                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of RIZTAB.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give 
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  HELL-MART after a sorry 
0-0-0 might want to consider abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't 
fight no more' blues!  DREAMERS had cause to celebrate, after PASCAL got 26 points by 
beating PILEDRIVER.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice 
more, after losing 22 points to PASCAL.  (Discrete enough, PILEDRIVER?) DAGGER LAMENT 
successfully staved off a grab for the roses by XAMOT of PHOENIXGUARD 1015243.  Does 
RIZTAB have no one talented enough to dethrone it?  Word has it one team in RIZTAB is 
taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     So much to report, so little time!  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of NEON TERMINUS, alone and unchallenged.  As a 
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of TOP 5 MUSKS, so did that sorry team 
shy from NEON TERMINUS Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good 
oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, WHISKEY SMASH is the most challenged warrior.   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Questions are 
being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain 
tavern in RIZTAB would I avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in RIZTAB is the highlight of my life.  More important 
duties call me.  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid RIZTAB 
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
