                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I will be short and sweet as I am a Lord Protector Duelmaster and shortly
retired.  I am thus: 12-10-17-17-9-8-11 great damage mode striker.
     I am rooting for the Kansas Jayhawks and the Indiana Hoosiers.  I would not,
however, be disappointed to see the Butler Bulldogs or the North Carolina Tarheels in
the finale'.
     Other than that, you will have this one last chance to "take me down" and I will
not be very disappointed if you do.
     Salute.
                    Uncle Junior, Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  YOU DON'T SAY! had cause to celebrate, after 
MMMMBUHHH got 20 points by beating CIRRUS.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, 
BLOOD ORANGE was winsome, after beating TRIA SKATHACH and seeing her lose 10 points.  
Now I can't insult KURT COBAIN, as he has gloriously dueled to the top.  Oh great new 
Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it one team in ARDIVENT is 
using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     And how sociable are ARDIVENT's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like a horde of 
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in ARDIVENT avoid THE 27 CLUB.  
As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of FANDILS, so did that sorry team 
shy from THE 27 CLUB Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and IRVIN is it right 
now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't FANDILS proud!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Ask not a 
spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an 
unconscious stupor.   
     All good things must come to an end.  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards 
fat!  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ARDIVENT farewell-- 
Novgorodny Vir

All -- Hastely prepared strategies and no challenges this turn as we Fandils were in
the time machine traveling.  (90 year old mother's birthday party and grandkids come
first!) -- Fandil The Wise

Assur -- How nice and kind of you to note The Andorian style and defer to it.
However, I must say that if it were "allowable" you would be my favored to down-
challenge my team as they really REALLY like fighting your cafe cuties. (wink!) --
WOF

Bluvalley Warriors -- Top team on the move.  28 big points.  Kudos.  BEWARE all! --
Fandil The Wise

Uncle Junior made it!  Duelmaster!  Lord Protector!  Outta here alive!  I am proud of
him. -- WOF

Kurt Cobain -- It was my turn. -- Uncle Junior

What Water? -- Thanks for filling my water dish.  I nearly died of thirst first, but
it is the thought that counts.  And the win.  MY win. -- Irvin (smiling like a
cheshire cat)

Joubert Klee -- I was simply not good enough and you were.  Grats to you and pshaw on
me! -- Snuffy (Interpreted by The Fandil Publicist, as it was unfit to publish in the
raw.)

Health.  Humility.  Honor. -- Fandil The Wise

Fandil -- I did not realize that there was a more absolute category than "total"
slacker.  Since there is please sign me up. -- slugbait

mmmmbuhhhh -- I'd be a bit careful with those challenges. -- slugbait

Fandil -- That Shelley dude was a man who knew cats. -- Jorja

We congratulate Uncle Junior. -- Jorja and the Bluvalley Warriors

All -- We are, what a surprise, running really short of time today, so no individual
personals. -- Jorja
P.S.  We're hip-deep in hard boiled eggs, and you can eat just so much egg salad
before your mouth begins to rebel--loudly!  Gotta find something else to do with 'em.
