                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon DRAGONHEAD, 
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  BASH BROS REMOTE?  Who?  BASH BROS MLM is the 
top team these days, buddies!  Managers were muttering after BASH BROS DISEASE showed 
DRAGONHEAD what they could do:  1-0-0 to move up by 12.  BASH BROS BEER after a sorry 
0-0-0 might want to consider abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't 
fight no more' blues!  Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but 
BASH BROS ROADSIDE will tell you 49-21-1 is nothing to laugh at...  OUTCASTS had 
cause to celebrate, after SPARTAN got 19 points by beating COUNT PEPPERMINT.  Win 
some, lose some.  Speaking of which, CAPTURED ORC was winsome, after beating LEMON 
and seeing him lose 15 points.  GOLGO 13 found out being DRAGONHEAD's Duelmaster 
isn't all nuts and berries, receiving 4 challenges!  Those who hoped for a new 
Duelmaster were disappointed by NO BATTERIES, of BASH BROS REMOTE, who despite a 
17-9-1 couldn't overcome DRAGONHEAD's Number 1.  Word has it one team in DRAGONHEAD 
is using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     And how sociable are DRAGONHEAD's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Like a horde of 
jackals fleeing from the lion, so did the "warriors" in DRAGONHEAD avoid SPACE ACTION 
99.  As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of BASH BROS SPRING, so did 
that sorry team shy from SPACE ACTION 99 Them's the breaks, YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE.  
Expecting fair challenges from 022116B is evidently too much to ask.  Warriors of 
DRAGONHEAD!  Do you wish your reputations tainted by the base challenge of TANK TOP?  
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A 
certain tavern in DRAGONHEAD would I avoid!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my 
control, I must take my leave of this place.  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- 
Novgorodny Vir
