                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive 
observation?) as MANNEQUIN'S BEST can attest...  Practice pays for BOA, who pummelled 
DELISE ORM, to pocket 24 points.  DELISE ORM certainly had a baffled expression on 
hers face, after losing to BOA and losing 17 points in the process!  A certain 
someone saw GRASSCUTTER at Conan's Place with the shakes, and now he fails to show up 
to defend his throne.  What a pathetic slob!  In MORDANT, nothing is permanent 
(except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, CHELSEA NOREN.  Word has it 
one team in MORDANT is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  
I'll bet it works.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from 
the lion, so did the "warriors" in MORDANT avoid SWEORDMASTERS.  As a woman of good 
breeding scorns the "warriors" of BOOZE, so did that sorry team shy from 
SWEORDMASTERS  
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Hey SERPENTS' 
HOLD!  Is there some deep dark, unmentionable secret as to why STING has been sent to 
the Dark Arena?   7-1-3 isn't so shabby!  Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he 
will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.   
     Do not think spyreporting in MORDANT is the highlight of my life.  My fingers 
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable 
character.  Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for MORDANT?  
On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
