                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Managers were muttering after SWORD HEROES 6 showed ERINIKA what they 
could do:  1-0-0 to move up by 20.  Perhaps it is LUDUS MAGNUS XIX members' 
intannibility that enabled them to move from 23rd to 3rd last week...  (Less time in 
the sun...) Like a chunk of francium heaved into a wet pond, DYNASTY WARIORS III blew 
up the rankings to 17!  Rumor has it an incurable disease has swept the stable of 
JUDGEMENT 7.  Note their drop in the rankings from 5th to 19th.  Watch out!!!  
Managers were muttering after JUDGEMENT 1 showed ERINIKA what they could do:  1-0-0 
to move up by 19.  The boys at SWORD HEROES 8 aren't the happy-go-lucky bunch we all 
know and love, after suffering a 18 drop last week.  Thinking about sending their 
team manager to the Dark Arena is MYTHOS 14, after suffering a 18 drop in ranking.  
The boys at SWORD HEROES 7 aren't the happy-go-lucky bunch we all know and love, 
after suffering a 25 drop last week.  DYNASTY WARIORS III had cause to celebrate, 
after SUN SHANGXIANG got 19 points by beating VETERAN MERCENARY.  Win some, lose 
some.  Speaking of which, KUNG-FU MASTER was winsome, after beating LYVELLE and 
seeing her lose 23 points.  OENOMAUS successfully staved off a grab for the roses by 
POLARIS AUSTRALIS of OCTANS.  Does ERINIKA have no one talented enough to dethrone 
him?  So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead 
trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     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 LIFE AND DEATH should 
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  As a woman of good 
breeding scorns the "warriors" of BILLIONS, so did that sorry team shy from LIFE AND 
DEATH  
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  
Congratulations, AMBITIOUS GUARD.  The manager of SWORD HEROES 7 should have sent 
ZEEKERS to the Dark Arena for having a 9-6-0 long ago.  Questions are being raised 
about the disposing of severed body parts in the arena.  A certain tavern in ERINIKA 
would I avoid!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  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
