                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Mr. Thug, that was a pathetic effort.  Even you should have been able to do
better.  Still, I'm not complaining MUCH.  After all, I know have the title, and
MONTHS before it seemed likely.  This is possibly good.

                                      Sourcrab

                                      SPY REPORT

     Oh, hi.  Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte.  Thought I'd check out ROCANIS to see 
what's new.  Like, STRAIGHT UP THUG had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off 
#1 spot by BAD APPLES!  Way to go BAD APPLES!  MVP award for WOODWORM?  BAD APPLES' 
proud of him after beating MAGE'S APPRENTICE and getting 20 points.  Talk about yer 
major upsets!  LOVEABLE LARRY's match with BUCK FEVER cost him a loss of 10 points!  
Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think SOURCRAB should let RIRORNI 
ASSASSIN be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  Is the Duelmaster 
really being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys 
can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I gotta leave.  ROCANIS is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  I 
had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

Loveable Larry -- I don't love you, wretched thug!  I was WINNING that fight, and
you, badly hurt and knocked to the ground that you were, staggered back to your feet
and knocked me over with a feather!  Who told you a feather was an allowable weapon?
Curses. -- Buck Fever

Ah, the Rocani Turncoat.  A worthless person in all ways. -- Forluitha

Lois Thug -- Drat.  Cunning of you. -- Hawthorn
P.S.  Nothing for it, I'll have to ask you to dinner.  My stamina is actually better
than you might think from my arena performance today.

Juan Thug-a-lot -- Humphf. -- Malus s'Prout
P.S.  Nothing but thugs and standbys today.  Depressing.  Especially with the losses.

9 July 2007
I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately.  If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good.  So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet).  If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos.  We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S.  If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
