                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  FIGHTING IRISH had cause to celebrate, after FION MAC CUMHAIL got 15 
points by beating VIRTUOUS SCRIBE.  MISS CONGENIALITY certainly had a baffled 
expression on hers face, after losing to MICROAGGRESSION and losing 2 points in the 
process!  Like a flirtacious debutante, ARKERS' Duelmaster POTTER SANDS found himself 
the man of the hour, being "invited to dance" 3 times!  The arena was more crowded 
than usual this time, as MISS OURIE faced ARKERS' Duelmaster.  What can be a greater 
victory?  MISS OURIE has taken hers place as the top, as ARKERS' new Duelmaster.  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!  Perhaps the warriors of ASSASSIN NATION 
should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  The warriors of 
ASSASSIN NATION found their efforts at combat frustrated as LADIES IN WAITING 
apparently had more important things to do than fight.   
     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 ARKERS is the highlight of my life.  Keep those 
sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Hostility -- Thank you, that last one was close indeed!  I'm sure the trees are much 
relieved, and my envelopes have become noticeably slimmer.  I was 16(3)-19(3)-11-8(3)-
