                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well, Perry Como made me work a little to retain the throne. But, retain it I did. The 
only bad part is that he had bubkus to teach me. Still looking for those last few 
elusive skills to garner the attention of the Lady Greywand.  Six arena awards for 
Neon Scrappers last turn! We love dueling on the taxpayers' dime. This one was a true 
team effort, with three different warriors garnering individual awards. Hopefully we 
can keep it rolling like that.

And, please, don't get offended by Scrapper downchallenges. It's just about the only 
kind of challenge available for our top warriors right now.  

Until next time, may the gods guide your blows straight and true!

                                          -- Mr. Python, your slithery Dulemaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ALJAFIR.  I don't wanna hurt anybody's 
feelings or anything, but MIDDLE WAY really goofed with their 0-2-0.  The guys at TOP 
FIVE BOBS like really pulled together to get a 1-0-0 this turn, moving up by 5.  One 
team deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 0 after going 3-1-0.  Keep it up, 
ASSASSINS!  MVP award for ALIENIST?  NEON SCRAPPERS' proud of him after beating COMO 
and getting 19 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  YOU JUST LOST got smashed by 
DISTINGUISHED, and lost 12 points!  This Duelmaster is like something else!  MR 
PYTHON stopped MASON dead in his tracks!  Who was the wiseguy that said ALJAFIR's 
Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Vile Vizier?  Don't look at me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  WHEN EAGLES DARE was the most avoided team.  Is a 342-237-25 record 
really that scary?  I don't know what THE SHOWOFFS' been doing.  They certainly 
haven't been accepting many fights from WHEN EAGLES DARE, that's fer sher.  Can NEON 
SCRAPPERS' BRUZER be more popular than me?  He was challenged the most, but is that 
really the same?  WARWICK DAVIS is being unfair.  He's challenged down 35 against 
GRIMWAVE.  I don't know why they let this stuff go on.  (I'd better shut up) I was 
sorry to see such an unfair "fight" in ALJAFIR.  WARWICK DAVIS got 11 points after 
beating GRIMWAVE, 35 points below him.   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  That was so totally rude when TACO TRUCK wasted DAYWALKER.  I think all 
you warriors in ALJAFIR should gang up on WHEN EAGLES DARE!  What if they had a fight 
and nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  Remember 
you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte
