                             Notes from the arena champ.

     I did it! I am a Lord Protector. I am abdicating immediately and heading off to 
The Isle tomorrow. I have enjoyed my time here, although I have been dreaming of 
moving on for a long time.
     Perhaps I should finish with a little about me. I am a 15-16-12-17-9-4-11 Ripper. 
I finished 17-6-1 in the arena and 5-3-0 in tournaments. My faves are yet unknown, so 
if you are really interested in more about me, check the RSI Site in a few days for 
more details from Consortium management.
     With my leaving, I understand that V.P. Finance is closing Credit down for a 
while, and possible permanently. (Perhaps he has a cash flow issue?) It has been a 
pleasure working with my teammates Title Max, First National, Navy Federal, and 
Amerisave. I wish them well in their probable retirement.
     So, I am calling in all debts now. Sayanora.

                                             -- Diner's Club, DMIII

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Nothing is certain in ROCANIS, with changing 
loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--KNIGHTS OF NI.  
Practice pays for POLICE SERGEANT, who pummelled FLUKE HANSOM, to pocket 16 points.  
ANIMATOR certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to ISAM KORL 
and losing 12 points in the process!  Can you believe it?  DINER'S CLUB apparently 
has better things to do as ROCANIS' Duelmaster than show up and fight!  In ROCANIS, 
nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, FANNON.  
So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk?  
Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Perhaps the warriors of CREDIT should 
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  Like a pup with its tail 
between its legs, Q IS FOR QUIET scurried away from CREDIT.  Oh, the shame!  Is it 
charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, 
GILBERT IRDAN is the most challenged warrior.  Them's the breaks, GILBERT IRDAN.  
Expecting fair challenges from MEN OF STEEL is evidently too much to ask.  FANNON 
defeated GILBERT IRDAN.  The whole thing leaves a bitter memory.   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Questions are 
being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain 
tavern in ROCANIS would I avoid!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As the seasons change, and the creatures of the 
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  Do not despair!  I 
shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
