                             Notes from the arena champ.

I come to you for the seventh and last time as Duelmaster. By the time you read this, 
I will have taken my leave to The Isle. I have been told that I am an interesting 
Consortium warrior, so I shall tell you all about me.

     I am Consortium graduate number 1132.
     I was born 15-4-8-21-17-12-7
     As a basher I am frail, have normal endurance, and do good damage.
     I am 16-4-1 in the arena with 7 DMs
     I am 12-6-1 in tourneys with 1 TV. (Init)
     I will fight in this last Spring Mailer as an immortal maxed Champion
          (I hope I get a lot more skills there!)
     I learned at a 2.75 skill learn rate.
     Masters in Init, Attack, Decise; Adex in Defense.
     I like weapons and have done this with them:
          War Flail (whiffle) = 28/72/3 (and 2 kills)
          War Hammer 3/27/0
          Mace 30/125/2
     And these are my FAVES:
          QS, Mod/Vlo, Decise Tactic, learns Defense

I wish you all well, good luck, and happiness.

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for DINER'S CLUB, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing 
HOUSTON FARMER like a melon.  Keep your eye on this beast.  And falling like a basher 
in the top ten was RINGER SIMON, who dropped 14 points after a disappointing (to say 
the least) bout with ANIMATOR.  Try as hard as the CREDIT stable might, they were 
unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) AMEX before this week's fights.  
It's a proud day for the KNIGHTS OF NI stable, as their warrior, DEAD COLLECTOR, 
ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get 
a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ROCANIS arena.  And hey, 
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid MEN OF STEEL, please raise you hand.  Wow.  
Does ROCANIS really have that many liars?  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, 
unsling your rasberries, cause CREDIT beats feet every time MEN OF STEEL smiles at 
them.  Try farming, eh?  Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, SIR GAWAINE 
would be president.  Although it may be a contest it doesn't want to win.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  This week 12-12-0 SIR GAWAINE was sent to 
the Dark Arena.  I know a lot of fighters with similar records who might take notice 
of this.  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.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks.  Its been 
fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).  Now that I've got you worked up for Snide 
Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster
