                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of ALJAFIR.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  NEON SCRAPPERS had 
cause to celebrate, after GRIMWAVE got 14 points by beating FARRELL.  Win some, lose 
some.  Speaking of which, GRIMWAVE was winsome, after beating FARRELL and seeing him 
lose 12 points.  Now I can't insult MR PYTHON, as it has gloriously dueled to the 
top.  Oh great new Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who was the 
warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got 
a basic problem...   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Perhaps the warriors of TROLLS should take up 
some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  As a woman of good breeding 
scorns the "warriors" of THE SHOWOFFS, so did that sorry team shy from TROLLS If 
challenges were horses, PERSEUS could open up a fast food joint!   
     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.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  
Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for ALJAFIR?  On that 
giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
