                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon KOLACT, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  The boys at ABOMINATION left the arena dejected, 
after being kicked out of the top spot by THE HOLY LEGION.  Good show!  Nothing works 
for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as JAY-Z can 
attest...  Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but THE HOLY LEGION 
will tell you 54-51-5 is nothing to laugh at...  Practice pays for MERCY, who 
pummelled NAEVIA, to pocket 16 points.  A certain someone should cut down on the 
drinking and practice more, after losing 14 points to MERCY.  (Discrete enough, 
NAEVIA?) Duelmaster SCRAPPY DORK from ORL 2013V is going for the gold, as he Dark 
Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's WURM KIN.  Ooh, the excitement!  The crowds were amazed 
this turn, as WURM KIN killed the Duelmaster, SCRAPPY DORK, leaving ORL 2013V in 
mourning.  Even 65 points weren't good enough to save SCRAPPY DORK from JHAARAN.  
KOLACT welcomes JHAARAN as the new Duelmaster!  So who was the warrior seen charging 
into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst 
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of JAY-Z, alone and unchallenged.  Like a pup 
with its tail between its legs, THE HOLY LEGION scurried away from JAY-Z.  Oh, the 
shame!  Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  
Whatever it is, RICHARD III is the most challenged warrior.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have 
fallen into an unconscious stupor.   
     Do not think spyreporting in KOLACT is the highlight of my life.  Keep those 
sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Yes, actual personals.  Too bad the dolt of a manager sent them to the wrong
arena!!!!!

     That happens, and I didn't mind if they made no sense HERE.  Maybe I should go
     borrow some from another arena to pad out this one?  If so, what arena would you
     like to see represented in words here? -- the Editor
