                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ARADI, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Nothing is certain in ARADI, with changing loyalties, 
changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--UNNAMEABLES.  Practice pays 
for HARMLET, who pummelled PERSISTENT BEGGAR, to pocket 16 points.  Win some, lose 
some.  Speaking of which, GRIMPEN MIRE was winsome, after beating GAMMA TRIANGULI and 
seeing him lose 9 points.  Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by 
DELTA TRIANGULI, of TRIANGULUM, who despite a 11-22-0 couldn't overcome ARADI's 
Number 1.  So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging 
dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Oh hard!  that 
to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     All good things must come to an end.  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond 
my control, I must take my leave of this place.  Like a mixed metaphor, and an 
overtaxed simile, I now bid ARADI farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
