                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of NIANIA.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give 
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  THE GOLDEN FISH?  Who?  
DUNGEON CELL is the top team these days, buddies!  DUNGEON CELL had cause to 
celebrate, after OUBLIETTE got 7 points by beating BARK THE BIGGER.  MINNOW certainly 
had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing to DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and losing 
15 points in the process!  Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by 
PETER NETLEY, of THE GOLDEN FISH, who despite a 11-8-0 couldn't overcome NIANIA's 
Number 1.  Word has it one team in NIANIA is using psychics to predict wins.  They 
lead a charmed life!   
     So much to report, so little time!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  Do 
not despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Cutpurse -- Cool!  Now we have a second reason for staying home at night!  Along
with, you know, "It's too COLD to go out and carouse."  Not that carousing ever
thrilled ME, but the guys like it. -- Minnow

We salute the tourney participants, with a special nod to Two-Piece Toenail (even
weirder in person than his name suggests) and Cutpurse, tourney victors. -- Jorja and
the Golden Fish

Cutpurse -- Good job!  No one could expect me to defeat a tourney victor, right?  So
I'm in the clear on that. -- Peter Netley

Bravo -- Oh, a fight between rival gangs of orcs.  I wouldn't want to get in the
middle of THAT by presuming to censure your actions.  Besides, they might be
appropriate anyway; this IS an arena, after all. -- Peter Netley, for the Ghost of
Barruk

And two-one over the standbys.  Pikestave says he should get credit for making the
Concubine work an extra minute, but I don't think so.  He's a bit of a wuss. --
Minnow
