You surprised me, Roo.  I didn't expect the win, but I'll take it and say thanks.

                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  MIDDLE WAY 20?  Who?  CREDIT is the top team these days, buddies!  
Practice pays for HOUSTON FARMER, who pummelled RIRORNI SABOTEUR, to pocket 20 
points.  ELIN GALLIO successfully staved off a grab for the roses by LIMS KRIGMA of 
MEN OF STEEL.  Does ROCANIS have no one talented enough to dethrone her?  Word has it 
one team in ROCANIS is using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     And how sociable are ROCANIS' warriors?  Come, let us see.  Perhaps the warriors 
of KNIGHTS OF NI should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  
As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of CREDIT, so did that sorry team 
shy from KNIGHTS OF NI Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good 
oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, GILBERT IRDAN is the most challenged warrior.   
     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.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As the seasons change, and the creatures of the 
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place.  ROCANIS, I leave you 
now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at Mylar's.  'Til next time-- 
Novgorodny Vir

-- Isam Korl

Isam, at this rate, you are going to owe more and more and interest is rising! -- 
Quicken

Mr. Irdan, you have my number; please don't call it. -- First National

Ambitious Guard, I don't think you are going about it in the proper way. -- Title Max
