                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  MIDDLE WAY 10 had cause to celebrate, after LENDIS OHLM got 13 points 
by beating VENOMOUS CONCUBINE.  THE BIG 'OH' certainly had a baffled expression on 
its face, after losing to LON OLBERT and losing 8 points in the process!  The arena 
was more crowded than usual this time, as STREET RACER faced VALAMANTIS' Duelmaster.  
What can be a greater victory?  STREET RACER has taken his place as the top, as 
VALAMANTIS' new Duelmaster.  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last 
week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     So much to report, so little time!  If challenges were horses, LON OLBERT could 
open up a fast food joint!   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Questions are being 
raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in 
VALAMANTIS would I avoid!   
     Do not think spyreporting in VALAMANTIS is the highlight of my life.  As if 
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.  
VALAMANTIS, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at Drunkard's 
Guild.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

Eight standbys on the sands today, all of them lost and two were killed.  We didn't
get to fight them all, of course.  In fact, we only got HALF, which means one real
fight for us:  Ludwig defeated a Public Nuisance.  Between that and the standbys, we
went four-one.  The loss?  Oder could't handle a Convicted Assassin.  Wimp. -- Kim

                        WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!

Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 16-18, 2015.  It will be 
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444), the same hotel as 
last year by popular request.  Room rates are $149.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which 
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport 
shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet.  There's a fitness center, 
jacuzzi, and pool.  The rooms are blocked--code RSI.

Please make your reservations now if you plan to go.  This is prime season for 
Phoenix, and this year will be crazy:  the Superbowl, Phoenix Open, auto auction, PF 
Chang's Marathon, and more are all during that time.  The hotel will be filling up 
quickly and I won't be able to add rooms to the block after they are full.  So please 
book your room now -- if you can't make it you can cancel your reservation, but we 
hope you do!

Look for the tournament info sheet and minioverviews some time in December.  We hope 
you're all looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
