                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Me? Duelmaster at 78 political points? Seems rather misappropriated. Sort of like 
the Somali billion dollar heist, or the lack of naming Notre Dame into the NCAA 
championship playoffs, or a Sandy choosing the poorest RU sheets for poor ole 
Consortium.
     Hey! I was DM at 96 points when I whacked that Kung-Fu guy, and that was 
seemingly appropriate. But ..... 78 points?  But, I am going to take it without 
another word about it.
     However, I am asking the Trump team to investigate the RSI sub-RU hoax. What's my 
poor old boss to do, eh?        
                                          -- Creve Coeur, DMII

                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to RODEKI once again!  Biff!  Pow!  RODEKI watched with glee as 
SAXON got knocked off top spot by MI CASA!  What's with SNOOP DOGG?  He actually beat 
MI CASA's EVANSVILLE, and walked away with 22 more points from the fight.  Major 
screwup at SAXON.  QUEEN OF HEARTS lost 7 points to VESTALLA.  Some new strategies, 
perhaps?  Maybe QUEEN OF HEARTS will provide more easy wins...  Try as she might, 
ZORA YOUNG wasn't good enough at persuading CREVE COEUR to step down from the 
Duelmaster's throne...  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  How well I know the 
feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, GRECIAN 
FORMULA!  In my day, no team with a 28-34-1 would scare me off!  What's the problem, 
MI CASA?  What do people see in BUCKET?  His 8-15-0?  DELVERS ain't talkin', but he's 
got 42 points.   
     Warriors of RODEKI unite.  You have only your games to lose!  EVANSVILLE, with 
hers forgettable 5-5-1,  was put to death by SNOOP DOGG in a forgettable match.  MI 
CASA didn't seem to mind very much.  Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover 
stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  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
