                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Nothing is certain in KATI-TEI, with changing 
loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--NAWLINS RU2.  
CONSTRUCTION after a sorry 0-0-0 might want to consider abandoning the sands and 
taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues!  Nothing works for a team like 
victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as FURIOUS FOOD can attest...  
Practice pays for PELICAN, who pummelled I DRANK WHAT?!, to pocket 14 points.  Win 
some, lose some.  Speaking of which, PELICAN was winsome, after beating I DRANK 
WHAT?! and seeing him lose 9 points.  Well, Duelmaster TWITTER BEEF Dark Arena 
Challenged DARK ARENA's BLACK ORC.  Is a 10-2-0 good enough?  BLACK ORC found out 
that KATI-TEI isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!  So 
who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  
Someone's got a basic problem...   
     And how sociable are KATI-TEI's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Perhaps the 
warriors of PHILANTHROPISTS should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided 
team...  As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of NAWLINS RU2, so did 
that sorry team shy from PHILANTHROPISTS  
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
BLACK ORC in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for TWITTER BEEF of FURIOUS FOOD.  Maybe 
that certain serving girl(?) at The Warty Toad will be!  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.  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond 
my control, I must take my leave of this place.  KATI-TEI, I leave you now.  The 
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Warty Toad.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny 
Vir
