                             Notes from the arena champ.

     ELEVEN! Eleven Duelmaster Titles! How many will it be before someone does 
something about it? Can anyone? Really? Can anyone defy the potential wrath of 
Pandora? Buncha pansies.  

                                          -- Floods, DMXI

                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  It was a tough week for PHILANTHROPISTS, to 
drop 4 places in the rankings.  Coming up with a solid 4-0-0 outing, THE SHIRE has 
advanced 5 places in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for ROSIE COTTON, who 
flew up 18 points in the rankings after mashing TURTLE NEMESIS like a melon.  Keep 
your eye on this gal.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  
TURTLE NEMESIS was beat by ROSIE COTTON and drops 12 points.  The most challenged 
warrior this week was FLOODS.  If this keeps up, our Duelmaster's going to need more 
avoids!  Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'!  
FLOODS made a challenge against HUMPTY DUMPTY this week.  Going for the gusto and 
coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was DREAMS WORK's HUMPTY DUMPTY, who was 
turned away from the Duelmastership by FLOODS.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, 
but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid PHILANTHROPISTS, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does ZENSU really have that many 
liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch THE SHIRE's act in the arena.  Those 
acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from PHILANTHROPISTS.  Was it guts or an 
overtaxed mental capacity that had THE HEDGE challenge up 33 points in the rankings 
to take on NEERLY STENN?  I heard THE HEDGE laughed all the way to the inn as its new 
point total of 97 was posted in the arena.  I guess beating NEERLY STENN really pays! 
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Congrats to SANCHO PROUDFOOT for revenging the death of 
his teammate (but more importantly, feeding TERRIBLE BEAUTY a bit of dirt).  Ask not 
the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ZENSU have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been 
fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  Now that I've got you worked up for Snide 
Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster
