                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon KOLACT, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  He who laughs last didn't get the joke.  Speaking of 
laughing at jokes, observe FEARSOME FIVESOME.  Last week they got 0-0-0 to drop by 4! 
Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as 
MANAGERY can attest...  THE FELLOWSHIP had cause to celebrate, after Z got 17 points 
by beating CUTTHROAT.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice 
more, after losing 8 points to TREEBEARD.  (Discrete enough, ESTRELLA?) WOLFRAVEN 
successfully staved off a grab for the roses by QAEDA, AL of QUBIT.  Does KOLACT have 
no one talented enough to dethrone him?  So who's the team that's been walking into 
taverns last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     And how sociable are KOLACT's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like a horde of 
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in KOLACT avoid SIR AGLIO.  The 
warriors of SIR AGLIO found their efforts at combat frustrated as KING NIXON 
apparently had more important things to do than fight.  Everyone is famous for 
fifteen minutes, and CUTTHROAT is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't 
THUNDERSTRIKERS proud!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Z of THE FELLOWSHIP sends CUTTHROAT of THUNDERSTRIKERS goes to the Weary Warrior's 
Retirement Home.  KOLACT has no place for weaklings!  Ask not for whom the sword 
slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Do not think spyreporting in KOLACT is the highlight of my life.  More important 
duties call me.  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid KOLACT 
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

Deagol -- You were a sight for sore-eyes.  (too much comet gazing) -- Melody

Actaon -- Whatta dilemma.  Being "overcome" makes me very kranky.  And I likes being 
kranky. -- Karl
P.S.  ...what was that?  Kranky Karl the Krank.  Very funny, I'm quite lucid you 
know.

Treebeard -- I expected the tree... and the beard.  But somehow you're not what I 
expected. -- Syd

Sir Plutz -- And here I thought I was the grand-old-man of the arena.  I'm a spring 
chicken in comparison.  New lease on life extravaganza. -- Ivan Mashminaplp

Kranky Karl -- Would it help if we fed you?  That's what we do with Sue when she's 
cranky.  That, and sometimes force her to take a nap, as well. -- Actaon

Sasquach -- And I see that YOU are cranky, too.  Darn. -- Moonday

Savage Force -- Sometimes subtle beauty, represented by me, is superior. -- Estrella

Melody -- Are those bells on the kazoos or the washboard? -- Inquiring Minds want to 
know!

Wolfraven -- (from 2 turns ago)  Your style advantage (AB) over me (LU) was just too 
much to overcome. -- Sir Plutz, aptly named

Zeus -- Belated apologies for beheading Shadow Mist. -- Sultan, for Sir Da

Ivan Mash -- Learns like that should be taxed! -- Sir Plutz

Cutthroat -- Didn't take you long to exercise the revenge.  Well done. -- Sir Da

GC -- I personally feel you all should let me graduate.  After all, I'm a lunger with 
48 arena fights and 53 fight equivalent, AND...let's not forget...1 expert...in 
Attack, no less! -- Sir Plutz, over/under achiever

     What's in it for us? -- anonymous spokesbeing for the GC

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance.  In other words, you have to choose!  If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both.  The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example.  If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists

The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the
Goth and Buddy Lee.  We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our
alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
