Good try, Corin, but it was not your day.

                                   -- White Tiger

                                      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 JADE MOUNTAIN, with 
changing loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--CRITICALS. 
CRITICALS had cause to celebrate, after FELLING POWER got 11 points by beating 
EGGCRACKER.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, 
after losing 6 points to ZELBAN SWORDBITER.  (Discrete enough, ERIC THE RED?) The 
arena was more crowded than usual this time, as NAPOLEON faced JADE MOUNTAIN's 
Duelmaster.  NAPOLEON 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 taking 
speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the 
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of CRITICALS, alone and unchallenged.  The 
warriors of CRITICALS found their efforts at combat frustrated as JADED WARRIORS 
apparently had more important things to do than fight.  If challenges were horses, 
EGGCRACKER could open up a fast food joint!  Place your bets!  FULL EXTENSION is the 
long shot of the week:  they challenged JO MING, up by 28.  Not to smear a 
reputation, but SAND DANCERS must be a little surprised, as JO MING blew it when 
facing FULL EXTENSION, 28 points below him.   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen 
into an unconscious stupor.   
     All good things must come to an end.  My fingers tire and I fear my incessant 
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character.  JADE MOUNTAIN, I 
leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Green Axe.  'Til 
next time-- Novgorodny Vir
