                             Notes from the arena champ.

"Kokomo is not a real place, but a name that originated from the Mamas and the Papas. 
The Beach Boys wrote a hit song about taking a trip to this imaginary island in the 
Caribbean, inspired by the movie Cocktail."

But, indeed, it is a real place:

The city of Kokomo was named after the Miami man Ma-Ko-Ko-Mo, said to have been one of 
the four sons of Chief Richardville, last of the chiefs of the Miami people.Tradition 
holds that David Foster, the "Father of Kokomo," named the town Kokomo after the 
"ornriest Indian on earth" because Kokomo was "the ornriest town on earth. 

Kokomo is also FIVE time Duelmaster of Rodeki!

                                          -- Homer, Mgr. Mi Casa

                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to RODEKI once again!  Ya gotta be quick on yer feet!  Keep your 
elbow off the table!  Thrust!  Block out the pain!  GRECIAN FORMULA is now ranked 7th 
with a 1-2-0 turn.  What's with NACHI?  It actually beat DELVERS' BUCKET, and walked 
away with 17 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at BOOK OF CHANGE while 
they watched NACHI clobber BUCKET.  He lost 7 points and got bruised from objects 
thrown from the stands.  Try as he might, LADDER wasn't good enough at persuading 
KOKOMO to step down from the Duelmaster's throne...  I suppose you want to hear some 
rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  The most avoided team 
was DIAMOND LINGO.  In my day, no team with a 87-87-6 would scare me off!  What's the 
problem, MI CASA?   
     Warriors of RODEKI unite.  You have only your games to lose!  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.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
