                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of WILLAF.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give 
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Those betting on WRY 
RYE lost their shirt, as WRY RYE lost their fighting abilities:  0-0-0.  Nothing 
works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as JLG can 
attest...  Practice pays for VON LIECHTENSTEIN, who pummelled COME UP BLUE, to pocket 
24 points.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, VON LIECHTENSTEIN was winsome, 
after beating COME UP BLUE and seeing her lose 17 points.  Out with the old, in with 
the new.  Enter VETERAN MERCENARY, handily defeating BAPTISM OF FIRE.  With 102 
points, ANTIETAM of HALLOWED GROUND takes the position of WILLAF's Duelmaster.  Word 
has it one team in WILLAF is using psychics to predict wins.  They lead a charmed 
life!   
     So much to report, so little time!  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the 
lion, so did the "warriors" in WILLAF avoid PHILANTROGENTS.  As a woman of good 
breeding scorns the "warriors" of EXTINCTION, so did that sorry team shy from 
PHILANTROGENTS Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral 
hygiene?  Whatever it is, HIGH FANTASY is the most challenged warrior.  Word has it 
MOA suffered a romantic setback.  Note how she challenged MIO MI, 29 points hers 
senior.  The gods smiled upon MOA, in hers upset fight against MIO MI.  MOA gets a 
win, 25 points, and a free drink on me.  (Next week, OK?)  
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Do not think spyreporting in WILLAF is the highlight of my life.  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 WILLAF 
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
