                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  FAR TRAVELERS?  Who?  2 BAD 4 U is the top team these days, buddies!  
Practice pays for BULLEIT, who pummelled LILI, to pocket 19 points.  A certain 
someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 19 points to 
BULLEIT.  (Discrete enough, LILI?) You could cut the tension with a scimitar as 
TRAFALGAR of HALLOWED GROUND met the Duelmaster.  Now I can't insult TRAFALGAR, as he 
has gloriously dueled to the top.  Oh great new Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I lay it 
on too thick) Word has it one team in WILLAF is using psychics to predict wins.  They 
lead a charmed life!   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in 2 BAD 4 U 
are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  The warriors of 2 
BAD 4 U found their efforts at combat frustrated as YAK-MOOSE PARTY apparently had 
more important things to do than fight.  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and 
PETE is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't 2 BAD 4 U proud!  Willing to 
win at any cost is DISTOPIAN FANTASY, who challenged MIO MI, 9 points junior.  Our 
sympathies, MIO MI!  I thought DISTOPIAN FANTASY showed great skill and promise when 
she beat MIO MI.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Never one to advocate 
diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see HALLOWED GROUND retaliate against 
EXTINCTION in bloodfeud!  Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate 
long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my 
control, I must take my leave of this place.  Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed 
simile, I now bid WILLAF farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
