                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well, apparently my make-up artist had more pull then me. Or that reporter did. 
Apparently that has changed since I retained the throne. So here I am!

I (and my boss) don't particularly like down challenges, so I won't be making any 
challenge. First come first served for all of you kiddos out there. And yes, I called 
you kiddos. With a few exceptions, my 37 fights allows me to call you that.

And... yeah, maybe I should have let them interview my pedicurist. This talking stuff 
is hard.

Let's see if I hold on to this throne again.

                                          -- Undead Cat Woman

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail KATI-TEI!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as NAWLINS RU2 is pushed out 
of top team by DEATH'S  ARMY, who came from 2nd with a 2-3-0 this turn.  Now keep the 
taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for ZELDA, whose 1-0-0 this 
turn dropped them by 5 into 10th.  And let's see, DUCT MAN fought DUSTMITE and gained 
25 points and contributed to CONSTRUCTION's 1-0-0.  DUSTMITE has lost to DUCT MAN, 
falling 16 points, while helping make THE LOSERS a 0-1-0 turn.  Our last turn's 
Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to KHALHUMS DWARF, and UNDEAD CAT WOMAN has made the 
way for a new Duelmaster!  With UNDEAD CAT WOMAN clearing the throne, CONSTRUCTION of 
DUCT MAN takes a proud seat as KATI-TEI's new Duelmaster, by virtue of recognition 
points.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that 
The Warty Toad uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the NAWLINS RU2 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on KATI-TEI, what are you afraid 
of?  And guess who avoided NAWLINS RU2 stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
DEATH'S  ARMY.  Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that DUSTMITE from 
THE LOSERS was KATI-TEI's most challenged warrior this turn.  In a brave attempt, 
CRYPTO-COLLAPSE from DEATH'S  ARMY challenged up 22 points to fight BURU from the 
ZELDA stable.  CRYPTO-COLLAPSE perhaps got its just desserts, seeing as it was 
defeated by BURU and ended up with 40 recognition points.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover 
or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     I like this place, KATI-TEI, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls. 
Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep 
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in KATI-TEI again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
