                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon OSKSI, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Those betting on BANGERS & MASH lost their shirt, as 
BANGERS & MASH lost their fighting abilities:  0-0-0.  Nothing works for a team like 
victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as VALLEY OF KINGS can attest...  
Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but OLDTIMERS will tell you 
24-14-0 is nothing to laugh at...  VALLEY OF KINGS had cause to celebrate, after 
PHARAOH got 27 points by beating LANTERN TEST.  LANTERN TEST certainly had a baffled 
expression on its face, after losing to PHARAOH and losing 23 points in the process!  
ISIS found out that OSKSI isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be 
Duelmaster here!  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and 
ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     And how sociable are OSKSI's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Perhaps the warriors 
of THE COUSINS should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, OLDTIMERS scurried away from THE COUSINS.  
Oh, the shame!  If challenges were horses, LAST CHANCE could open up a fast food 
joint!  Them's the breaks, LAST CHANCE.  Expecting fair challenges from OLDTIMERS is 
evidently too much to ask.  TYPEWRITER subdued LAST CHANCE with a point difference of 
21.  So this is what OSKSI calls a duel.  This will make an interesting tale.  BLACK 
DIAMOND found himself challenged by a warrior 18 below:  ETHEL FINNIE.  ETHEL FINNIE 
of THE BLUES 3 kept hers wits as she overcame BLACK DIAMOND.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Questions are being 
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in 
OSKSI would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards 
fat!  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
