"We shouldn't be having another Dark and Stormy Night, should we?" the mild-
mannered reporter asked. He was darting uneasy looks in all directions.
"Why not?" Lady Protector Sandy said. "It's the season for it. Besides," she
paused to scowl at the heavy black stone from which most of Mordant was built, "ALL
nights are dark here, and most of them are stormy, too, and we haven't used up the
first one yet, anyway. So what?" Her expression suggested that he'd better not have
a problem with that.
Not being a stupid man, he said, "Oh, nothing. Just, uh, noticing. Lots of
villains out on dark, stormy nights," he added, suddenly inspired. "Good for my
busi-- Uh. A busy time for superheroes. The phone booth is probably fully booked
tonight."
"I've wondered about that sometimes," Sandy said as she strode along. "Why
they're called phone booths."
"I have heard that on another world they--"
"I figure it's because the people who use them are all phoneys, one way or
another." She fixed him with a glittering look that dared him to argue.
"Well... if you mean they have secret identities--"
"Using aliases. Sounds phoney to me. And Haydan's involved in it, so it's got
to be suspicious."

SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. MORDANT needs a spyreport." Oh, well. MVP award for
NUMEROLOGISM? THE REVELATION's proud of it after beating GESHI SCRIVENER and getting
19 points. Talk about yer big time losers! CRAP CAT got smashed by HAYDAN, and lost
8 points! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think THINREDONE should
let NUMBER TWO be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. Is the
Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All MORDANT ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to
hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Swallowtail -- It seems odd to fight you myself. And I fear that I will be getting,
um, unkined thoughts, so to speak, from the Brick Wall because of it. That's why I
wanted to be so fast, you understand. If it's over quickly, the Wall might not be so
upset. I'm glad you took no permanent harm, ma'am. -- Number Two, trying harder
Jejune -- We unite to thank you most sincerely. -- all the other Homicidal Maniacs
Destiny -- Not NOW, woman! I don't have time to share your bathtub, though I
understand that you're frantic for my company. But Sandy's after me! -- Haydan
P.S. And somebody overstayed their allotted time in the Phone Booth, probably
running up an enormous bill, but that's not my problem, thank the gods. Still, I'm
going to have to go all the way across town to the Other Booth, and I really don't
have time for side issues.
Crap Cat -- Uh... I guess the Brick Wall doesn't have anything cogent to say to you.
At least, it isn't sending me any psychic messages, and for THAT, I thank you. --
Number Two
Slen Snotnose -- Euwh! Get AWAY from me! -- Third Charmer
Five active teams, eleven active warriors? A telling pair of numbers there. -- Nick

Youngblood's Three and Out Contest
I would like to take this time to announce and invite all managers to compete in what
I think will be an awesome contest. If you haven't ever TC'd at a tourney before,
here is your chance. The contest will start Wednesday, December 1, 2004, but a
chance will be given November 17 to dark arena, only, any warrior that you do not see
fit to run in the contest. So now that I have your attention, here are the rules
(like you didn't know they were coming sooner or later).
1. Any manager participating can enter one team, only.
2. No sandbagging whatsoever. (I will keep up with it, every turn.)
3. No teams or warriors will be allowed to run after contest starts.
4. All warriors will run until they lose three times, after three losses they are
eliminated.
5. If a warrior sits out a turn, they are accounted with a loss in the contest.
This is to keep warriors with winning records from sitting out until the end of
the contest.
6. If a warrior is killed during the contest, the replacement cannot enter the
contest.
7. If a warrior is killed, bloodfeuding is allowed, but only by a warrior that is
active in the contest.
8. If a warrior is run after being eliminated, the manager is disqualified from the
contest, no questions asked.
9. Challenges are legal, up or down.
10. Contest will keep going until 1 warrior is left without three losses, and that
warrior, of course, is accounted the winner.
11. All managers participating will be asked to purchase a rollup certificate, to be
awarded to the winners of the contest.
<<<PRIZES>>>
As I have already said, and according to participation, rollups will be awarded
to the first and second place managers. So the majority and minority of the rollups
will be determined when all are accumulated.
Contest Champion--2 Faves prizes, and majority of rollup certificates
Contest Runner-up--1 Faves prize, and minority of rollup certificates
So once again I invite all managers old and new to participate in what should be
a fierce and challenging contest. <<<REMEMBER, FIRST OFFICIAL TURN OF THE CONTEST IS
DECEMBER THE FIRST, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE TURN BEFORE (NOVEMBER 17TH) YOU MAY
DARK ARENA CHALLENGE ONLY!!! ANY WARRIOR WITH ANY FE (FIGHT EXPERIENCE) WHEN THE
CONTEST STARTS WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE CONTEST.
