                             Notes from the arena champ.

Here for yet another go around.  Still only 1 possible opponent tochallenge, 1 team to 
avoid.  The rest of the squad can at least avoid a 2nd team as well.  Not a lot of 
strategic variety.  Just need to keep an eye on the plate and swing at anything close.

                                      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, CIXELSID HEROES, since BAD 
SIGNS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Of course, we're all 
terribly impressed to see ABALACH-RE win a fight and gain 26 points, terribly.  Tsk, 
tsk, ABALACH-RE beat ECAPS GHOST and ECAPS GHOST lost 16 points.  You're breakin' my 
heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, TELORINTHE may be getting bland, as 0-2 
COUNT stays top dog in the city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I 
telling you this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, TELORINTHE?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  What's the big D?  SORCERER KINGS was the most avoided 
team?  Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like BAD 
SIGNS avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask 
me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, MR. ELBIDERCNI was this turn's most 
challenged warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave 
team is developing these kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in TELORINTHE to get a drink than The Dripping 
Blade!  Any suggestions?  Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so 
nice!  So nyaaah!  Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens
