DUMPTY wasn't good enough at persuading FLOODS to step down from the Duelmaster's 
throne...  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some 
team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  How well I know the feeling 
of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, TMM EXPERIMENTS 103!  
The bums at PANDORA'S BOX couldn't face the challenges from TMM EXPERIMENTS 103!  No 
excuse for that!  How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, 
DOS JONES!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.  Maybe TMM 
EXPERIMENTS 103's TURTLE NEMESIS is one of those guys who likes pain, or something.  
That's what he'll get next week, after challenging up 27 to DOS JONES.  Sometimes 
what you expect to do (like in the fights) doesn't expect to turn out like you 
thought.  TURTLE NEMESIS won victory over DOS JONES.  It don't make sense.   
     Warriors of ZENSU unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Is it my 
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  To die so young, so 
gloriously!   
     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
