SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Those betting on SACKETT'S & CO. lost their
shirt, as SACKETT'S & CO. lost their fighting abilities: 0-0-0. Nothing works for a
team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as THERAPY SESSIONS can
attest... THERAPY SESSIONS had cause to celebrate, after PARANOIA got 19 points by
beating ADRENALINE RUSH. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and
practice more, after losing 8 points to ANOREXIA. (Discrete enough, SNIPER?) A
certain someone saw SCREWFACE at The Don't Drop Inn with the shakes, and now he fails
to show up to defend his throne. What a pathetic slob! What can be a greater
victory? THIMBELL has taken his place as the top, as NIATOLI ISLAND's new
Duelmaster. So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and
ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Perhaps the warriors of THERAPY SESSIONS should
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of THERAPY
SESSIONS found their efforts at combat frustrated as B.B. CONSTRUCTION apparently had
more important things to do than fight.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. Do not despair!
I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

you were there for in the first place. Please! Try a little harder next time. --
Thimbell
Heathcliff -- What a maddening cat you are! I NEED that sock, dammit. Get out from
under the bed! -- Rintirisse
Manic Depression -- You're fine. Stay away from those therapists, though. --

Ed. -- My previous turn seems not to have made it to my neighborhood, thus the lack
of personals. -- Jorja
P.S. It isn't like I was in the middle of a conversation with someone.
This is true. There is a distinct lack of reciprocal scintillation here. -- Ed.

All -- I've seen what's on the forum. So I'm prey, am I, Max. You and all your
devious buddies will become my prey, even those I thought okay. I don't have to
explain anything I do, much like yourselves so bring it on. Feel free to come over
to 31 for a thrashing. Oh, by the way, I am also in a new alliance. They tend to
share my sentiments about the VC. If they follow me or not, we will see; I'm not at
liberty to talk for them. The VC may be on their last stand!!!! -- Blackstorm

The 2006 Mordanti Alliance Olympics are off to a grand start! With seventeen teams
declared, running under eight different flags (not to mention six additional non-
Olympic teams present), it is looking to be as tough as any previous Olympiad, if not
more! Olympians petitioned the Commission to make an allowance for late entries, and
the Commission agreed, and will allow new entrants to partake, as long as they are
active by Round 3 (T546, due May 29th). So if you wish to enter, please email your
intentions to amicitia@gwi.net with team name, manager name, and affiliation
(alliance name or independent), or show up in Mordant (DM-1) on, or before, May 29th
and place your declarations in the newsletter!

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new

stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood

This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
