                             Notes from the arena champ.

Sorry, Talcama. Not a lot of time to scribe this cycle, but at least you get a 
missive. Not sure what Sea Dogs are going to do in terms of BloodfeudingB me, but they 
are welcome to take a shot at the throne. (I am kind of hoping he feuds with his 
newest warrior, just so I can witness how much I teach him.) Personally, I am kind of 
surprised to be here. Nevertheless, I will take the recognition the throne of Talcama 
brings, and hope the Lady of the Isle notices me soon. I am eager to join my husband 
there. (Lord Lightspeed has been there many, many moons.)

I also noticed that not only did I claim the Duelmaster's throne, but my teammates 
also did enough to win Mad Scientists five arena awards! Who doesn't love free stuff?

Until next cycle, may the gods guide your blows straight and true!

                                          -- Lady Lightyear, Duelmistress

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
TALCAMA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, SEA DOGS, since OF WOLF 
AND MAN 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 OF WOLF AND MAN 9, 
whose 1-2-0 this turn dropped them by 6 into 11th.  Ha!  THE EMERALD ISLES turned 
their 4-1-0 turn into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than 
this, and you get put on hit lists.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see 
SHOT OF BOURBON win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, ALLURING beat 
BARON BARYON and BARON BARYON lost 13 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Looks like 
TALCAMA has some guts at least, LADY LIGHTYEAR the Duelmaster was this turn's 
most-challenged warrior.  MAD MC SNUGGLES challenged TALCAMA's Duelmaster for a shot 
at the throne.  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as MAD MC SNUGGLES takes 
the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  Kickbacks and 
bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their 
fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  What's 
the big D?  WATCHMEN was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... grumble... 
mumble... curse...  And it looks like THE EMERALD ISLES avoided them the most this 
turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  And what a stunning loss we have here, boys and 
girls, AMYS KITCHEN of INANIMATE TOFU has added the final loss to hers 6-7-0.  Tee 
hee!  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these 
kinds of weapons?   
     There's got to be a better place in TALCAMA to get a drink than The Original 
Arthur's Last Stand!  Any suggestions?  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before I leave 
the fine city of TALCAMA.  I feel much better now.  I see the crowds are getting 
restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens
