                             Notes from the arena champ.

Another brilliant team effort! Six arena awards again, second turn in a row. I guess 
it does make it easier when nobody else is running a full team. Only ten active 
warriors last turn, and five of them were Neon Jocks. But, still, you can only hit the 
pitches that are thrown to you, and right now, we're knocking it out of the park! [SO 
close to getting seven awards; Blitz Captain was the SECOND most popular warrior of 
the turn. I can't figure out how "Squashsquatch" could EVER be popular.]

I am still at least a couple turns away from garnering the attention of Lady Greywand. 
As long as no grizzled veteran crawls out of the dugout, I should be fine. And, Neon 
has told Blitz Captain to run interference for me. I mean, that's his JOB.  

So, until next inning, may the gods guide your bats straight and true!

                                          -- - Pinch Hitter, Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail MALCORN!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  The TRIAL BY JURY guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in 
the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, 
BAILIFF fought SLAMA-JAMA and gained 20 points and contributed to TRIAL BY JURY's 
3-0-0.  TOOTH GOLEM has lost to DANGEROUS CRIMINAL, falling 14 points, while helping 
make TEMERE NOMEN a 1-1-0 turn.  This turn PINCH HITTER challenged DANCING TROLL in 
what was MALCORN's Title bout.  The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, 
and PINCH HITTER remains MALCORN's top warrior for another turn.  Can someone confirm 
a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at Drake's 
Barbecue until they win.  Maybe?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the NEON JOCKS stable was the most avoided 
team this turn.  Come on MALCORN, what are you afraid of?  And avoiding NEON JOCKS 
more than any other team we find TRIAL BY JURY.  MALCORN, are we going to accept, or 
respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, take notice that CRIMSON TOAD from 
TEMERE NOMEN was MALCORN's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     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.  We'd like to remind certain teams 
not to rob the graves of their enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered 
rude.   
     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 MALCORN and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in MALCORN again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe
