                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Nothing is certain in DULLENS, with changing 
loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--CON ZAL CON2.  
What's a move up by 6 you ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for 
celebration, according to CON ZAL CON2.  Say what you will about blind luck and dirty 
fighting, but PERFECTION QUEST 13 will tell you 64-45-5 is nothing to laugh at...  
STYLE AND STRIFE had cause to celebrate, after PSYCHO KILLER got 24 points by beating 
ST-STUMP RUN.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, PSYCHO KILLER was winsome, 
after beating ST-STUMP RUN and seeing it lose 20 points.  Duelmaster SUPERIOR TRICKS 
from PERFECTION QUEST 13 is going for the gold, as it challenged ARENA FELINES II's 
WALL OF FELINE.  Ooh, the excitement!  Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were 
disappointed by WALL OF FELINE, of ARENA FELINES II, who despite a 17-6-1 couldn't 
overcome DULLENS' Number 1.  Word has it one team in DULLENS is using psychics to 
predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so 
did the "warriors" in DULLENS avoid DREAMERS.  The warriors of DREAMERS found their 
efforts at combat frustrated as CON ZAL CON2 apparently had more important things to 
do than fight.  If challenges were horses, SWEET DREAM STRIKER could open up a fast 
food joint!  Willing to win at any cost is CARRIE PR, who challenged SWEET DREAM 
STRIKER, 9 points junior.  Our sympathies, SWEET DREAM STRIKER!  I thought CARRIE PR 
showed great skill and promise when she bested SWEET DREAM STRIKER.  All right, so I 
slept through it!  Big deal!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Like a tattered, worn-out, faded, out-of-fashion garment cast out to rot, 
BRUTAL BASHER of STYLE AND STRIFE has been summarily sent to the Dark Arena.  Oh 
hard!  that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     All good things must come to an end.  As the seasons change, and the creatures 
of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  Can anything 
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for DULLENS?  On that giddy note I take 
my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

All -- I support Vendetta Cartel's observation of The Dark Knights!  If war is
declared on V.C. by The Dark Knights, then war is also declared on The Dark Knights
of the Desolate Empire by The Avengers of Light!  We have been quietly awaiting such
a chance to expose ourselves (all interested parties contact me c/o The Barbarians:
