                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of BLACKSTONE.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Those betting on 
BRITONS lost their shirt, as BRITONS lost their fighting abilities:  0-0-0.  Nothing 
works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as ROOKIE 
CRUE 22 can attest...  Practice pays for BROSEIDEN, who pummelled SAVE ME, to pocket 
14 points.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, 
after losing 13 points to M. CHARDINEE.  (Discrete enough, SPACE MONKEY 11?) CRAZY 4 
successfully staved off a grab for the roses by CLAUDIA of KHORSPRAETORIANS III.  
Does BLACKSTONE have no one talented enough to dethrone him?  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!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have 
fallen into an unconscious stupor.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As the seasons change, and the creatures of the 
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  Like a mixed 
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid BLACKSTONE farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
