                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive 
observation?) as COOKIES can attest...  Say what you will about blind luck and dirty 
fighting, but TEABAG@NOLA 23.1 will tell you 27-28-2 is nothing to laugh at...  IRON 
CATHEDRAL had cause to celebrate, after COBALT SAINT got 12 points by beating 
TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice 
more, after losing 5 points to OATHBINDER.  (Discrete enough, BANANAS FOSTER?) A 
certain someone saw DENTAL IMPLANT at The Victory Tavern with the shakes, and now it 
fails to show up to defend its throne.  What a pathetic slob!  In FRATSFA, nothing is 
permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, BROTHER TUNGSTEN.  
So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk?  
Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     So much to report, so little time!  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the 
lion, so did the "warriors" in FRATSFA avoid IRON CATHEDRAL.  As a woman of good 
breeding scorns the "warriors" of TEABAG@NOLA 23.1, so did that sorry team shy from 
IRON CATHEDRAL Do my ears deceive me?  ICE UNICYCLE (outclassed by 33 points) 
challenged OHIO JONES, in what promises to be a fight.(!) Not to smear a reputation, 
but MIDDLE WAY 8 must be a little surprised, as OHIO JONES blew it when facing ICE 
UNICYCLE, 33 points below him.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Ask not a spymaster 
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious 
stupor.   
     All good things must come to an end.  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond 
my control, I must take my leave of this place.  Can anything compare to the pleasure 
of writing Spyreports for FRATSFA?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny 
Vir
