                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  NEON JOCKS had cause to celebrate, after STAR 
PITCHER got 23 points by beating FOXY.  FOXY certainly had a baffled expression on 
his face, after losing to STAR PITCHER and losing 12 points in the process!  ESTUPIDO 
found out that MALCORN isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster 
here!  Word has it one team in MALCORN 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?  Perhaps the warriors of EGGS & CHORIZO should 
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  Like a pup with its tail 
between its legs, EGGS & CHORIZO scurried away from EGGS & CHORIZO.  Oh, the shame!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  MOUNTAIN TROLL in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for BENCHWARMER of NEON JOCKS.  
Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at The Victory Tavern will be!  Those who owe DA1 
of SCUM & VILLAINY money and had written him off, take note:  he'S BACK FROM THE DARK 
ARENA!!!  AND he'S MAD!!!  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.  Can anything compare to the pleasure 
of writing Spyreports for MALCORN?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny 
Vir
