SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! Nothing is certain in FLORAL VALLEY, with changing loyalties, changing
Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--FIRE INC.. What's a move up by 5 you
ask? (alright, maybe you didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to ODD ODIUS
ORCS. Good things come to those who fight well, as SITTEES can attest, moving up by
2. Practice pays for SPIRE BURP HAMMER, who pummelled INFERNO, to pocket 14 points.
INFERNO certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to SPIRE BURP
HAMMER and losing 11 points in the process! A certain someone saw IMTOOSEXY at The
Victory Tavern with the shakes, and now it fails to show up to defend its throne.
What a pathetic slob! Now I can't insult SHY ANN, as she has gloriously dueled to
the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it
one team in FLORAL VALLEY is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed
life!
And how sociable are FLORAL VALLEY's warriors? Come, let us see. To quell some
nasty rumors, the guys in SITTEES are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need
to avoid 'em. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of BLOOD AND GUTS!,
so did that sorry team shy from SITTEES If challenges were horses, PAS DE QUARTIER
could open up a fast food joint!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Like a tattered, worn-out, faded, out-of-fashion garment cast out to rot,
PSYCHOSIS of DARK RAIDERS has been summarily sent to the Dark Arena. Admittedly
Death waits for no one, but me thinks PSYCHOSIS of DARK RAIDERS (17-9-4) is being
sent off a little prematurely. Those who owe OAK LEE of SITTEES money and had
written him off, take note: he'S BACK FROM THE DARK ARENA!!! AND he'S MAD!!! Ask
not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into
an unconscious stupor.
Leave me now, you base fools! Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat!
FLORAL VALLEY, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The
Victory Tavern. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

I have not been receiving my physical turns in a reliable manner lately. If there
are diplos with the turns that go missing, they're gone for good. So if you send me
a diplo and do not see an acknowledgement of receipt in the personals, know that I
have not gotten it (yet). If you have email, contact me at Livia AT reality DOT com.
If you don't have email, keep trying with the diplos. We are working on this
problem. -- the Scribe/Jorja/Leeta
P.S. If you email me, put "Re DM" on the subject line.
