                             Notes from the arena champ.

     My 3rd DM Title, and yet some of you still say I stink? What a bunch of whiners 
and jealousy losers you are! Take it like a man, you butterflies!
     So, what the heck, I am out of here next round, one way or the other. Will 
someone kill me. If they do, they will be quite nasty to smell, you betcha!
     So I say adios here. I won't miss any of you.

                                             -- Skunk DMIII

     It is me, Midas. Gold was basking in his victories, and really didn't want to pen 
a column, and I had a few things to say, so you get me. Aren't you the lucky ones?
     First, about Gold, which I adore!

          seems to like the HA/BS/GA combo.

     Realize this information is pre results of fight 20, so faves and final skills 
are unknown. Speaking of unknowns, I yet have not received the replacement for Ruby. I 
DESERVE only golden recruits for these two godlings. Windfall, Castle, and Antique are 
nice, but I want more.
     So give it to me, Commission!

                                          -- Midas (for Gold)

                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Practice pays for ALDAN CHANG, who pummelled CRINGING CUTPURSE, to 
pocket 13 points.  ALITA certainly had a baffled expression on hers face, after 
losing to ALSEPHINA and losing 9 points in the process!  SKUNK successfully staved 
off a grab for the roses by WHISKERS N' STRIPES of SPROUT OF MY WAY!.  Does DAYLA KIV 
have no one talented enough to dethrone her?  So who was the warrior seen charging 
into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst 
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of FEROCIOUS ANIMALS, alone and unchallenged. 
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, SPROUT OF MY WAY! scurried away from 
FEROCIOUS ANIMALS.  Oh, the shame!  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and 
WHISKERS N' STRIPES is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't SPROUT OF MY 
WAY! proud!  Them's the breaks, SABER.  Expecting fair challenges from FEROCIOUS 
ANIMALS is evidently too much to ask.  RHINO bested SABER with a point difference of 
17.  So this is what DAYLA KIV calls a duel.  This will make an interesting tale.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Questions are being 
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in 
DAYLA KIV would I avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in DAYLA KIV is the highlight of my life.  My fingers 
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable 
character.  Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for DAYLA KIV? 
On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
