                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  The boys at ABOMINATION left the arena dejected, after being kicked out 
of the top spot by THIRSTY THUGS.  Good show!  Those betting on THE MENTORS' TOY BOX 
lost their shirt, as THE MENTORS' TOY BOX lost their fighting abilities:  1-1-0.  
What's a move up by 8 you ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for 
celebration, according to THE CLUB.  Good things come to those who fight well, as 
THIRSTY THUGS can attest, moving up by 1.  THE MENTORS had cause to celebrate, after 
BUELLER got 23 points by beating MONETTE.  SY FY certainly had a baffled expression 
on hers face, after losing to COUNT BLYTHE and losing 18 points in the process!  MORE 
MONN successfully staved off a grab for the roses by HAMMER of GLORY HOUNDS.  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.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Perhaps the warriors of THIRSTY THUGS 
should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  Like a pup with 
its tail between its legs, VIKINGS scurried away from THIRSTY THUGS.  Oh, the shame!  
Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever 
it is, COTIA MORTIS is the most challenged warrior.  ALLY YEAR MONEY found himself 
challenged by a warrior 24 below:  DARWIN.  DARWIN of THE MENTORS kept his wits as he 
beat ALLY YEAR MONEY.  Willing to win at any cost is TEMPE POSTMASTER, who challenged 
MESSOREM, 8 points junior.  Our sympathies, MESSOREM!  I thought TEMPE POSTMASTER 
showed great skill and promise when she was bested by MESSOREM.  All right, so I 
slept through it!  Big deal!   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Ask not a spymaster 
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious 
stupor.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  More important duties call me.  KOLACT, I leave 
you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at Don Corleone's.  'Til next 
time-- Novgorodny Vir

55 in a 54 -- Mess with me too much more and your mail will be late.  Very late. --
Tempe Postmaster

Snide Clemens -- Were you drunk last turn?  Or just not paying attention to the
fights?  Deimoon Farr did NOT stay top dog in the city last turn.  I know this
because I became TOP DOG last turn.  What an awful spy reporter you are. -- More Monn

     He was duelmaster and he won.  That makes him top dog even if he's leaving.
     That "Invitation to the Isle" stuff, it's superficial.  It doesn't count.  Bah.
     -- Snide Clemens
     P.S.  I got invited to the Isle once.  It was no fun.  There was no place to
     sit.

Gnaeus Magnus -- He who jumps 1st, eh? -- MorMon

Cotia Mortis -- You need to be careful with that pig-sticker of yours.  You could put
somebody's eye out. -- 2012

     Well, most people have two.  They can spare one.

Userous Merchant -- That's what you get for your outrageous store prices.  That'll
teach you. -- Sy Fy

     Unlikely.  He doesn't learn.

Ether -- Um...ouch?!? -- Iron man 2

Ghost of High Elf -- I hear the crows of Kolact really like elf flesh.  Well, it will
help explain why they are fatter than usual for the next week or so.  Bon Apetit! --
(the recently retired) Human Centipede

Mor Monn -- Looks like our fight was for the Duelmaster title...  He Who Jumps...? --
G.M.

Rok Redbeard -- I am getting tired of PLATE. -- GOY

     Well, there's bowls....

Owned by Venomous Concubine.... sigh....  The idea that I also learned something is a
secondary slap in the face. -- A.C.

2012 -- Did you notice that I never got tired while you lay on the ground suffering
12 straight shots...  Endurance is a sweet thing. -- C.M.

Hilary -- How am I supposed to fight when you use dirty tactics to trip me to the
ground. -- MES

My team is 5-10...  I saw the Tarot Cards, but I still don't believe in Omens.  This
turn will be different. -- PAGAN

Sy Fy -- Well, it worked. -- Dark Moon Down

Iron Man 2 -- No, that's okay.  The same results will do fine. -- Selena Bright

Goy -- What's that supposed to mean?  That I dodged?  Darned straight.  I don't like
getting hit. -- Monette

Well, cheese LOUISE!  Except for Deimoon's departing win over H to the Izzo, we all
LOST.  That's depressing, and we're not going to talk about it.  Then maybe it will
go away. -- the other Moondogs
