                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon NIANIA, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  THE GOLDEN FISH posted a nice gain, to come in 2nd.  
Everybody loves a winner...  THE RUNAROUND had cause to celebrate, after ANSWER PACK 
got 8 points by beating PETER NETLEY.  A certain someone should cut down on the 
drinking and practice more, after losing 6 points to SAM THE WHALE.  (Discrete 
enough, HARDY BART?) Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by OOZING 
MY MIND, of U PAY I SLAY 2, who despite a 11-4-0 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!   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst 
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of THE RUNAROUND, alone and unchallenged.  
The warriors of THE RUNAROUND found their efforts at combat frustrated as YELLOWSTONE 
YOGIS apparently had more important things to do than fight.  Everyone is famous for 
fifteen minutes, and ARCHED EYELID is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't 
THE RUNAROUND proud!  BRAD PENNY challenged ARCHED EYELID!  Who says YELLOWSTONE 
YOGIS are just a bunch of wimps!  BRAD PENNY of YELLOWSTONE YOGIS kept his wits as he 
was overcame by ARCHED EYELID.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Oh hard!  that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     All good things must come to an end.  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond 
my control, I must take my leave of this place.  NIANIA, I leave you now.  The 
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at Jim's Tap Room.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny 
Vir

I dunno what "the ex-Duelmaster's habit" was, but he left this place a MESS.  Nobody
told me being duelmaster meant scrubbing out the Hot Seat.  It was things like this
that had me leaving home!  Cheese Louise! -- Pikestave

Answer Pack -- What were you DOING here?  The upholstery is in tatters. -- Pikestave

Arched Eyelid -- I hope that darned eyelid FALLS OFF. -- Peter Netley the totally
annoyed

Mike Piazza -- What do I know from dwarves? -- Sam the Put-Upon Whale

Hardy Bart -- So you cost me four points.  Big deal.  If Jorja would get my NAME
fixed, things might be different. -- THE Haddock
P.S.  Not that I think *I* am FISHY.  Where does she get off with that name?

Depp -- How can you be anti-butter?  You must be DEMENTED. -- Butter the Best

Oozing My Mind -- I hope your insurance expires! -- Layamon Harish, Insurance Agent

General Pattern -- Yeah, and I don't LIKE this pattern.  Time to CHANGE it. -- Doland

a temporary Tournament Arena, DM 85.  If you requested that your team be placed in a
