                             Notes from the arena champ.

It worked so well the first time, why not try it again!

This turn doesn't look as promising!  Maybe I'll try the same strategy against 
Harpoon.  A harpoon is kind of like a bashing weapon, except with a point, right?

Or maybe I'll just blow so fiercely that the harpoon will miss the mark!

                                          -- Cold Wind

                                      SPY REPORT

    'Twas a very light fighting round, but there was a down challenge that made the 
entire turn a success for me!  SNARKEY LIME PIE was sent by D. Noble to make a 29 
point down challenge against THE JEFF.  Poor Channel Master has a lot of debts to 
repay!  Way too many people taking advantage of his warriors.  SNARKEY LIME PIE gets 
immortality with the win.  Well done, SNARKEY!  Made my day! With downchallenges like 
that, you also deserve the title and benefits of immorality.
    For the title fight, FLOYD'S BOOKIE broke through the avoiding BASH BROS OCEAN and 
silenced the wind.  FLOYD'S BOOKIE takes back the throne and I believe is perfectly 
set up for running in the upcoming Champions tourney.
    I could hope that the lack of activity was all the managers waiting to run in the 
tourney, which happens in between this turn and next, but I suspect rather it is 
simply a time for our arena to be small.  I expect to have some tourney teasers and 
maybe some tourney stats for the next newsletter.  Hopefully there is actually 
something to talk about.
    No deaths to report.  TOUCAN was reported as the most challenged warrior. I don't 
know if that means a single or a half dozen, but that was the report. ROCKY's 
challenge was recognized and ROCKY won.  It is very confusing to me that Rocky is a 
famous fighter in a movie, yet this ROCKY refers to actual rocks on the ocean floor, 
yet is also a fighter in the arena.  I also don't understand how rocks can do anything 
to a flying bird.  It is a mystery.
    In the team news, we only have one less team fighting this turn, with Weirdo's 
AFTER MIDNIGHT sitting out.  SOLIS MILITES continues to dominate as a team, going 4-0 
this turn and taking all the team awards except unchartered.  Riff Raff's 2115 BOURBON 
ST holds that one in spite of being the last place team.  Does anyone else see an 
irony, here?  He can sit and soak up the unchartered awards for almost a year, even if 
he only wins 31% of his fights.
    Smithy and his USEFUL WEAPONS made their mark this turn in the personal ads. Make 
sure you catch them.  Smithy keeps me honest and exposes my mistakes to the world!  
Almost makes me want to intentionally make some mistakes in these reports, just to 
give him something to do. (almost)
    Meanwhile, the AVENGERS took a hard fall.  The commission unfairly made almost 
every warrior on their team face SOLIS MILITES and USEFUL WEAPONS. If I didn't know 
better, I'd suspect bribery and fixed fights.  Wait a minute! I don't know better!  I 
suspect bribery and fixed fights!  If the commission is letting the top money teams 
get their wins by advantageous matchups, things are wrong!
    That is it for this turn.  Thanks COLD WIND for the column.  Looks like HARPOON 
had the forecast and sat out!

                       -- Belinda, the spy mistress who doesn't check her facts twice!

Belinda, wands are good for many things, as I'll bet you just know. But I'm not going 
there on this site. No way! -- Wand, Useful Weapon

Uh, Belinda, there are some things you are very good at (wink), but saying "SUNBELT's 
challenge to BRASS KNUCKLES was the only failed challenge" was quite a dung-heap of a 
doozy, since SUNBELT did not challenge BRASS KLNUCKLES, rather SOLAMAN did and it was 
NOTY a failed Challenge. -- Smithy
