                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Wagon Driver 3, I salute you! Fine challenge and a terrific fight! BUT!!! Mr. 
Bloke keeps advising you fellas that the very best policy is to AVOID Me! I think he 
means me, you know. And the rest of our gang, of course. So, heed that wonderful 
advice.
     Not the greatest tournament (The Mailer) for me at a mere 4-3 in Adepts, but the 
10 skills I accumulated will help me, I suspect.  
     So I leave you with this: Nothing Vlad and the Almost Exactly group says can be 
trusted. After all, they are Hokies. Beware.

                                      SPY REPORT

Greetings dueling fans! No inductee to honor this week, so we once again focus on the 
undefeated 3 time Duelmaster sitting on the throne. So let's handicap the challengers. 
Stone Henge...really, I'm sorry Purple Sage, I doubt your aging relic of a warrior has 
a prayer. Brine Suspect...One tough son of a.. just might be able to hold up against 
the onslaught. I say 50/50 chance. Lastly Warius... Visionist has him on a 6 fight win 
streak, but I just don't see it. Enough speculating, let's find out what really 
happened.

Thirteen teams in the rankings, with 3 inactive and one new guild POKE' MON and 
Destitute Noble and his Arcane Pharmacy returning for some post tourney prep. Welcome. 
From that we have 21 fights on the lists, four Dark Arena fights, five challenge 
fights and 12 random commission matchups. Let's get the deaths out of the way. Upstart 
POKE' MON utilized the warrior recycling program for 3 and surprise surprise, the 
Bloke used it for one as well. He finally found one to avoid himself.

Now the fight for the title fight came down to defending champ CANCER of AVOID ME! 
challenging WARIUS of MID EARTH and surprise surprise, the Bloke's swaggering warrior 
easily overpowered Visionist's hyped warrior in a 1 minute title fight. All Hail our 4 
time undefeated champ, CANCER! In my "Fight of the Week," newcomers ASTRA of 
DARKATHIAS' DEMONS fought POX of AVOID ME! and Darkathias' stellar warrior viciously 
subdued the Bloke's diseased warrior in a 2 minute gory amateur's competition. Well 
fought to you both.

In team news, yeah it says PIE, but we actually have a tie for the top spot, despite 
Visionist and his MID EARTH crew having a 4-1-0 result. Purple Sage and his BLACK 
KELTS managed a 2-3-0 record to pull them even. Rounding out the top 3 is Master Beru 
and his ARMY OF DARKNESS, recording a 3-1-0. The Team on the Move goes to newcomer 
POKE' MON, who gained 49 points. The Most Avoided Team goes to none other than the 
Bloke and his Avoid ME! hooligans who had 7 avoids. Next closest is Darkathias and his 
demons, who had 4 avoids.

Remaining challenge fights...

STONE HINGE of BLACK KELTS challenged BRINE SUSPECT of BLUE HERRINGS, with Purple 
Sage's megalithic warrior being devastated by Blue's salty warrior in a quick 1 minute 
brawl.

SUE CHEF of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged LITTLE FISHY of BLUE HERRINGS, with Master 
Beru's culinary warrior defeating Blue's dubious warrior in a exciting 1 minute bloody 
struggle.

ERRATIC EDUCATOR of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged PRETTY ALRIGHT of BLUE HERRINGS, with 
Master Beru's volatile warrior overcoming Blue's hunky-dory warrior in a 2 minute 
expert's fight. Why was everyone picking on Blue's Fishy bunch?

END OF BIDET of ALMOST EXACTLY challenged GRAKUS of MID EARTH, with Vlad's ballzee 
warrior being vanquished by Visionist's mysterious warrior in a 1 minute duel.

In individual achievements:
The Biggest Winner is ZAGRID of MID EARTH, who gained 15 points.
The Biggest Loser is APOSTATE POSTMAN of ARMY of DARKNESS, who lost 13 points.
This Week's Favorite is TALONCYCLOVIR of ARCANE PHARMACY.

Well, no new invites again, 'Til next time's fall harvest festival.
