                                      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.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

All -- Having read the online newsletter, it is evident I did not get any personals
in last turn (T539), so here they are. -- Lord Xiang

A warm welcome to Death's Door and Bam Bamx! -- Lord Xiang

Seraphim -- Are you sure you are using only virgins in your sacrifices?  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.
