SPY REPORT
Hail MORDANT! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as SWEORDMASTERS is pushed out
of top team by LIVE FROM MOSCOW!, who came from 10th with a 4-1-0 this turn. Now
keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for JGW'S
DARKNESS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 7 into 23rd. LIVE FROM MOSCOW!
stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 9 space move up the rankings. This
brings them up to 1st place. Good work, guys! The STEEL LEGION guild has had a
3-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind
of thing can lead. MORDANT welcomes a new team to our ranks, unofficially of course,
for now. But welcome nonetheless to PLAGUED. Let's see what you can do. And let's
see, GLUTIUS MAXIMUS fought GESHI SCRIVENER and gained 21 points and contributed to
ROMAN EMPIRE's 4-1-0. FENDER BENDER has lost to CALIS, falling 12 points, while
helping make HOMICIDAL MANIACS a 1-4-0 turn. This week's Duelmaster bout was between
MOUNTAIN TROLL and our Duelmaster MESSIAH, making a Dark Arena Challenge. The
attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and MESSIAH remains MORDANT's top
warrior for another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night,
cramped under the table at Conan's Place?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the
SWEORDMASTERS stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on MORDANT, what are
you afraid of? And avoiding SWEORDMASTERS more than any other team we find WIND
STORM. MORDANT, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most
challenged warrior this turn was JGW PERISHABLE's warrior LAST REBEL. More fighters
challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! Well now, what do you expect when
someone like N'AZADAR from DESOLATE TEMPLE challenges down 16 points to fight BELY
MEDVED of LIVE FROM MOSCOW!? Well, will you look at this, N'AZADAR was subdued by
BELY MEDVED, and DESOLATE TEMPLE will have to explain why they made such a challenge
in the first place. In a brave attempt, DANYAL from AGENTS OF OSIRIS challenged up
19 points to fight BALLAST from the SEA DOGS stable. DANYAL perhaps got hers just
desserts, seeing as she was subdued by BALLAST and ended up with 8 recognition
points. DECADO of AGENTS OF OSIRIS had better have a good reason for challenging
down 8 points in a challenge which he won. I thought DECADO showed great skill and
promise when he beat COMICUS. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. MESSIAH must have surprised MANNEQUIN'S BEST this turn, after they sent him
to the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena couldn't hold him! Congratulations go out to
ROMAN EMPIRE, with BELESARIUS revenging a bloodfeud against JIMMY WONG of LAB
EXPERIMENTS. Is it really true that MORDANT has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Always good to rest in MORDANT, but never good to wear out my welcome.
Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in MORDANT again, farewell--
Alarond the Scribe

Rules of the Olympics
A turn late, I'm afraid, not a good start for the Keeper of Records for the
Olympics. I apologize and make no excuses.
1) The contest will run from May 1st (T544) through Oct 30 (T557) in the
Mordant arena (DM-1).
2) The three teams with the best win-loss record, based on percentage, will be
awarded the Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards (prizes still being determined for Gold/
Silver with Bronze being 'bragging rights').
3) Each team will consist of one or more managers running upwards of three
teams each, with managers and stables to be declared prior to the start of the
Olympics in either the Mordant personal ads, posting on the forums, or emailed to
Lord Xiang (amicitia@gwi.net).
4) Each team will need to qualify in order to be awarded their medals. In
order to qualify, a team must meet a certain fight total minimum, which will differ
from team to team, determined by numbers of stables participating on that team.
These totals shall be determined, and posted, by no later than T546, when the second
turn results are posted. This prevents a team going 80 percent on round one and
sitting out the rest of the contest to secure the Gold.
5) Qualification formula is as follows: ST x 4w x 14r where ST is number of
stables declared participating for that team, 4w is 4 warriors per team run on
average, and 14r is the 14 rounds that May-October covers. This gives each stable
the opportunity to either hold one or two warriors out for tourney timing over a
short timeframe, or a buffer in case the mail does not get to RSI on time. I am
certain managers will find other uses for the built in buffer, as well.
6) The Olympic Committee reserves the right to amend or edit these rules up
until the turn prior to the start of the contest. Finalized rules will be posted in
the newsletter the turn prior to the start of the contest.
7) The Olympic Committee reserves the right to break any ties that may occur
using their discretion. Be aware that there may be a decision that is not popular.
The only tie-breaker that will be stated that if there is a tie between an Olympic
Committee member and a non-committee member, all else being equal, the non-committee
member will get the advantage.
We want to wish all the participants the best. Remember, the top three
winningest teams that qualify will earn some nifty stuff! -- Amicitia Primoris (which
is: Lord Xiang, Dameon Darkheart, JGW, Seraphim)
I have the following entrants (as of 4/21) for the Olympics. Amicitia Primoris (Lord
Xiang, Dameon Darkheart, JGW, Seraphim), Desolate Empire (Toker, Osiris), Iron
Council (Tripwire, Hucklecat), LBA (One-Armed Bandit), and the Independents (Var,
Mannequin, Otis the Drunk). Now, there can be some changes to this list if somebody
contacts me through email or PM on the boards before the start date.
The stables involved are: Wind Storm, Void, JGW Perishable, Steel Legion, Agents of
Osiris, Desolate Temple, Sea Dogs, Live From Moscow!, Death's Door, Roman Empire,
Sweordmasters, Mannequin's Best, Lab Experiments, and Dragonlance. Fourteen stables,
seven teams, twelve managers. No mercy.
All -- There is an addition to the Olympics contest. SwineTiger running She's
Crafty. Best of luck! And welcome back after all these years! -- Lord Xiang
Olympic Contestants -- The following prizes will be assigned at the end of the
competition:
Gold will be allowed to choose a single Olympic warrior per manager to know that
warriors Favorites.
Silver will have a Commission warrior named after their manager.
Bronze will have that coveted prize of Bragging Rights!
This year's Olympics has a very worthy prize, but the Commission has granted
that only a single manager can receive this reward, so the Best Overall Stable record
shall have six months to enter their warriors with no attached Commission fees! --
Lord Xiang
Messiah -- Congratulations on your Invite! If you do as well on the Isle as you have
done here, you will represent Mordant well. -- Lord Xiang
Hucklecat -- Welcome to Mordant! I hope you find the atmosphere here one of
wenching, boozing, and debauchery! Oh, yeah, one of good competition, too! -- Lord
Xiang
P.S. NICE first turn!!
Ahhhh, somebody that writes spots! A welcome addition to our arena!! -- Lord Xiang
Nick -- TOGS is a FINE example for enlivening an arenas spots/ads! I shall endeavor
to emulate that wonderful example of literary brilliance for the following Olympics!
And to further improve upon that example, I shall take Nuln's almost-adopted
suggestion and require the whole bit be submitted in Pig Latin!! -- Lord Xiang
P.S. Don't shut down during the Olympics, for we shall miss your contributions to
the arena.
Anything in pig Latin will be turned into bacon and fed to HAL. -- Ed.
Rookie Manager -- Knavel. Hmm. (looks down) Yeah, I have a belly button. So what?
If you don't, it just proves you were hatched! *wink* -- Catiff
Osiris/Hucklecat -- Gotcha entered! -- Lord Xiang
Dael -- One of these days. ONE OF THESE DAYS!!! -- Kandris
Kazach -- Indeed. That shall be your fate, if you should so tempt it again! -- TS
Talon Volksie
All -- I have only one of my three teams participating in the Olympics (Wind Storm).
If I run any warriors off the other two, it shall only be for tourney timing
purposes, and shall offer no challenges to contestants. This may result in wins or
losses from random matchups, but they will not actively interfere with the contest.
-- Lord Xiang
Black Plague -- Oh-HO. A half elf, are you? Well, that explains a LOT. What you're
saying is, the elves are responsible for this whole "plague" business, yes? They
hate us humans, because we're BETTER than they are. They're out to GET us. Well! I
can tell you that I hate them right BACK. So there. -- Rookie Manager
Rellik -- I don't care if you're a half elf. You have wonderful fenders. I could
bend them all day. -- Fender Bender
N'azadar -- If your temple is so desolate, you probably need to plant flowers. Maybe
some hanging ferns inside. A paint job--sunny yellow, for instance, or pink, or even
light blue--and flowery carpets will also help. Feel free to consult with me on
these details. We'll make it a pleasant place of worship in no time. -- China Bull
Connavar -- What is Osiris up to that he needs agents, eh? -- Beerin Bottleman
Decado -- Too bad you aren't female. Maniacal attacks on females are a specialty of
mine. -- Random Maniac
P.S. Have you considered a sex-change operation?
All -- As of the Sunday prior to this running, you can add SwineTiger managing She's
Crafty under the Independent flag. Best wishes!! -- Lord Xiang
Lord Xiang -- If you have posted the contest rules somewhere, could you let me know?
Or, if it's easier you can email me at: darkknighttoker@yahoo.com. Thanx! -- Dark
Knight Toker
Nick -- I hope you stay around even if you don't compete. I like a talkative arena!
-- D.K. Toker
Osiris -- I see you gained your power back! At least you're not managing The Agents
of Isiris anymore!!! What did you give Isis for her to relinquish her hold on you?
Anyway...uh...I guess we best be ready when this contest starts. After my last turn,
I might need to be possessed! -- D.K. Toker
China Bull -- Good fight. I just wanted to see if China could shatter. I saw some,
but I think the bull saved you! -- N'Azadar, Barren Blade D.T. (586)
Last Rebel -- Didn't expect you, that's for sure. Good fight, and I hope we meet
again on my terms! Soon! -- Enuram, Barren Blade
Fender Bender -- Just my luck!! A blind challenge on a scouting mission, and I pick
you! Damn! -- Rellik Barren
T.S. Talon Volksie -- That wasn't a favorable matchup for me! None of my fights have
even been close to favorable. What am I gonna do? If I don't start getting my
challenges through or at least start winning, I think there may be torches in my
future! -- Kazach, Barren Blade
Larry King -- I will see you again. Bet on that! -- Calis, Barren Blade
Dark Knight Ancient Creep -- Hope you show this turn as time is running out! Is Goat
going to make it? -- D. K. Toker
All/Lord Xiang -- I bring my Team of the Dark Order (588) to the Olympics to be
included in the contest. We represent the Desolate Empire. -- Ancient Creep, Dark
Knight of The Desolate Empire
Dark Knights of The Desolate Empire -- Let the D.E. have a good showing during the
Olympics. -- Ancient Creep, Dark Knight of the Desolate Empire
Lord Xiang -- How do you know she's really a witch? -- D.K. Osiris
Throw her into a lake! (Decado)
Burn her! (Beltzer)
No, No, No -- Why do witches burn? (Osiris)
-- silence --
Because she's made of wood? (Decado)
Precisely! (Osiris)
Osiris and Toker -- You silly dark Ka-Nig-its! -- Barrenblade Danyal
Dark Knight Toker -- Let's step it up for the contest, but where are the rules? We
definitely need to rep the D.E. and show we're no Brand X! -- Dark Knight Osiris
11 April 2006
To all those lookin' for some easy pickins: I, Elfwine, manager of The Shallowship,
the most feared team in all of Jhelum, invite all who seek wide open spaces for pubs
and other such establishments of limited debauchery, to visit this deserted city and
help me clear up some of the dust. I'm just about ready to have my guys face off
against each other to get some new action. Guess I'd better join a tournament or
something...hmmmm, there's a thought.
