                             Notes from the arena champ.

Who'd a thought it?! My 2nd Title. Man, I would never have expected to be better than 
Jastrow or Rhoda, but here I am. Eat your hearts out teammates!

Actually, though, they are both better, but apparently not luckier. I will take the 
results in all modesty.

I advise everyone to read Winds Of War and War And Remembrance especially in these 
tumultuous times in which we live and because of those trying to mislead our great 
nation.

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  It was a tough 
week for ORDER OF WIND, to drop 4 places in the rankings.  Coming up with a solid 
3-2-0 outing, LOST ALDERAAN has advanced 4 places in the rankings.  Advancing in the 
rankings was THE MIDDLE WAY 4 who went from last turn's 918-1014-27, to this week's 
record of 922-1015-28.  Hey everybody, watch out for MOLLY JEFFERSON, who flew up 15 
points in the rankings after mashing BABY FACE FOSTER like a melon.  Keep your eye on 
this gal.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  BABY FACE 
FOSTER was bested by MOLLY JEFFERSON and drops 12 points.  It's a proud day for the 
THE MIDDLE WAY 4 stable, as their warrior, FLORIDA GAINES, ascended the Duelmaster's 
throne.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the LYRATILAN arena.  And 
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid THE BLUES 25, please raise you hand.  
Wow.  Does LYRATILAN really have that many liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but 
catch WINDS OF WAR's act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at 
running from THE BLUES 25.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of WASHINGTON 
VERN, who was this week's most challenged warrior.  Can any one out there say 
'weasel'?  Oh well, just saying JASTROW will do.  He challenged 36 points down to 
trash SNOOKS EAGLIN.  Definition of petty:  JASTROW defeated SNOOKS EAGLIN, a 
mismatch of 36 points.  In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, PEACHES went 
after PETER STOCK, who was higher by 24 points.  Well, when the dust settled, PEACHES 
was killed by PETER STOCK.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  For those of you who missed it, Death showed up, grabbed 
PEACHES by the ear and took her away to a place where she won't need a coat.  Carrion 
Bird Heaven:  PEACHES was slain by PETER STOCK (The true definition of 'Street 
Pizza').  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena 
with you and see what happens.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  Now that I've 
got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster
