                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Well, Kit-Kat, what have you got to say for yourself this time?  Being
chocolate-coated is still not enough.

                                      Delores

P.S.  Hmmm, speaking of chocolate-covered, where are those peanut clusters?

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, JURINE?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, FAVORITE GUYS, since BLADE 
AND BLOOD took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of course, we're 
all terribly impressed to see CRAZY LARRY win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly.  
Tsk, tsk, CRAZY LARRY beat RANDY and RANDY lost 14 points.  You're breakin' my heart. 
And if variety is the spice of life, JURINE may be getting bland, as DELORES stays 
top dog in the city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you 
this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, JURINE?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave 
team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in JURINE to get a drink than The Warty Toad!  
Any suggestions?  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of 
JURINE.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the 
kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

Amendment for "Fratsfa's Quest for the Best!"
     Managers that have teams already established in Fratsfa need not have (3) three
warriors in the initiates.  FE will NOT be a factor.  Stables may be entered at any
time.  Just announce your stable in the p-ads.
     ***************************************************************************
     This in my invitation to all managers  who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari.  We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team
at a time.  We DO NOT want this contest to become a scum fest as many others have,
hence the Andorian arena.  Good luck to all who come to prove their skills.  "May
your enemies' blood flow freely" -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance
