                             Notes from the arena champ.

So, my team didn't get a newsletter for this arena, we got one for Murska (that's 
arena 35 for those of you that have never heard of it). Man, if you think this arena 
is pathetic, you should take a look at that place....  Now beautiful Solven is 
growing!  Getting teams like The Republicans!  Perhaps Giuliani thought that this was 
the Four Seasons?  All we need now is an ICE team that just wear jeans and masks and 
have some of our fighters "disappeared" at any given moment. Would we really care if 
Full Blown was nabbed as he walked on the sidewalk in the middle of the day?  Hmmm.... 
basic human rights aside, he does suck but he is entertaining.  Speaking of which, it 
is ironic that Trump was sent to the Dark Arena...well, we all make bad decisions, 
sometimes more than once.  I'll pay Viva Capitalism $1 (or some Trump NFTs) if they 
name their next guy Trump and show the Republicans how it's really done.  Also, 
congratulations to Knight for getting the big invitation!  Hopefully he won't be 
challenging me to make up for the ol' Mr. Wonderful challenge...

                                          -- Your ever lovin' duelmaster, Boogeyman

                                      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.  We now have a 
new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  PROTECTORS now holds the crown and 
they are betting they can keep it.  Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, THE 
REPUBLICANS has advanced 5 places in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for 
GIULIANI, who flew up 25 points in the rankings after mashing MAPLESTING like a 
melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was 
MAPLESTING, who dropped 21 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with 
GIULIANI.  THE TIME PROPHET got through to the Duelmaster this turn.  No doubt she 
was more than anxious to kick BOOGEYMAN's tail out of the throne!  In front of all 
the crowds, THE TIME PROPHET took the Duelmaster's crown for hers own.  I give the 
bum two weeks.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the SOLVEN arena.  And hey, 
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid NEON TREES, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does 
SOLVEN really have that many liars?  For those of you who like math, try this one:  
NEON TREES + Weapons That go Boom = PROTECTORS + Avoid City.  Well dang howdy, but if 
challenges were votes, THE TIME PROPHET would be president.  Although it may be a 
contest she doesn't want to win.  In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, WIST 
went after COMING ACHOO, who was higher by 19 points.  Well, when the dust settled, 
WIST lost to COMING ACHOO.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time 
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, there's the manager of the SOLVEN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
