                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings and Salutations from the View from the Top!

How many of you lost your gold coins betting that I would be unseated or <shudder>
dead from my defense of the DM 72 Throne?

Hammer has been too busy to communicate in the newsletters [something about praying
and communicating with God] so this will have to suffice.

Just two more successful defenses of the DM Throne and I should receive my graduation
notice.

Maybe that's why Hammer is busy praying!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail DRAGONHEAD!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for 
your deeds.  VERMIN stable has parlayed this turn's 1-0-0 into a 4 space move up the 
rankings.  This brings them up to 6th place.  Good work, guys!  The MEAT YOUR MAKER 
guild has had a 5-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know 
where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, BASEBALL fought FRATSFA SLAVE and 
gained 17 points and contributed to SPORTS CRIP PLAYS' 5-0-0.  Defending hers title 
for another turn, MAKKEH KILLER kept BREAD's warrior, SOURDOUGH, from claiming the 
throne.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing 
fighters do dishes at The Welcome Wench until they win.  Maybe?   
     The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more 
could a warrior ask of life?  Well, besides that.  I also notice that the OUTLAWS 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on DRAGONHEAD, what are you afraid 
of?  And guess who avoided OUTLAWS stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was MEAT 
YOUR MAKER.  Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that COPYCAT from 
OUTLAWS was DRAGONHEAD's most challenged warrior this turn.  In a brave attempt, DON 
CORNBEEFLEON from MEAT YOUR MAKER challenged up 18 points to fight COPYCAT from the 
OUTLAWS stable.  DON CORNBEEFLEON perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he beat 
COPYCAT and ended up with 24 recognition points.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  Is it really true that DRAGONHEAD has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  Always good to rest in DRAGONHEAD, but never good to wear out my welcome.  
Look for me in future turns.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe
