                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well that was an unexpected result on many fronts...

5-0, 2 kill intents...  There will definitely be some extra work in the weeks and 
months ahead for this crew.  You don't get to rest on prior kills on this stable. Who 
are you killing today?

It seems that our youngsters have gone back to their fancy phones and texting and have 
lost interest in words.  Understandable, I guess.  When they return, I'll still be 
here, trash talking away (even though I have mostly nothing to trash talk about -- but 
why should that be a limiting factor).

As for the regular suspects, get off your lazy butts and start contributing to this 
fine arena! (Aged Sage obviously aside, he has been consistent!)

                                          -- General Bashur

Your daddy is so dumb it takes him an hour to cook minute rice.

Your daddy is so stupid, when someone told him that he lost his mind, he went looking 
for it.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, TELORINTHE?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, SUPER BRASH BROTHERS, since 
THE DRAGONS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Now keep the 
taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for SUPER BRASH BROTHERS, 
whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 5th.  Ha!  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see YOKAZA win a fight and gain 24 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, SALACIA 
VILE beat 14 DAY QUARANTINE and 14 DAY QUARANTINE lost 15 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, TELORINTHE may be getting bland, as 
MARIAH stays top dog in the city.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how 
else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
What's the big D?  THE DRAGONS was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... 
grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice?  
Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was SUPER BRASH BROTHERS.  Ha ha ha ha!  Ooh, I'm 
frightfully impressed, SACHA was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch that ego 
swell, sports fans.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for TELORINTHE's 
morgue.  More variety.  Ya gotta go sometime, and REVOLVER's time was this time.  
Hmmm, not a bad fighter, had he lived... (what?  me pity?).  Seriously now, is it 
really honorable for WINDSHEAR from THE DRAGONS to kill REVOLVER and give CLASSICS 
the chance to bloodfeud?  Mmmm, could be.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess 
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Just wait 'till next time I show up 
here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need 
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

All -- Bibidee has finally died.  Truth be told, I was expecting it a lot sooner.  He 
started off great with an 9-4-1 record before I tried to off him myself in the Dark 
Arena.  It didn't work, so I decided to keep running him.  Oh well, while I would have 
rather he died sooner rather than later, you cannot question the Fates.  9-9-14-15-15-
12-11 N/G with a Master Init, Expert Riposte, AdEx Attack, and Expert Decise.  He was 
-1 Riposte; I am sure Rip was his fave learn too. -- Master Darque

Windshear -- While the death wasn't a surprise, we still have to feud for the honor.  
We are confident we don't have anything that can beat you, but that doesn't mean we 
can't try. -- Sorcerer Kings

Classics -- After proofing my turns, I'm pretty sure I made you the most avoided team 
this cycle. -- Master Darque

RUGS -- You continue to disappoint me. -- Master Darque

Sacha's sorcery has enthralled the fans! -- Erdelf

Bibidee's wizardry has bewitched the audience! -- Erdelf

Erdelf -- You're beginning to understand the magic of the Sorcerer Kings. -- Lady of 
Green

Classics -- Keep doing what's been working for you!  76% wins! -- Erdelf

Classics -- But if you're doing dual-shielded sparring dummies, then stop! -- Sageherd

Osu Miko -- Rationality is not the opposite of the Green's deep strong passions. 
Deadness is. -- Lady of Green

Irontail -- A rematch, I demand! -- Shake Spear

Ode to Mariah:
She rocked her crib,
tore her bib,
baby Mariah.
She socked the boys,
broke her toys,
girl Mariah.
Is it any wonder
she put us all under,
Duelmaster Mariah! -- Shake Spear
