SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt MORDANT will ever be the same. It seems the training can make the
difference, as SWEORDMASTERS is pushed out of top team by HOMICIDAL MANIACS, who came
from 2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there
are sorrows to drown for LAB EXPERIMENTS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4
into 7th. On their very first turn, MIGHTY MORALS II had a 3-0-0, and with this kind
of luck or skill, should do well. Welcome to MORDANT. And let's see, HONOR fought
SLEN SNOTNOSE and gained 19 points and contributed to MIGHTY MORALS II's 3-0-0.
ROOKIE MANAGER has lost to LIEUTENANT WOREL, falling 13 points, while helping make
HOMICIDAL MANIACS a 4-1-0 turn. Due to his absence and inability to defend the
throne, SNAG has lost the title of Duelmaster. And all eyes were on BRICK WALL this
turn as it ascended to the throne of Duelmaster. MORDANT has a new victor! Tell me,
is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Conan's Place uses
trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their
enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, MORDANT, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Well, I'm burning daylight here in MORDANT and I've a long
road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper--

PERSONAL ADS
Snag -- Dwarves are familiar to me from many building sites. You do not fit the
specifications of a dwarf, being high. This would appear to be a violation of the
basic architectural plans for dwarves. It may even be contrary to the Uniform
Building Code. Also, the way in which you dragged steel across my fabric, causing
showers of sparks to be thrown out, was an Unsafe Practice. Had there been any
flammables in the immediate vicinity, a conflagration could have resulted. I, of
course, would have been undamaged, but there are entities of a less fire-proof nature
who could have razed. I direct you to a re-examination of the Master Building Plan
and how your behavior does or does not conform. -- Brick Wall, channeled by Bottle of
Beer
Tien-Shu of Genrai should go home. I have taken the liberty issuing a command for
him to this effect: 1-558 go to province or arena 1 and rescue 1-558. If this does
not do the trick, we could try a Move order, or simply hope he gets killed. But we
need him out of here. -- Haydan
Ho! Moneybags Mefrin really throws it around when he's a little under the brew. It
does my heart good, warms its cockles and so on, to see him losing so definitively.
-- Bottle of Beer
P.S. Especially since he also lost one of his moneybags....
Amazing! Grunesh the Orc actually IS an orc. I thought the Commission didn't do
congrous stuff like that. But it's a neat effect: I got to beat the tar and other
fluids out of an orc! -- Rookie Manager
Grall the Deserter has no stamina; he fell down in the middle of my anecdote. Most
disappointing, but I could always tell it to the rest of you, and it might do you
some good, since it deals with a certain match during the tourney of the summer of
496 which involved a basher, at least I think he was a basher but he might have been
a striker with a bashing weapon, let me check my notes on that and get back to you,
and a slasher, or possibly a wall of steel running too fast, a wall of steel being
basically a parry-slash, of course, but anyway, it was the first match of the tourney
for both of these warriors and--

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists

The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the
Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our
alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
