                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of BLACKSTONE.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Perhaps it is 
4-LETTER VOMIT members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 14th to 2nd last 
week...  (Less time in the sun...) Like a chunk of francium heaved into a wet pond, 
ROOKIE QUEEN 38 blew up the rankings to 13!  Managers were muttering after THE BIG 
BLEED showed BLACKSTONE what they could do:  2-0-0 to move up by 31.  Perhaps it is 
XCOM OPS members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 21st to 6th last 
week...  (Less time in the sun...) Like a chunk of francium heaved into a wet pond, 
PHILANTHROPISTS 104 blew up the rankings to 33!  Managers were muttering after 
PHILANTHROPISTS43 showed BLACKSTONE what they could do:  1-0-0 to move up by 33.  
Perhaps it is MEDAL OF HONOR L5 members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 
35th to 10th last week...  (Less time in the sun...) Like a chunk of francium heaved 
into a wet pond, NAMED BY TDO blew up the rankings to 30!  Managers were muttering 
after ROOKIE METALLICA 8 showed BLACKSTONE what they could do:  1-0-0 to move up by 
28.  Perhaps it is MORNING FIX members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 
56th to 29th last week...  (Less time in the sun...) Like a chunk of francium heaved 
into a wet pond, MEDAL OF HONOR HT blew up the rankings to 29!  Managers were 
muttering after MEDAL OF HONRO T4 showed BLACKSTONE what they could do:  1-0-0 to 
move up by 29.  Perhaps it is MEDAL OF HONOR J5 members' intannibility that enabled 
them to move from 66th to 35th last week...  (Less time in the sun...) Rumor has it 
an incurable disease has swept the stable of ROOKIE METALLICA 6.  Note their drop in 
the rankings from 13th to 38th.  Watch out!!!  Thinking about sending their team 
manager to the Dark Arena is ROOKIE QUEEN 11, after suffering a 23 drop in ranking.  
Like a chunk of francium heaved into a wet pond, MEDAL OF HONOR T11 blew up the 
rankings to 17!  MEDAL OF HONOR L5 had cause to celebrate, after YUKIO OKUTSU got 25 
points by beating TIN WOMAN.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, FORCED SUBTEXT 
was winsome, after beating ATTACK and seeing him lose 13 points.  Those who hoped for 
a new Duelmaster were disappointed by CUP O TEA, of STUCK IN THE MUD, who despite a 
7-2-0 couldn't overcome BLACKSTONE's Number 1.  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!  If challenges were horses, TIN WOMAN could 
open up a fast food joint!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Do not think spyreporting in BLACKSTONE is the highlight of my life.  My fingers 
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable 
character.  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
