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 BOOZE is pushed out of top
team by CLUELESS, who came from 4th with a 4-1-0 this turn. CLUELESS stable has
parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings. This brings them up
to 1st place. Good work, guys! And let's see, JOSH fought LITTLE BEAR and gained 21
points and contributed to CLUELESS' 4-1-0. LITTLE BEAR has lost to JOSH, falling 16
points, while helping make HOMICIDAL MANIACS a 2-3-0 turn. Due to his absence and
inability to defend the throne, VERMOUTH has lost the title of Duelmaster. We should
ask JOSH about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a
warrior, he's now the one to ask. 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. I also notice that the HOMICIDAL MANIACS stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on MORDANT, what are you afraid of? And guess who
avoided HOMICIDAL MANIACS stable the most? Believe it or not, it was ONE HIT
WONDERS. Anyone surprised?
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. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
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

PERSONAL ADS
There is still hope for Mordant. The representatives of Outta Phase are on the side
of good. And I have hope that there are a few Homicidal Maniacs that can be
rehabilitated. But the Mighty Morals are officially closed. Honesty's replacement
is not what I want and the team does not have a representative that I want to build
around. I'll be back at some point, with another team, but for now, my interests lie
elsewhere. -- Assurnasirbanipal
Black Betty -- Should of brought a can opener. -- Duh
Oh, please! Novgorodny Vir is "like the magnificent sun"? He sticks his nose into
one of MY alleys, and he's toast! Solar eclipse. Sun-chops! Yeah, that sounds
good. -- Random Maniac
P.S. And Phil Hellmuth will be chopped fish smeared on that toast.
Ah, just as a matter of curiosity, what is the connection between the duelmastership
and democracy? Nobody ever said it was an elected position. -- Jorja, reading the
spy report and finding it... confusing
Looks like the Dark Arena is suffering from overwork, and in this weather! It's no
wonder if they DO dispose of "severed body parts" in a questionable manner. Imagine
how fast they must spoil! -- Jorja, still
Earth Angel -- I congratulate you on surviving the Dark Arena. Some managers just
have no respect at all. I'd be glad to give you a tour of some fine alleys in the
central part of the city. Plenty of action, and no questions asked. -- Random Maniac
We congratulate the graduating Crater Face, and I must admit that we are glad to see
the last of that unglamorous puss. -- Jorja and the Homicidal Maniacs
Phil Hellmuth -- Y'know, a guy as little as you, I bet I could stuff you right
into... just about anything. The Mouth of Hell springs first to mind, but how to
find it, eh? Some sort of disposal chute leading to an incinerator would probably
do. -- Random Maniac, darling of the fans of Mordant, probably for his relentless
defense of the alleys against sanity and crime
Josh -- You couldn't even beat the oaf? Bah. But I can see why you'd want to drink
before the fight. He's an ugly mug. -- Masked Murderer
Chark Forkbeard is a dwarf. I really don't like dwarves, so I mosterized him. What
the heck, you know? It isn't like he's human. -- Little Bear
Yammerin' Hank -- Gods, you make so much NOISE! I was TRYING to decode the message
from my cereal--the snap, crackle, and pop, you know--and I lot AT LEAST half of it
because you wouldn't SHUT YOUR YAP. Nasty of you. Bad. Worse than playing with
your food. -- Cereal Killer
P.S. Actually sometimes playing with your food can be good. My brother and I used
to race shredded-wheat rafts. Great sport.
Alley Oop -- Well, all I can say is, I hope you've really annoyed Earth Angel and she
flattens you. -- Masked Murder
