                             Notes from the arena champ.

I would like to thank the 23 Challenger Champions who sat out last turn that made my 
DM throne and graduation possible.  I dedicate this invite to you.

I am a 9-8-14-7-21-4-21 AB, I am told, with no known bonuses.  I get to try out the LO 
this turn, which I hear is a nice weapon.  It seems rather heavy and I can't quite 
figure out how to use it properly, but I am sure that once I get to the Isle and 
receive my special training, I will love it.

                                          -- Alpha Tucanae

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt ERINIKA will ever be the same.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as BB CBA NEGOT. is pushed out of top team by THIRD HIGHWAY 3, who came 
from 2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn.  I want to know who's buying the drinks for who 
tonight at The Swinging Aardvark, seeing as LUDUS MAGNUS CD's 4-1-0 has earned them 
3rd place in the ranks.  I understand that The Swinging Aardvark is buying the drinks 
for PORKY'S tonight, to honor their rise to 4th after this turns 1-0-0.  Hmmm.  Now, 
what did these guys have for breakfast this morning?  SAY AGAIN? has turned a 1-0-0 
into 7th place from 22nd.  Give me the recipe!  I understand that The Swinging 
Aardvark is buying the drinks for BOURBON STREET tonight, to honor their rise to 15th 
after this turns 1-0-0.  Hmmm.  I want to know who's buying the drinks for who 
tonight at The Swinging Aardvark, seeing as VULPECULA's 12-17-0 has earned them 20th 
place in the ranks.  I understand that The Swinging Aardvark is buying the drinks for 
MYTHOS 7 tonight, to honor their rise to 22nd after this turns 1-0-0.  Hmmm.  Now, 
what did these guys have for breakfast this morning?  AURIGA has turned a 0-1-0 into 
23rd place from 35th.  Give me the recipe!  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, 
for there are sorrows to drown for TUCANA II, whose 0-1-0 this turn dropped them by 8 
into 14th.  The THIRD HIGHWAY 3 guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched 
in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, 
SEGUE fought CONVICTED THIEF and gained 12 points and contributed to SAY AGAIN?'s 
1-0-0.  PERICLES has lost to DON CRESCENT, falling 10 points, while helping make 
LUDUS MAGNUS CC a 0-1-0 turn.  We should ask ADAM about the thrill of victory, and 
what being the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask.  By the 
way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The 
Swinging Aardvark?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  The most challenged warrior this turn 
was MYTHOS 7's warrior SIR GARLON.  More fighters challenged him than challenged the 
Duelmaster!  In a brave attempt, SUHAIL from VELA challenged up 19 points to fight 
MEAT from the PORKY'S stable.  SUHAIL perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was 
subdued by MEAT and ended up with 57 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 ERINIKA 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.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords 
sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe
