                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of BONSUR.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give 
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  He who laughs last 
didn't get the joke.  Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe WESTNMAFIA.  Last week 
they got 0-3-0 to drop by 5!  What's a move up by 5 you ask?  (alright, maybe you 
didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, according to BEACH BABES.  Can you believe it?  
SOLSKJAER apparently has better things to do as BONSUR's Duelmaster than show up and 
fight!  In BONSUR, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new 
Duelmaster, SLAMMER.  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week 
and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     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 BONSUR avoid IMPORTED FOOTBALLERS.  Like a pup 
with its tail between its legs, SENTINELS scurried away from IMPORTED FOOTBALLERS.  
Oh, the shame!  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and SANDY SHORE is it right 
now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't BEACH BABES proud!  GORBAG challenged HUNTSMAN! 
Who says CIRITH UNGOL are just a bunch of wimps!  GORBAG of CIRITH UNGOL kept his 
wits as he overcame HUNTSMAN.   
     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 
BONSUR would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards 
fat!  Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for BONSUR?  On that 
giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

Sandy -- Mind your tongue, my child!  Oh...and apologies about your sword. -- Moses

Sandy and Huntsman -- Slammer's just a bit misunderstood.  He was once an ordained
minister, but he scared away much of the parish with his "unorthodox" sermons.  Let's
just say we feel his new career path is more suitable for him. -- Ancient One

Amen! -- Rev. Slammer

Moses -- The crowd approved, did they?  Or is a crowd an it?  Whatever, I will see
them in an assortment of alleys over the next couple of weeks.  The IDEA of them
approving of you doing that kind of number on me!  Just a bunch of bloodlusters,
that's what they are. -- Sandy Shore

Van Nistelroy -- If you hadn't tickled me in that first second when we grappled...!
It totally undoes me. -- Long Beach Lila, undone all over the place

Pires -- Listen!  I told you to WORK on this Short Guy Attitude, didn't I?  So why
aren't you DOING it? -- Pensacolita
P.S.  Although the skills are good.  I can always use skills.

Aagh!  The Condemned Pirate again!  They should let me kill him.  He's no earthly, or
maybe I should say lakely? good to anyone. -- N'Orleans Nora

Solskjaer -- Well, I guess that is what happens when I stop fighting the Babes.  Nice
fights--it isn't everyday when you can make someone lose 60 points in the standings.
-- Huntsman

Westnmafia -- Ouch.  That has got to hurt.  I don't think I have ever gone 4-0-2
against one team on a single turn before.  Only one of them was a challenge!  The
Sentinels had been back in Bonsur for 20+ turns without a single kill, something we
were actually fairly proud of.  Then in one turn--two kills!  They were not
intentional, but Obrojobo and Ogresmasher await your bloodfeud should Dope Boy or
someone else wish to try it. -- Nomad and the Sentinels

Tippy-Toes -- Thanks for the win!  I needed that one badly! -- Neanderthal

9 July 2007
I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately.  If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good.  So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet).  If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.

If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos.  We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S.  If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
