                             Notes from the arena champ.

It is ah Sister Mary Jane Pansyellen, Joolmistress of th' Swamp, sittin' upon th'
throne towerin' far above them grovelin' t'retch mah status.  ah's hyar t'praise th'
all pow'ful thet he'ped me t'achieve this hyar fleetin' hono'.  ah knows ah's
supposed t'feel bad about killin' Razo', but he was a lost soul, ah reckon.  ah have
only he'ped thet pore soul move on t'a better place.  Had thet heathen guild attended
services mo'e offen ah might haf felt some pity, but ah doubt it.  Raven, ah
awaitcher puny attempp t'avenge yer lost.  Truthfully, ah feel yo' sh'd be thankin'
me fo' cullin' out th' undeservin'.  ah find mahse'f faced wif mighty pore
challenges.  It seems like ah will need t'take a kin opener wif me t'th' arena.  Such
is th' life of a true warrio' style.  Now days all yo' see is th' armo' clad slugs o'
th' flurry swingers.  ah will, as allus, place mah faif in th' all pow'ful t'steady
mah han's an' stren'then mah legs.  Come one, come all an' face th' power.  All bow
down an' praise th' might.  Make way fo' th' mo'tal power on Alastri an' praise th'
glo'y of SCOMSS.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, DOUBLE-X?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, THINGS I DROOL IN, since THE 
BEAR'S PAW took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  If The Warty 
Toad is buying drinks for ABYSMAL RITES' good turn, I'm afraid the place will be dry 
before long.  A 2-2-0 makes for a big thirst.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see ITHYIC THING win a fight and gain 26 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 
ITHYIC THING beat PARTY TRAP and PARTY TRAP lost 19 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as RHIANNON takes the Title and 
last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The Warty Toad, humph!  I've 
tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From DOUBLE-X's 
trash dumps?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
TIMELY HEROES, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided 
team.  Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  And it looks like ABYSMAL RITES 
avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  
Hmph.  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, BOB'S COMIC COLLECTN was this turn's most 
challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for DOUBLE-X's 
morgue.  More variety.  I could say I saw this coming, but so could anyone else.  
Anyway, this turn it came.  NAPOLEON BONAPARTE's 5-6-0 has earned him the Dark Arena. 
Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds 
of weapons?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of DOUBLE-X.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your 
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

Close one Ten Lords Aleapin, I almost bled to death. -- Makriyannis

Hail Test Tube 7 -- We're supposed to be here to scrap; next time stay home and watch
figure skating.

Sparrow -- This ain't over yet. -- Phokus

Hey Patrick -- I hope your kidneys heal up. -- Justinian

Heads-up Perrigen -- Good battle, when I win. -- Zoizakis

Hammer -- Diplo received.  Hope all is well over there in the Emerald City.  There's
no place like home. -- Oz The All Traveled

Sister Mary Sueellen -- Congratulations for winning the top spot decisively and
bringing the DM home to SCOMSS where it belongs. -- Oz The All Praising

Father O'Malley -- Why does the little Raven more always use you to get rid of her
riff-raff?  I can understand her expeditious desire to get rid of the semi-
incompetent Razor.  When, then, will the demise of Red devil be scheduled do you
think? -- Oz The All Questioning

Smokey Bear -- That was an excellent bloodfeud and vengeance for your fallen partner
Cindi Bear.  Salute. -- Winkie

David West -- That was all my pleasure. -- Nikko

Father O -- Despite your proclamation otherwise, The land Of Oz did NOT have a losing
record last turn.  I realize that a 50/50 is unbefitting of a Wizard of my quality,
but, jeez! -- Oz The All Flustered

SCOMSSers -- Just one more to go.  It has been a hoot! -- Oz The All Excited
P.S.  Another solid turn.  Well done.  Well, other than the one missing member and
the "foo paw" by Father.

Crip -- Thank you for the compliment.  You did know that Mannequin and his killing
are passe'?  Word is that he doesn't have it any more.  I think he is OK, though.
Probably in a slump or pressing too hard.  Perhaps at the face you and Oz can teach
him again how to kill? -- Winkie

Coyote -- The "brilliant" at the end of the fight was more likely a compliment for
being on the favorite rhythm.  I doubt that the weapon comes into play in that type
of comment. -- The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz

Turf War Tuffies -- As the contest draws to a close and a New Year is soon upon us I
would hope that most of you would consider settling here as Swamp Citizens for
further fights! -- Hammer/Minister of War/Abattoir Scarlet Knight/ DarkHorse Duelist/
Swamp Psycho/StormCrowe SwashBuckler/Morya MadMan/North Fork Fanatic/Niatoli Nuisance

P.S.  Did You Get that Info Packet to Horus One Eye or Did Real Life Intrude Once
Again?

Horus One Eye -- Welcome Back to the Swamp!  Last Week I Snail Mailed You Two
Envelopes with Various Amounts of Info from OverSeas Pertaining to the Game!  Today
[Sunday November 25th] I Also Snail Mailed You Five More Envelopes!  Am Preparing
More to Snail Mail within the Next Week or So Depending Upon My Spare Time and
Postage Availability!  Consider Them as Christmas Gifts!  You May Open Them
Immediately Upon Delivery!  You Should Have Enough Info in About Three Weeks to Keep
You Occupied and Well Equipped to Make a Good Showing During the Coming New Year! --

StormCrowe SwashBuckler/Morya MadMan/North Fork Fanatic/Niatoli Nuisance
P.S.  Swamp Mudd Hammer is Available for Some Skill Raping if Your Ladies are
Equipped to Handle the Experience that SWH is Offering!

Coyote -- I've never taken anything from fan comments.  My biggest observation is
comparing percentage of crits thrown with different weapons. -- Crip

Horus -- Welcome back. -- Crip

Swamp Burp Hammer -- Doubts were high when Jack fell down, and broke his crown.  It
was really bad when Jill came tumblin' after. -- J & J

Racecar -- I Man!  Am I? -- Bullpen Ace

Test Tube 7 -- Well that worked out much better than expected.  Thanks for all those
skills.  We'll be much better choreographed next time. -- Ten Lords Aleapin'
