                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Appalachia? "A term for areas in the Appalachian Mountains of the eastern US that 
exhibit long-term poverty and distinctive folkways." Poverty? Who says poverty? I am 
rich! I am Duelmaster. And I advise y'all to leave it like that and avoid me. You will 
be glad you did.
     Texas Red tried. Texas Red fought well. Texas Red lost. Perhaps one could say 
Texas Red is impoverished? I don't think so. 
     Stay cool.

                                          -- Appalachia, DMI

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
ARKERS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  THE OUTLAWS 2 turned their 2-2-0 turn 
into a 6th place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you get 
put on hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see RADTEEF WAZGRIM win 
a fight and gain 22 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, WANDAH SNOKRAG beat MISS APPROPRIATE 
and MISS APPROPRIATE lost 20 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And if variety is 
the spice of life, ARKERS may be getting bland, as APPALACIA stays top dog in the 
city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this?  You want to 
know what's new, don't you, ARKERS?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  ARKERS, 
I am losing what little hope I had in you.  BLOODY HAND CLAN the most avoided team?  
What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who led the way in this mass act of 
cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was THE OUTLAWS 2.  Ha ha ha ha!  
MAGNETIC WOMBAT was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster.  Now was the 
DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  And we have GUIGRIM MORRUNT in a challenge, going 
down 10 points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought GUIGRIM MORRUNT showed great 
skill and promise when he was overcame by MODEL T.  All right, so I slept through it! 
Big deal!   
     Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and 
gone, and get to see if their team cared.  SMITHSONIAN has cause to pause today, as 
BUNKER HILL was sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of 
moods, I'll wager.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate 
catches up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Just wait 'till next time I show up 
here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need 
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
