                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  We now have a new top team for all of you guys 
to dogpile on.  QUBIT now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  It 
looks like the guys(?) at THE MOONDOGS had a good week as they went 3-1-0 to put them 
in 4th place.  I guess steroids help!  Hey everybody, watch out for ESTRELLA, who 
flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing SIR COPHAGUS like a melon.  Keep your 
eye on this gal.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  SIR 
BROKE STROKER was defeated by VENOMOUS CONCUBINE and drops 20 points.  It's a proud 
day for the SPRINGBORN stable, as their warrior, SADIE, ascended the Duelmaster's 
throne.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Congrats to SADIE for revenging the death of hers teammate 
(but more importantly, feeding QUIP a bit of dirt).  In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' 
category, SIR COPHAGUS was mashed by ESTRELLA, who let SIR COPHAGUS know that killing 
members of THE MOONDOGS is a no-no.  Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say 
both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Well, there goes another Spy Report.  Good luck in 
next week's fights.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The 
Unknown Spymaster

Sultan -- What's worse than a small aimed blower...a small aimed blower with no con
worth mentioning.  (didn't stop em from learning those attack skills though)  Once
again the masses are denied the secrets of the Stable Springborn roll-up.  (s'a good
one too)  I did finally reveal some PR stats in another arena, but it was a trip 17
fighter so I doubt anything new was gleaned.  I was kind of looking forward to show-
casing the surfer...buuuuut I guess he'll follow into the lore of the island.  I've
another mighty-mite AB elsewhere, very similar, and when he graduates the stats will
be posted...in that arena. -- Still

Actaon -- Landscape cleared right out last cycle.  Practically take my pick of any
room in the guildhouse. -- Mr. Shrdlu

Sir Broke Stroker -- It's newbie time, it's newbie time.  I'm not cruel...it's just
newbies...need learnin before someone takes advantage of them.  Someone not of the
team I mean. <grin> -- Sadie

Mr Shrdlu-o -- I wish you wouldn't do that.  You keep me so busy teaching, I don't
have to win!  Or even to learn much myself.  At this rate, I'll run out of things to
teach you in a cycle or two. -- Actaon, distressed at skill erosion but determined to
be polite, BUT if you hit me there again, polite will NOT be an option

Quasimodo -- Drat.  I know a pitchfork when I see one, and that's what you've got.
And what about those stitches all the way around the top of your head, eh? --
Estrella
P.S.  And NO, I am not a before-death organ donor!  Leave that kidney alone!
P.P.S.  Why are you leading a bunch of villagers with pitchforks and pruning hooks
and violent intentions?  You've gotten into the wrong background!

Ha, that time the Dangerous Criminal was Not Up to the Job.  In fact, he was so
frightened of ME that all I had to do was slap his hand!  True, I had a sword in my
hand at the time, but that was simply an effort to be prepared.  They taught me that
in school. -- Monday of The Moondogs, or possibly Moonday of the Mondogs, don't
forget that I gave one of my spare Os to Mr Shrdlu, who was in dire need of another
vowel

Sir Cophagus -- NO!  I may have lost, but I'm not "yours."  I don't want to be buried
wrapped in a ton of stone.  I'd get claustrophobic.  My ghost would be trapped until
it found a crack, perhaps created by the questing root of some funereal shrub.  Then
it, the ghost, would seep out and HAUNT you forever.  So, don't kill me, and if you
DO, don't bury me in one of your trademark three-ton coffins.  Please! -- Cynica

Mr Shrdlu-o -- This is true, but I would much rather that it be YOU who wails.  I was
never much good at that. -- Actaon the modest

22 February 2006
The Olympics have arrived!

The Mordanti Olympics, having been gone for six years, have returned to the Mordanti
Alliance, sponsored by Amicitia Primoris.  Teams have competed against each other for
recognition and notoriety four times in the past.  It is far past time for the fifth
Mordanti Olympics to be held.  The Mordanti Olympics shall be held in the Mordant
arena (DM-1) from May 1st (T544) through Oct 30 (T557).  There will be a
'registration period' lasting until T543, where teams will be allowed to register by
activating in Mordant and declaring their participation in the personals.  Rules will
be posted in the Mordant arena (DM-1) newsletter no later than T543, but shall be
available online before then.  An announcement will be made as to where they will be
posted.  Prizes will be awarded to the winners.
