                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Yep. Here I am again as your Duelmaster. 3 Times! That's big for us redneck 
mountaineer types. You betcha. So, this time it was a challenge from Crip's Ladies In 
Waiting Miss Construed, a formidable warrior and a tough style for this country boy. 
She tried hard, but, perhaps, I was just a little luckier. A really good fight for the 
top. A salute to Miss Construed.
     Things have worked out well for me, so far. I am entered in the Spring Mailer, 
only one short of a maxed champion. After my 6-3 in Adepts, I hope to do well, and 
come back to Arkers alive, to finish out graduation. Can I?
     Good luck to all Arkerians in the Mailer. May you bring home some trophies to 
make us all proud.

                                          -- Appalacia, DMIII

                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ARKERS.  Uncool, BROKEN SPIRITS.  I mean 
2-3-0 is bad.  Will they will be allowed to fight?  I say use 'em for training 
practice!  LADIES IN WAITING like really fought hard to move up to 3rd from 6th.  Way 
to go!  MVP award for ABILENE ANNIE?  THE OUTLAWS 2's proud of her after beating 
POLITE BEGGAR and getting 16 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  PAX THE YUGE 
got smashed by MODEL T, and lost 12 points!  Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the 
most popular gal in all ARKERS.  She got the most challenges.  (But what about 
proposals?) Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think APPALACIA should 
let BEA ZERK be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  Who was the 
wiseguy that said ARKERS' Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Dripping Blade?  
Don't look at me!   
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?  BROKEN SPIRITS was ARKERS' most 
avoided team.  Is there some award for that?  Hhmph!  What kind of warriors are THE 
OUTLAWS 2?  BROKEN SPIRITS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to 
accept an invitation!  For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out TEXAS RED 
challenged MISS MATCHED.  After all, haven't THE OUTLAWS 2 and LADIES IN WAITING had 
a long standing duel in ARKERS?  It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but MISS 
MATCHED wants me to write about it since she subdued TEXAS RED.  Satisfied?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Like, who is this gal???  MISS CONSTRUED 
gets sent to the Dark Arena, battles SHEWISH GIANT, and returns to tell of it!!!  I 
bet LADIES IN WAITING manager is surprised!  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 know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really 
should stop.  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

From:       The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To:         All Managers

In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's 
cramp, the census form has been eliminated, effective immediately.  Managers may 
register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by simply writing them on a 
separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission.  Each warrior may have 
up to 15 favorite sayings.  Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch, 
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long.  For any questions, please contact the 
Gladiatorial Commission.
