SPY REPORT It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! Good things come to those who fight well, as GREENWARDENS can attest, moving up by 0. Practice pays for STREET LEGAL, who pummelled STARLYN FYREFLY, to pocket 17 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 16 points to HONEYSUCKLE. (Discrete enough, ARMEGADUS?) In MALCORN, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a new Duelmaster, AGATE. So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. So much to report, so little time! The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Charity is unknown in MALCORN, and rightly so. RAINBOW CONNECTION exacted their revenge against DARK CREATION. Justice was served as JIM fought QREATED in bloodfeud. Well done, RAINBOW CONNECTION! How true is RAINBOW CONNECTION's mettle? Just one week remains for the avenging of CARTMAN's death. Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. Do not think spyreporting in MALCORN is the highlight of my life. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MAXIMILLIAN 5011 11 3 2 102 VC RULES (501) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME CYBERMANCER 4992 13 12 0 98 DARK CREATION (471) APOK 4964 20 14 0 92 STARBASE 5 (263) REXROTH 4957 24 13 0 91 DARK CREATION (471) BRISTLECONE 4952 22 19 1 91 GREENWARDENS (244) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME STREET LEGAL 5012 10 4 0 82 VC RULES (501) STONEBOW 4993 11 13 0 68 GREENWARDENS (244) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MASTER DARQUE 5015 8 6 0 66 VC RULES (501) STARLYN FYREFLY 4983 11 18 0 63 STARBASE 5 (263) SILVERBIRD 4994 15 9 0 59 GREENWARDENS (244) FIZBAN 5013 8 6 2 58 VC RULES (501) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME JIM 5021 6 1 0 40 RAINBOW CONNECTION (503) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -HAMMER 5014 4 3 1 27 VC RULES (501) QREATED 4999 5 7 2 24 DARK CREATION (471) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HONEYSUCKLE 5038 1 1 0 18 GREENWARDENS (244) STEVE 5027 3 2 1 17 RAINBOW CONNECTION (503) SWORDMAGE 5037 1 1 0 17 DARK CREATION (471) IRON COG 5036 2 0 0 10 STARBASE 5 (263) -KHAMUL 4033 1 5 0 8 THE BLACK RIDERS (391) TERRASQUE 5033 1 2 1 7 DARK CREATION (471) ARMEGADUS 5035 1 1 0 6 STARBASE 5 (263) TESTACAE 5034 1 1 0 4 STARBASE 5 (263) -NEMO 4648 1 1 0 4 DOWN WITH THE SHIP (468) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -AKHORAHIL 4031 0 1 0 4 THE BLACK RIDERS (391) -ADUNAPHEL 4032 0 4 0 4 THE BLACK RIDERS (391) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

I'm too... bristly, I guess, to be duelmaster. At least today. -- Bristlecone Apok -- This is very good, I like it. I suppose it's the political points that put me over the line to graduation, but I don't care, I'm glad to go. -- Agate Cybermancer -- Do you ever get the feeling that we need more competition in this arena? -- Stonebow Qreated -- Maybe, but so am I--though I'm not a golem, for which I thank my mother! -- Silverbird Iron Cog -- Oogh, and a big one, too! I feel shredded by the wheels of progress, or something. -- Honeysuckle EPEE?
