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!. Hey everybody, watch out for KHALUM'S MIDGET,
who flew up 14 points in the rankings after mashing STRAIGHT LINE like a melon. Keep
your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was VINN WULF, who
dropped 13 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with FORCAS. Unlike
most arenas, EXODUS managed to get its challenge off against the 16-28-1 VURZHAL UR.
It's a proud day for the MIDDLE WAY stable, as their warrior, VURZHAL UR, ascended
the Duelmaster's throne. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger
halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't
avoid MIDDLE WAY, please raise you hand. Wow. Does ALJAFIR really have that many
liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause THE OLD
TESTAMENT beats feet every time MIDDLE WAY smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Well
just about everybody wants a piece of VURZHAL UR, who was this week's most challenged
warrior. In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, ETIEN HAXAN went after
MAXIMUS, who was higher by 19 points. Well, when the dust settled, ETIEN HAXAN was
defeated by MAXIMUS.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ALJAFIR have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown

PERSONAL ADS
Erbin Frorlin -- No cursing in the arena. It hurts my ears. Then I have to hurt
you. -- Quvra Ngedo
Straight Line -- Next time, I'm gonna put a few curves in your line. -- Etien Haxan
Quord Rassel -- Sorry about the beat down. I was expecting a bloodfeud challenge.
Oh, I haven't killed anyone from your team yet, have I? Maybe next time. -- Forcas
Philantropists -- Here too? -- Noachian, mgr. Balance of Terror
Elven Lords of Myth -- I hope you plan to do more than just DA. -- Noachian
Etien Haxan -- Go on with your "balancing act" if you must, but it is better and just
as level to walk a... Straight Line
P.S. That wasn't SUPPOSED to be my name, but somebody somewhere (and I suspect my
manager of engaging in rampant sloth) goofed up.
Forcas -- I don't care WHAT you do, I STILL think your terror is unbalanced! -- Quord
Rassel
P.S. You might try carrying lead weights in one pocket and feathers in the other.
Quivra Ngedo -- I've never seen anyone use the "three-card trick" to such devastating
effect in the arena. Use it on someone else next time, please. -- Erbin Frorlin
Maximus -- Bad luck for you, good work for me. I can't say that I was impressed by
the tender solicitude of the orderlies and the Infirmarian. If you want backup for
giving them a well-earned lump or two, feel free to call upon me. -- Vurzhal Ur
Blue Orc -- If you say so, but, again, it just seems odd for you to be listed as a
half elf. -- Vinn Wulf
P.S. Since you are, amongst other things, obviously not HALF, you're all there. I
can tell.
Etien Haxan -- The fans aren't paying ME. And I like a really short fight that ends
before people start hitting me. Can you blame me for that? -- Straight Line

We of the Desolate Empire Alliance want to announce with glad hearts that Heathen
Hatebred is no longer just a friend, but also an alliance-mate. Heathen brings a lot
with him to our alliance. His experience, talent, and loyalty will be a great

freely! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

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.
