                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Finally took the throne back right before I leave.
     Well, 1 more round ahead of me before I graduate.
     And per usual my Manager will be sending me to the Dark Arena to send some
monster screaming back into hell.

     It was a great stay around here.

Censorship

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for MUGSY, who flew up 21 points in the rankings after mashing BATIATUS 
like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk 
out on the sands.  BATIATUS was subdued by MUGSY and drops 16 points.  Well here's a 
duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'!  CENSORSHIP made a Dark 
Arena Challenge against STONE GOLEM this week.  The crowds were amazed this turn, as 
STONE GOLEM killed the Duelmaster, CENSORSHIP, leaving ABOMINATION in mourning.  This 
incredible death has allowed, I might add, SCARFACE from THE CLUB to ascend to the 
throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy.  4 out of 5 gladiators 
surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that THE MOONDOGS was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of THE MOONDOGS' warriors, I'm not surprised!  For those of you who 
like math, try this one:  THE MOONDOGS + Weapons That go Boom = EVERYDAY PEOPLE + 
Avoid City.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Knowing when to use the right 
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in KOLACT have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been 
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Ann Orexia -- Thanks for helping me into position to take the throne from my
teammate. -- (Fat Girl) Thong...err Trog

Jigga -- I think I ran into your brother Jogga the other morning out running.  You
might want to join him cause you sure aren't any good at this gladiator thing. --
Batiatus

Monzar Orbisar -- How embarrasing for you.  Almost killed by a TP. -- Dora T. Explora

Gaevahn Naelle -- Oops!  Guess I don't know my own strength. -- Human Centipede

Censorship -- If I do that, it might get broken!  Or at least scratched. -- Iayelle
Orbin

Batiatus -- "Falling down" is in lesson ten of the Be A Gladiator By Mail course.  I
haven't gotten to it yet. -- Monzar Orbisar

Our congratulations to Censorship. -- Jorja and the Moondogs

Addai -- Snakes.  Ugh.  I hate 'em. -- Iayelle Orbin

Censorship -- I did *try* to hit that icky snake with my weapon, but it dodged!  That
shouldn't be allowed! -- Iayelle

El Presidente -- Oh, huh, I thought you'd be an Abomination.  You *are* in many ways.
-- Deimoon Farr

Dora T. Explora -- But I don't *have* the map!  I set it down somewhere, and... it
wasn't there when I went back to look.  And I'm nearly sure I remembered the right
place to look in. -- Monzar Orbisar
P.S.  I bet if we teamed up instead of fighting each other, we could find a NEW map.

Mugsy -- How annoying of you. -- Eutherine Planeda
P.S.  I was hoping for a gentleman with whom I could go treasure hunting.  I found
this map just lying around, you see....

Human Centipede -- You're right, you are an abomination.  Although I think your
response was extreme for a simple refusal to knit you "socks all around." -- Gaevahn
Naelle
