                             Notes from the arena champ.

It's Crip's busy season, trying to keep on the DM schedule, but he's falling behind.  
As a result, no challenges/avoids this turn, didn't even mail in strategy sheets, 
we'll see if the Mayhem make an appearance or not.

                                          -- Sgt. Rock
                                             Military Mayhem
                                             7-time Duelmaster of Chimlevtal

                                      SPY REPORT

    No brutal deaths for me to report.  I did spend a personal moment of remembrance 
for the dead still listed.  (not remembering their lives, but remembering their 
glorious deaths in the arena)
    DODGE'EM DUDE canot be a fan of SGT. ROCK.  While this one wasn't another 
challenge, it was the figth time in a row that these two fought.  And the result 
looked much the same.  DODGE'EM DUDE will be the popularity leader for the rest of his 
career here, which will likely be just 2 more turns before becoming immortal.
    JOSEPH MAGNUS won again.  Now 4-0, but he has raced up to the challenger adepts 
and could face a champion next turn.  How many stories have there been of promising 
young warriors rising too fast through the ranks and then facing the likes of 
WICKEDNESS (who is looking for a third notch on the hilt of its weapon?  Still, 4-0 is 
a nice start (none better at 4 fights into your career)
    Only 9 avoids were sent this turn.  So the most avoiding team is 2115 BOURBON ST 
(who sent 5 of those avoids).  They avoided USEFUL WEAPONS twice so I'll definitely 
call USEFUL WEAPONS the most avoided team (though ASSASSIN NATION also received two of 
the avoids).
    JUST DESSERTS, wow.  I would say they were not sharing the spoils this turn, going 
5-0, but 3 of those wins were against stand ins.  Still easily the best team showing 
and they gained 63 recognition in the process.  MILITARY MAYHEM was also undefeated 
(without the npc assists), going 3-0 and capturing the Current Top Team award, with a 
kill more than BASH BROS OCEAN.
    While only 24 warriors fought for 9 teams, we did see nine styles, also. I hope 
THE CANUCKS are back.  If so, welcome.  If not, apologies for the paperwork confusion.

          (the spymistress still hoping the high KD vitals aiming DC's come next turn)
