Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, STONE-BLIND CUSTOM's 3rd moved them up to 1-0-0 place. What's with SONNY? It actually beat VALAMANTIS' PERSISTENT BEGGAR, and walked away with 17 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at DARK AGES while they watched D'ARCANE clobber SPEEDY GONZALES. He lost 8 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. QUINCY OLIVER was reminded on the sands why OVERGROWN ERROR is Duelmaster. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! 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, SATAN'S CLERGY! In my day, no team with a 7-3-0 would scare me off! What's the problem, STONE-BLIND CUSTOM? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, NANCY PRUITT! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Warriors of VALAMANTIS unite. You have only your games to lose! How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go... 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 DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME OVERGROWN ERROR 5231 17 11 0 101 STONE-BLIND CUSTOM (514) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NANCY PRUITT 5260 23 18 1 94 MIDDLE WAY 10 (420) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SINMASTER 5266 7 3 0 83 SATAN'S CLERGY (519) K2 2181 15 15 1 82 DARK AGES (256) QUINCY OLIVER 5259 17 25 0 76 MIDDLE WAY 10 (420) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME D'ARCANE 2598 8 6 1 54 DARK AGES (256) SPEEDY GONZALES 5291 5 22 0 37 MIDDLE WAY 10 (420) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME QUASIMODO 5339 3 1 0 20 DARK AGES (256) SONNY 5329 1 0 0 17 PLAYHOUSE III (528) -PROPUS 5325 1 0 0 13 GEMINI (527) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
