SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon VALAMANTIS,
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Practice pays for MONOLITH II, who pummelled
IVAN PAVLOV, to pocket 19 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, THE
PLAGUE was winsome, after beating GILFMET IVERS and seeing him lose 12 points.
KUNG-FU MASTER found out that VALAMANTIS isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best
to be Duelmaster here! 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? Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so
did the "warriors" in VALAMANTIS avoid HILLTOP GURUS. The warriors of HILLTOP GURUS
found their efforts at combat frustrated as DISASTERS apparently had more important
things to do than fight. If challenges were horses, IMROM LLEWS could open up a fast
food joint!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Do not think spyreporting in VALAMANTIS is the highlight of my life. Keep those
sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I
now bid VALAMANTIS farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Witchy Woman -- You bewitch me. -- Stanly Millgram
Training Buddha -- You'll never reach nirvana by sending me to the infirmary -- B.F.
Skinner
Lark Norry -- Very interesting. -- Max Weber
JimEmma -- I was told you could still request them, but the census forms no longer
print automatically. -- Sherlock Mgr. Out of Control
White Wizard -- Well, drat. I was hoping you'd let me go out on a win; it isn't like
I'd be taking the title from you. Of course, I still get to go OUT, and that is so
good compared to any other positive result, I don't really care. Good fight. You
deserve the title. -- JimEmma Loca
A Fratsfa Slave? Why don't we get a REAL Fratsfa Slave here? If we can capture an
orc, why not capture a Fratsfan? The Andorians are in such disarray, they won't even
notice-- Oh. Our Captured Orc isn't an orc, either.... Darn. -- Gilfmet Ivers
P.S. Maybe we should work on this?
The Plague -- As if! I've been taking my vitamin C regularly! -- Imrom Llews
Inferno -- You just burn me up! -- Gilbern Juss
P.S. A little fire in the furnace is one thing, but we do NOT need you all over the
place.
Max Weber -- Is that the proper way to welcome a new arrival? I'm not complaining, I
survived, just checking. -- Lark Norry
P.S. But I wish I knew what my race was.
