                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon NOBLISH 
ISLAND, for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  The boys at BRASS BAND left the arena 
dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by GHOST BEARS!.  Good show!  GHOST 
BEARS! had cause to celebrate, after KIT FOX got 11 points by beating TUBA.  TUBA 
certainly had a baffled expression on its face, after losing to KIT FOX and losing 7 
points in the process!  CORNET successfully staved off a grab for the roses by 
VENEMOUS CONCUBINE of NOBLISH ISLAND.  Does NOBLISH ISLAND have no one talented 
enough to dethrone it?  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week 
and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     So much to report, so little time!   
     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.   
     Do not think spyreporting in NOBLISH ISLAND is the highlight of my life.  My 
fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my 
impeccable character.  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
