SPY REPORT Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport. I doubt MORDANT will ever be the same. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for ROMAN EMPIRE, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 8 into 11th. DESOLATE TEMPLE stable has parlayed this turn's 3-2-1 into a 7 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 3rd place. Good work, guys! The AGENTS OF ISIRIS guild has had a 4-1-1 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, SALAMANDER fought STUPENDOUS MAN and gained 24 points and contributed to WIND STORM's 2-2-0. STUPENDOUS MAN has lost to SALAMANDER, falling 13 points, while helping make LAME SUPERHEROES a 0-1-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and MESSIAH remains MORDANT's top warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Conan's Place uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' Inscrutable, but true. DESOLATE TEMPLE has cause to stand tall, as they were MORDANT's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess who avoided DESOLATE TEMPLE stable the most? Believe it or not, it was AGENTS OF ISIRIS. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that OLD FART from DEATH'S DOOR was MORDANT's most challenged warrior this turn. In a brave attempt, KANDRIS from WIND STORM challenged up 25 points to fight OLD FART from the DEATH'S DOOR stable. KANDRIS perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he lost to OLD FART and ended up with 60 recognition points. CONNAVAR of AGENTS OF ISIRIS had better have a good reason for challenging down 9 points in a challenge which he won. I thought CONNAVAR showed great skill and promise when he overcame FROST. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace. Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. DEATH'S DOOR made what looks to be a tough decision this turn, as they sent S.S.'S TWIN, with a record of 8-6-0, to S.S.'S TWIN death. Farewell, his. Now it looks like JENNIFER is gone, and forgotten too, now that VOID did not revenge SWEORDMASTERS' HREOWAN for killing JENNIFER. Is it really true that MORDANT has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask... 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-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MESSIAH 7607 16 3 3 142 MANNEQUIN'S BEST (537) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HELLACIOUS 7541 17 3 0 194 MANNEQUIN'S BEST (537) -HREOWAN 7669 10 2 2 130 SWEORDMASTERS (138) TERCERO ENCANTO 7635 12 1 1 117 LAB EXPERIMENTS (261) NITE TRAIN 6583 10 9 3 111 GUNS-N-ROSES (314) MISCHIEVOUS IMP 7627 16 4 2 95 SWEORDMASTERS (138) CARACALLA 7115 9 6 0 94 ROMAN EMPIRE (531) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SPEEDWELL 7667 10 3 0 92 LAB EXPERIMENTS (261) KILL ME PLEASE 1721 15 6 0 91 DEATH'S DOOR (129) OLD FART 1723 14 7 0 91 DEATH'S DOOR (129) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BELESARIUS 7122 19 23 1 81 ROMAN EMPIRE (531) OLD HAG 4086 9 6 0 81 DEATH'S DOOR (129) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -CATIFF 7734 5 1 0 66 LETHAL HERITAGE (572) KANDRIS 6612 11 14 1 60 WIND STORM (144) CLODIUS AESOPUS 7116 9 10 0 60 ROMAN EMPIRE (531) -MY MICHELLE 6652 1 1 0 60 GUNS-N-ROSES (314) JIMMY WONG 7674 9 3 1 59 LAB EXPERIMENTS (261) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LAN 6724 7 9 0 56 WIND STORM (144) ROOKIE MANAGER 7639 11 19 1 53 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) DAEL 7696 7 1 1 53 SWEORDMASTERS (138) BLACK PLAGUE 1720 9 12 0 49 DEATH'S DOOR (129) SALAMANDER 7769 6 3 1 48 WIND STORM (144) STUPENDOUS MAN 6996 8 4 1 41 LAME SUPERHEROES (516) WOEBEGONE 7795 3 2 0 41 SWEORDMASTERS (138) BRUJAH 7730 6 3 1 40 LETHAL HERITAGE (572) BOOMER 7741 8 4 0 37 WIND STORM (144) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ENURAM 7851 2 0 2 33 DESOLATE TEMPLE (586) -ROCKET QUEEN 6674 4 2 1 31 GUNS-N-ROSES (314) -GANGREL 7733 3 2 0 30 LETHAL HERITAGE (572) -LAST REBEL 5896 3 2 0 29 JGW PERISHABLE (409) T.S.

I hope the future holds blue skies and free time and I'm able to terrorize Mordant as I should. Real life just bites sometimes. -- JGW Lord Xiang -- I will be participating in the Olympiad, but I am unsure of which team it will be with. I will announce a decision next turn. -- JGW Seraphim -- I'd like to personally thank you for sitting out Gold this long. You can tell I'm doing much better without that pud around! <eg> -- JGW To all the teams coming for the Olympiad -- Welcome and good dueling in the upcoming Olympiad. Hope you decide to stay in Mordant after the contest is up, and I hope you continue to run while your teams are losing. ;) -- JGW Catiff -- You knavel! How DARE you do that to me? You're just trying to make me look RIDICULOUS, aren't you? I can tell. You're MOCKING me. Well, I won't have it! I'll...stand in the corner and POUT. So there. -- Rookie Manager P.S.

Now it looks like my dream comes true. Count the Desolate Temple among the competitors. -- Toker, Desolate Empire Alliance Lord Xiang -- Looks like my p-ads got lost last turn. Kinda in a hurry, but wanted to let you know I am looking forward to the start of this. -- Toker P.S. A few others of the D.E. should be here soon. You were absolutely stunning. Good fight. Hopefully we won't see each other again! -- Rellik, D.T. (586) Comicus -- Can you believe that? I know you were happy! To be losing and close to finished, just to see your attacker fail at your feet! I wish I would have known! -- Kazach Frost -- I always thought Frost (cold) made steel brittle, huh! What do I know, I'm only half-Elven. -- Calas, D.T. (586) One Armed Bandit -- Here too! It's still good to see a familiar face in the new lands. This should be fun. -- Toker, mgr. Desolate Temple (586) Nick -- I'll do my best to be at least a little verbose on every turn. -- Toker 24 March 2006 A few notes about e-mailed personals: You may submit personal ads, columns, spotlights, etc. electronically, either via e- mail to ads at reality dot com (which doesn't need any more spam, thank you) or on the web at http://www.reality.com/duel2/modules.php?name=Ads. When you submit something, you should get back a receipt from HAL at RSI. If you do NOT get a receipt, your ads may have gone astray (not all e-mail makes it to its destination any more than all snail mail does). If you DO get a receipt, it should, in the body of the message, tell you what arena your stuff was filed in. Check your receipt to make sure your submission made it to the intended destination. Also check to see that everything you sent made it to the same place. Sometimes HAL, who is rather simple-minded in some ways, will send half your stuff to another arena if the name or number of that arena shows up at the beginning of a line. So if the word Ti appears at the beginning of a line halfway through your ads, all the ads after that may end up in Ti, which is closed and doesn't need ads. As a side note, sometimes things move slowly, so don't wait until the last minute to send your ads and all. If they get held up along the way, they may not show up until next turn. Happy writing! -- Ed. 28 March 2006 We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to welcome two managers to our fold. Kon of the Empire Rising, and Osiris! May they be blessed with the blood of their enemies, and give no quarter in War! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS S.S.'S TWIN was butchered by SPYMASTER in a 1 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.

RUG SACRIFICE 116 was murdered by SPYMASTER in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight. 21614179611 was viciously butchered by DARK CHAMPION in a 1 minute Dark Arena brawl. 91317179811 was narrowly killed by SHEWISH GIANT in a 2 minute Dark Arena fight.
