                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of ALJAFIR.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  WHEN EAGLES DARE?  
Who?  PERRY STRIKE FORCE is the top team these days, buddies!  Practice pays for 
MATTFELD, who pummelled RISE FROM RUIN, to pocket 15 points.  KATY certainly had a 
baffled expression on hers face, after losing to POMPEII and losing 13 points in the 
process!  You could cut the tension with a scimitar as OFFICE SPACE of TOP FIVE BOBS 
met the Duelmaster.  In ALJAFIR, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find 
ourselves a new Duelmaster, OFFICE SPACE.  Word has it one team in ALJAFIR is taking 
speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the lion, so 
did the "warriors" in ALJAFIR avoid THE SHOWOFFS.  As a woman of good breeding scorns 
the "warriors" of TOP FIVE BOBS, so did that sorry team shy from THE SHOWOFFS If 
challenges were horses, OFFICE SPACE could open up a fast food joint!   
     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 ALJAFIR is the highlight of my life.  As if 
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.  
ALJAFIR, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Vile 
Vizier.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir
