                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon NIANIA, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Nothing is certain in NIANIA, with changing 
loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--HARLEQUINS.  
Practice pays for TALGEN, who pummelled STAUBACH, to pocket 15 points.  A certain 
someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 13 points to 
MORLATH.  (Discrete enough, HAYES?) Like a flirtacious debutante, NIANIA's Duelmaster 
FAKE HEALER found himself the man of the hour, being "invited to dance" 2 times!  The 
arena was more crowded than usual this time, as JAR faced NIANIA's Duelmaster.  What 
can be a greater victory?  JAR has taken his place as the top, as NIANIA's new 
Duelmaster.  Word has it one team in NIANIA is using psychics to predict wins.  They 
lead a charmed life!   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Perhaps the warriors of DEEP ELVES 
should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  Like a pup with 
its tail between its legs, DOOM BRIGADE scurried away from DEEP ELVES.  Oh, the 
shame!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the 
arena.  A certain tavern in NIANIA would I avoid!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  More important duties call me.  Do not despair!  
I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
