                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I don't think it is a surprise that I again sit on this throne.  There should be
no Royal surprises.  It is a birthright.  It is my due.  I shall leave you with one
of my most famous moments....
     "Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.  'Tis a tale full of sound and fury, told by an
idiot, signifying nothing."  Clearly I am more than a wonderful gladiator.  Clearly.
               Lady Macbeth

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  He who laughs last didn't get the joke.  
Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe YAKUZA.  Last week they got 0-0-0 to drop by 
4!  Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) 
as Z GLADIATORZ can attest...  Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, 
but BLOOD RITES will tell you 24-15-2 is nothing to laugh at...  Practice pays for 
DWARF FIRE HAMMER, who pummelled HUSK, to pocket 17 points.  HUSK certainly had a 
baffled expression on hers face, after losing to DWARF FIRE HAMMER and losing 15 
points in the process!  Well, Duelmaster LADY MACBETH Bloodfeuded LEVIATHAN's 
MARSHMALLOW.  Is a 19-6-0 good enough?  Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were 
disappointed by MARSHMALLOW, of LEVIATHAN, who despite a 8-14-2 couldn't overcome 
ARKERS' Number 1.  Word has it one team in ARKERS is taking speech lessons to try to 
bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     And how sociable are ARKERS' warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like a horde of 
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in ARKERS avoid ACID FIRE 
HAMMERZ.  As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of SMITHSONIAN, so did 
that sorry team shy from ACID FIRE HAMMERZ Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, 
and FEORDIS INK is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't MIDDLE WAY 11 
proud!  FEORDIS INK found himself challenged by a warrior 23 below:  NYTHIA.  NYTHIA 
of PENUMBRAL MISTS kept hers wits as she overcame FEORDIS INK.   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Ponder the 
possibilities, ARKERS:  LA PENTARCHIE has allowed TIMBER WALKER of NORTHERN BADLANDS 
to kill MORE MOORE unchallenged!  Is there no honour left???  Justice was served as 
LADY MACBETH fought MARSHMALLOW in bloodfeud.  Well done, SMITHSONIAN!  Oh hard!  
that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling 
may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character.  Can anything compare to the 
pleasure of writing Spyreports for ARKERS?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- 
Novgorodny Vir

Mountain Troll -- Thank you very much for ending my mental and physical anguish. --
Zippety

Morg -- No need.  Consider me peeled! -- Zippety (now mostly Doo Dah)

Burps Fire Hammer -- You Cad.  You will not get away with that.  No.  Killing an
undefeated?  Your boss is turning into an outright supporter of death in the arena.
How uncouth!  And to think we welcomed you to Arkers? -- The Z Man

Morg Potts -- Thanks for being there for me.  Somebody had to win from this motley
team! -- Zinger

Lady Macbeth -- When do MY guys get a chance at you? -- The Z Man

Blackheart -- We continue on our trail to success. -- War Bond

Skunk -- Whew!  Who'd a thunk it?  Your spray must not have been working.  Thank the
gods! -- Pearl Harbor

Nythia -- Thanks for the dance.  Perhaps next time I shall read you poetry? -- Lord
Byron

Ol' Griz -- Well, you gave it your all.  It was a pleasure. -- Lady Macbeth

Good bye to all; the great Royalty of The Isle calls.  I shall answer.  I shall most
likely retire and pass the gauntlet to Hamlet or Othello. -- Lady Macbeth

Blackstorm (the Manager) -- You are valued.  We will await and welcome your return.
-- Curator, Smithsonians

Le Pentarque -- Nooooooooo!  Not you?!  Come on back.  We are enjoying this. --
Curator

Den/Big Lake Outcasts and All -- I know this is a Free Blades arena, but your 3-3-1
aimer downchallenging my 0-1-0 fighter is kind of lame, don't you think?  I have no
problem with managers challenging me, but if you are downchallenging me then expect
massive downchallenges on my part against your team.  It might not be the next turn,
or the turn after that, but sooner or later you will be a victim.  And once on my
list, your team will remain there. -- Slade and Eternal Abyss

For those interested in the most recent Consortium warriors "moving on"....

     Curator and The Z Man

Sohei -- Great fight.  I'll take any win I get from you guys. -- Elixir

Bull Frog -- And I thought you would be easy. -- Bruiser

Lord Byron -- Or just the more experienced. -- Elixir

Lord Byron -- There's only so much ducking and dodging a girl can do.... -- Nythia

Ugly Kidd -- You thought YOU were ugly *wry grin*.  Still, it served its purpose. --
Morngrym
P.S.  I apologize beforehand to Sun-Fe, as our bloodfeud is a bit unbalanced.  Still,
I'm not likely to kill you *shrug*.

Fairy Fire Hammer -- I thank the gods that you're not exceptionally strong, otherwise
I might be dead!  Hard fought, Hammerling. -- Oniromancer

Fatal Flaw ... awaiting reconstruction. -- Malborgia V

A final salute to Lady Macbeth, Duelmaster.  Somehow I don't think you'll be missed
though *rueful laugh*. -- Michael Eldritch

Bushido Master -- Well fought with Malborgia, so understand that I hold you no ill-
will.  Morngrym will attempt to establish honor's due with Sun-Fe, as he's a much
"safer" fighter than my other two current choices.  Besides, he's usually a good
teacher. -- Michael Eldritch

Zanzibar's Ghost -- Endurance may be your thing, but I prefer life to be mine
*wince*. -- Morngrym
P.S.  Michael said he spotted you in the Double-X, so perhaps you're not REALLY dead.
It's a thought.

Farewell, Le Pentarque.  You're not leaving elsewhere I presume. -- Michael

Hammer -- Turn fee problems in No-Tourney; not intentional and I should be back now.
-- Michael, mgr. Zeitgeist

Sun-Ne -- Gotta watch out for that old "sun on the knees" problem.  You can get the
fiercest freckles! -- Indior Landis

Timber Walker -- Damn.  You just snuck up on me like a moving bush or something.  One
minute I was alone in the arena, the next minute this...walking tree or something is
hitting me upside the head, and other places, and I'm losing the fight.  Some days,
it just doesn't pay to get up. -- Feordis Ink

Lin Minmei -- Ah, er.  (draws in the sand with his toe)  Um. -- Imber Lack
P.S.  Dinner?

Zinger -- Well, that's a zippity-do-debacle. -- Morg Potts

Dwarf Fire Hammer -- Amazing!  They actually have you listed as a dwarf!  How did you
do it? -- Kerbin Notts

And that wraps up an oh-fer turn for us.  Maybe we won't go home tonight, there's
sure to be a lecture. -- the Middle Way

Lady Huntsman and Lady Macbeth -- While you are both ravishingly beautiful, it is in
quite different ways.  We can't help noticing. -- Feordis Ink
P.S.  And our congratulations to Lady Macbeth, as well.

Zippety -- Managers have no compassion. -- Morg Potts

Unholy Terror -- I noticed that. -- Indior Landis

Blackheart -- At least, not without mustard. -- Krbin Notts

Kammerfel -- I'll even buy you a cup of coffee. -- the Politest Beggar

9 July 2007
I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately.  If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good.  So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet).  If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos.  We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S.  If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
