                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  The boys at BLOODY HAND CLAN left the arena 
dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by TRIAL BY COMBAT.  Good show!  
TRIAL BY COMBAT posted a nice gain, to come in 1st.  Everybody loves a winner...  
TRIAL BY COMBAT had cause to celebrate, after SACRILICIOUS got 16 points by beating 
COTTON GIN.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, 
after losing 15 points to BASIL HAYDEN.  (Discrete enough, MOMMA CASKET?) KUNG-FU 
MASTER 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 taking speech lessons to try to 
bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     And how sociable are ARKERS' warriors?  Come, let us see.  To quell some nasty 
rumors, the guys in THE CHOSEN are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to 
avoid 'em.  Like a pup with its tail between its legs, TRIAL BY COMBAT scurried away 
from THE CHOSEN.  Oh, the shame!  Is it charming personality?  Conversational 
abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, COTTON GIN is the most challenged 
warrior.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Ask not for whom the 
sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  
Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ARKERS farewell-- 
Novgorodny Vir
