                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of MORDANT!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  What's with RUN'S HOUSE?  He 
actually beat LOW ROAD 3's BELTRAN MOSS, and walked away with 19 more points from the 
fight.  Laughs were big at HOMICIDAL MANIACS while they watched BLACK BONKER clobber 
MUTANT BLOWBY.  He lost 7 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. 
Har har har!  Did PHIL HELLMUTH wimp out, or just get lazy?  Anyway, he's not 
Duelmaster anymore.  I'm sure MORDANT is excited about ERBIN PARNAN, the new 
Duelmaster from LOW ROAD 3.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  
I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters?  
Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  How well I know the 
feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of practive, MANNEQUIN'S 
BEST!  The bums at BOOZE couldn't face the challenges from MANNEQUIN'S BEST!  No 
excuse for that!  How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, 
MASKED MURDERER II!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.  MASKED 
MURDERER II didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from WHITE 
LIGHTNING of BOOZE, who is 19 points below him.  WHITE LIGHTNING perhaps got his just 
desserts, seeing as he bested MASKED MURDERER II and ended up with 42 recognition 
points.   
     Warriors of MORDANT unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Many a warrior 
has met his fate in a hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  Are 
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm writing it 
before you read it.  Oh, well.  Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, 
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Shavian -- Well, if you're truly Mannequin's best, you'll GET me next time we meet,
won't you? -- Domestic Dervish
P.S.  Just not inside the house, okay?  What happens to the yard, I don't care about,
not my department.

Phil Hellmuth -- Fine by me.  I never did know when to hold 'em. -- Allana Lorimer

Ha!  Raffi the Garrote choked on a piece of oat straw, and it served him RIGHT. --
Cereal Killer

Silisa the Snake just... slithered up and HISSED at me.  That really put me off my
stroke. -- Delise Orm
P.S.  And she didn't TEACH me anything, dammit.

So Cereal got the Garrote all stirred up, and *I* had to pay for it.  What are
teammates for, huh? -- Black Bonker

Yes, but then I demonstrated to Raffit that he can't do that to us with impunity.
With a battle axe, yes, but not with impunity. -- Erbin Parnan

Downwiththeking -- Not on my nickle. -- Chelsea Noren

S... Mc -- And any time we think things are going well, there you are. -- Beltran
Moss

Mutant Blowby -- You're weird.  Freakish, even. -- Masked Murderer

Grey Goose -- Dandy Boy can't write you a personal today, because he is totally wiped
out.  Can't hold his liquor. -- Cereal Killer

ALL -- MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL IN ALASTARI!!!
May your year end in peace and the new year hold great things for you and your
families. -- Gentleben (Sunset-21, Morya-28, Arvat-32 and Talahya-100)
