                             Notes from the arena champ.

I have to give thanks to Alan Jackson for giving me a shot at the throne. I mean, I 
DID expect him to put up some semblance of resistance, but apparently that country 
moonshine took its toll. He had a lot of trouble just staying on his feet. You had a 
nice run, Alan.

I am surprised to be the week's favorite warrior as well, given how short that title 
fight was. Maybe they just really liked seeing a fight for the throne. Or maybe the 
fact that EVERY fight last turn was over in a minute had something to do with it.  
(Yes, every single fight.) Yet, somehow a warrior with a losing record and less fights 
is more popular than me? That must be a clerical error.

It's nice to see that Neon Gratitude is getting the respect we deserve. Most avoided 
indeed! Those Country boys want more time with the cows?  Doesn't look like there's 
many contenders for the throne this next turn. Seems probable I will be visiting the 
red light district to see what Jade has to offer. We shall see who comes out on top.

Until next time, Lyratilan, I remain eternally grateful! And may the gods guide your 
blows straight and true!

                                      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.  SAXON now holds the crown and they 
are betting they can keep it.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was SCARLET, 
who dropped 2 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with KILLING 
GROUND.  It's a proud day for the WORKING GIRLS stable, as their warrior, JADE, 
ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get 
a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the LYRATILAN arena.  And 
hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid NEON GRATITUDE, please raise you hand.  
Wow.  Does LYRATILAN really have that many liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but 
catch GONE COUNTRY's act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at 
running from NEON GRATITUDE.  JULIUS CAESAR of ANCIENT WARRIORS had better have a 
good reason for challenging down 13 points in a challenge which he lost.  I thought 
JULIUS CAESAR showed great skill and promise when he was overcame by BATTALIONS.  All 
right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they 
will say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     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
