                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Fellow warriors, it is good to be here again. Although looking at my possible 
competition, there seem to be a lot of bloodthirsty killers up here. While I am 
confident in my abilities, there is always the possibility of death. I have been there 
before, and it ain't fun! So if we can avoid that, all will be well.
     No challenges, Otis is a slacker.

                                          -- Sober 

                                      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.  Say good-bye 
to BLACK LIGHTNING, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the KILLER 
TUNES stable.  Hey everybody, watch out for RANCH ROAST, who flew up 28 points in the 
rankings after mashing ANOTHER BRICK PT2 like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  
And falling like a basher in the top ten was ANOTHER BRICK PT2, who dropped 23 points 
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with RANCH ROAST.  The most challenged 
warrior this week was SOBER.  If this keeps up, our Duelmaster's going to need more 
avoids!  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was CAR 
STARS' HARRISON FORD, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by SOBER.  Can you 
believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the DAL SHANG arena.  Did you 
hear that KILLER TUNES was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal 
hygiene of KILLER TUNES' warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys like to boo me?  
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause CAR STARS beats feet every time KILLER TUNES 
smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and 
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DAL SHANG have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), 
oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster
