                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  MURSKA needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  What was the name of 
that team who got 4-1-0 this turn for a total 71-55-6 you ask?  (Sure)  FLIPPERS 
ARCADE's their name, and fighting's their game!  I talked to BASH BROS PETS' manager 
before the fights.  He said, "We're gonna do good."  And look at this:  3-0-0!  
Psychic, or what!  MVP award for POOPED IN YARD?  BASH BROS PETS' proud of him after 
beating BELGO and getting 16 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  BELGO's match 
with POOPED IN YARD cost him a loss of 13 points!  This Duelmaster is like something 
else!  NOREASTER stopped OH OHLISH OMINAH dead in his tracks!  Who was the wiseguy 
that said MURSKA's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at The Howling Wolf?  Don't look 
at me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  THE BEARS was MURSKA's most avoided team.  Is there 
some award for that?  Hhmph!  What kind of warriors are BUSY, BUSYTOWN?  THE BEARS, 
an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation!  
Like, is KAI popular, or what?  He was challenged the most in all of MURSKA!  He's 
got a 18-25-0, is that good?  See if I ever talk to DINGO DOG again!  KAI was so low 
when He challenged he.  Hhmph!  DINGO DOG beat KAI.  No surprise about that.  Really 
I'm not surprised DINGO DOG would do such a scummy thing, either.  FATHER CAT is 
being unfair.  He's challenged down 33 against CADAL COONTZ.  I don't know why they 
let this stuff go on.  (I'd better shut up) I was sorry to see such an unfair "fight" 
in MURSKA.  FATHER CAT got 6 points after beating CADAL COONTZ, 33 points below him.  
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  What if they had a fight and nobody showed 
up?  I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it 
quits.  Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

Noreaster -- Better you than me.  *I* would have to write something special in your
position. -- Cadal Coontz

It seems odd that a Kung-Fu Master has red hair. -- Kai

Or that an Ambitious Guard is an elf?  Nah, they're just people, all sorts, same like
us. -- Balin

Yeah, well, the Dangerous Criminal got a little of what he's been asking for.  Hah!
-- Faron

I have no patience at ALL with beggars, and persistence doesn't make me like 'em,
either. -- Belgo

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
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
     From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance.  With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger.  Let all his foes become ours, and ours his.  May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
     This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc....  If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!
