                             Notes from the arena champ.

As the current Leader of PUD Power which can only be lead by a leader such as I. 
Someone whho can take the duel master and show all those with out the power of the PUD 
how to take the reigns of leadership. Thus I SCRAGG Tagg will now use this power for 
the power it is defined to recruit superior warriors as to the lame warriors of other 
managers. For I as Scragg Tagg the magnificent shall hold this position 'til 
graduation.

(Manager behind Pud Power Disavows all comments by this warrior.)

                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
VEASTIAN.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Say 
good-bye to NIGHT TRAIN II, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 
FLYING CIRCUS II stable.  Coming up with a solid 3-0-0 outing, FLYING CIRCUS II has 
advanced 4 places in the rankings.  Hey everybody, watch out for HIPPO SWAN, who flew 
up 31 points in the rankings after mashing GEIGER like a melon.  Keep your eye on 
this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was INGOT, who dropped 13 points 
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with GAPPDA GHOULASH.  Unlike most 
arenas, SCRAGG TAGG managed to get hers challenge off against the 10-6-0 SPINY 
NORMAN.  In front of all the crowds, SPINY NORMAN took the Duelmaster's crown for his 
own.  I give the bum two weeks.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to 
deliver this stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Did you hear that FAR TRAVELERS was most 
avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the personal hygiene of FAR TRAVELERS' 
warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch PUD POWER's act 
in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from FAR TRAVELERS.  
Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, GAPPDA GHOULASH would be president.  
Although it may be a contest it doesn't want to win.   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Here's some advice:  warriors with little wit and will may 
encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real 
fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster
