                             Notes from the arena champ.

Yup, me again. I wiggled and jiggled and Commander Powle just plain succumbed. Some 
people are sooooo easy. Some people just can't take their eyes off my pasties. Sheesh! 
What is this world coming to? Buncha deviants, but it sells.

I have plenty of skills beyond my appearance. I think you should consider taking me 
on. (For a price, of course.) Do you have a need? I await.

                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Nothing is certain in TOBIR, with changing loyalties, changing 
Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--ANYTHING GOES.  What's a move up by 3 
you ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, according to SAXON. 
SAXON had cause to celebrate, after SONG OF EVIL got 23 points by beating CIVILIZED 
CRIMINAL.  SILENT MAJORITY certainly had a baffled expression on hers face, after 
losing to CRPL MAX KLINGER and losing 12 points in the process!  Those who hoped for 
a new Duelmaster were disappointed by SNEELY, of THE DOGHOUSE, who despite a 15-18-0 
couldn't overcome TOBIR's Number 1.  So who was the warrior seen charging into 
immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     So much to report, so little time!  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of THE DOGHOUSE, alone and unchallenged.  As a 
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of SAGE SOLDIERS, so did that sorry team 
shy from THE DOGHOUSE If challenges were horses, LT KERRI STRUG could open up a fast 
food joint!   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Oh hard!  that to 
strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my 
control, I must take my leave of this place.  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- 
Novgorodny Vir
