                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Did I say last time that I am weary of this? I did? Now that you mention it, I 
think I said, 'I am getting tired of this. I win title after title. (17) I write DM 
Column after DM Column. I constantly and consistently show my superiority. Yet, I 
cannot get that lazy Commission to pronounce me a Lord Protector.' Pretty 
straightforward thinking, you say? I continued, 'They don't say a word. Not, "Never". 
Not "Not A Chance". Not "Jerk". Not "Aargh". Not even "Pshaw".'
     Well, let me elaborate. This is now number 18. Eighteen Duelmaster Titles! What 
the hey!

                                          -- Not A Chance, DMXVIII

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt AMEN-TEI will ever be the same.  And let's see, POOR STRANGER fought POLITE 
BEGGAR and gained 15 points and contributed to WAYFARERS' 3-2-0.  Defending its title 
for another turn, NOT A CHANCE kept AMEN-TEI's warrior, KHALHUMS DWARF, from claiming 
the throne.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources 
that The Welcome Wench uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  S IS FOR SILENT has cause to stand 
tall, as they were AMEN-TEI's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a 
team to beat.  And avoiding S IS FOR SILENT more than any other team we find 
EXCLAMATION!.  AMEN-TEI, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The 
most challenged warrior this turn was WAYFARERS' warrior PICKLES AND ONIONS.  More 
fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  Is it really true that AMEN-TEI has 
more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, AMEN-TEI, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. 
Who could ask for more?  Always good to rest in AMEN-TEI, but never good to wear out 
my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in AMEN-TEI again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

3-0. Make that 3-0-1! An 18th DM Title for Not A Chance! That's what I'm talking 
about! -- Loudmouth

Kitiana, young lady, maybe with a little more experience you can reach my level of 
fighting? Maybe? Nah. -- Aargh

Oh, my! Sorry about that, Silent Team. I guess I made Shhh really, really silent, eh? 
And she had such a pretty record, too? Gee. Well, shucks. -- Never
P.S. I would be very careful bloodfeuding me, if I were you.

Family Taxi, well you put up a really great fight at your going away party. Very nice. 
At least you got your graduation papers, and I envy you for it. Ta ta. -- Not A Chance

There is no such thing as a free lunch. But there are plenty of loud lunches. -- 
Loudmouth

Silent Partner -- Ick, bathtubs.  I don't do bathtubs. -- Catfoot, with  emphasis on 
the "cat"

Not a Chance -- For anything, now. -- Family Taxi

But Deadly -- Yes, we know, but not TODAY. -- Pickles and Onions

Politeness gets you nowhere in the arena. -- Light Breeze

They shoulda let me bury that constable in the sand. -- Barrett Inch
P.S.  It's probably 'cause of him that I didn't get a beginning overview.
