I never did care for men with false eyelashes. But at least he isn't the duelmaster. Deemer Eppt SPY REPORT Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! MIDDLE WAY 16 had cause to celebrate, after BARTON DAWES got 22 points by beating BOOTSY COLLINS. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, GEORGE CLINTON was winsome, after beating FORBERT GRELL and seeing him lose 9 points. Out with the old, in with the new. Enter KUNG-FU MASTER, handily defeating DEEMER EPPT. With 60 points, ARKAN BARNES of MIDDLE WAY 16 takes the position of JURINE's Duelmaster. So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me. A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the little birds cry out?' Any ideas? 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. Do not think spyreporting in JURINE is the highlight of my life. As the seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid JURINE farewell-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ARKAN BARNES 3684 6 3 0 60 MIDDLE WAY 16 (387) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ANDRES 3645 13 8 0 93 BOMB SQUAD (406) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DEEMER EPPT 3629 9 10 0 59 MIDDLE WAY 16 (387) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GEORGE CLINTON 3637 9 12 0 54 BOMB SQUAD (406) BARTON DAWES 3673 8 4 0 48 MIDDLE WAY 16 (387) BOOTSY COLLINS 3639 12 9 0 45 BOMB SQUAD (406) FORBERT GRELL 3687 4 2 0 41 MIDDLE WAY 16 (387) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VINDA YARRO 3691 3 1 1 20 MIDDLE WAY 16 (387) -PHIL 3683 1 1 0 13 BOMB SQUAD (406) DEACON 3692 0 1 0 1 BOMB SQUAD (406) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
