DM 59 ILLIS (turn 246): GISBORNE of KIWI CONNECTION (The Mun, mgr.) SPY REPORT Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in MORDANT this turn, and let's start with a look at some of the teams. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for SWEORDMASTERS, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 6 into 8th. MIGHTY MORALS II stable has parlayed this turn's 2-1-0 into a 5 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 2nd place. Good work, guys! And let's see, BASTARD SON OF ENOCH fought FLOOD SURFER and gained 15 points and contributed to HAWKMOON 269's 1-0-0. HONESTY has lost to CHINA BULL, falling 6 points, while helping make MIGHTY MORALS II a 2-1-0 turn. Defending his title for another turn, BLACK kept MORDANT's warrior, CHARK FORKBEARD, from claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Conan's Place uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher friend of mine assures me this is true. The most challenged warrior this turn was HOMICIDAL MANIACS' warrior RANDOM MANIAC. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! Building dreams on hope, JOY challenged up 30 points this turn to take on CKYNST OAF from HOMICIDAL MANIACS stable. And crowds were on their feet when JOY claimed a victory from CKYNST OAF, and now has 50 points for his efforts. In a fit of brilliance or of stupidity (hard to say sometimes), HONOR challenged RANDOM MANIAC today, facing a 28 difference in recognition. And whaddya know, HONOR beat RANDOM MANIAC, and the fighters of MIGHTY MORALS II were last seen lifting frothy pints of ale in honor of HONOR's 25 point gain. A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to be true. Kudos go out to CHINA BULL this turn, for revenging HOMICIDAL MANIACS' bloodfeud against MIGHTY MORALS II's warrior HONESTY. Well done. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well. Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to paper-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLACK 8252 10 3 0 118 FULL SPECTRUM (611) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -HONEST JILES 7576 12 2 0 115 LAB EXPERIMENTS (261) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -IOSIO 7834 9 1 0 84 PHILANTHROPISTS (584) -CRATER FACE 8340 14 3 0 79 LAB EXPERIMENTS (261) CHINA BULL 7873 13 12 0 67 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -WAELGAEST 8422 6 1 0 61 SWEORDMASTERS (138) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JOY 7701 3 1 0 50 MIGHTY MORALS II (569) HONOR 7698 3 1 0 49 MIGHTY MORALS II (569) -TOURNETTIE 8464 4 0 0 47 LAB EXPERIMENTS (261) RANDOM MANIAC 7800 7 24 1 46 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) -SPEARHAFOC 8463 4 0 1 45 SWEORDMASTERS (138) HONESTY 7699 3 1 1 38 MIGHTY MORALS II (569) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CKYNST OAF 8444 7 8 0 31 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) -SCARLET SMILE 8362 4 1 1 31 LAB EXPERIMENTS (261) -TEARDROP 8478 3 1 0 29 MANNEQUIN'S BEST (537) -OVER INNSMOUTH 8434 3 4 0 27 DREAD EMPIRE (617) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LITTLE BEAR 8495 3 2 1 21 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) -GREEN EMINEM 8424 3 1 0 19 MANNEQUIN'S BEST (537) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BASTARD SON OF ENOCH 4977 1 0 0 15 HAWKMOON 269 (172) -BRITTLE 8490 2 2 2 14 SWEORDMASTERS (138) -GUTHWINE 8474 1 0 0 13 SWEORDMASTERS (138) -GALAGOM 7832 0 1 0 13 PHILANTHROPISTS (584) -GALAREW 7835 0 2 0 6 PHILANTHROPISTS (584) FLOOD SURFER 8508 0 1 0 1 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Great stuff, joy, and you brought me a lot of it. -- China Bull Honor -- We're sure the Clumsy Oaf (he even messed up writing his name on the application) had lots of worthy comments to make, but none of us could understand them, so we figured you wouldn't either. It was, as these things go, quite a decent sort of fight. -- the other Homicidal Maniacs Moneybags Mefrin tried to BUY ME OFF! That IDIOT! Doesn't he realize that your TRUE maniacs, of which I am proud to be one, don't fight for MONEY, we fight for FIGHTING. For the glories of chaos and destruction--gotta love 'em! Naturally, I moshed him. -- Random Maniac Honesty -- What's the good of honesty, how honest IS it, actually, if you don't TELL me there is ice under that snow? I'm gone for the season, and I just hope my replacement truly appreciates the need to make sure everyone gets out of the way. -- Ghost of Winter Driver P.S. And I hope your brakes lock the next time YOU go into a skid on the ice. Grall the Deserter? He needs to move faster. He's never going to make it out of here alive if he drags his feet. -- Little Bear P.S. Not that I have anything against his feet, I have every intention of getting a foot-long "with everything" sandwich out of this encounter. Arenamaster Kakar -- Clean fingernails may not be a sin, I say MAY not, but it's definitely a sign to look deeper and see what this person is hiding. -- China Bull That is not "clean fingernails," that is life. Everyone is hiding something. -- Arenamaster Kakar LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS HONESTY was devastated by CHINA BULL in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight. JOY vanquished CKYNST OAF in a 1 minute uneven Challenge battle. HONOR demolished RANDOM MANIAC in a 1 minute uneven Challenge fight. BLACK viciously subdued CHARK FORKBEARD in a popular 2 minute veteran's Title contest. LITTLE BEAR devastated SLEN SNOTNOSE in a 1 minute uneven brawl. BASTARD SON OF ENOCH overpowered FLOOD SURFER in a 1 minute one-sided struggle.
