                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon ARADI, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Nothing is certain in ARADI, with changing loyalties, 
changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--TINFOIL MAFIA.  Good things 
come to those who fight well, as TINFOIL MAFIA can attest, moving up by 1.  Practice 
pays for WETWORK ZERO, who pummelled BAG O' ICE, to pocket 13 points.  Win some, lose 
some.  Speaking of which, WETWORK ZERO was winsome, after beating BAG O' ICE and 
seeing her lose 7 points.  Duelmaster ATALAN from PHILANTHROPISTS is going for the 
gold, as he challenged WRATHMEN 23-40's SECRET RETRIBUTION.  Ooh, the excitement!  
SECRET RETRIBUTION found out that ARADI isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best 
to be Duelmaster here!  So who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week 
and ordering milk?  Sounds like a PR stunt to me.   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys 
in TINFOIL MAFIA are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, OK, WE'RE HERE scurried away from TINFOIL 
MAFIA.  Oh, the shame!  Is it charming personality?  Conversational abilities?  Good 
oral hygiene?  Whatever it is, SECRET RETRIBUTION is the most challenged warrior.   
     The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on...  Oh hard!  that to 
strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Do not think spyreporting in ARADI is the highlight of my life.  As if buffeted 
by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.  Do not 
despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir
