SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! ICE AGE after a sorry 0-0-0 might want to consider abandoning the sands
and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues! What's a move up by 8 you
ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to THE
UNDEAD. Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but STEEL THUNDER
will tell you 108-162-11 is nothing to laugh at... Practice pays for IRONSTORM, who
pummelled ROBESPIERRE, to pocket 24 points. A certain someone should cut down on the
drinking and practice more, after losing 15 points to HURRICANE. (Discrete enough,
KRANKYKARL?) LEIBNIZ successfully staved off a grab for the roses by ANGRY ROSETTA of
RIZTAB. Does RIZTAB have no one talented enough to dethrone him? So who was the
warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got
a basic problem...
And how sociable are RIZTAB's warriors? Come, let us see. To quell some nasty
rumors, the guys in WILD OATS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to
avoid 'em. The warriors of WILD OATS found their efforts at combat frustrated as
STEEL THUNDER apparently had more important things to do than fight. Everyone is
famous for fifteen minutes, and KRANKYKARL is it right now. Most challenged warrior.
Isn't HIGH JINKS proud!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Q: What's a record like 19-14-1 get you? A: A free trip to the Dark Arena!
This week's winner: UGLY EDDIE of HIGH JINKS! ROBESPIERRE of CASTLE, possessing a
sorry record of 18-19-0, lost his last battle to IRONSTORM of STEEL THUNDER. Young
warriors, take note! Such is a failure's lot! Ask not for whom the sword slashes;
it slashes for thee.
Leave me now, you base fools! As the seasons change, and the creatures of the
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Like a mixed
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid RIZTAB farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
All -- Ugly Eddie, PS 11(+1)-9-14-15-17-4-15 GS LO/MD. Say it isn't so. Not enough
speed for the fast styles, not enough strength for the slow styles. Some times
folded easy, but most times performed as intended...knock-down drag-outs galore. --
Jondeaux, mgr. High Jinks
Ironstorm -- Regarding our last encounter...not only was that not "it"...it was about
as far from "it" as I could'a got. -- Ugly Eddie, Lord Protector
Robespierre -- A little more of the "give and let give" in that contest. --
Krankykarl
Jeezus Freak -- Freaks tend to lean towards excess, and I'm a type who appreciates
excess in all its permutations. Oh, verily verily. -- Missy Mossy
Kill Bill -- Why? I have nothing against Bill, in fact, he's always been polite when
I've met him. -- Marvanella
Leibniz -- A salute to you, the more easily given as this is my last fight.
Retirement looks good. -- Tala Gog
Ironstorm -- We had one like that. It rained railroad spikes and ball bearings. --
Winter Shadows
P.S. Or at least ten-penny nails.
Yoda Man -- Shouldn't you be shorter? -- Sweet Betsey
Tio the Moneychanger. (sigh) A merchant by any other name is just as annoying, and
quite like as dishonest. -- Tariliss
Our congratulations to Ugly Eddie. -- Sweet Magic
Especially mine. -- Alourshin
20 April 2007
All -- I've been...out of circulation for the last couple of months, and my lists
are not up to date. If you've announced a manager name, a new alliance, or changed
a manager name or alliance since the middle of February, let me know in the ads, via
diplo, or in an e-mail (Sue (at) solberg-mathews (dot) com). For that matter, if
you just want to make sure I've got things right, you can always do the same. -- The
Saint, keeper of lists
