                             Notes from the arena champ.

While I'd like to get some kind of credit for taking this throne here, kudos go out to 
Anne T Loch-Braek for her graduation, and becoming Crip's first ever natural 21-
Wit/Will warrior to get to ADM.  Only took 35 years!  Of course, it came back with 
Short Spear as a favourite weapon, High/Very High Rhythm, Lunge Tactic, and a 
preference for learning parry skills (all 20 have been learned already, so this was 
not a surprise announcement).  It is also -3 in attack, and +1 defence.  An adjustment 
to that attack base/favourite learn sure could have changed her future outlook.

                                          -- Hal O'Gen
                                             Otto's Mechanics
                                             Duelmaster of Morya

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
MORYA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, BIG LAKE PURE, since 
OTTO'S MECHANICS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  OTTO'S 
MECHANICS turned their 4-1-1 turn into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn.  
Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  Now let's all watch DIZNEE's 
heads swell from their 4-1-1 this turn.  Haa ha ha ha!  Big shots, big talk, big 
deal.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see CAL LIPPER win a fight and gain 
15 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, CAL LIPPER beat THE VIBE and THE VIBE lost 8 points.  
You're breakin' my heart.  PULLED MUSCLE challenged MORYA's Duelmaster for a shot at 
the throne.  And if variety is the spice of life, MORYA may be getting bland, as HAL 
O'GEN stays top dog in the city.  Salty's Chowder House, humph!  I've tasted better 
ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From MORYA's trash dumps?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  MORYA, 
I am losing what little hope I had in you.  BIG LAKE PURE the most avoided team?  
What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And it looks like OTTO'S MECHANICS avoided 
them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, 
I'm frightfully impressed, MYRON MEI was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch 
that ego swell, sports fans.  I notice STRETCH MARKS challenging down 23 points to 
fight REALITY STIMULATION, BASH BROS BODY doubtless has some rotten excuse for such 
an insult to honor.  And golly gee, STRETCH MARKS defeated REALITY STIMULATION.  
Aren't we all surprised and impressed?  Now look at this.  ROSE PURITY challenged 
down 20 against DODGE BULLETS' DALE AUTRY.  What a weasel!  And sorry to say, ROSE 
PURITY defeated DALE AUTRY, leaving a bad feeling with the crowd.  I think exploitive 
snob is the term I'm looking for.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  I could say I saw this coming, but so could anyone 
else.  Anyway, this turn it came.  FATIGUE's 15-5-0 has earned him the Dark Arena.  
Now hey, I like to see a death as much as the next guy, but hey BASH BROS BODY, whyja 
send FATIGUE to the Dark Arena, look at his record, huh?  BIG LAKE PURE has cause to 
pause today, as ANDERS SLOWEYE was sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not 
in the best of moods, I'll wager.  Whoa!  I'll even buy ANNE T LOCH-BRAEK a drink 
tonight!  Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on hers good 
side!  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with 
you sooner that later?   
     There's got to be a better place in MORYA to get a drink than Salty's Chowder 
House!  Any suggestions?  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before I leave the fine city 
of MORYA.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need 
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
