                             Notes from the arena champ.

Duelmaster again? Is that like graduating with Honors? I would like to graduate from 
Iaye also. I suspect it will be harder than the University Of Chicago was. (But 
probably safer?) 

Come and get me.

                                             -- Max, DMII

                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in IAYE this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the difference, as 
CLOWDER W/ CLAWS is pushed out of top team by HARD KNOCKS, who came from 2nd with a 
3-2-0 this turn.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to 
drown for THAT'S NOT RIGHT, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 11th.  The 
THE YOUNG ONES guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  
You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, SUPER SLOTH fought 
BACKSTABBATH and gained 16 points and contributed to SUPER COOKIE's 2-0-0.  
BACKSTABBATH has lost to SUPER SLOTH, falling 11 points, while helping make CLOWDER 
W/ CLAWS a 1-4-0 turn.  Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, MAX 
has lost the title of Duelmaster.  We should ask ELENDA about the thrill of victory, 
and what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, she's now the one to ask.  Can 
someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do 
dishes at The Wharf Rat until they win.  Maybe?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  I also notice that the CLOWDER W/ 
CLAWS stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on IAYE, what are you afraid 
of?  And avoiding CLOWDER W/ CLAWS more than any other team we find SUPER COOKIE.  
IAYE, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most challenged 
warrior this turn was CLOWDER W/ CLAWS' warrior HISS-SPIT-HIDE.  More fighters 
challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     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.  It's a dark day for LENPROS, seeing 
how MIKE from THE YOUNG ONES has not been revenged for killing ROSE OF SHARON.  The 
Wharf Rat declares a free round for VIVIAN and all of THE YOUNG ONES, for having 
revenged HARD KNOCKS' KRIEGHUND for killing one of their comrades.  Is it really true 
that IAYE has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, IAYE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in IAYE and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe
