SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of WILLAF. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. PUNNY AMINALS had cause
to celebrate, after MAREY D'NUIT got 20 points by beating THORIN. A certain someone
should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 7 points to MAREY
D'NUIT. (Discrete enough, THORIN?) BUDOKUMO successfully staved off a grab for the
roses by ONDO FLEUR of PUNNY AMINALS. Does WILLAF have no one talented enough to
dethrone him? Word has it one team in WILLAF 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! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys
in PUNNY AMINALS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em.
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, YAMABUSHI scurried away from PUNNY
AMINALS. Oh, the shame!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Oh hard! that to
strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
All good things must come to an end. 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 WILLAF? On that giddy note I take
my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Beau -- Thanks for the will, and shhhhhhh. -- Silence Is Golden
P.S. Oh yes I am!
Marey -- That's what you get for not voting for me! -- Goldwater
Osksi Noble -- Thanks for the chance to take a nap. -- Goldbrick
I'm cominggggggggggggggggggg.... -- Gold Cache
Congratulations to Budokumo the Duelmaster. -- Midas
Silvia -- Ahhhhh, Cricket. The boss knew a Cricket once, too. An Indian (American)
descendant married to his best friend John. He doesn't know her real name as she was
always called "Cricket". She was a good friend to his wife. They divorced. At age
60, John married a Jan. Go figure. -- The Golden Gladiator Scribe
Coyote -- Don't let those big guys get you down. One of our other Consortium
managers just graduated a 21-10-20-15-9-4-5 basher at 14-9-0 who did devastating
damage. Quite cool! -- Midas
Budokumo -- Ah! That was a good one, you countered me at every point and left me
wondering what happened. I salute you. -- Ondo Fleur
Silence Is Golden -- So, I shouldn't be writing you a personal, is that what you're
saying? Fat chance. Jorja takes a hard line on personals. -- Beau Ramn
Goldwater -- Ah. That would be, I suppose, the kind of water a Midas would drink
from? Talk about hard water! -- Marey d'Nuit
P.S. So what happens if someone tries to pan for gold in your waters?
Sunyobi -- The Commission does love its little jokes, eh? But I'm surprised you
didn't learn more than one skill. I was demonstrating plenty of 'em. -- Silvia Minno
P.S. It's an art, demonstrating skills. Kind of like, hmm, dancing hieroglyphs?
Dorobo -- Oof. Nobody told me about the sumo wrestling. I wasn't up for that. --
Baabra Lammont
P.S. But you certainly threw your weight around in an effective fashion.
Zigadenus -- I'm mildly curious how your personal got into my duelmaster's column? --
Ondo Fleur
On Golden Pond -- Maybe you could freeze over and hold ice-skating parties. -- Ondo
Fleur
Silence Is Golden -- Ha! It's brass at the BEST, and probably heavily contaminated
with arsenic. -- Beau Ramn
Thorin -- How come you had to have the only standby fight, and it had to be ME? What
did I do to deserve this cruel fate? -- Just a poor, common, ordinary Thief who is
being Picked On
