                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon CLIFFHOME, for 
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  THE WATCHMEN?  Who?  ASSASSINS is the top team 
these days, buddies!  ASSASSINS had cause to celebrate, after HANZO got 23 points by 
beating SLEEPBRINGER.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice 
more, after losing 15 points to AKIMOTO.  (Discrete enough, FOXY BROWN?) In 
CLIFFHOME, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new 
Duelmaster, RAPPIN DUKE.  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last 
week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst 
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of EAGLES CLAW, alone and unchallenged.  As a 
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of ASSASSINS, so did that sorry team shy 
from EAGLES CLAW If challenges were horses, SHOGUN could open up a fast food joint!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Charity is 
unknown in CLIFFHOME, and rightly so.  THE WATCHMEN exacted their revenge against 
LUNATIC RANCH.  Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  
Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid CLIFFHOME farewell-- 
Novgorodny Vir
