SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of SNOWBOUND. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. I doubt many are
quaking in their boots, but 5280 HIGH comes out of nowhere to get 4-1-0. What does
the future hold? Watch this space... 5280 HIGH had cause to celebrate, after
SHISHKA BLUES got 20 points by beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE. MRS. SPARKLENOSE certainly
had a baffled expression on hers face, after losing to KHALHUMS DWARF and losing 17
points in the process! You could cut the tension with a scimitar as FLOYD COUNCIL of
THE BLUES 50 met the Duelmaster. FLOYD COUNCIL found out that SNOWBOUND isn't a
democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! Word has it one team in
SNOWBOUND 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? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in 232
BOURBON ST are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, OPEN SESAME scurried away from 232 BOURBON ST.
Oh, the shame! If challenges were horses, PERRY REESE could open up a fast food
joint! My love of complete Spyreports dictates that I note the mismatched fight,
EDDIE MAPP and FUGUE. Are THE BLUES 50 unwilling to engage in a fair fight? I
thought EDDIE MAPP showed great skill and promise when he subdued FUGUE. All right,
so I slept through it! Big deal!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not for whom the
sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. Like a
mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid SNOWBOUND farewell-- Novgorodny
Vir
