                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  SMITHSONIAN?  Who?  BLOODY HAND CLAN is the 
top team these days, buddies!  What's a move up by 4 you ask?  (alright, maybe you 
didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, according to BLOODY HAND CLAN.  Practice pays for 
ESTHER DUNMORE, who pummelled POLITE BEGGAR, to pocket 16 points.  BUNKER HILL 
certainly had a baffled expression on its face, after losing to THE LUMBERJACK and 
losing 12 points in the process!  Duelmaster WILY GIT from BLOODY HAND CLAN is going 
for the gold, as he challenged HOYT FOUNDATION's SHAWNDO.  Ooh, the excitement!  
SHAWNDO found out that ARKERS isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be 
Duelmaster here!  Word has it one team in ARKERS is using psychics to predict wins.  
They lead a charmed life!   
     So much to report, so little time!  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of HOYT FOUNDATION, alone and unchallenged.  The 
warriors of HOYT FOUNDATION found their efforts at combat frustrated as BLOODY HAND 
CLAN apparently had more important things to do than fight.  Is it charming 
personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, UGARG 
SNOTSNIK is the most challenged warrior.  GETTYSBURG challenged UGARG SNOTSNIK!  Who 
says SMITHSONIAN are just a bunch of wimps!  GETTYSBURG of SMITHSONIAN kept its wits 
as it was subdued by UGARG SNOTSNIK.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  KYRON FLEMING of BORN LOSERS sends BUFFALO ROAMS of SMITHSONIAN goes to the 
Weary Warrior's Retirement Home.  ARKERS has no place for weaklings!  DICK GREGORY of 
BORN LOSERS spared THE CANDYMAN (3-7-0) from having to lose any more fights.  What's 
your next plan, HOYT FOUNDATION?  Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for 
thee.   
     Do not think spyreporting in ARKERS is the highlight of my life.  As the seasons 
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave 
this place.  ARKERS, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at 
The Warty Toad.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
