SPY REPORT The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon MORDANT, for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Practice pays for ALLEY OOP, who pummelled MONEYBAGS MEFRIN, to pocket 20 points. VERMOUTH successfully staved off a grab for the roses by RANDOM MANIAC of HOMICIDAL MANIACS. Does MORDANT have no one talented enough to dethrone him? So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in SWEORDMASTERS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a pup with its tail between its legs, BOOZE scurried away from SWEORDMASTERS. Oh, the shame! Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and PHIL HELLMUTH is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't POKER GREATS proud! NAEGLING challenged TAI! Who says SWEORDMASTERS are just a bunch of wimps! NAEGLING of SWEORDMASTERS kept his wits as he overcame TAI. Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! SHEWISH GIANT in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for PYRS of SWEORDMASTERS. Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at Conan's Place will be! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee. Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VERMOUTH 8445 12 2 0 167 BOOZE (605) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLACK 8252 11 3 0 124 FULL SPECTRUM (611) -WAELGAEST 8422 12 1 0 117 SWEORDMASTERS (138) PHIL HELLMUTH 7842 16 6 1 113 POKER GREATS (580) JOSH 8581 11 6 0 99 CLUELESS (628) CKYNST OAF 8444 21 26 0 93 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RANDOM MANIAC 7800 11 52 1 87 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) LITTLE BEAR 8495 20 17 1 78 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) CERVEZA 8510 8 1 1 77 BOOZE (605) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -DIRK DIGLER 8115 7 4 1 64 KIDS GONE BAD (275) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -WHISKEY 8582 4 0 0 55 BOOZE (605) NAEGLING 8576 5 1 1 50 SWEORDMASTERS (138) ALLEY OOP 8664 4 0 1 48 ONE HIT WONDERS (632) -BRANDY 8584 3 0 0 45 BOOZE (605) TAI 8579 10 7 0 40 CLUELESS (628) -CINDY VIOLLETTE 7976 3 2 0 34 POKER GREATS (580) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DIONNE 8578 8 9 0 33 CLUELESS (628) MASKED MURDERER 8644 2 5 0 33 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) PYRS 8657 1 4 1 33 SWEORDMASTERS (138) AMBER 8580 7 10 0 31 CLUELESS (628) CEREAL KILLER 8625 3 6 0 31 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) -SEAN SHEIKY 7938 4 5 0 25 POKER GREATS (580) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -JOSH AREA 7939 3 6 0 24 POKER GREATS (580) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FUNKYTOWN 8665 3 1 0 22 ONE HIT WONDERS (632) IN MY HOUSE 8689 2 0 0 21 ONE HIT WONDERS (632) TAKE ON ME 8682 2 1 0 19 ONE HIT WONDERS (632) EXTRA 8690 1 0 0 11 CLUELESS (628) BLACK BETTY 8661 1 2 0 5 ONE HIT WONDERS (632) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

And don't fret too much about Earth Angel, she may be back someday. I have SO many good names to go through yet though. -- Buri Pyrs -- Well, that was easy, I hope your new teammates fare better. -- Take On Me It is a comment on life in Mordant today that the Random Maniac and I are such high favorites. I don't know what KIND of commentary, but I'm sure it is one. -- Masked Murderer Wow, this is the Turn of Death in Mordant! Sixteen bite the dust, or mud, with all the rain we've had. I hope the taverns' procurers were on hand, that much meat would spoil fast. -- Jorja Fourteen in the Dark Arena alone, a heavy night of work for us. Tourney Prep, I have no doubt, managers looking for the perfect Rookies. -- Arenamaster Kakar Phil Hellmuth -- Can I blame that loss on the disparity in managers, do you think? I'm fairly sure that yours--Tripwire, isn't it?--pays a lot more attention to this stuff than Jorja does. Not that she's a BAD manager, exactly, just... ah, um, it's probably because she's a girl. Yeah, that's probably it. -- Little Bear P.S. But she sees to it that we get plenty of decent food, and that makes up for a lot. P.P.S. Even having to write personals every time. This Silisa the Snake woman? I don't think the Oaf knew what to make of her, and I'm not sure whether it was because she IS a woman, or the whole "snake" business. The Oaf is hard to figure out. -- Masked Murderer, wondering how he got talked into "speaking" for the Oaf Women like Silisa the Snake are one of the things that is WRONG with the alleys of Mordant. -- Random Maniac Dione -- Huh, you knew I was concealing a clue, and you WANTED it. Well, I swallowed it before you had a chance to get your hands on me! -- Masked Murderer Black Betty -- One hit would have been ENOUGH. -- Cereal Killer P.S. Remind me not to eat Chocolate Frosted Pops before the fight next time. They don't work. LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS 174171391212 was butchered by UNDEAD WARRIOR in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
