                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  CRITICALS?  Who?  SAND DANCERS is the top team 
these days, buddies!  Practice pays for GLEAMING BLADE, who pummelled LADY CHAO, to 
pocket 11 points.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice 
more, after losing 4 points to STRAWBERRY JHANS.  (Discrete enough, RUMBLER?) BLUE 
PLATE SPECIAL found out that JADE MOUNTAIN isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the 
best to be Duelmaster here!  Word has it one team in JADE MOUNTAIN 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?  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and HAN 
KI is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't SAND DANCERS proud!   
     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 JADE MOUNTAIN 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!--
