                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  BLACK PANTHEON?  Who?  BLACK MONASTARY is the top team these days, 
buddies!  THE BLACK EXPRESS after a sorry 1-2-0 might want to consider abandoning the 
sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues!  Nothing works for a 
team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as CARE LESS BEARS can 
attest...  FANTASIA posted a nice gain, to come in 4th.  Everybody loves a winner...  
Practice pays for FULL PROOF, who pummelled BLACK SPIRE, to pocket 21 points.  Win 
some, lose some.  Speaking of which, TIEN-SHU OF GENRAI was winsome, after beating 
ENGYWOOK and seeing him lose 20 points.  Like a flirtacious debutante, MORDANT's 
Duelmaster DRAGON EMBER found herself the woman of the hour, being "invited to dance" 
4 times!  You could cut the tension with a scimitar as THRYSSA of EMU'S SPAWN met the 
Duelmaster.  In MORDANT, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a 
new Duelmaster, THRYSSA.  Word has it one team in MORDANT is using psychics to 
predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Perhaps the warriors of BLACK ARMADA 
should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  The warriors of 
BLACK ARMADA found their efforts at combat frustrated as ARMY OF ONE apparently had 
more important things to do than fight.  Take heed MORDANT, of the unprincipled 
action of BULKHEAD.  By challenging GEORGE, 19 points below him, BULKHEAD besmirches 
the noble art of dueling.  BULKHEAD beat GEORGE with a point difference of 19.  So 
this is what MORDANT calls a duel.  This will make an interesting tale.  SLOTH found 
itself challenged by a warrior 19 below:  CLYTAMENSTRA.  CLYTAMENSTRA of BLACK 
PANTHEON kept hers wits as she was subdued by SLOTH.  My love of complete Spyreports 
dictates that I note the mismatched fight, OLYNDARIA and GUINAN.  Are BLACK PANTHEON 
unwilling to engage in a fair fight?  I thought OLYNDARIA showed great skill and 
promise when she bested GUINAN.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  You've heard about 
SNOW MONKEY of BLACK JUNTA.  Death plays no favorites, and neither do I.  What was a 
14-14-1 doing on the fields in the first place?  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!  Do 
not despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
