                             Notes from the arena champ.

All of Kati-Tei, As we know a building without duct work is a building without 
central air. When I beat metal and cut metal I know that a warrior who stands before 
me will get cut. We Duct Men fear not a cut. As the Duel Master I fully understand why 
we Duct Men are superior to those Carpenters and electricians. I have nothing to say 
about the plumbers. I will say Carpenters are wood butchers, electricians are filthy 
broom-less workers and Plumbers only know poop runs down hill. I shall hold this 
position till my invite. Good luck to you after I leave.

                                          -- DUCT MAN

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome KATI-TEI.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Hmmmph!  I always 
thought KILLERS was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 0-0-0!  Ya gotta be 
quick on yer feet!  Keep your elbow off the table!  Thrust!  Block out the pain!  
FURIOUS FOOD is now ranked 5th with a 1-1-0 turn.  It seems so recently people were 
saying DEATH'S  ARMY was washed up, finished.  But 3-1-1 moved them up 0.  I guess 
they're washed no more...  What's with OGLCU?  He actually beat FURIOUS FOOD's GHOST 
PEPPER, and walked away with 24 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at 
PHILANTHROPISTS while they watched OGLCU clobber GHOST PEPPER.  It lost 18 points and 
got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  I'm sure KATI-TEI is excited about 
TWITTER BEEF, the new Duelmaster from FURIOUS FOOD.  (remember?)  But when you've 
seen as many as I have...  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...  The most avoided team 
was DEATH'S  ARMY.  Management must be dealin', as the boys at NAWLINS RU2 ain't 
reelin'!  DEATH'S  ARMY's mad!  How well I know the feeling of being the most 
challenged warrior, DUSTMITE!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt 
you.   
     Warriors of KATI-TEI unite.  You have only your games to lose!  I like to see 
warriors put young whippersnappers in their place.  I guess you could say DEATH'S  
ARMY'UNDEAD CAT WOMAN did just that.  Right WRATHMEN 25-41?  Here's some advice:  
study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  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.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
