                             Notes from the arena champ.

The gods have blessed me above all others!  When Rosy Fingered Dawn shed her light 
into my chamber, lo, there was a scroll with an invitation upon it. The Lady of the 
Isle has seen fit to acknowledge my worth as a warrior as well as a fellow goddess. I 
am off to join her, to help her prepare for the coming invasion.

Fare thee well, Amen-Tei, and may the gods guide your blows straight and true!

                         -- Calypso, Duelmistress, Goddess, and Lord Protector

The Neon Odyssey may be coming to an end soon. Calypso deserved to be on the Isle of 
the Eye, but the rest are questionable. Perhaps they can earn a continuance by 
continuing to win. We shall see.

                                      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.  OLD WOMEN now holds the crown and 
they are betting they can keep it.  Coming up with a solid 1-0-0 outing, LIBATIONS 3 
has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  Advancing in the rankings was OLD WOMEN who 
went from last turn's 17-8-1, to this week's record of 21-9-1.  Well, if ya don't 
shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  CALYPSO did not fight this 
week so hers title was forfeit.  It's a proud day for the NEON ODYSSEY stable, as 
their warrior, DESMODEUS, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  4 out of 5 gladiators 
surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the AMEN-TEI arena.  And hey, 
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid OLD WOMEN, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does 
AMEN-TEI really have that many liars?  For those of you who like math, try this one:  
OLD WOMEN + Weapons That go Boom = THE SAND TRAP + Avoid City.  Well dang howdy, but 
if challenges were votes, TRASH would be president.  Although it may be a contest it 
doesn't want to win.  In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, SCYLLA went after 
CHENRESIG, who was higher by 22 points.  Well, when the dust settled, SCYLLA defeated 
CHENRESIG.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  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 AMEN-TEI 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.  Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The
