                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Like a new team fighting for the first time 
and entering the official rankings, BUSY, BUSYTOWN got 5-0-0 to come in 2nd.  
BLITZKRIEG had cause to celebrate, after KAMA KAZI got 23 points by beating BLUE 
EYES.  BLUE EYES certainly had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing to 
KAMA KAZI and losing 16 points in the process!  TOM THUMB found out that MURSKA isn't 
a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!  Word has it one team 
in MURSKA is using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     And how sociable are MURSKA's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like the noble eagle 
soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of BLITZKRIEG, alone and 
unchallenged.  As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of THE BEARS, so did 
that sorry team shy from BLITZKRIEG Is it charming personality?  Conversational 
abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, O'MALLEY is the most challenged 
warrior.   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Oh hard!  that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     All good things must come to an end.  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards 
fat!  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid MURSKA farewell-- 
Novgorodny Vir

O'Malley -- You don't like my chest?  Tough.  Lots of men do. -- Morpeth
P.S.  And they don't have to worry about turning into pussycats when the moon's full,
either.

Take Cover -- Well, that's hardly decent!  You TOLD me to take the covers, and then
you went roaring around about how someone was sleeping with YOUR quilt.  Cheese.
Talk about two-faced! -- Cu-Cadal

Razzle Dazzle -- Blinding. -- Kai
P.S.  Is it perhaps because of shorting out in that bath you keep talking about?
Although now that I look at you more closely, you aren't VERY short, are you?

Blue Eyes -- You...you BEAR!  I wish I had the chance to give you BLACK eyes. --
Oisan, sadly aware of his limited ability in the arena

Ha!  The Convicted Thief got his just deserts! -- Dallow
P.S.  Well, okay, I didn't MEAN to kill him.  But I don't feel badly about it!  At
least, not very badly.

Dallow -- I tell you now, vicious youth, that you have overstepped the bounds of what
is permitted.  True, we send certain inept thieves into the arena by way of
punishment for sins which need not concern you.  But we reserve to ourselves the
right to mete out the more severe punishments.  You have overstepped, and severe
punishment will be due to you forthwith. -- Jazper Lu Garan, speaking for the Guild
of Thieves
