                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  The boys at NEON CHEESE left the arena dejected, after being kicked out 
of the top spot by MODERN MYTHOLOGY.  Good show!  Managers were muttering after ORDER 
OF BATTLE showed STORM POINT what they could do:  1-0-0 to move up by 12.  Perhaps it 
is NEON WARLORDS members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 15th to 3rd 
last week...  (Less time in the sun...) Like a chunk of francium heaved into a wet 
pond, HOWLIN WITH TUM blew up the rankings to 13!  Managers were muttering after 
ETERNAL STEELE 26 showed STORM POINT what they could do:  1-0-0 to move up by 16.  
The boys at TRAVEL B aren't the happy-go-lucky bunch we all know and love, after 
suffering a 13 drop last week.  HOWLIN WITH TUM had cause to celebrate, after XTC got 
29 points by beating BANECASTER.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, XTC was 
winsome, after beating BANECASTER and seeing him lose 19 points.  What can be a 
greater victory?  VANGUARD has taken his place as the top, as STORM POINT's new 
Duelmaster.  Word has it one team in STORM POINT 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!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys 
in VORPAL STEELE 5 are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  
As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of TRAVEL B, so did that sorry team 
shy from VORPAL STEELE 5  
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Perhaps CRAZY 
DAYS 23's manager was intending to send BASTION to the Dark Arena in the first place, 
seeing as how bloodfeud has nearly expired.  Oh hard!  that to strike a flame, the 
match itself must needs be wasting!   
     All good things must come to an end.  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards 
fat!  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid STORM POINT 
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
