The younger ones may call me Olaf Modeen. I return to SNOWBOUND once again! Bein' on top is great while it lasts, SIGMA NU'S. But how many friends do you have now? What's with BEEMIM? He actually beat SNOWBOUND's EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight. Major screwup at SIGMA NU'S. MARK lost 2 points to DANGEROUS CRIMINAL. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe MARK will provide more easy wins... VIOLA WING was reminded on the sands why RARE BREED is Duelmaster. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go... Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RARE BREED 4110 16 1 0 189 2215 BOURBON ST (437) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VIOLA WING 4037 16 45 1 94 MIDDLE WAY 6 (368) JANICE KOLE 4087 15 19 0 91 MIDDLE WAY 6 (368) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -FLOYD COUNCIL 4130 7 7 0 82 THE BLUES 50 (439) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PERRY REESE 4094 13 19 0 63 MIDDLE WAY 6 (368) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -BLACK ACE 4131 11 3 0 54 THE BLUES 50 (439) JOSEKI KO 2959 7 9 1 51 SIGMA NU'S (328) BIG JIM 2956 5 11 0 44 SIGMA NU'S (328) -DOCTOR CLAYTON 4132 10 4 0 43 THE BLUES 50 (439) JACK DEATH 2955 5 11 1 43 SIGMA NU'S (328) MARK 2958 10 6 0 42 SIGMA NU'S (328) ALVIN 4141 6 6 1 38 SIGMA NU'S (328) -GUS CANNON 4129 6 8 0 35 THE BLUES 50 (439) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -EDDIE MAPP 4146 8 1 0 25 THE BLUES 50 (439) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BEEMIM 4154 1 0 0 20 ERIDANUS (441) SCEPTRUM 4156 1 0 0 16 ERIDANUS (441) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
