                             Notes from the arena champ.

While we at TEABAG prefer to let our actions do the talking, I'm Twitter Beef.  I will 
not be silenced!

Duct Man -- You might want to "construct" yourself some better armor.  You need it.

Philanthropists -- Super impressed with OGLCU's training.  I still hate him, but I'm 
impressed with how much he was able to learn from me.  Just wish he taught better.

Master Beru -- Kharadmon says hello, and he'll be seeing you soon. I'd have challenged 
you myself, if only you were ranked higher.  Wish I could say I hope to see you soon, 
but Ghost Pepper is eager to get a shot at you.  So we'll see.

                                          -- Twitter Beef
                                             Petty King

P.S. What the heck does "OGLCU" mean?

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail KATI-TEI!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as NAWLINS RU2 is pushed out 
of top team by DEATH'S  ARMY, who came from 2nd with a 2-2-0 this turn.  
PHILANTHROPISTS stable has parlayed this turn's 2-2-0 into a 3 space move up the 
rankings.  This brings them up to 3rd place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, 
KAMBULJAN fought TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE and gained 20 points and contributed to TREE OF 
WOE's 2-2-0.  BROKEN BRAKE LINE has lost to DUCT MAN, falling 12 points, while 
helping make DEATH'S  ARMY a 2-2-0 turn.  Defending his title for another turn, 
TWITTER BEEF kept PHILANTHROPISTS' warrior, OGLCU, from claiming the throne.  By the 
way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The 
Welcome Wench?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the KILLERS stable 
was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on KATI-TEI, what are you afraid of?  And 
guess who avoided KILLERS stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was NAWLINS RU2.  
Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was PHILANTHROPISTS' warrior 
JASO.  More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!  SAINTS of 
NAWLINS RU2 had better have a good reason for challenging down 9 points in a 
challenge which he lost.  I thought SAINTS showed great skill and promise when he was 
subdued by TOOTHLESS COUGAR.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  Is it really true that KATI-TEI has 
more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in KATI-TEI and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in KATI-TEI again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe
