                             Notes from the arena champ.

Ah, Arkers!

It seems that you cannot get enough of the little people, no matter how much you try.  
Sweet Revenge has moved on to exact her price from those of an even higher rank, but 
the rest of us remain to try and set things right here.  And now it is my turn to lead 
the charge, pitchfork in hand.  Technically, not a pitchfork, I suppose as the 
Commission doesn't allow those.  But trust me, they can be deadly weapons also when in 
the hands of the angry masses.  

But for now I shall simply revel in the fact that once again we have proven that even 
a peasant can rise to the top.  Indeed, I come from humble beginnings to find myself 
in this august seat.  I did find it humorous that ol' Plymouth Rock came out of his 
slumber (Do rocks slumber?  Maybe erode a bit?) just to get a shot at me.  Not so 
easy, was it?  I may not be Sweet Revenge, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve.  And 
I can stick that pitchfork in places it can hurt.  But that doesn't mean I can't be 
beat, as six others have been able to prove.  So let us see who wants to come and try 
and take this title from me.  I shall do my best to defend it -- for the honor of all 
the citizens of Arkers!

                                          Humbly, your Duelmaster,
                                          The Pitchfork Kid

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of ARKERS.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give 
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Nothing is certain in 
ARKERS, with changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top 
team--BLOODY HAND CLAN.  He who laughs last didn't get the joke.  Speaking of 
laughing at jokes, observe LITTLE DUCKS.  Last week they got 0-5-0 to drop by 5!  
Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as 
SERIOUS LEE can attest...  Good things come to those who fight well, as GHOSTWALKERS 
2 can attest, moving up by 4.  GHOSTWALKERS 2 had cause to celebrate, after GRIMM got 
24 points by beating CLYDE D'CLUB.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, PARIS 
TROUT was winsome, after beating BREAK DOWN and seeing him lose 19 points.  In 
ARKERS, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, 
DED 'ARD SKULLKRUSH.  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week 
and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from 
the lion, so did the "warriors" in ARKERS avoid BB PUBLIC TRANSIT.  Like a pup with 
its tail between its legs, THE CHOSEN scurried away from BB PUBLIC TRANSIT.  Oh, the 
shame!  Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  
Whatever it is, PUGACHEV is the most challenged warrior.  Them's the breaks, 
ACCIDENT.  Expecting fair challenges from THE CHOSEN is evidently too much to ask.  
SEHWYN STEEL slew ACCIDENT.  The whole thing leaves a bitter memory.  Take heed 
ARKERS, of the unprincipled action of JHERI BLOOMERS.  By challenging MASON-DIXON, 20 
points below it, JHERI BLOOMERS besmirches the noble art of dueling.  JHERI BLOOMERS 
won victory over MASON-DIXON with a point difference of 20.  So this is what ARKERS 
calls a duel.  This will make an interesting tale.  UGLY KIDD JOE challenged REAPER!  
Who says NORTHERN BADLANDS are just a bunch of wimps!  UGLY KIDD JOE of NORTHERN 
BADLANDS kept his wits as he subdued REAPER.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  The manager at BOOK OF THOMAS must have some new strategy for sending ACADIA 
GEM, a warrior with 4-1-0, to the Dark Arena.  Watch this space!  Death (in the form 
of SEHWYN STEEL of THE CHOSEN) knocked on ACCIDENT's door.  What will BB PUBLIC 
TRANSIT do?  The suspense is killing me.  Fair play must not be a credo of THE 
CHOSEN, as SEHWYN STEEL permanently removed ACCIDENT of BB PUBLIC TRANSIT from the 
competition in a mismatched fight.  Questions are being raised about the disposing of 
severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in ARKERS would I avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in ARKERS is the highlight of my life.  As the seasons 
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave 
this place.  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ARKERS 
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

Ads missing from the last NL. Yes, Hal blew it. He confirmed these, but didn't post 
them. We suspect it had something to do with Assur, but you know........... -- Curator

All, hope you had a fine FTF and did some damage.  The Smithsonians surely did not, 
posting only Sitting Bull's 1-3, and that after a TV last tournament. (sigh)  We are 
such slackers. -- Curator

Sweet Revenge, now THAT was a DM Column!  Well done.  We loved it.  And continued good 
luck. -- Curator

Maud, it was such a pleasure meeting.  I hope your hands aren't too bloody.  
Bwahahaha. -- Boston Tea Party

Eadskar, you were the best and you deserved the win. -- Mayflower (looking for a good 
ship refurb company)

Health. Humility. Honor. -- Curator

All, now let us all move on to personal ads for THIS NL.  Ok, Assur? -- Curator

A salute to The Pitchfork Kid, Duelmaster of Arkers.  Well done, Champ! -- Curator

Mr. Bogus, I am sorry I killed you.  Why, oh why, did you challenge me?  Are/were you 
British?  Not any more. -- Boston Tea Party

Pitchfork Kid, I challenged you, did my best and lost.  I salute you as my better. -- 
Plymouth Rock

The Shrieker, what? I couldn't hear anything.  You are too noisy.  You shouldn't be

Sure, Assur; I will explain to you about downchallenging, Andorianism, and recognition 
points.  I am always glad to help out newbies in any way I can. See, Arkers long ago 
decided to be and maintain their history of welcoming and not "picking on" newbies or 
the uninformed.  Indeed, we welcome them.  So, welcome, Assur.  Part of the 
environment is finding a way to measure relativity and the recognition system is the 
best we have in Alastari.  Anything else is all hope and gut and rationalization.  
Recognition is not perfect, but it IS something and it was chosen.  So good Andorians 
acknowledge it, they do not challenge down, but rather across or up, and they treasure 
all their associates in the arena.  You are a pretty nice guy, so I know you are 
capable of that.  We are glad to have you in Arkers.  Good luck to you. -- Curator

Audacious Lee -- That's what I'd call an audacious challenge.  The outcome could not 
have been sweeter. -- Baron Von Smash

Dan Quevos -- Betcha wish ya manaja didn't make ya challenge me.  Hur hur hur. Yoos 
hip crumpled like one of dem old peoples.  At least ya didn't cry like Demon Talon.  I 
am ready for Punk Chilsner or Cutter Crites ta blood feud. Everyone seez dat comin'.

Sweet Revenge -- Der wuzn't anythin' sweet about dat.  Good riddance, I say. -- 
Eadskar Da'Bad

Humble Lee -- Wats wit the tooth picks everywhere?  Yoos guy's manaja can't afford 
real weapons?  Hur hur hur. -- Gutsag Bakwort

Dojes -- I'm terribly sorry but one beat you, old bean, in twoh minutes.  Oh, the 
embaaarrassment of it all!  Perhaps your managah will put you ohn suicide watch.  Has 
ah waaarrior every signed himself up for the daaark aaarenah? -- Maquro Doomaxe

Punk Chilsner -- Wow, I plummeted hard.  Someone didn't want me in the Challenger 
Champions.  Until next time. -- Yrah Banewrecker

Out of Soap -- We all know it will not be you who does it. -- Sehwyn Steel

Thunder Sprite -- You were unlucky in that fight, lass.  You had no business fighting 
someone of my experience in a match-up.  I hope the experience helped you.  Next time 
I won't hold back. -- Halin Stormbreaker

Korsen -- Did you see what I did to you?  I should have done the same to Baron Von 
Smash.  At least you didn't scream "Not in the face" when I was hitting you.  As if he 
is that good looking.  Geez. -- Helga Loarwen

Kyron Fleming -- You again?  At least I lasted longer this time.  Good fight.  Now go

Standing Water -- You were not doing much standing after that fight. -- Sehwyn Steel

Assur -- Watch who call pansy!  Who do you think you are?  Sturm? -- the Chosen

Eadskar -- I give you credit for a valiant effort.  But, alas, it wasn't too be.  
Stand tall for those who need it and perhaps you will lose the moniker "da bad."  The 
world could use a few more of "da good." -- Sweet Revenge

Ugly Kid Joe -- Well, one of us has to lose to let the rest of you feel like you have 
a chance, right?  That must be what I was doing.  That certainly was ugly. -- Pugachev

They sent me a mercenary?  Of course they did.  Isn't that how "they" always try to 
keep the people down?  Hire one group to take out another.  Yet one must defend 
themselves. -- Torchbearer

Slow Drain -- Now some people might think that admitting you're a peasant is an odd 
name for a team.  But Bad Shower Stuff as a team name?  That seems much nastier.  
Honestly, find some lordling and give him a brush to clean the thing out.  It is much 
more pleasant.  You and Standing Water, a match made in straggly hair heaven. -- Clyde

In order to better service my own enjoyment, the Bash Bros Shower franchise has been 
changed to the BB Public Transit franchise.  I make no apologies for any confusion, 
because this is all about me! -- Assur

Sehwyn Steel -- Our hatred for you only grows.  I hope you get in an accident. -- 
Accident (formerly Standing Water)

Steel -- So glad I've been transformed.  The combination of you and I was just too 
mean. -- Delayed (formerly Cold)

Clyde -- That was NOT a fair fight. -- Break Down (formerly Slow Drain)

Sitting Bull -- That wasn't either, but this time in our favor. -- Standing Room Only 
(formerly Out of Soap)

Maximus Brutalus -- Sorry, we don't give refunds. -- Correct Change (formerly Rings)
