SPY REPORT Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! The boys at MANNEQUIN'S BEST left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by SWEORDMASTERS. Good show! He who laughs last didn't get the joke. Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe JGW'S DARKNESS. Last week they got 1-4-0 to drop by 5! What's a move up by 4 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to DEATH'S DOOR. SEA DOGS posted a nice gain, to come in 6th. Everybody loves a winner... The boys at DESOLATE TEMPLE are walking tall, as they are ranked 10th on their first try! Going for the Duelmaster soon? Practice pays for ENURAM, who pummelled GESHI SCRIVENER, to pocket 21 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 10 points to T.S. TALON VOLKSIE. (Discrete enough, LORD DOOM?) Well, Duelmaster MESSIAH Bloodfeuded GUNS-N-ROSES' NITE TRAIN. Is a 14-3-3 good enough? MESSIAH successfully staved off a grab for the roses by NITE TRAIN of GUNS-N-ROSES. Does MORDANT have no one talented enough to dethrone him? So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. 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 DEATH'S DOOR should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of DEATH'S DOOR found their efforts at combat frustrated as WIND STORM apparently had more important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses, KILL ME PLEASE could open up a fast food joint! Willing to win at any cost is HREOWAN, who challenged KILL ME PLEASE, 11 points junior. Our sympathies, KILL ME PLEASE! I thought HREOWAN showed great skill and promise when he overcame KILL ME PLEASE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors. Word has it SWEORDMASTERS is planning on terminating more VOID members, if they have so little to fear from revenge... Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in MORDANT would I avoid! Do not think spyreporting in MORDANT is the highlight of my life. As the seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. MORDANT, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at Conan's Place.

A non-virgin sacrifice is tantamount to insulting the RUGs. Remember to keep your sheep away from you-know-who. -- Lord Xiang See, JGW, I didn't mention you once in connection to Seraphim's problem. -- Lord Xiang Cobalt -- I don't make a habit of killing off legionnaires. One is not a habit. Two would be a coincidence. I'd start to worry at three. *grin* -- Salamander Mischievous Imp -- I am glad you have avenged your fallen teammate. I am getting close to what my manager is calling a 'breakpoint' and there was mention about my sitting out a fight or three. -- Brujah Jimmy Wong -- There is always hope. Sometimes for the warrior. Sometimes for the manager, as he hands the warrior a torch. *grin* -- TS Talon Volksie Rookie Manager -- Hmmm. That personality thing? Yeah, I would say you are cool as can be. After all, temperature in a vacuum is, um, on the cool side. -- Lan Nick -- Okay, okay. How about Redneck Rabbit? He's a bunny with a built in gun- rack! *grin* -- Lord Xiang p.s. Yes, Tax Audit would be the scary name to end all scary names. Random Maniac -- Pain makes you stronger? Well, I will see about organizing a strengthening regimen for you. *evil grin* -- Salamander Beerin Bottleman -- I'm sorry, I must be mistaken. The person I know doesn't have a false mustache. -- Tarmon Gai'don Maddened Bellhop -- Chips? Oh, the POKER chips. If you wanted to be dealt in, you should have ASKED!! -- Catiff We bid Welcome Poker Greats and Sea Dogs! -- Lord Xiang, mgr. Vortex, Wind Storm, Lethal Heritage Cladius Aesopus -- Gutsy challenge. I probably would have done the same, considering my record. -- Kandris Old Fart -- Stale, too. Geez, that's ripe!! I couldn't focus on the fight. GAH!! Next time, I bring a clothespin for my nose. -- Lan Grall the Deserter?!? As many teams as we have in the arena, and I get a STAND-BY?!? -- Boomer Durban Poison -- I'm sorry I could not teach you as well as you taught me, my friend. -- Salamander Soulcrusher -- Almost. I almost had you, big boy! Hope you don't smack your girlfriends around like that. I'm ready for a shelter after the drubbing you gave me. -- TS Poison Ivy Grall gets around. First Boomer, then me. Grrrr. -- TS Talon Volksie Grunesh the Orc -- At least you aren't Grall. *sigh* -- Brujah Redbeard -- I bet you aren't a natural red! Your eyebrows are black, bud. Nice learns. I will defeat you next time, however. -- Malkavian SS's Twin -- Bah! Next time I beat you silly, you'd better teach me something!! -- Catiff OAB -- Welcome! You are listed. There is yet still time for more LBA to arrive. They just need to be properly motivated. *grin* -- Lord Xiang Beerin Bottleman -- Kegs and mugs only? Boy, are YOU missing out! I have never limited myself based on containers. There are some mighty fine brews that only come in bottles. -- Catiff Beerin Bottleman -- Where does one sign up for the CLTMB? -- Tarmon Gai'don All -- Poker Greats is in for the Olympics. -- Tripwire, The Iron Council Woebegone -- Ah, now, I can help you with that. I have the very thing. Step on over here, take a seat, and drink up! -- Beerin Bottleman Old Hag -- And you're a WICKED WITCH, too! Get away from me, you! -- Rookie Manager P.S. You don't belong here, anyway. This gladiating is a young man's game, you know, and you are NOT a young man. Basket Case -- You trying to make me take up basket weaving? I heard them talking in the Infirmary when they thought I wasn't listening. *I* know what's going on here! No way! I know what THAT leads to, and I'm having NONE of it. -- Random Maniac, but not a FOOL, you know Death's Escort? Death is afraid to travel without an escort? Figures, and HE'LL have a lead-filled suitcase TOO, won't he? -- Maddened Bellhop P.S. How about if I drop this off the balcony, and YOU can bring it up next time. P.P.S. I'm dead? I don't have TIME to be dead. Get somebody ELSE to do it. Ed. -- Yes, indeed. They don't want to fight on gladiatorial teams any more. (sigh) They want to MANAGE teams. And they do it. Oh, well, better they try to kill off other managers than come after me! -- Nick Yes, but it does leave you with your original problem. Maybe actors? -- Ed. The Saint -- There are a lot of sickos in the Commission Office, aren't there? -- Nick I ain't sayin'. Some of 'em have quite a way with blunt instruments. -- The Saint Everybody -- This arena is growing by lurches and creeps, and the personals are all (except the Bandit's intro) ours? Xiang, you need to put a "points for personals" deal in your rules. -- Nick 22 February 2006 The Olympics have arrived! The Mordanti Olympics, having been gone for six years, have returned to the Mordanti Alliance, sponsored by Amicitia Primoris. Teams have competed against each other for recognition and notoriety four times in the past. It is far past time for the fifth Mordanti Olympics to be held. The Mordanti Olympics shall be held in the Mordant arena (DM-1) from May 1st (T544) through Oct 30 (T557). There will be a 'registration period' lasting until T543, where teams will be allowed to register by activating in Mordant and declaring their participation in the personals. Rules will be posted in the Mordant arena (DM-1) newsletter no later than T543, but shall be available online before then. An announcement will be made as to where they will be posted. Prizes will be awarded to the winners.
