                             Notes from the arena champ.

When the steward announced your name, Brexit, I thought he was telling me to "break 
it."  So I did.

                                          -- Rondor Sendal

                                      SPY REPORT

     When the commission announced the rematch for the throne, I was first surprised.  
BREXIT entered ranked as a champion.  I feared the worst, that our participation had 
dropped, but I didn't have time to check the rest of the matchups before the fight 
started.  RONDOR SENDAL came out fast, just like last turn and it looked like the 
result would be the same as well.  Then, BREXIT turned (can anyone keep up with all 
the twists, turns, and changes in Brexit?) the tide.  This time, BREXIT prevailed and 
sits on the throne. (Has the throne shrunk, or is it just the realization that our 
arena has shrunk and the throne no longer carries the same value as it did not so long 
ago).  Congratulations to BREXIT.  RONDOR's short reign is over and so is RONDOR's 
time with us.  Congratulations are also in order for RONDOR with an invite to the Isle 
of the Eye and immortality.  The two Challenger Champions were occupied with each 
other in a challenge, which is why RONDOR faced a Champion.
     The awards were split better than most turns.  MIDDLE WAY 7 and BASH BROS OCEAN 
captured two each, while NUMBERS GAME, AVENGERS, USEFUL WEAPONS each took one award.  
Wasn't that nice?  Every team that fought earned at least one award?
     AVENGERS sent three of the four challenges and NUMBERS GAME sent the fourth 
against the AVENGERS.  Only one was a down challenge, but that was a good one.  TANKEN 
went down 19 to face the hapless NELLIE PURR (formerly 0-1, now 0-2).  Only 71 more of 
those and NELLIE will be biggest loser ever!  The only other successful challenge was 
HANZO beating NORISON ROSE.  Maybe Assur would be kind enough to compile a challenge 
success chart based on Up or Down!  I know he likes wasting his time creating reports 
on stuff like that.  Heck, he might even have the information available -- doesn't he 
have some super database or not?!?  What use is a database if you don't get cool 
information from it?
     Ten warriors sent 17 avoids this turn.  Here is what it looks like:

                  Avoids Issued:                    Avoids Against:
                  USEFUL WEAPONS: 6                 NUMBERS GAME: 5
                  BASH BROS OCEAN: 6                BOOK OF THOMAS: 4
                  AVENGERS: 5                       USEFUL WEAPONS: 4
                                                    AVENGERS: 3
                                                    BASH BROS OCEAN: 1

     Amusingly, Parry-Ripostes are the top style over the last ten turns, but we 
haven't seen a single ripper in the last six turns.  2 X 4 increased to 4-0, while 
SHARD dropped his first fight after winning his first three.
     Lady Smith -- the only disgusting pots I know about here in Chimlevtal are the 
ones that come off your stove.
     Jorja -- Perhaps I should have Suave introduce you to the Doc LeGrand warrior 
design algorithm.  I've heard it is very simple and does the job of getting you some 
good warriors!  Seems to work very well for Suave.

That's all for this turn!  And not even against my deadline (past the soft deadline as 
always, but this job doesn't pay while my day job does!)

  -- Belinda (feeling sorry for poor Smithy, married to that evil wench Lady Smith)

A salute to Rondor, mighty Duelmaster! yes! -- Lady Smith
P.S. Perhaps this is Jorja's arena rather than Assur's arena? Ever since he hired that 
floozy, Belinda, Chimtown has simply gone to pot.

Hanzo, I am impressed! Good for you. -- Bolo, Useful Weapon

Nearly Parker, are you now accepting your destiny? -- Shard, Useful Weapon

Red Pepper, I am more accustomed to diamonds and hearts, so you surprised me, you 
know? Just you wait! -- Poker, Useful Weapon (and useful occupation)

Luv me wepuns! Shure do. -- Smithy

Rumor: Last night it was reported that the After Midnight guildhouse and learning 
center partially burnt down destroying more than forty books. Sadly over half of them 
had not yet been colored. -- The Useful Weapon Gossip Line

Spectrum -- My guess, high kill desire and attacking vitals.  Not appreciated. -- 
ghost of Panda Ross

Shard -- Yeah, well, I don't expect an honorable challenge or any finer feelings from 
a golem. -- Nearly Parker

Hurricane -- Sue the Infirmary. -- Norison Rose

Tanken -- Is this what's called "paying my dues"? -- Nellie Purr

Lady Smith -- Good warriors?  What are those? -- Jorja
