                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Nothing is certain in STORMCROWE, with changing loyalties, changing 
Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--DARQUE FORCES.  Like a chunk of 
francium heaved into a wet pond, YUPPIE SHELTER blew up the rankings to 11!  Thinking 
about sending their team manager to the Dark Arena is GOING BERSERK, after suffering 
a 11 drop in ranking.  The boys at FAVORITE SAYINGS 7 aren't the happy-go-lucky bunch 
we all know and love, after suffering a 12 drop last week.  Good things come to those 
who fight well, as DARQUE FORCES can attest, moving up by 2.  Practice pays for 
SHRIMP SCAMP, who pummelled KWITCHERBICHON, to pocket 18 points.  A certain someone 
should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 12 points to PANIC 
ROOM.  (Discrete enough, STICKY BLUE BLADE?) FAMILY RECIPE successfully staved off a 
grab for the roses by POISON IV of DARQUE FORCES.  Does STORMCROWE have no one 
talented enough to dethrone her?  Word has it one team in STORMCROWE 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!  Perhaps the warriors of OTIS LIKES 
LUNGERS should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  As a woman 
of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of CANDY CRUSHERS, so did that sorry team shy 
from OTIS LIKES LUNGERS Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good 
oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, TOBIR BATTER is the most challenged warrior.  Word has 
it SOUTH POLE suffered a romantic setback.  Note how it challenged KURR, 29 points 
its senior.  Not to smear a reputation, but GOING BERSERK must be a little surprised, 
as KURR blew it when facing SOUTH POLE, 29 points below him.  Do my ears deceive me?  
JUICE BOX (outclassed by 26 points) challenged AIR BNB, in what promises to be a 
fight.(!) Soopreyes, soopreyes!  JUICE BOX emerges from the fray 4 points the richer. 
Good show, JUICE BOX!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen 
into an unconscious stupor.   
     Do not think spyreporting in STORMCROWE is the highlight of my life.  My fingers 
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable 
character.  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid STORMCROWE 
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

Mary Krueger -- Looks like we had a battle of the losers and you won.  Grats. Skills 
were sweet for the both of us. We are now 1-1 in fights vs each other, I smell a 
rubber match coming up. If only for a repeat of the great skills I got in both fights. 
Prepare for a re-re-match. LOL -- Mia-Rat

I'm singing the crap replacement blues here. 8 deaths during the contest. 9 straight 
DA's post contest. Nothing but crap. My guess is the rest of you managers are hogging 
up all the prized recruits before I get a chance to scout them. You all suck! LOL --

For the Cincy FtF, Mannequin/Crip are organizing a visit to the Great American Ball 
Park on the Friday night (16 Jul, 7:10 start time) to watch the Reds/Brewers game.  If 
interested, please contact Crip through gwerner - @ - twcny dot rr dot com.  Because 
of Covid, tickets are being sold in specific pods, so if 8 people want to go, we may 
have to sit in two different groups.  Please respond by 1 May if interested so we can 
pre-purchase the tickets. -- Crip & Mannequin
