SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ARKERS, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! THE CHOSEN after a sorry 0-0-0 might want to consider
abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues! Nothing
works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as LADIES IN
WAITING can attest... Practice pays for ROMULUS, who pummelled OTHELLO, to pocket 15
points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after
losing 17 points to ROMULUS. (Discrete enough, OTHELLO?) Those who hoped for a new
Duelmaster were disappointed by NOBLE ASSASSIN, of ARKERS, who despite a 0-0-0
couldn't overcome ARKERS' Number 1. Word has it one team in ARKERS is using psychics
to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so
did the "warriors" in ARKERS avoid ARCANE VOLBEAT. As a woman of good breeding
scorns the "warriors" of LADIES IN WAITING, so did that sorry team shy from ARCANE
VOLBEAT Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and ROMULUS is it right now. Most
challenged warrior. Isn't TEN TON TOGAS proud! LUXOR challenged ALEMBIC! Who says
TEN TON TOGAS are just a bunch of wimps! LUXOR of TEN TON TOGAS kept his wits as he
was defeated by ALEMBIC.
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my
control, I must take my leave of this place. Do not despair! I shall return!--
Novgorodny Vir
