                             Notes from the arena champ.

     It was well-fought, Eio Yue, but experience counts for a lot.  Not, apparently,
for graduating, but it does count.

                                       Grond

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of NIANIA!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  What's with SESKERINTH?  He 
actually beat HISTORICAL WUSSES' JEAN PAUL SATRE, and walked away with 16 more points 
from the fight.  Laughs were big at 042909A while they watched IGNORANT BAUD clobber 
EIO YUE.  He lost 9 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  
VENOMOUS CONCUBINE was reminded on the sands why GROND is Duelmaster.  Advice to 
fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  NIANIA thinks 042909A 
and their 26-8-1 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, give up...  In my day, 
no team with a 24-7-1 would scare me off!  What's the problem, REPTILES 'R' US?  What 
do people see in BRANDY PINKERTON?  Hers 14-10-1?  PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE ain't talkin', 
but she's got 76 points.   
     Warriors of NIANIA unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Many a warrior has 
met his fate in a hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm 
writing it before you read it.  Oh, well.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good 
skills and good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

                                     PERSONAL ADS

Lilly Pepper -- At this point, I don't care in the least whether I win or not, so
good for you! -- Gulby, heading for retirement
P.S.  Jorja says that if your manager wants to know how I came out on the graduation
notice, just ask.  But I can tell you now that I tested VERY high in Charisma.  Some
of us, well, we just HAVE it, you know?

Desmond Tutu -- Well, nobody could expect me to lose to a wuss in a tutu, no matter
how "historical" he is. -- Lorinda

Obnoxious Fan -- Huh, that could be all of 'em. -- Seskerinth, disappointed in the
dueling experience so far (led astray by some of the more successful gladiators of
his race, such as Seef Haraine, Dangerous Courtesan and Ssothiss, Asssasssin of Note,
with enemiess

Embezzling Scribes get no mercy from me. -- Helenadere
P.S.  Besides, he didn't ask.

My guess would be the first two personals last time don't belong in this arena, hmm?
None of those names are here.

Lilly -- Life is like that, or at least gladiating is.  Be glad it was just your leg!
-- Grond

Ignorant Baud -- Yeah, that was about what we thought.  Not much to grip in the team
name when trying to come up with a personal ad, but one must work with what's there.
-- Lorinda
P.S.  Numerologically, your team name reduces to 6A.

Grond -- Nice try, indeed!  If I can't beat up on you I suppose I'll give Gulby a
goodbye kiss instead.  Gotcha! -- Lilly

Ignorant Baud -- Good job, not that I'm overly fond of losing a match.  Your strategy
beat mine, darn it!  Oh and THAT's the Muffin Man.  Hello. -- Brandy

Yeah!  Wohoo!  I told you I'd win!  Suckers.  Hey can we carry bees into the fight?
Are we allowed to date anyone we want?  I'm single, ladies, yeah! -- Obnoxious Fan
aka Randy "Rad" Mann

I'm sooo tempted to have Brandy challenge Ambeedextrous but, na, I'll be good and
hope for a challenge or a random match.  You know how those spotless records drive us
managers insane. -- Gavin
