                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Like a chunk of francium heaved into a wet 
pond, BLUE TIME JEWELS blew up the rankings to 12!  Managers were muttering after 
STONED ROOKIES 3 showed DWES EG what they could do:  1-0-0 to move up by 14.  Perhaps 
it is STONED ROOKIES 5 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, TRIBAL COUNCIL 9 blew up the rankings to 25!  Managers were muttering after 
STONED ROOKIES 2 showed DWES EG what they could do:  1-0-0 to move up by 17.  Perhaps 
it is ROOKIE CULT 42 members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 30th to 
12th last week...  (Less time in the sun...) Like a chunk of francium heaved into a 
wet pond, ANGRY CHICKEN blew up the rankings to 18!  The boys at GOLDFINGERS aren't 
the happy-go-lucky bunch we all know and love, after suffering a 13 drop last week.  
Managers were muttering after END OF THE LINE showed DWES EG what they could do:  
2-3-0 to move up by 18.  Rumor has it an incurable disease has swept the stable of 
COMPOSERS.  Note their drop in the rankings from 14th to 31st.  Watch out!!!  
Thinking about sending their team manager to the Dark Arena is STAR WRECK, after 
suffering a 16 drop in ranking.  Practice pays for JEK PORKINS, who pummelled SUN 
KING, to pocket 24 points.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and 
practice more, after losing 18 points to JEK PORKINS.  (Discrete enough, SUN KING?) 
Now I can't insult AVALANCHE, as he has gloriously dueled to the top.  Oh great new 
Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who's the team that's been 
walking into taverns last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     So much to report, so little time!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
OSPREY of TRIBAL COUNCIL 9 sends GOLDEN TIDE of GOLDFINGERS goes to the Weary 
Warrior's Retirement Home.  DWES EG has no place for weaklings!  Oh hard!  that to 
strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Do not think spyreporting in DWES EG is the highlight of my life.  As the 
seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to 
leave this place.  DWES EG, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my 
bill at The Welcome Wench.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
