Notes from the arena champ.
Ah, with a little luck next time, I'll have a winning record! That will be a
pleasant novelty.

SPY REPORT
Good day, in JADE MOUNTAIN a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets
poor. So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. It seems the training can
make the difference, as MANAGER MUSINGS is pushed out of top team by WEAPONS I WON'T
USE, who came from 3rd with a 1-1-0 this turn. And let's see, SLUGBAIT fought
SERNILLAN and gained 18 points and contributed to MANAGER MUSINGS' 2-0-0. SERNILLAN
has lost to SLUGBAIT, falling 11 points, while helping make SAND DANCERS a 0-4-0
turn. And all eyes were on BUSHMASTER this turn as it ascended to the throne of
Duelmaster. JADE MOUNTAIN has a new victor! Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have
heard from unimpeachable sources that The Green Axe uses trolls in their stew. Talk
about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the WEAPONS I WON'T USE stable was the
most avoided team this turn. Come on JADE MOUNTAIN, what are you afraid of? And
avoiding WEAPONS I WON'T USE more than any other team we find MANAGER MUSINGS. JADE
MOUNTAIN, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, JADE MOUNTAIN, the taverns have old wine, and young serving
girls. Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in JADE
MOUNTAIN again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Shucks, the 1-2 turn didn't bother me as much as losing to I Am Sam. Disgusting. --
FTF Manager
Dowd -- Well...at least you're leaving, for which, by the way, I congratulate you. I
wouldn't want to leave, even if I had graduated, but I guess you will be? Say hi to
anybody you meet on the Isle that you think would appreciate it. -- Short Rock, glad
not to be Duel2dude and have to think of something to say in a column
Slugbait -- I don't want to bait slugs, so I don't want you around. Go away. --
Sernillan
Greatsword -- Ouch! Those things are heavy, you know! You could've broken lots of
my bones. -- Ultra T'ssar
P.S. And I'm still using my bones.
Ftf Manager -- Typical, isn't it? -- Jorja

It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light. Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth. YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!! The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats. It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us! I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face! Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!

PRIZES:
Turf Wars are a "Winner Takes All" type contest. All prizes and 100% of the RU
Certs will be given to the Captain of the winning alliance and it is his/her
responsibility to give these to the alliance membership.
I have requested from RSI the following:

b. renaming of Dark Arena Monsters;
c. known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning
alliance. This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the
last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to
receive this award).
Baphomet, Host of TW5
Special Note: A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower
bracket. Same bracket, more recognition points? Not a downchallenge!
