                             Notes from the arena champ.

I'm taking a short break to prepare for the October tourney.  I thought someone else 
might like to see what the view is like from up here.  Personally, I enjoy it.

Sturdevant and Dodge Bullets -- When I return, let us compare notes on how Morya can 
better love and appreciate its Duelmaster.  They've been lagging, of late.

Fenningtonmoore -- Just ONE MORE little recognition point and you'll be within 
challenge range when I return.  I'm rooting for you!

Until we meet again, your once and future Duelmaster,

                                          -- Rabid Yuppie

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of MORYA!  Once again I've been called out of retirement for 
my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Woof!  BIG LAKE PURE were a bunch of 
dogs after DODGE BULLETS got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet as 1st!  It seems 
so recently people were saying DODGE BULLETS was washed up, finished.  But 4-1-0 
moved them up 1.  I guess they're washed no more...  What's with KAMI KAZY?  She 
actually beat BIG LAKE PURE's PEHM TEHLNI, and walked away with 18 more points from 
the fight.  Major screwup at BIG LAKE PURE.  GHOST OF MORYA lost 15 points to WEEP NO 
MORE.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe GHOST OF MORYA will provide more easy 
wins...  Har har har!  Did RABID YUPPIE wimp out, or just get lazy?  Anyway, it's not 
Duelmaster anymore.  I'm sure MORYA is excited about STURDEVANT, the new Duelmaster 
from DODGE BULLETS.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  I 
suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  
Tough!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  How 
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of 
practive, BIG LAKE PURE!  In my day, no team with a 332-303-31 would scare me off!  
What's the problem, OTTO'S MECHANICS?  What do people see in PURITY ROSE?  Hers 
10-15-0?  BIG LAKE PURE ain't talkin', but she's got 50 points.  MEI BLOSSOM of FAR 
TRAVELERS knows how to pick 'em.  She challenged PURITY ROSE of BIG LAKE PURE who is 
up by 22.  Now was this a wise move?  MEI BLOSSOM perhaps got hers just desserts, 
seeing as she was bested by PURITY ROSE and ended up with 27 recognition points.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Who will dare fight GUS TANK, after he returned from the Dark 
Arena?  (For the record 16-5-1 is 84, and has he points) Many a warrior has met his 
fate in a hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm 
writing it before you read it.  Oh, well.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- 
Olaf Modeen
