SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon NIANIA, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! I doubt many are quaking in their boots, but PEANUT
BUTTER FUDGE comes out of nowhere to get 5-0-0. What does the future hold? Watch
this space... Practice pays for GOLDINA, who pummelled THE USEROUS MERCHANT, to
pocket 17 points. A certain someone saw HORMONAL GROWTH at Jim's Tap Room with the
shakes, and now he fails to show up to defend his throne. What a pathetic slob!
What can be a greater victory? GROND has taken his place as the top, as NIANIA's new
Duelmaster. Word has it one team in NIANIA 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?
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.
Leave me now, you base fools! Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat!
Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid NIANIA farewell--
Novgorodny Vir

Hormonal Growth -- I looked it up, and I can see where you're a textbook example.
Acromegaly, they call it. -- Gallordin
P.S. With a beard, which makes it interesting.
Kung-Fu Master? Shucks. -- Gulby
The Khalhums Dwarf is too damned pushy. -- Grond
But the Veteran Mercenary was polite. -- Kestratlak
The Convicted Thief was just boring. -- Goldina
We salute those of this arena (who aren't here, alas) who fought in the tourney. --
Jorja and the Golden Fish
But what I want to know is why Hormonal Growth didn't fight in the tourney. What's
he FOR? -- Gallordin
All -- It would seem the gods-that-may-be have heard your lamentations. Granted, we
are "just out of the box," or perhaps "hiding under the box," soon. The least of you
have a 10 fight head start but, with luck and a lot of cheating, we may be a
challenge. -- Gavin Rule, mgr Peanut Butter Fudge
What a novel concept!
Greeting from the big bend in usually sunny Florida. The state who changed the state
