                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive 
observation?) as ASSASSIN NATION can attest...  Good things come to those who fight 
well, as FIGHTING IRISH can attest, moving up by 1.  Practice pays for TOKYO ROSE, 
who pummelled ROMULUS, to pocket 13 points.  COURTINGDISASTUS certainly had a baffled 
expression on his face, after losing to DREAD and losing 11 points in the process!  
You could cut the tension with a scimitar as DONN of FIGHTING IRISH met the 
Duelmaster.  What can be a greater victory?  DONN has taken his place as the top, as 
ARKERS' new Duelmaster.  Word has it one team in ARKERS is taking speech lessons to 
try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys 
in FIGHTING IRISH are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  As 
a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of ASSASSIN NATION, so did that sorry 
team shy from FIGHTING IRISH Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and ROMULUS is 
it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't TEN TON TOGAS proud!  My love of 
complete Spyreports dictates that I note the mismatched fight, LUXOR and CHAS.  Are 
TEN TON TOGAS unwilling to engage in a fair fight?  I thought LUXOR showed great 
skill and promise when he bested CHAS.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!  
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Charity is unknown in 
ARKERS, and rightly so.  FIGHTING IRISH exacted their revenge against FAR TRAVELERS.  
Oh hard!  that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Do not think spyreporting in ARKERS is the highlight of my life.  Keep those 
sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I 
now bid ARKERS farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
