                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well, after a fight like that that, what's a Duelmaster supposed to do?  Oh, NO!

Hey, where's Gonnigan?

He's gone again!

Someone got him all scared, and now he's thinking about becoming invisible and missing 
the turn.  But that would be completely dishonourable!

OK, I guess I'll stick around and do the right thing.

                                          -- Gonnigan

                                             Duelmaster of Snowbound

                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for SNOWBOUND.  MVP award for OLIVER QUEEN?  
MIDDLE WAY 6's proud of him after beating TELLY MONSTER and getting 17 points.  Talk 
about yer big time losers!  TWO HEADED MONSTER got smashed by TONIC, and lost 12 
points!  Like, CRESCENDO must be pretty gutsy!  He Bloodfeuded the Duelmaster from 
OPEN SESAME.  Does this guy have a death wish or what!  And I was just getting used 
to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome CRESCENDO.  Aren't DARQUE 
THEORY proud.  (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine 
hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  The warriors of DARQUE THEORY must be getting lonely. 
They were the most avoided team.  Do you guys know something that I don't?  Hhmph!  
What kind of warriors are OPEN SESAME?  DARQUE THEORY, an easy team to beat if I ever 
saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation!  Can DARQUE THEORY's GEISTLICH be 
more popular than me?  He was challenged the most, but is that really the same?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All SNOWBOUND ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  CRESCENDO bloodfeuded (is that a word?) GONNIGAN for revenge 
over some guy's bad fortune.  Was it really worth it?  Hey you guys, don't you think 
your families would like to hear from you?  Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it 
quits.  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Rigoroso --  I don't know what your issue was, but the rest of your teammates beat the 
rest of my teammates rather soundly -- Gonnigan

Newlin Ohm -- Nice rating!   But as I saw on the tube the other day, there's a 
difference between being good at attacking, and actually attacking -- Telly Monster

Vivace -- There we go, theory #1 taking over the street -- Mr. Noodle

Geistlich -- And there's theory #2 running rampant as well -- Barkley

Hailey Icewind -- Hell hath frozen over -- Two Headed Monster

Telly Monster -- If you put a telly in your bathtub, you've got a serious problem. -- 
Newlin Ohm

The Merchant has a serious problem, too.  If you make money your primary goal, you 
won't be happy in the long run. -- Oliver Queen

Two Headed Monster -- Doesn't that make it hard to figure out which way you're going? 
-- Hailey Icewind

Tonic -- ??  Not sure where that's going.  You probably need fresh dandelion for a 
tonic. -- Helga Iceland

Cult Members, bah.  If the cult's central figure was worth anything, it would be a 
religion, not a cult. -- Viola Wing
