Notes from the arena champ.
Aljafir Agitators
The View from the Top is Spectacular!
Hammer warned me about not getting overconfident and to Learn as Many Skills as
Possible while I am up here!
He once had an Aimer in DM 49 Vithicar who was 17-0 that was Killed by a Renegade
Striker on a Challenge Not Avoided and Long Nose Gar of Vicious Fish was the name of
the Aimer that Hammer was managing back years ago!
LNG probably had more Fight Experience than I do at the present time! Hammer also
told me about his friend Noachian who has a knack of Killing Hammer warriors!
Looks like he has one lurking in the Challenger Champions and yet Hammer still allows
me to run on Maintenance and not Challenge or Avoid to see if I can Survive the
Experience!
Gold is being wagered on whether or not I am able to Graduate before John Wayne
Hammer or Quick Dead Hammer over in Rodeki Arena!
Hammer says he can retire from the game with Great Contentment after an Aimer gets
Graduated, but do not use that as an Excuse to Kill Me to keep Hammer active!
Special Thanks goes out to all those Managers, Warriors and RSI Stand Ins [did I ever
match up with one of them?] that have made it possible for me to declare my thoughts
so freely from this DM Throne Forum!
Hopefully I not only Survive, but have the opportunity to address you Aljafir
Agitators next cycle from this same DM Throne Forum!
The Ever Seductive
AIM SEDUCE HAMMER
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt ALJAFIR will ever be the same. And let's see, SPARTAN fought LAMPARD and
gained 18 points and contributed to KILLING MACHINE's 1-0-0. LAMPARD has lost to
SPARTAN, falling 7 points, while helping make HEROESANDFOUNDONES a 2-3-0 turn.
FORCAS challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone AIM 4 ISLE
HAMMERZ's warrior. And all eyes were on FORCAS this turn as he ascended to the
throne of Duelmaster. ALJAFIR has a new victor! Can someone confirm a rumor for me?
I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Vile Vizier until
they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the FIELDS OF ELYSIUM stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on ALJAFIR, what are you afraid of? And avoiding
FIELDS OF ELYSIUM more than any other team we find STEEL WOLVES. ALJAFIR, are we
going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice that
YELLOW ORC from HEROESANDFOUNDONES was ALJAFIR's most challenged warrior this turn.
Well now, what do you expect when someone like NOVELLUS from FIELDS OF ELYSIUM
challenges down 16 points to fight ROONEY of HEROESANDFOUNDONES? It pains me to see
warriors take advantage of the system like this. NOVELLUS defeated ROONEY, as if it
surprises anyone. In a brave attempt, ARTEMIDORUS from FIELDS OF ELYSIUM challenged
up 23 points to fight VIOLET ORC from the HEROESANDFOUNDONES stable. ARTEMIDORUS
perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he bested VIOLET ORC and ended up with 56
recognition points.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. The Vile Vizier declares a free round for COLOSSUS and all of STEEL WOLVES,
for having revenged BALANCE OF TERROR's NYNAEVE HAXAN for killing one of their
comrades. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, ALJAFIR, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in ALJAFIR and I've a long
road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in ALJAFIR again, farewell--

Wendol Varn -- You are a lucky bugger. I had that fight won and you know it! --
Forcas
Aim Bitter Hammer -- Ouch! You hurt! -- Maxa Smashu
Aim Reduce Hammer -- I just wasn't into it this turn. Maybe next time I'll fight
better. -- Hexim Hsidar
Steel Wolves -- My Lord Kjarran requires sacrifices. Your fighters are just the
thing He needs. Oh, and that was such a bloody way to go too! Yuck! -- Nynaeve
Haxan
Forcas -- You whale! I'll turn you to blubber, see if I don't! -- Wendol Varn
P.S. Good try, though.
Varr -- That bit at the end, where I said I really hurt? It was TRUE. You were
incredibly unkind to me, which, I suppose, is what you were SUPPOSED to do. Thanks
for not killing me, and I hope to use that skill on YOU one of these days. It'd
serve you right. -- Stelra Tirins
Aim Seduce Hammer -- At this minute, I totally don't care about losing that fight. I
"get" to win or lose one more, and then...RETIREMENT! Looking forward to it. --
Erbin Frorlin
P.S. Low/very low? Eeep!
Ha! Only M. Chardinee had the courage to see me off! Because he cared enough to
show up, I allowed him to win. It isn't like it matters to ME, after all. --
Straight Line
I believe that what the Venomous Concubine needs is some good dental work and
mouthwash. There's really no need for all this venom. -- Vinn Wulf
Forcas -- (with insufferable smugness) It isn't what you do, it's who you know.
Or...what you know ABOUT them. Trust me, the arenamaster is glad to see me going.
He hasn't been walking a... Straight Line

All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
