                             Notes from the arena champ.

Howdy DM 20. Local Girls Liz iz the shizz. Bio time for the non-locals.

Liz Danforth is a semi-famous graphic artist who has served her community for many 
years now. Her credits include, among others, Flying Buffalo, Wizards of the Coast, 
and many other projects.

As far as the arena goes, losing Suzie was a hard blow but at least her replacement is 
capable. Eeryone else on the squad is doing OK; hope that continues.

As for the meta score, Warwick Davis netted his 3rd TV in a row, and glad I suggested 
making it 199 bottles or this thing would be just about over.

Liz kinda backed into the DM spot, but she's good to go and ready to defend her crown.

                                             -- Liz, Local Girl

                                      SPY REPORT

The crowd is roaring, the vendors are shouting, and the blood appears to be flowing.  
THE END IS NEAR!  No, or yes, I really don't know. What I do know for sure is today is 
arena day in Seam.  Welcome back to the sands of Seam. We are a premier resort town, 
the host to an arena contest, and one of only three no-tournament games in the land. 
That makes us pretty exclusive!  I know, I know, I don't need to sell the place to you 
because you are already here.  So, let's just get into today's action and see how it 
all turned out.

Okay, let's start with the top warrior of our fair arena.  Liz Danforth asserted 
herself last turn and became our Duelmistress.  She has had a nice, meteoric rise 
through the arena rankings, so no one was surprised when Liz became our arena champ.  
She didn't get an invite though, so a title defense was in order.  Today's challenger 
was Eternal Blossom. These ladies put on a great show, and at the end of the match, 
Eternal Blossom is our newest Duelmaster!  Congrats to Blossom, who is managed by 
Master Darque.

Weirding Ways is the most avoided team, and Way of All Flesh avoided them the most.  
The Lost Sentinel's warrior, Gumbo, was the most challenged warrior.  Teepeetotaler 
got his challenge through to Gumbo, but I doubt he was happy with the result.  It took 
5 minutes, but Gumbo was victorious.  Sitting at 13-27-1, he will probably still be 
popular on the challenge card for many turns to come.

We witnessed seven deaths today, and most of them happened outside of the Dark Arena.  
For the Dark Arena fights, Hop OntheBus Gus was sent by Alfredo to test out his newly 
appointed immortality.  It worked, or at least I think it did, I just saw him packing 
for the Isle. Weirding Ways sent Shakin' for Bacon the DA as well. I think many people 
were shocked, no one more than Shakin' for Bacon.  Outside of the Dark Arena, the most 
shocking loss came when Britteny Griner put Mother-in-Law to death.  The ladies of 
Seam have been active this cycle.  I love it!

Okay, time for me to go so each of you can enjoy the rest of the arena festivities.  
The fights are over, but there are still many things to do after the gates close.  
After-party celebrations, team parties, and relaxation.  Lots and lots of relaxation!  
I know which I am going to choose . . .  you guessed it, relaxation.  I will see each 
of you next turn.  Eternal Blossom leaves after the next turn's fights, so we will 
need a new champion.  Is Blossom going to challenge someone or go to the Dark Arena?  
Come back and find out!

Alfredo -- Wow.  I didn't know that going inactive incurred such a harsh penalty.  In 
fact, as I understand it, you can now avoid teams and remain in the contest, yet, if 
you go inactive you're out even if you return?  The warm-up phase was so boring to me 
I fell asleep and napped for more than twelve turns.  On T-199, I returned for the 
meat and potatoes portion of this contest and have been abiding by the contest rules 
ever since.  I was beginning to wonder when you would wake up and take note of this.  
As far as I'm concerned I'm still participating whether you choose to acknowledge me 
or not. -- Weirdo, mgr Weirding Ways

Alfredo -- Before this gets confusing, I want to remain in the contest since you have 
changed the no-avoid rule.  As such, I avoided 2 turns for a deduction of 20 points.  
I avoided two turns ago when I had a brain fog; I avoided the last turn when I thought 
I had to withdraw from the contest.  Hopefully, there will not be any more confusion 
created by ME. -- Master Darque

Darque -- Although we appreciate your willingness to fall upon your sword, there is no 
need. You have been assessed with a 10-bottle penalty as outlined in last turn's 
newsletter, but are still more than welcome to continue competing in the contest...and 
we hope you do. -- alfredo and the rest of the Frothingslosh Syndicate

And it appears Darque was not alone: it has also come to my attention that Mr. G made 
the same error as Darque and forgot not to use avoids. He has been assessed with a 10-
bottle penalty as well. I am hoping that all the remaining managers agree that this is 
fair and it does not cause any controversy. I think a 10-bottle penalty is severe 
enough without having to resort to disqualification for what was after all an honest 
mistake. -- alfredo

Canned Mole -- Just so you know I may have woken in the infirmary confused, but that's 
not because you hit me so hard. I was confused before the fight too. -- Greg

Burp -- That burp of yours came out the wrong end and was very fragrant.  P.U. -- Biff

Combat -- I appreciate you holding me up for three rounds. Coach totally thinks I did 
it on my own.  What a sucker. -- William Buckwell III

Landlord -- Biff has been whining about losing that 3rd tapper.  By now you would 
think he had learned. -- Coach

Chilli Charlie -- Can you teach me that Total Dodge Style? That was Awesome! -- Steven

So the kids and I were watching The Magician's Elephant (surprisingly good!) on 
Netflix and, at the end, there were ads for other movies. One of these movies was 
Chupa -- "Chupa" is short for "Chupacabra" and is the heart-warming story of a few 
kids that find a baby chupacabra and learn to love the rascally goat-sucker and hide 
him from bad guys, kind of like a retelling of ET except ET doesn't suck the blood 
from goats.  Now, besides being a good name for a warrior from Stranger Dangers 
(remember them?) it is yet another role for my Gen X idol, Christian Slater!  He's the 
bad guy that tries to capture lil' Chupa! That made me look him up on IMDB and man, 
Christian is going at it like Nicolas Cage!  He's even in 6 things that haven't come 
out yet -- who's excited about Pussy Island?!  Can you imagine his agent pitching that 
role?  "Hey, Christian, how about this role in a movie called-" "Yes!  I'll take it!  
I don't care what it's called!"  Where was I going with this?  Oh, yeah, I went to 
Minute Clinic today and I do NOT have strep throat but I still got some medicine 
because I am coughing up a ton of phlegm in the mornings.  I hope everyone has a great 
turn! -- Pappy
