                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I defeat the Convicted Assassin, a wuss if I ever saw one, and for THIS, they
make me Duel2Dudette?  Ridiculous.

                                      Mellita

                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  NIANIA needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  MVP award for MARI 
COY?  THE GOLDEN FISH's proud of her after beating AMBITIOUS GUARD and getting 16 
points.  Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular gal in all NIANIA.  
She got the most challenges.  (But what about proposals?) And I was just getting used 
to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome SCARDY CAT.  Aren't ARENA 
FELINES proud.  (Oh, my.) Who was the wiseguy that said NIANIA's Duelmaster was 
paying for drinks at Jim's Tap Room?  Don't look at me!   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Hey you guys, don't you think your 
families would like to hear from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I gotta leave.  NIANIA is like such a dump, and you guys smell 
too much!  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Old personals:

Loud George -- Get a muffler, man.  You're a menace. -- Spike McGold

The Userous Merchant?  We have only one?  What are the others practicing, then, if it
isn't usery?  Just plain old price-gouging? -- Mellita

Somebody's been feeding the Fratsfa Slave (who is actually Illisni) meat, and I
disapprove of it. -- Mellisande

Ed -- What's the deal with "Force of Five Three"?  Does that mean there are fifteen
of you?  I call that overdoing it, bub. -- Golden Shark

This Mordant Deserter is a wimp. -- Mari Coy

Current personals:

Loud George -- You again!  Go away. -- Spike McGold

Ambitious Guard?  Whoopee-do. -- Mellisande

Ed -- There's barely enough of you to make a mouthful. -- Golden Shark

And the Persistent Beggar.  Thrilling.  Is there nobody else in the arena but us and
the Force of Five 3? -- Mari Coy

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance.  In other words, you have to choose!  If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both.  The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example.  If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists

The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the
Goth and Buddy Lee.  We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our
alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
