                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Nothing is certain in ERINIKA, with changing 
loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--BB CBA NEGOT..  
Perhaps it is TUCANA II members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 18th to 
6th last week...  (Less time in the sun...) Like a chunk of francium heaved into a 
wet pond, ARA blew up the rankings to 18!  Managers were muttering after OCTANS 
showed ERINIKA what they could do:  1-0-0 to move up by 18.  Perhaps it is LUDUS 
MAGNUS XIX members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 29th to 17th last 
week...  (Less time in the sun...) Thinking about sending their team manager to the 
Dark Arena is MYTHOS 7, after suffering a 13 drop in ranking.  Practice pays for 
MEAT, who pummelled NERGAL, to pocket 19 points.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of 
which, MEAT was winsome, after beating NERGAL and seeing him lose 9 points.  SIR 
GARLON found out that ERINIKA isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be 
Duelmaster here!  Word has it one team in ERINIKA is using psychics to predict wins.  
They lead a charmed life!   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  If challenges were horses, DON CRESCENT could 
open up a fast food joint!   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  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.  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- 
Novgorodny Vir
