                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in MORDANT!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  Like, BLACK MONASTARY had to be 
so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by BLACK PANTHEON!  Way to go BLACK 
PANTHEON!  Uncool, BLACK JUNTA.  I mean 1-4-0 is bad.  Will they will be allowed to 
fight?  I say use 'em for training practice!  BLACK PANTHEON like really fought hard 
to move up to 1st from 5th.  Way to go!  Cut this out and put it in your scrapbooks, 
CARE LESS BEARS!  'Cause they got 5-0-0 and moved up to 10th!  MVP award for 
BULKHEAD?  BLACK ARMADA's proud of him after beating GESHI SCRIVENER and getting 20 
points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  MOONSHINE TEARS got smashed by OLYNDARIA, 
and lost 11 points!  What a putz!  IOSIO fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits 
fighting and loses the title.  No one said he was a genius...  Was that a tear I saw 
in DRAGON EMBER's eye, as she took over Duelmastership?  And wasn't BOXCAR fit to be 
tied!  Who was the wiseguy that said MORDANT's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at 
Conan's Place?  Don't look at me!   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  
PHILANTHROPISTS was the most avoided team.  Is a 24-18-1 record really that scary?  
Hhmph!  What kind of warriors are THE QUIET DOCTRINE?  PHILANTHROPISTS, an easy team 
to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation!   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Like, who is this beast???  SLOTH gets 
sent to the Dark Arena, battles HIGH ELF, and returns to tell of it!!!  I bet CHAOS 
KIDS manager is surprised!  Hey!  Quit laughing!  Just because DOPEY had 5-12-1 was 
no reason for CHAOS KIDS to send him to the Dark Arena!  Stop it!  What a bunch of 
heartless!  I couldn't believe how many people were snickering when ONE-EYED killed 
MORPHINE.  So she had a 6-12-2, that's no excuse!  What if they had a fight and 
nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I gotta leave.  MORDANT is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

Emu -- That was a Bloodfeud after my own heart. Nothing like an 85 point down-
challenge. Truly, truly well executed. Salute! -- Neon Necromancer

Philanthropists -- You are living up to your team name by giving me free wins with 
your futile Bloodfeuds. It warms my heart. -- Neon Necromancer

Philanthropists -- Dammit, man! Don't you know that it's only my warriors that are 
allowed to occupy the Duelmaster'sB throne for this long? As long as you are sitting 
there, write a damned column! -- Neon Necromancer

Tally from last turn: 19-6-1 overall, 10-2-1 vs NPCs (curse Chark Forkbeard!), 9-4-0 
vs the rest of youse. 10 of the top 13 warriors. Top five teams on the 'last 3 turns' 
side of things. Acceptable turn. Next turn promises the return of a half dozen 
warriors that were being held for this recent tourney, all of them good warriors 
(obviously). -- Neon Necromancer

Neon -- How is it, pray tell, that you are able to run, what, 5, 6, 7 teams in Mordant 
simultaneously?  Was the G.C. paid off?  I was considering firing up one of my old 
teams here last year when looking for a new second home, and I love bantering and 
crossing blades with you, but I don't like my five guys against your 30.  Not good 
odds. -- Stik
