                             Notes from the arena champ.

                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  We now have a new top team for all of you guys 
to dogpile on.  MEDAL OF HONOR now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep 
it.  Hey everybody, watch out for RED KOGAN, who flew up 13 points in the rankings 
after mashing CRINGING CUTPURSE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, 
some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  FAKE FIGHTER was bested by 
SERGEANT 4 and drops 3 points.  Going for the gusto and coming up with aught but 
bloody knuckles was SAND DANCERS' BAIKAL S'KREN, who was turned away from the 
Duelmastership by NEWBIE MGR..  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver 
this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Did you hear that MEDAL OF HONOR was most 
avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of MEDAL OF HONOR's 
warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys like to boo me?  Well, unsling your 
rasberries, cause SATAN'S SELF HELP beats feet every time MEDAL OF HONOR 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?).  Well, the dead gal CLEO just took TOLBINS 
LADIES off hers Christmas card list.  The poor gal's bloodfeud just expired with 
zippo results.  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.  
Silly buggers, eh?   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DAYLA KIV have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown 
Spymaster

Newbie Mgr. -- I think there must have been some mathematical error there?  Because
*I* should have won. -- Baikal s'Kren
P.S.  You're jealous of my popularity, aren't you?  Admit it.

Sergeant 4 -- Way to many sergeants around here. -- Elon Li

Sergeant 1 -- Right, what she said. -- Red Kogan

An oh-fer turn.  How thrilling.  For THIS, we came back to write personals? --
Baikal s'Kren

For your Yuletide bloodletting pleasure, sung to the tune of "Winter Wonderland."

Slay bells ring, are ya listenin'?
Beneath the moon, blood is glistenin'!
A grisly sight, we're happy tonight,
Watchin' all the Dark Arena fights!

In the daytime we can catch the action,
as the Duelmaster defends his crown!
All the criticals and bloody drama,
and if you're nasty you can challenge down!

Later on, by tavern fire,
managers, they'll conspire,
to face unafraid, the challenges made,
Duelin' in that Alastari land!

Wishing all good D2 managers a Happy Holidays!
