                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon AMEN-TEI, for 
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Practice pays for IT'S NACHO CHEESE, who pummelled 
NAKA, to pocket 21 points.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and 
practice more, after losing 16 points to IT'S NACHO CHEESE.  (Discrete enough, NAKA?) 
A certain someone saw JALAPENO BUSINESS at The Dripping Blade with the shakes, and 
now he fails to show up to defend his throne.  What a pathetic slob!  What can be a 
greater victory?  RHO TELESCOPII has taken hers place as the top, as AMEN-TEI's new 
Duelmaster.  Word has it one team in AMEN-TEI is taking speech lessons to try to bore 
their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from 
the lion, so did the "warriors" in AMEN-TEI avoid BAD ATTIFOOD.  As a woman of good 
breeding scorns the "warriors" of SATAN'S SAINTS, so did that sorry team shy from BAD 
ATTIFOOD Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and DARKFIRE is it right now.  Most 
challenged warrior.  Isn't STEELE RISING proud!  Them's the breaks, PICKLES AND 
ONIONS.  Expecting fair challenges from SATAN'S SAINTS is evidently too much to ask.  
JOHN BOSCO won victory over PICKLES AND ONIONS.  The whole thing leaves a bitter 
memory.  BABY, PEAS! challenged DARKFIRE!  Who says BAD ATTIFOOD are just a bunch of 
wimps!  BABY, PEAS! of BAD ATTIFOOD kept his wits as he was beat by DARKFIRE.   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Death (in the form of KITIANA of WRATHMEN 1-18) knocked on SHY GUY's door.  What will 
STEELE RISING do?  The suspense is killing me.  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.  AMEN-TEI, I leave you now.  The 
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Dripping Blade.  'Til next time-- 
Novgorodny Vir

Jalapeno Business -- I thought I was ready for you with sour cream, but one of the 
stewards swiped it to make himself a dip.  Bummer. -- Barrett Inch

Naka -- Maybe you need something like sour cream, too.  Although I'm not Pickles, 
Onions, and Peppers. -- Pickles and Onions

If assassination was truly a noble occupation, why does he work as an arena standby on 
the side? -- Poor Stranger

Psychosis -- Have your tried counseling? -- Whirlwind

Warriors and Managers of Amen-Tei -- Jorja here.  I *like* writing fiction for the 
newsletters, and I'm *going* to do it, whether you want to participate or not.  In the 
absence of any clues beyond the warrior and team names, I'm going to establish 
characters for the warriors we face and write about them.  Feel free to make comment.  
If you don't want your warriors involved, a statement to that effect in the newsletter 
will stop me.  If you want input but not to write a personal, send me a diplo, or ask 
CSR for my email address.  Your involvement would be welcome. -- Jorja
