                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Nothing is certain in JHANS, with changing loyalties, changing 
Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--IRON TIGERS.  UNKNOWNS after a sorry 
1-1-0 might want to consider abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't 
fight no more' blues!  Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a 
perceptive observation?) as BABES can attest...  BABES had cause to celebrate, after 
REBA got 19 points by beating MOLE.  THE MAESTRO certainly had a baffled expression 
on hers face, after losing to SILVER SIDE UP and losing 16 points in the process!  
Well, Duelmaster ZANTARA challenged UNKNOWNS' KNOCKED UP!.  Is a 12-11-0 good enough? 
Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by KNOCKED UP!, of UNKNOWNS, 
who despite a 11-3-0 couldn't overcome JHANS' Number 1.  Word has it one team in 
JHANS 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!  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst 
the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of EVER AFTER, alone and unchallenged.  As a 
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of LITTLE GIRLS LIKE..., so did that 
sorry team shy from EVER AFTER Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities? 
Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, BROKEN MIRROR is the most challenged warrior.  
Them's the breaks, HURRICANE.  Expecting fair challenges from IRON TIGERS is 
evidently too much to ask.  TARGEN bested HURRICANE with a point difference of 17.  
So this is what JHANS calls a duel.  This will make an interesting tale.  As a 
confidence booster, YASMIN OF BRATZ challenged SOVREIGN HAMMER, down 19 points.  Do 
you also slay vicious rodents in your spare time, YASMIN OF BRATZ?  Warriors of 
JHANS!  Do you wish your reputations tainted by the base challenge of YASMIN OF 
BRATZ?  BLANKEE challenged KATHLEEN!  Who says LITTLE GIRLS LIKE... are just a bunch 
of wimps!  BLANKEE of LITTLE GIRLS LIKE... kept his wits as he was defeated by 
KATHLEEN.   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Justice was served as REBA fought MOLE in bloodfeud.  Well done, BABES!  Ask not for 
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Do not think spyreporting in JHANS is the highlight of my life.  More important 
duties call me.  JHANS, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill 
at Lucas Lounge.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
