                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of ARUAK CITY.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Those betting on 
TOTEMS OF RAGE lost their shirt, as TOTEMS OF RAGE lost their fighting abilities:  
0-0-0.  What's a move up by 5 you ask?  (alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for 
celebration, according to NANNY HOUSE.  Say what you will about blind luck and dirty 
fighting, but THE RED HAND will tell you 92-48-1 is nothing to laugh at...  Practice 
pays for DANNIL LEWIN, who pummelled THE FARMER'S DOG, to pocket 21 points.  Win 
some, lose some.  Speaking of which, DANNIL LEWIN was winsome, after beating THE 
FARMER'S DOG and seeing him lose 11 points.  Like a flirtacious debutante, ARUAK 
CITY's Duelmaster CLEAVE TO GENIUS found himself the man of the hour, being "invited 
to dance" 4 times!  You could cut the tension with a scimitar as BIRDLEGG PITTMAN of 
THE BLUES met the Duelmaster.  Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed 
by BIRDLEGG PITTMAN, of THE BLUES, who despite a 18-14-1 couldn't overcome ARUAK 
CITY's Number 1.  Word has it one team in ARUAK CITY is using psychics to predict 
wins.  They lead a charmed life!   
     And how sociable are ARUAK CITY's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Perhaps the 
warriors of BULLDOGS should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided 
team...  The warriors of BULLDOGS found their efforts at combat frustrated as THE 
BLUES apparently had more important things to do than fight.  COW PIE challenged DEAR 
ABBY!  Who says BULLDOGS are just a bunch of wimps!  COW PIE of BULLDOGS kept its 
wits as it lost to DEAR ABBY.   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Never one to advocate diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see NAMED 03 
retaliate against COLORIFIC in bloodfeud!  Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he 
will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.   
     All good things must come to an end.  My fingers tire and I fear my incessant 
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character.  Like a mixed 
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid ARUAK CITY farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
