                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  What's a move up by 4 you ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause 
for celebration, according to REAL PEOPLE.  BASH BROS BRICK had cause to celebrate, 
after HAND MADE got 20 points by beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE.  OTT SOUNDS certainly had 
a baffled expression on his face, after losing to KUNG-FU MASTER and losing 12 points 
in the process!  What can be a greater victory?  ALL HUMANOIDS has taken his place as 
the top, as DRAGONHEAD'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 FREELANCERS should take 
up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  The warriors of FREELANCERS 
found their efforts at combat frustrated as MEAN MACHINES apparently had more 
important things to do than fight.  Take heed DRAGONHEAD, of the unprincipled action 
of APHRODITE VON BOO.  By challenging WRINKLED, 38 points below her, APHRODITE VON 
BOO besmirches the noble art of dueling.  APHRODITE VON BOO beat WRINKLED.  The whole 
thing leaves a bitter memory.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the 
arena.  A certain tavern in DRAGONHEAD would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards 
fat!  DRAGONHEAD, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The 
Welcome Wench.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
