                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Practice pays for FLASH, who pummelled LOREL, 
to pocket 20 points.  LOREL certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after 
losing to FLASH and losing 12 points in the process!  Now I can't insult BILLY JACK, 
as he has gloriously dueled to the top.  Oh great new Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I 
lay it on too thick) Word has it one team in WILLAF is taking speech lessons to try 
to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of PUNNY AMINALS, alone and unchallenged.  Like a 
pup with its tail between its legs, GOLDEN GLADIATORS scurried away from PUNNY 
AMINALS.  Oh, the shame!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Oh hard!  that 
to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Do not think spyreporting in WILLAF is the highlight of my life.  More important 
duties call me.  WILLAF, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill 
at The Warty Toad.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

Kudos to Duelmaster Ampere of Power Legion, Things are heating up around here. --
Midas, Golden Gladiators

Lorel -- I am both impressed and saddened by your win.  I guess I am not as good as I
thought.  Salute. -- Good As Gold (feeling sort of copperish)

Cult Member -- I had fun.  Perhaps, now, you will wish to join MY cult? -- Gold
Dubloon

Rypley Byrd -- I cannot believe I pulled that off!?  I feel like I "ripped" victory
right out of your hands. -- Gold Locket

Lonely Handmedowns -- I thought that whole fight was rather charming.  (wink) -- Gold
Charm

Anaconda -- Tell ole Khisanth "howdy" for us Golden Gladiators.  His team is getting
to be our favorite "squeeze."  (wink) -- Goldplated
P.S.  Is he BOB yet?

Happy Mailer and Happy Thanksgiving to all. -- Midas and The Golden Gladiators

Ampere -- That was a shocking encounter, made my hair stand on end, which, in turn,
threw off my helmet, creating vulnerability, and, um, I could go on like that for a
while, but basically, well done. -- Billy Jack

Gold Locket -- If you hadn't been flashing that in my eyes, swinging it back and
forth gently while you chanted, who knows what might have happened?  I certainly
don't. -- Ripley Byrd
P.S.  I find myself at a loss for the proper moves when confronted by a forward
woman.  I have no objection to forwardness in a woman, mind you, but I don't know
what *I* am supposed to do.

Longing Leggings -- Curse you, woman, I hope someone strangles you with those things!
-- Horus Mann

Spike -- You're a bit aggressive for such a small fellow.  I rather like that.  Why
don't you come up and see me some time, eh? -- John Dere

Galen -- No.  I refuse.  I won't have it so.  No. -- Dee Nile
P.S.  Actually, the WIN is fine, it's the other stuff you suggested.
