                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive 
observation?) as PAPER TIGERS W19.1 can attest...  PAPER TIGERS W19.1 had cause to 
celebrate, after SLY got 21 points by beating SCHMUCK'S GROCERY.  TELL CITY certainly 
had a baffled expression on its face, after losing to MIGHTY MITE and losing 13 
points in the process!  In DAL SHANG, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we 
find ourselves a new Duelmaster, DON LO.  Word has it one team in DAL SHANG 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!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys 
in SAND DANCERS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  As a 
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of PLACES, so did that sorry team shy 
from SAND DANCERS  
     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 DAL SHANG is the highlight of my life.  As the 
seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to 
leave this place.  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid DAL 
SHANG farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
