                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings, Murska!!  Mozart is enjoying his second turn as DM and dreams making it to
Advanced and making Murska proud!  There are very few current and active Murskans in
Primus, (two to be exact) but Teddy Brewster, the top Murskan in the top 50, went
inactive a few turns ago.  As of now it's Philanthropologist ranking at 115.  Teddy
will be back though certainly.  I remember Teddy starting off with a terrible record
around 1-10 or something when he was here, goes to show that early regular arena
records don't matter much (especially when it comes to certain styles).

See you on the sands!

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  FLIPPERS ARCADE is no joke as it posted a 4-1-0 week advancing from 
2nd place to 2nd place.  Hey everybody, watch out for KAI, who flew up 14 points in 
the rankings after mashing GARTH THE SEAMITE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this 
guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was GARTH THE SEAMITE, who dropped 16 
points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with KAI.  Well, everybody's pal 
MOZART moved his record to 12-1-0 by defeating CONVICTED ASSASSIN in the Duelmaster's 
Title Bout and gaining 2 recognition points.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect 
the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad BUSY, BUSYTOWN?  Big bad BUSY, BUSYTOWN.  Big bad BUSY, BUSYTOWN.  MURSKA's 
afraid of the big bad BUSY, BUSYTOWN.  Tra la la la la!  For those of you who like 
math, try this one:  BUSY, BUSYTOWN + Weapons That go Boom = PHILANTHROPISTS 3 + 
Avoid City.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  There's got to be more reason 
for the sending of RAIN CLOUD to the Dark Arena than his record (3-2-0).  Anybody got 
any ideas THE BEARS?  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may 
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     Well, there's the manager of the MURSKA giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  
Good luck in next week's fights.  And remember, you can pick your friends and you can 
pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Oh Ohlish Ominah -- Oh? -- Paddy

Ambitious Guard?  Drat. -- Kai

The Dangerous Criminal is worthless and weak.  He does not belong here.  (blissful
sigh)  How often I have wanted to be in a position to say that and not sound like an
idiot. -- Morpeth

I would've killed the Userous Merchant, but he surrendered gracefully, and I'm a
sucker for graceful. -- Dallow

Q*bert -- Why? -- Cadal Coontz

Sorry no time for a spotlight today.  I'm on the road but should be back at the old
stand by next cycle. -- the Scribe

Huckle Cat -- I was wondering when I would fight you. -- Mozart

Busy, Busytown -- Sorry about Bananas G.  I await the BF. -- Garth

Paddy -- I told you I would catch up.  That's you two, me one.  Best of five?  Seven?
To Be Continued.... -- Oh Ohlish Ominah
P.S.  Must not be the name, it makes a rather haunting chant though, don't you think?

Jungle King -- Took 14 hits!  Wow!  I'll see you again. -- Parallel Universe

Morpeth -- I would love to get to that point and let's hope it only takes that long.
-- Mozart
