SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! The boys at MONOPOLY left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of
the top spot by SEINFELD. Good show! JESSIE'S SPUDS after a sorry 0-1-0 might want
to consider abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more'
blues! What's a move up by 4 you ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for
celebration, according to THE MOTHERSHIP CC. Practice pays for BULL HALSEY, who
pummelled COSMO, to pocket 22 points. COSMO certainly had a baffled expression on
his face, after losing to BULL HALSEY and losing 18 points in the process! MISSOURI
WILDLIFE found out that ZUWAYZA isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be
Duelmaster here! Word has it one team in ZUWAYZA is using psychics to predict wins.
They lead a charmed life!
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 MAN OR BEAST? are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. The
warriors of MAN OR BEAST? found their efforts at combat frustrated as SEINFELD
apparently had more important things to do than fight. If challenges were horses,
TAXES DUE could open up a fast food joint! ROBERT REICH challenged TAXES DUE! Who
says CUNNING RUNTS are just a bunch of wimps! ROBERT REICH of CUNNING RUNTS kept his
wits as he put to death TAXES DUE. Willing to win at any cost is HUGS-N-KISSES, who
challenged POCKET NEWS, 15 points junior. Our sympathies, POCKET NEWS! I thought
HUGS-N-KISSES showed great skill and promise when he was beat by POCKET NEWS. All
right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! The warriors at MONOPOLY stable were more sober than usual, after TAXES DUE's
demise at the hands of ROBERT REICH. ROBERT REICH, don't make any long term plans!
She who lives by the sword (or maul)... Witness TAXES DUE of MONOPOLY, felled by
ROBERT REICH of CUNNING RUNTS. Justice was served as VANDAL fought TAMBONE in
bloodfeud. Well done, GAIDINS! Questions are being raised about the disposing of
severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in ZUWAYZA would I avoid!
Do not think spyreporting in ZUWAYZA is the highlight of my life. Keep those
sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I
now bid ZUWAYZA farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

Tambone -- You made such short work of Drago that I almost thought of a career
change. Almost. But then I remembered I am gladiator... who just happened to
lose... but am alive to fight another day. Congratulations on victory over Drago. --
Drago
Our congratulations to Water Works. -- Jorja and the Magnificent Mags
Plus, we salute the tourney participants, with special notice for Bear Grylls, Bull
Halsey, and Robert Reich, tourney victors. -- Jorja and the Mags
Robert Reich -- Oh, great. A tv challenge. As if I didn't have enough problems
already! Live above ground, no flaming, rotten diet (no virgins), now I have to
fight trained and accredited warriors. Life is unfair to dragons. -- Dragon
Water Works -- "WATER WORKS vanquished MISSOURI WILDLIFE." True enough! First you
built the damned dam, and the wetlands were endangered and half-destroyed. Then the
dam broke, and a lot of wildlife habitat was flooded out. Bah. -- Missouri Wildlife
Napoleon -- But... don't you WANT the growth potion? How can you ever play
professional basketball without it? -- Alchemist's Monthly
Pork Chop Golem -- Actually, it was probably the gravy that did it. But I say, heck
with my cholesterol, gimme some more. -- AARP!
Sexual Harassment! Inter-Species Suggestions! Are There No Standards? Read all
about it, story on page 7, under the plain wrapper. -- Pocket News
