                             Notes from the arena champ.

I Have Enjoyed the View from the Top!

A Much Better View than the View from the Top in the DM 93 Arena!

Hammer had me lug this Longsword into every sand battle and it turns out that my 
favorite weapon is the Epee!

However, the offensive effort and activity level that Hammer sent me out on the 
battle-arena sands turned out to both be my favorites! [Very High / Very High]

I am a 13-5-12-17-17-9-11 Lunger and would gladly inform you of how many skills I 
averaged learning during my career, but Hammer did not keep track of those statistics!

Hammer tends to be very focused when his time and interests warrant such focus, but 
his real-life and fantasy-life tend to mix things up rather incoherently at times!

I have achieved an Advanced Expert rating in Initiative, an Expert rating in Attack 
and an Expert rating in Defense!

My Graduation Notice came with my 14-6-0, 129 career record and I do Good Damage!

I also tend to focus on Parry Skills during my training!

Hammer filled out the paperwork to send me on to the DM 107 Arena!

I want to thank Boudica for introducing me to the rigors of fighting here at Jade 
Mountain! It was her Down Challenge Loss that made it possible for me to ascend to the 
DM 75 Throne in the first place!

My random match-up with Out Out guaranteed that I remained on the DM 75 Throne and 
secured my Graduation Notice!

My Thanks to All the Gladiators that Made My Graduation Possible!

I did not Challenge or Avoid for my Final Turn here at Jade Mountain Arena, so be 
forewarned that Hammer adjusted my Kill Desire from the 4 that I ran since beginning 
in DM 93 to a More Acceptable Kill Desire according to what Hammer historically runs 
for the Lunger style!

Enjoying My View from the Top for the Last Time here at the Jade Mountain Arena!

                        -- Great White Shark, Lord Protector and Former DM in Arena 93

                                      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.  SPACE ROCKS stable has 
parlayed this turn's 3-2-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up 
to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, ZENOBIA fought OUT OUT and gained 23 
points and contributed to LADY WARRIORS' 2-1-0.  OUT OUT has lost to ZENOBIA, falling 
14 points, while helping make DEFROSTED a 0-1-0 turn.  BOUDICCA challenged for the 
Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone VICIOUS FISH 2021's warrior.  And 
not without some honor, BOUDICCA now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of 
JADE MOUNTAIN.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped 
under the table at The Green Axe?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  SAND DANCERS has cause to stand tall, as 
they were JADE MOUNTAIN's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And avoiding SAND DANCERS more than any other team we find LADY WARRIORS.  
JADE MOUNTAIN, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most 
challenged warrior this turn was DEFROSTED's warrior OUT OUT.  More fighters 
challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Kudos go out to HUNTER this turn, for revenging SAND DANCERS' 
bloodfeud against VICIOUS FISH 2021's warrior PERILOUS PIRANHA.  Well done.  We'd 
like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.  You know who 
you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in JADE MOUNTAIN, but never good to wear out 
my welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in JADE MOUNTAIN 
again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

A salute to now Lord Protector Great White Shark, a great friend originally from 
Noblish Isle. -- All The Consortium entities

Way to go DM Hammer Clan! Do it again. Here is one big Shark Salute. -- Ms. Fu

P.S. Mr. Hammer, The Consortium does not consider a challenge from The Duelmaster as a 
down challenge. The opportunity to take over the title, as the shark did, should be an 
honor.

Hmmm. My ladies go 3-0?! Gal Power! -- Ms. Fu

Puffer Fish Peril, you were all puff and not enough peril. -- Colestah

Bombatta, that was all my pleasure. -- Calamity Jane

Hunter, my man, you were there. Now I am here. -- Boudicca

Go for the glory, Ladies! -- Ms. Fu

Ms. Fu -- Thank You! -- Hammer

Ho Chang -- Yes I Am! -- The Alligator Gar

Lotus Blossom -- I Love to Annoy! You are Most Welcome! -- Puffer Fish Peril

Out Out -- You had your chance! Salute! -- Great White Shark, Lord Protector headed to 
Arena 107

To-Fu Backstabber -- You also had your chance! Salute! -- Perilous Piranha

Ho Chang -- After several days I survived the Infirmary! Thanks for the Survival 
Skills! Salute! -- The Alligator Gar

Colestah -- Serious Wounds! I Live! Salute! -- Puffer Fish Peril

Wan-Fa The Dancer -- You Survived the Infirmary! Salute! -- Brutal Barracuda

Jaded Mountaineers -- Great White Shark is My First Original DM 93 Gladiator to 
Graduate from the Jade Mountain Arena! Hopeful that The Alligator Gar will be able to 
Join Him in the Near Future! -- Hammer, mgr of Vicious Fish 2021

We congratulate Great White Shark.  Shouldn't there be a Black Shark for equal time? 
-- Sand Dancers

Boudicca -- If the fight was too slow for you, you've got only yourself to blame. -- 
Hunter

Flower Power -- No skills for ME?  Why not? -- Lotus Blossom, a powerful flower

Alligator Gar -- I watched a guy on youtube catching an alligator gar. The fish was 
ugly, the video was boring (no sound to explain what wasn't happening). -- Ho Chang
P.S.  The river here will be too cold for you.

Fehley's Comet -- Oh, music.  I was looking for a ball of reflective gases and exotic 
ices. -- Falling Mountain

Freddie Mercury -- Peh, it felt like you dropped a planet on me. -- Snowdrift, only on 
the cold side of the rock
