                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  What's a move up by 3 you ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause 
for celebration, according to KNIGHT BREED.  SHEWISH BUFFET had cause to celebrate, 
after BROWNIE SUNDAE got 17 points by beating ASH'RAK.  PANIC ROOM certainly had a 
baffled expression on his face, after losing to M.C. and losing 14 points in the 
process!  The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as SECURITY GUARD faced 
STORMCROWE's Duelmaster.  What can be a greater victory?  SECURITY GUARD has taken 
his place as the top, as STORMCROWE's new Duelmaster.  Word has it one team in 
STORMCROWE is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet 
it works.   
     So much to report, so little time!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in 
KNIGHT BREED are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  As a 
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of AVID FANS, so did that sorry team shy 
from KNIGHT BREED If challenges were horses, HARLOCK could open up a fast food joint! 
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  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.  More 
important duties call me.  Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports 
for STORMCROWE?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
