SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! 70'S CHILD had cause to celebrate, after
MATCHBOX CARS got 19 points by beating PERSISTENT BEGGAR. DONAHUE certainly had a
baffled expression on his face, after losing to BLUE SHREW and losing 8 points in the
process! Can you believe it? MRI apparently has better things to do as ZUKAL's
Duelmaster than show up and fight! Now I can't insult FEBLES, as he has gloriously
dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So
who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds
like a PR stunt to me.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas?
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not for whom the
sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Do not think spyreporting in ZUKAL is the highlight of my life. As if buffeted
by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. Like a
mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ZUKAL farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

Febles -- Eh! Darned cat. Ouch. -- True Blue
Shamahamadi -- Uh...I should've been sober for that, right? Well, I'll think about
it. -- Blue Blotto
Rat Race -- You call that fun? No way I'd agree with you. -- Blue Shrew
Dalton -- Eat steel, you ELF. -- Zulor
Botsono -- Or, as I like to think of it, Onostob. That wraps up a turn where we
fought nobody but the Philanthropists II and they, of course, fought nobody but us.
Sad, isn't it? -- Ultorino

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire want to announce the joining of a new
member who cherishes the same ideals, respect and loyalty that we hold dear.
From this day forward let all know that Blackstorm is now a Dark Knight of the
Desolate Empire Alliance. With him as our chosen brother, our alliance only becomes
stronger. Let all his foes become ours, and ours his. May all our enemies' blood
flow freely and give NO quarter in war.
This is also a warning to any cowards, bullies, etc.... If you play with fire,
you WILL get burnt!!!

To those involved, no, I have not abandoned your stories. But I've been letting them
drift, and that has to stop, so I am taking the time to make sure that I know where
they are going, more than just "what happens next" dreamed up on the fly, before
resuming work on them. No new stories will be started until at least one of the old
ones has concluded, for the same reason: quantity can't substitute for quality.
Your patience in this matter is appreciated. -- the Scribe
