                             Notes from the arena champ.

When you are fighting me and you consider my record...and my style...and my 
stature...you think...I can beat that guy! No problem...I've beat WAY tougher 
guys than this! Then if you are an offensive type usually you either beat me 
around a little bit...then you start to get tired. Then it's my turn. OR I 
jump you and you have ZERO chance.

Or if you are defensive you think...there is no WAY this shrimp can do enough 
damage to me! Then the criticals start...and never stop until you do. I can 
excel at your weakness or take away your strength no matter who you are. That 
is...if I know who I'm fighting! Spring is upon us so Mighty Snowfall will be 
departing, hopefully replaced with someone a bit more...bright! I will be 
challenging Signing Guy Love to try my strategy out against his style. My goal 
is to challenge and successfully defend the throne until I leave. Time will 
tell how I do!

                                          -- Hatu Wind

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  OF WOLF & TP after a sorry 0-0-0 might want to 
consider abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues!  
What's a move up by 4 you ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for 
celebration, according to READY PLAYER ONE.  THE BLACK EXPRESS posted a nice gain, to 
come in 4th.  Everybody loves a winner...  SIMPLY DESSERTS had cause to celebrate, 
after BEIGNET got 31 points by beating NECRONOMICON.  NECRONOMICON certainly had a 
baffled expression on its face, after losing to BEIGNET and losing 15 points in the 
process!  Duelmaster HATU WIND from UTAH WEATHER is going for the gold, as he 
challenged CHECK YO SELF's SINGING GUY LOVE.  Ooh, the excitement!  Those who hoped 
for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by SINGING GUY LOVE, of CHECK YO SELF, who 
despite a 10-5-0 couldn't overcome MORDANT's Number 1.  So who's the team that's been 
walking into taverns last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     And how sociable are MORDANT's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like the noble 
eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of SIMPLY DESSERTS, 
alone and unchallenged.  The warriors of SIMPLY DESSERTS found their efforts at 
combat frustrated as FANTASIA apparently had more important things to do than fight.  
If challenges were horses, SINGING GUY LOVE could open up a fast food joint!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  HIGH ELF in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for MIGHTY SNOWFALL of UTAH WEATHER.  
Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at Conan's Place will be!  Questions are being 
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in 
MORDANT would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  My fingers tire and I fear my incessant 
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character.  Like a mixed 
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid MORDANT farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
