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 VED BUENS ENDE, who
pummelled MALIGN, to pocket 16 points. CRAZY certainly had a baffled expression on
his face, after losing to DING HAO and losing 4 points in the process! Those who
hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by ADARA AL ZAHRA, of JAGUAR WARRIORS,
who despite a 20-12-0 couldn't overcome ZUWAYZA's Number 1. So who's the team that's
been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and
MALIGN is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't CURTAIN CALL proud!
Mismatched by 12 points, SIMON'S REVENGE defeated SFORNO OBADJA. Is this really
worth noting? I thought SFORNO OBADJA showed great skill and promise when he was
beat by SIMON'S REVENGE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
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 ZUWAYZA 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 ZUWAYZA?
On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Mystic -- Well, finally you wake up and make some adjustments to your strategy!
Nicely done! Now it's my turn. See ya on the sands. -- Adara
Gulf Coat D -- This is getting embarrassing! If I can't beat an Anarchy fighter,
then maybe it's time I go to the dark arena. -- Sforno
Chaos -- I'll get you next time! -- Ved
Mischef -- Thanks for giving us our only win this turn. It is not good to go 0-5.
Fighters end up in the Dark Arena after 0-5 turns. -- Ding
Malign -- It's torture fighting you. Pure torture! But my manager says I should be
able to beat you, so we will fight again. -- Deo

The total number of fights calculated was reported as 250 fights. This is a
misprint. It should have read "over 2,500 fights." -- Baphomet

The hotel is located down the freeway in Tempe. All rooms have high speed internet
