                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of DAL SHANG.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  The boys at 
TRILLIUM left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by SAND 
DANCERS.  Good show!  SAND DANCERS had cause to celebrate, after PEARL JOSEPHINA got 
21 points by beating OLTIMAL THE LAME.  LEAPIN LIZARD found out that DAL SHANG isn't 
a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!  So who was the warrior 
seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic 
problem...   
     And how sociable are DAL SHANG's warriors?  Come, let us see.   
     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.   
     All good things must come to an end.  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards 
fat!  DAL SHANG, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The 
Blazing Unicorn.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

Gamma Velorum -- Gamma rays!  You use that weapon in an unorthodox fashion.  Now I'm 
glowing in the dark, which is against my name and my nature. -- Dim Li

Headroom -- Your head was too big.  I had to trim it a little. -- Leapin Lizard

I don't like standbys who defeat me, dammit.  Well, I don't like managed gladiators 
who do that, either, of course. -- Bumblefinger

Tiles -- I wasn't even "on the tiles," so why does my head ache so? -- Willi Dee

Alicia Keys -- Oh, well.  It wasn't unfair, but it was unpleasant. -- Pearl Josephina
