                             Notes from the arena champ.

Nine minutes, Stunning Inlay, and I was ahead in every one.  Seems like a waste of 
eight minutes, doesn't it? -- Bobwhite

P.S.  I could graduate any time people would teach me more skills.
P.P.S.  I am not an orc!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome LIN TIRIAN.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with 
TOBINSPORT?  It actually beat SAND DANCERS' MEDIO CUR, and walked away with 19 more 
points from the fight.  Major screwup at SAND DANCERS.  EPHRAIM lost 10 points to ST. 
CROIX.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe EPHRAIM will provide more easy wins...  
Try as he might, BOBWHITE wasn't good enough at persuading STUNNING INLAY to step 
down from the Duelmaster's throne...  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up 
fighting!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  How 
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of 
practive, SAND DANCERS!  In my day, no team with a 1533-1811-46 would scare me off!  
What's the problem, PERRY COUNTY?   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor.  You 
young rapscallions, take note!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  LIN 
TIRIAN is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  Time for my 
medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Leopold -- You aren't a 'stupid idiot' or you couldn't have learned that much, but 
this is MY season. -- March Hare

The arenamaster was disgusted.  And well she should be.  As an Alastarian she expects 
more from Fratsfans. -- Jenson

Well, I AM an orc even if my name sounds to highfalutin.  Being an orc is not bad. -- 
Ephraim

Ha!  I don't know what his ambitions are, but that guard is now French Toast. -- Medio 
Cur
P.S.  But I won't eat him.

Congrats to L.P. March Hare and go, go, go to Stunning Inlay. -- Smitty

Jenson, it must have just been my day. -- Tobinsport

Nicely done, March Hare, you took the rubber match and showedf you were just plain 
better than me. -- Leopold (feeling a little sad about it)

Medio Cur, you cur! -- St. Croix

Perry County, land of sewer pipe factories, and cotton mills, and safe manufacturers, 
and a major Ohio river dam. -- Smitty

The incursion of chaos creatures into northern Alastari has been stopped.  However, 
the gate they came through is open, and there are people from Alastari trapped on the 
other side.  They need to be rescued, and the gate needs to be closed.  If you have a 
Lord Protector whom you would like to send on this mission, please send a message to 
the Gladiatorial Commmission (email csr@reality.com or via diplo).  We will need to 
know their physical description, personality, and method of fighting.  We will select 
no more than a dozen volunteers.  Thank you!
