                                      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.  And let's see, JOSH fought MONEYBAGS MEFRIN and 
gained 16 points and contributed to CLUELESS' 4-1-0.  DIONNE has lost to ABOMINATION, 
falling 5 points, while helping make CLUELESS a 4-1-0 turn.  The attempts to dethrone 
the Duelmaster have failed, and CRATER FACE 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 guess who avoided SWEORDMASTERS stable the most?  Believe it or 
not, it was MIGHTY MORALS II.  Anyone surprised?  I don't know about you, but HONESTY 
challenging down 18 points to HOMICIDAL MANIACS' CKYNST OAF, is not really worthy of 
MIGHTY MORALS II.  I thought challenges were for warriors, not cowards looking for 
easy wins.  HONESTY defeated CKYNST OAF, is nothing sacred?   
     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.  This is not good to see.  Why pray 
tell has GREEN EMINEM been sent to the Dark Arena by MANNEQUIN'S BEST?  And why with 
a 5-1-0 record??  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.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords 
sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in MORDANT again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe

     You send us eight more to dispose of, and some of them don't even have NAMES.
     This is annoying.  They can't all be that bad, surely? -- Arenamaster Kakar

Ckynst Oaf -- Again we meet and again I beat. -- Honesty

Random Maniac -- Immortality for such as you?  While I'm sure, given enough
persistence, the commission will grant even you such an honor (they are notorious for
honoring  some too early and some too late and some that shouldn't be given
immortality at all).  It is frightening to think of you forever haunting alleyways,
though.  But don't forget you also lack  enough time in the Challenger Champs, too.
It may be awhile for you... -- Assur

Honesty -- I'm touched that you should say so. -- China Bull

Crater Face -- I can't believe you did that.  I bet if I'd had the large shield the
Commission WANTED me to carry, you would have lost, because you would have seen your
face in it, and that's enough to put ANYONE off his stroke. -- China Bull
P.S.  Actually, since I'm graduating, I don't really care.

Waelgaest -- I will take that loss as a sign that you want me to continue to keep the
alley-walkers of Mordant alert.  Only graduation will sway me from my appointed
mission. -- Random Maniac
P.S.  And maybe not that.

Honesty -- I'm not going to take on the job of interpreting for the Oaf!  I don't
have a clue what that whine and grovel meant. -- Little Bear

Captain Eloy wasn't all that bad.  Three skills and a win?  I'll take it and say,
"Thank you." -- Little Bear

Jawohl! -- Ha!  I ate my wheaties, so you couldn't touch me. -- Cereal Killer

18 March 11
All -- Be aware of the comeback of the Cajun and his stables of gladiators!  Just
sayin' -- The Cajun
