                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I can't keep writing these columns! Silly. I am just a flower. Flowers cannot  
write or make sentences, or comprise a paragraph, of determine nouns from verbs from 
expletives. come on. Just give me a break. (On the writing only.)
     Other than that, just avoid me. I like fighting NPCs -- even that stupid Kung 
Foobag. I'll fight you, too, but you will lose and cry and complain. I would just 
rather you avoid me. Capiche?

                                          -- Poppy, Duelmaster

                                      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!.  Say good-bye to THE PURGE 209, as they are 
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the LAZY BOYZ stable.  It was a tough week 
for N.E.R.D. LIFE, to drop 6 places in the rankings.  Coming up with a solid 3-1-0 
outing, WEIRD ALCHEMY has advanced 5 places in the rankings.  BOOK OF THOMAS is no 
joke as it posted a 4-1-0 week advancing from 10th place to 10th place.  Hey 
everybody, watch out for APT. ZZRAB, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after 
mashing CARISSIMUS like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it 
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  CARISSIMUS was beat by APT. ZZRAB and drops 16 
points.  The most challenged warrior this week was POPPY.  If this keeps up, our 
Duelmaster's going to need more avoids!  FRENZY got through to the Duelmaster this 
turn.  No doubt he was more than anxious to kick POPPY's tail out of the throne!  In 
front of all the crowds, FRENZY took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  I give the 
bum two weeks.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the NORTH FORK arena.  Here's 
a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad ROYAL FLUSH?  Big bad ROYAL FLUSH.  Big 
bad ROYAL FLUSH.  NORTH FORK's afraid of the big bad ROYAL FLUSH.  Tra la la la la!  
And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause BASH BROS PARK 
beats feet every time ROYAL FLUSH smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Knowing when to use the right 
tactics at the proper time is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster
