                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Make that 4 for all the Rawlings fans. I am enjoying this last run, and hopefully 
I will be heading to The Isle shortly after the Mailer. Good luck to all.

                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Practice pays for TIMOTHY, who pummelled THE HONEST MERCHANT, to pocket 
14 points.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, 
after losing 8 points to RUTHLESS JAYWALKER.  (Discrete enough, NANCY?) Those who 
hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by HAYSTACK, of BLUVALLEY WARRIORS, who 
despite a 10-39-1 couldn't overcome ARDIVENT's Number 1.  Word has it one team in 
ARDIVENT is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet 
it works.   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so 
did the "warriors" in ARDIVENT avoid BLUVALLEY WARRIORS.  As a woman of good breeding 
scorns the "warriors" of FANDILS, so did that sorry team shy from BLUVALLEY WARRIORS 
Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and CHAD is it right now.  Most challenged 
warrior.  Isn't GENERATION D proud!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
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 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 ARDIVENT farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
