                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  The boys at BOOK OF THOMAS left the arena dejected, after being kicked 
out of the top spot by ISLANDERS.  Good show!  A certain someone should cut down on 
the drinking and practice more, after losing 10 points to SINCLAIR.  (Discrete 
enough, JAR OF CLAY?) A certain someone saw PILLOW FIGHT at The Welcome Wench with 
the shakes, and now she fails to show up to defend hers throne.  What a pathetic 
slob!  Now I can't insult LONG ISLAND, as it 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 
ILLIS is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it 
works.   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of IMPROVED ILLUSION, alone and unchallenged.  
The warriors of IMPROVED ILLUSION found their efforts at combat frustrated as 
BASHAHOLICS ANON apparently had more important things to do than fight.  If 
challenges were horses, FISHHOOK could open up a fast food joint!  BELLOWS found 
himself challenged by a warrior 20 below:  JUST ONE IS OK.  JUST ONE IS OK of 
BASHAHOLICS ANON kept his wits as he slew BELLOWS.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  The warriors at NEXUS 5 stable were more sober than usual, after BELLOWS' 
demise at the hands of JUST ONE IS OK.  JUST ONE IS OK, don't make any long term 
plans!  Forgive and forget is not my motto.  Take heed, NEXUS 5, as MACCABEE's death 
remains unavenged.  Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body 
parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in ILLIS would I avoid!   
     All good things must come to an end.  More important duties call me.  ILLIS, I 
leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Welcome Wench.  'Til 
next time-- Novgorodny Vir
