SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! Good things come to those who fight well, as BLOODY HAND CLAN can
attest, moving up by 1. Practice pays for SHAWNDO, who pummelled RAL STORMBREAKER,
to pocket 18 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, SHAWNDO was winsome,
after beating RAL STORMBREAKER and seeing him lose 12 points. Duelmaster JHERI
BLOOMERS from HOYT FOUNDATION is going for the gold, as it Dark Arena Challenged DARK
ARENA's SPYMASTER. Ooh, the excitement! JHERI BLOOMERS successfully staved off a
grab for the roses by SPYMASTER of DARK ARENA. Does ARKERS have no one talented
enough to dethrone it? Word has it one team in ARKERS 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? Perhaps the warriors of HOYT FOUNDATION should
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of HOYT
FOUNDATION found their efforts at combat frustrated as THE CHOSEN apparently had more
important things to do than fight. Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and WILY
GIT is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't BLOODY HAND CLAN proud!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Those who owe JHERI BLOOMERS of HOYT FOUNDATION money and had written it off, take
note: it'S BACK FROM THE DARK ARENA!!! AND it'S MAD!!! Oh hard! that to strike a
flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! ARKERS, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The
Swinging Aardvark. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

Mail-in-Style (DM 97): for all managers, with one strategy for all ten rounds
Each manager's Bloodgames team had ten warriors, one of each style, all attributes
according to the manager's desire (84 points total). After ten rounds of brutal

immortality and advanced to ADM! The winners were:
