                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Practice pays for NJORD, who pummelled STANDBY, to pocket 23 points.  
SLAMBO certainly had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing to CONVICTED 
ASSASSIN and losing 31 points in the process!  Well, Duelmaster CALLOUS COURTNEY Dark 
Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's HIGH ELF.  Is a 15-2-1 good enough?  Those who hoped 
for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by HIGH ELF, of DARK ARENA, who despite a 
0-0-0 couldn't overcome STORMCROWE's Number 1.  Word has it one team in STORMCROWE is 
using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in GOD OR 
GODDESS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  As a woman 
of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of ERRATA, so did that sorry team shy from GOD 
OR GODDESS If challenges were horses, MINI DRIVER could open up a fast food joint!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  HIGH ELF in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for CALLOUS COURTNEY of STREET 
WALKERS.  Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at The Shadow's Fountain will be!  Those 
who owe PAYNE of DARQUE FORCES money and had written her off, take note:  she'S BACK 
FROM THE DARK ARENA!!!  AND she'S MAD!!!  Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he 
will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.   
     All good things must come to an end.  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards 
fat!  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Frigga -- For more than four minutes, we have to be inside.  It was cold out. --
White Bear
P.S.  Inside, using other skills, we could go an hour or two....

Our congratulations to Callous Courtney and Payne. -- Jorja and the Northern Lights

We salute the tourney participants. -- Jorja and, again, the Northern Lights

Ouch, a two-three turn.  I think we should take the Fifth. -- Aurora Marie, scanning
the newsletter

Marie -- Great idea.  A fifth of scotch! -- Glitrina

No drinking!  Ah, no drinking alcoholic beverages, anyway.  Jorja would get annoyed.
-- White Bear

Standby -- Well, at least I can console myself that I lost to someone more
experienced.  And learned several skills.  That helps. -- Aurora Marie
P.S.  But a fifth, or at least a sixth, sounds like a good plan to me.

Elishar -- That was totally unpleasant, and I only got one skill out of it, too.
Bummer.  Definitely a fifth is called for. -- Glitrina

Aegir -- I wouldn't have MINDED an evener match, even against a standby.  Oh, well.
-- Iapere

The Mordant Deserter made a good chewy-toy. -- White Bear

Thor -- You get the short end of the mismatch.  Tough, but sometimes the unfairness
goes in our favor.  Not OFTEN, mind you, but sometimes. -- Avalanche
