SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! GOING BERSERK? Who? IMA BUBBA 2 is the top team these days, buddies!
Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as
IMA BUBBA 2 can attest... IMA BUBBA 2 had cause to celebrate, after IMA GETCHA got
17 points by beating URBAN LEGEND. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, KURR was
winsome, after beating LITTLE SISTER and seeing her lose 3 points. Those who hoped
for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by HMS CENTURIAN, of BATTLE SHIPS, who despite
a 12-7-0 couldn't overcome STORMCROWE's Number 1. So who was the warrior seen
charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic
problem...
So much to report, so little time! Perhaps the warriors of IMA BUBBA 2 should
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... Like a pup with its tail
between its legs, GOING BERSERK scurried away from IMA BUBBA 2. Oh, the shame!
Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and POLE STAR is it right now. Most
challenged warrior. Isn't NORTHERN LIGHTS proud!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not for
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Do not think spyreporting in STORMCROWE is the highlight of my life. As the
seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to
leave this place. STORMCROWE, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my
bill at The Shadow's Fountain. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

HALLOWEEN TOURNAMENT UPDATE
It has come to our attention that a warrior, Voodoo Toad 85-14776, was sent to
the Dark Arena and slain in order to be classed as a Dead Challenger in this past
Halloween Tournament. As this warrior is a Zombie, this was against the rules because
immortal warriors may not challenge the Dark Arena. (An exception is granted so a
warrior may challenge the Dark Arena on his very last turn after receiving an
invitation to Advanced Duelmasters, so he can show his prowess with the Dark Arena
monsters, but this may not be used as a method of classing in the dead tournament if
he happens to die in the night fight.)
To correct this injustice, we changed the fight result for all warriors who
lost to Voodoo Toad to a win for that turn. This gave two warriors, Crazy 54 84-11494
of Crazy 88 15 and Sarokith 84-30929 of Dub O Dubs, an ending record of 8-3, which
grants them Tournament Victor status and resurrection.
We realize this is not a perfect solution but hope it will make some amends
for the warriors who lost to this misclassed warrior.
