                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  LANCIARII?  Who?  CHAOS KIDS is the top team 
these days, buddies!  Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a 
perceptive observation?) as ZEITGEISTS can attest...  Practice pays for RAYMOND, who 
pummelled JODECIAN, to pocket 16 points.  JODECIAN certainly had a baffled expression 
on his face, after losing to RAYMOND and losing 15 points in the process!  Duelmaster 
CRUSHED APPLE from ANGRY EDEN is going for the gold, as he challenged PSYCHO SQUAD's 
HALLUCENT.  Ooh, the excitement!  HALLUCENT found out that TRANSEL isn't a democracy. 
You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!  So who's the team that's been 
walking into taverns last week and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     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 BREWHALLA, alone and unchallenged.  The 
warriors of BREWHALLA found their efforts at combat frustrated as ANGRY EDEN 
apparently had more important things to do than fight.  Is it charming personality?  
Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, HALLUCENT is the most 
challenged warrior.  Call 'im brash!  Call 'im brassy!  Call 'im brave!  Call 'im 
sassy!  ALDOR will face OLEANDER, up by 28.  Aaaah, just call 'im dead meat.  Not to 
smear a reputation, but CHAOS KIDS must be a little surprised, as OLEANDER blew it 
when facing ALDOR, 28 points below her.   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Do not think spyreporting in TRANSEL is the highlight of my life.  Keep those 
sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
