SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Practice pays for HOFFA, who pummelled TOOT
TOOT, to pocket 19 points. Our Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to KUNG-FU MASTER,
BUT LON OLBERT is still the Duelmaster because he has the most recognition points!
Word has it one team in VALAMANTIS is taking speech lessons to try to bore their
opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
And how sociable are VALAMANTIS' warriors? Come, let us see. Like the noble
eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of STRIKER FORCE, alone
and unchallenged. As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of NEVERNEVER,
so did that sorry team shy from STRIKER FORCE
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
More than one waitress at The Aradi Alyia was spilling more drinks than usual last
week, as TOOT TOOT's early demise became known. What will NEVERNEVER do??? Ask not
for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Leave me now, you base fools! 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 VALAMANTIS farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

Oh, gods! Two-three, and four of our fights were against standbys! That's just
pathetic. I don't like being pathetic, but then *I* won my fight. But the team is
just going to hell in battered cardboard box. (Hard to find handbaskets these days.)
