SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! He who laughs last didn't get the joke.
Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe THE BULLS. Last week they got 0-0-0 to drop
by 4! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive
observation?) as DREW'S BOYS can attest... Practice pays for ROSHILL, who pummelled
MORDANT DESERTER, to pocket 9 points. Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were
disappointed by LAELKORISSA, of FAVORITE GUYS, who despite a 15-24-2 couldn't
overcome ERINIKA's Number 1. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable
walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Perhaps the warriors of DAMNED LIES
should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... As a woman of good
breeding scorns the "warriors" of DREW'S BOYS, so did that sorry team shy from DAMNED
LIES
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not for
whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Leave me now, you base fools! 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 ERINIKA farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
