                                      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 MANNEQUIN'S BEST is pushed 
out of top team by ROMAN EMPIRE, who came from 3rd with a 4-1-0 this turn.  JGW 
PERISHABLE stable has parlayed this turn's 2-2-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings. 
This brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  The DEATH'S DOOR 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.  And let's see, MISS CARGOT fought NICE TRY KATE and gained 11 
points and contributed to LAB EXPERIMENTS' 2-1-1.  COMICUS has lost to WINDREAVER, 
falling 8 points, while helping make ROMAN EMPIRE a 4-1-0 turn.  The attempts to 
dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and SWEET STUFF remains MORDANT's top warrior 
for another turn.  Can someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes 
their losing fighters do dishes at Conan's Place until they win.  Maybe?   
     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 SHE'S 
CRAFTY.  MORDANT, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  The most 
challenged warrior this turn was LAB EXPERIMENTS' warrior HEIDI?.  More fighters 
challenged it than challenged the Duelmaster!  In a brave attempt, UNDERTAKER from 
THE MINISTRY challenged up 19 points to fight TANKERBELL from the SHE'S CRAFTY 
stable.  UNDERTAKER perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was defeated by 
TANKERBELL and ended up with 12 recognition points.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  A farewell moment, if you please, CHROME of STEEL LEGION has been 
sent to the Dark Arena, and was carried out on hers shield.  SHE'S CRAFTY has lost 
CROWBARBIE to the arena in the sky, but they don't seem to be worried.  What do you 
expect from 5-8-0?  Congratulations go out to SHE'S CRAFTY, with REAPING BEAUTY 
revenging a bloodfeud against VENGENCE of THE MINISTRY.  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 the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- 
Alarond the Scribe

Tankerbell -- When all you do is parry, never mind the style, it's very scummy.
Besides, my other opponents fought back. -- Vengence
P.S.  I noticed you didn't even show up.  Why is that?

Loyola -- You said it, really good fight.  Thank you for the skills, I need them. --
Undertaker

Lion Dung -- Good fight, lousy name. -- Midian

Bess Amie -- The reason the ministry talks after a fight is:  during a fight, we
fight, not talk. -- Viscera

Mannequins Best -- You have something I want, namely the title of Duelmaster.  Be
warned. -- Gangrel

Death's Door -- I see my challenge didn't go through; is that because you ran? --
Kas, mgr. the Ministry

Vengence -- Last turn I called you out for calling me a scum fighter, but not making
it past turn 3 in the tourney to know that.  I meant to say minute 3, not turn 3
since it was in reference to our tourney fight.  My apologies. -- Tankerbell
