                             Notes from the arena champ.

I'm not sure what to say in this thing.  I'm used to singing a tune, but Omnimancer 
says I need to do this amelodically.  He says that is how normal people communicate.  
What is normal about this lifestyle? We take weapons and swing them at others for the 
entertainment of the crowds.  Yeah, yeah, I know about the Chaos Gates and such, but 
do you think that thought ever crosses the minds of the fans?  Me either!

It was a good match with Fatigue, yet again.  We keep matching up and we keep trading 
wins.  I think it is 2-2 for now.  I would challenge him again to have some 
resolution, but alas, he is out of range now.

I will post my challenge to the only active Challenger Champion - Anders Sloweye.  He 
probably has a score to settle with me anyway for killing Ratundo a few turns back.  
If I keep the throne, I should get an invite to the Isle.  If I lose but stay in the 
Challenger Champions, I should get an invite to the Isle.  If I die, well, if I die, 
who really cares anyway?

Your Duelmaster,

Blue Moon of Morya

                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  OTTO'S MECHANICS posted a nice gain, to come in 2nd.  Everybody loves a 
winner...  Practice pays for SHERE KHAN, who pummelled FATIGUE, to pocket 26 points.  
Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, SHERE KHAN was winsome, after beating 
FATIGUE and seeing him lose 20 points.  Well, Duelmaster BLUE MOON challenged BIG 
LAKE PURE's ANDERS SLOWEYE.  Is a 18-9-2 good enough?  BLUE MOON successfully staved 
off a grab for the roses by ANDERS SLOWEYE of BIG LAKE PURE.  Does MORYA have no one 
talented enough to dethrone him?  So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable 
walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys 
in DIZNEE are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  Like a pup 
with its tail between its legs, OTTO'S MECHANICS scurried away from DIZNEE.  Oh, the 
shame!  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and MYRON MEI is it right now.  Most 
challenged warrior.  Isn't DODGE BULLETS proud!  Mismatched by 13 points, DALE AUTRY 
was overcame by REALITY STIMULATION.  Is this really worth noting?  I thought REALITY 
STIMULATION showed great skill and promise when she defeated DALE AUTRY.  All right, 
so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Perhaps BIG 
LAKE PURE's manager was intending to send RATUNDO to the Dark Arena in the first 
place, seeing as how bloodfeud has nearly expired.  Ask not for whom the sword 
slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Do not think spyreporting in MORYA is the highlight of my life.  As if buffeted 
by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.  Like a 
mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid MORYA farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

Fatigue -- Bah!  Why did you have to drop so low?  We need closure on this match-up 
since we are tied at 2-2.  Advantage you by style, but it has been fun all the same! 
-- Blue Moon

Foxworthy -- You might be a redneck AND you might lose a fight if you match up with 
me! -- Keith Moon

Jim Gaffigan -- I used to think you were funny.  Not so much now. -- Harvest Moon

Axel Foley -- Insurance is useless anyway. -- Myron Mei

Anders Sloweye -- I suppose that saves stress.  By the time you get around to noticing 
a problem, it's over.  I couldn't do it, though; knowing some problem might be 
sneaking up on me would stress me out. -- Storm Warning

Reality Stimulation -- That kind of thing can be overdone. -- Dale Autry

distracting. -- Lately Stone
