                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well, I honestly didn't expect to be sitting atop the rankings this turn, looking down 
on the rest of you Eg-heads.  But, I will take what is offered, and sitting on this 
comfy throne is quite nice.  It can only hasten The Lady taking notice of me, and 
sending me an invite.

Until next time, Dwes Eg.  May the gods guide your blows straight and true!

                                          -- The Lava Blade

                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon DWES EG, for 
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Managers were muttering after FALLEN MASTERS 
showed DWES EG what they could do:  1-2-0 to move up by 12.  Those betting on THE 
BLACK LEAGUE lost their shirt, as THE BLACK LEAGUE lost their fighting abilities:  
0-2-0.  Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but FAMOUS GOLFERS 
will tell you 26-26-2 is nothing to laugh at...  Practice pays for THUNDERCLAP, who 
pummelled GREY INIQUITY, to pocket 19 points.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of 
which, STARCAST was winsome, after beating SOLDIER 3 and seeing him lose 17 points.  
SOLDIER 2 found out that DWES EG isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be 
Duelmaster here!  So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and 
challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  THUNDERCLAP of BIG STRONG MEN spared GREY INIQUITY (10-7-0) from having to 
lose any more fights.  What's your next plan, THE BLACK LEAGUE?  Ask not for whom the 
sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  More important duties call me.  Can anything 
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for DWES EG?  On that giddy note I take 
my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
