                             Notes from the arena champ.

I want to thank my mom and dad and my uncles and aunts, and my granny and gramps, and 
my cousins, and all my friends and supporters who helped me get to the top of Aruak 
City. I will do you proud.

                                      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.  Say good-bye 
to THE BLUES, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the ROHAN stable.  
Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, ROHAN has advanced 4 places in the rankings.  
THE MYRMIDONS is no joke as it posted a 3-1-1 week advancing from 6th place to 3rd 
place.  Hey everybody, watch out for BLUE FLINT, who flew up 20 points in the 
rankings after mashing POLYDAMAS like a melon.  Keep your eye on this gal.  Ya know, 
some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  POLYDAMAS was bested by BLUE 
FLINT and drops 17 points.  The most challenged warrior this week was STEAK-UM.  If 
this keeps up, our Duelmaster's going to need more avoids!  Well here's a duelmaster 
that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'!  STEAK-UM made a challenge against 
AISLING NOON this week.  In front of all the crowds, AISLING NOON took the 
Duelmaster's crown for hers own.  I give the bum two weeks.  4 out of 5 gladiators 
surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ARUAK CITY arena.  And 
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid THE BLUES, please raise you hand.  Wow.  
Does ARUAK CITY really have that many liars?  For those of you who like math, try 
this one:  THE BLUES + Weapons That go Boom = BULLDOGS + Avoid City.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, CORAL COCKROACH 
was mashed by DANNIL LEWIN, who let CORAL COCKROACH know that killing members of THE 
RED HAND is a no-no.  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time is a 
very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud 
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster
