                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon RIZTAB, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Practice pays for NONELLIA, who pummelled BLACK 
BARTOK, to pocket 13 points.  DONNAMIRA found out that RIZTAB isn't a democracy.  
You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!  Word has it one team in RIZTAB is 
taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from 
the lion, so did the "warriors" in RIZTAB avoid DREAMERS.  As a woman of good 
breeding scorns the "warriors" of BLADES OF TERROR, so did that sorry team shy from 
DREAMERS  
     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 RIZTAB is the highlight of my life.  My fingers 
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable 
character.  Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for RIZTAB?  
On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

Aristoclea -- Now, listen.  I've given it a lot of thought, and I ASSURE you that
this is a wholly aristocratic gateau.  Only the BEST people eat it, and I'm sure
you'll like it just fine, AND everyone will envy you the chance to have some, because
I don't make it for just anybody, you know. -- Dora Bell

Leovar the Proud is always a pushover for creampuffs.  And these have a rum filling,
not just cream.  After he ate a couple (Shews have very large appetites, even for
something this rich), I really WAS able to push him over. -- Donnamira

And after Donnamira had dealt with him, he was like soft butter in my hands, easily
molded and just a little greasy. -- Jaylene Mokhar

Tio the Moneychanger never LEARNS.  The idiot. -- Lorimera

I noticed that. -- Nonellia

                        WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!

Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 14-16, 2011.  It will be 
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-894-7444), the same hotel as 
last year by popular request.  Room rates are $129.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which 
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception (yes, really!), free 
airport shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet.  There's a fitness center, 
jacuzzi, and pool.  The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 22 
before the block is released!  (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been
unable to book rooms because they waited too long.)  Look for the tournament info 
sheet and minioverviews some time in December.  We hope you're all looking forward to 
it and that we will see you there!
