                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of KOLACT.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give 
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  MINNY24R had cause to 
celebrate, after JET NEUTRALITY got 15 points by beating BIG ROCK.  Win some, lose 
some.  Speaking of which, COG was winsome, after beating DYNOMYTE and seeing him lose 
12 points.  Now I can't insult BAMBINO, as he has gloriously dueled to the top.  Oh 
great new Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who was the warrior 
seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic 
problem...   
     And how sociable are KOLACT's warriors?  Come, let us see.  Is it charming 
personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, BIG ROCK 
is the most challenged warrior.   
     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.   
     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.  Can anything compare to the pleasure 
of writing Spyreports for KOLACT?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny 
Vir
