                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  SOUL HAREM?  Who?  THE BLACK COMPANY is the top team these days, 
buddies!  HAWKS after a sorry 0-0-0 might want to consider abandoning the sands and 
taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues!  Nothing works for a team like 
victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as HOMICIDAL MANIACS can attest... 
MURGEN found out that MORDANT isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be 
Duelmaster here!  Word has it one team in MORDANT is taking speech lessons to try to 
bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Perhaps the warriors of LAB 
EXPERIMENTS should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  As a 
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of BLOOD AND IRON, so did that sorry 
team shy from LAB EXPERIMENTS Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  
Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, WAR MACHINE is the most challenged warrior.  Take 
heed MORDANT, of the unprincipled action of RAJA.  By challenging FISH BOWL MAN, 17 
points below him, RAJA besmirches the noble art of dueling.  RAJA overcame FISH BOWL 
MAN.  The whole thing leaves a bitter memory.  KING challenged DEMONKIN!  Who says 
KING'S TEN are just a bunch of wimps!  KING of KING'S TEN kept his wits as he won 
victory over DEMONKIN.   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Ask not for 
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     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.  Can anything 
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for MORDANT?  On that giddy note I take 
my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

Darkfist -- Thanks for the kind words, though it looks like we're ready to give up
all the ground we gained with that strong start.... -- King

Big-Headed Kat -- How about we arrange a rematch where the equipment guy doesn't hand
me the wrong weapon on the way into the arena? -- Fish Bowl Man

Eggplant?  What kind of name is that for a warrior?  And I thought *I* had a dumb
name.  Eggplant?  Gods, as well call you Okra! -- Number Two
P.S.  Okra, isn't she the woman that talks?

Alan A Dale -- You wretched toad!  You're not supposed to do that.  You haven't read
the fine print, have you? -- Haydan
P.S.  It says here that toads have jewels in their heads, but you don't need to worry
about that.  Only the BEST toads have jewels in their heads.

Myggen -- Nobody said anything about hawks to me!  They could have alerted me, but
NO.  Not MY inlaws.  They're probably laughing.  Bunch of bums, that's what they are.
Uncouth, too. -- Outlaw Inlaw

Julenissen -- (sigh of relief)  I wasn't sure I could do that, because you don't look
like any kind of fool.  Good fight. -- Foolcatcher

Ms. Tonte -- Of course I'm not more "popular" than you are.  The challenges which
came my way were due to the other warriors recognizing my superior intellect.  That
has nothing to do with "popularity." -- Haydan

Balthazar -- Well, good luck.  I've heard that the Mordant Deserter is nasty.  Not a
great fighter, maybe, but sneaky and underhanded.  That's why he deserted in the
first place, of course:  because he couldn't fit in here where we're all so
wonderful. -- Foolcatcher

Faceless -- You're a sweet child.  But you mustn't be too hard on the Tattooed
Dancer, as she has lead a difficult life and had an underprivileged childhood,
besides.  She doesn't deserve your reproaches, dear. -- Sort of Ghostlike Grammaw
P.S.  Although if you happened to feel like killing the cur, I certainly wouldn't
mind!  What an ungrateful wretch she is!  After all, a deprived childhood and a hard
life may be an EXPLANATION, but they aren't an EXCUSE, you know.

8 December 2003
Greetings!  I would like to invite everyone to Jhans (DM 36) for the first annual kLk
St. Valentine's Day Massacre (kill contest).  We will start the contest off with the
ceremonial burning of the Andorian flag on turn 450.  (Six turns away.  Roughly mid-
February.)  The contest will run for 10 turns.  On turn 461, 3 separate victors will
be announced.  Team with the most kills, warrior with the most kills, and alliance
with the most kills.  Prizes will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most
kills and to the manager of the warrior with the most kills.  The prizes will
probably be team roll-ups.  The number of roll-ups has yet to be determined.  The
contest is sponsored by Jhans' newest, (but by the time the contest starts) largest
alliance, the kLk (pronounced "klick"). -- Polarius, mgr. of Blitzkrieg DM 36
