                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of ILLIS.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give 
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  BOOK OF THOMAS?  Who?  
ISLANDERS is the top team these days, buddies!  What's a move up by 3 you ask?  
(alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, according to ISLANDERS.  
Practice pays for WITHDRAWAL, who pummelled HARBOR SEAL, to pocket 17 points.  Win 
some, lose some.  Speaking of which, HULA MIA was winsome, after beating CLAYBORN and 
seeing him lose 4 points.  Now I can't insult SINCLAIR, as he 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.   
     So much to report, so little time!  Perhaps the warriors of IMPROVED ILLUSION 
should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  The warriors of 
IMPROVED ILLUSION found their efforts at combat frustrated as BASHAHOLICS ANON 
apparently had more important things to do than fight.   
     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 ILLIS 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 ILLIS 
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
