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. He who laughs last
didn't get the joke. Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe HORROR SHOW. Last week
they got 0-1-0 to drop by 4! Like a new team fighting for the first time and
entering the official rankings, MESOPOTAMIA got 4-1-0 to come in 4th. Practice pays
for KINGU, who pummelled EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, to pocket 20 points. GRIMBOLD certainly
had a baffled expression on his face, after losing to PETRA QUORD and losing 11
points in the process! ROXANNE DE'MORRE 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?
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Never one to advocate diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see MIDDLE WAY 6
retaliate against DRUID'S GROVE in bloodfeud! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for
he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor.
Leave me now, you base fools! Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat!
Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for SNOWBOUND? On that
giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Evalon Elkhorn -- How tedious for you. That must make monster headaches. -- Cass
Dolan
Grimbold -- Is it the boldness that makes you grim, or the grimness that makes you
bold? Either way, it's impressive. Let's avoid a repeat of this meeting. -- Irina
Jasse
Auaria -- Hey, not so fast, little lady! Give me a chance to hand out a compliment
or two. How else can you realize what a nice guy I am, after all? -- Gobert Hinny
Domjon -- I hate it when things like this happen. -- Ghost of Nilitir Orde
Pyropa -- I thought that was a stone, you know, a garnet or something? Though I will
admit that your hair is a beautiful, rich, garnet shade of red. Amazing by sunlight.
You should never wear a helm and conceal that glory. -- Holger Irsin
Whistlin' Dixie -- You're so MEAN! A horrible, cruel person, and the members of my
guild will be watching OUT for you. -- an unfortunately too-persistent and now-
deceased Beggar
Faustica -- Well, young lady, you messed up MY day. The Embezzling Scribe was
supposed to pay off his debt to me out of his winner's bonus. Notice where the
problem comes in? Right, he lost. This is YOUR fault. My men will be calling on
you tonight. -- Bors Pengurmon, manager of the Snow Palace Cafe, Casino, & Den of
Iniquity

10 July 2006
The Dark Knights sat at the Dark Table with grim faces. All present knew that there
could be no quarter. The Forces of Desolation would be unleashed. There would be no
turning back, no mercy and no hesitation to do what was necessary. Teeth gritted and
knuckles whitened with fury as the IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION was signed by each Dark
Knight.
AS OF JULY 1, 2006 -- WAR IS DECLARED ON THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS THE VENDETTA
CARTEL.
The Desolate Empire -- Dark Knights: Ancient Creep, Blackstorm, Dok Sik, Goat,
Heathen, Hatebred, Kon, Osiris, Toker, Wasby the Great
14 July 2006
In response to the Desolate Empire's declaration of war, the Vendetta Cartel offers
the following response:
The members of the Vendetta Cartel can be found in 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 22, 25, 28,
31, 39, 45, 47, 50, 52, 54, 59, 60, 100, and 106. Stop yapping in the all-arena ads,
pick an arena, issue a challenge, actually win something, and then maybe (and we
stress maybe) you may speak. You may come to our home arenas (8, 31, and 47) and
confront us, but we suggest you learn to win in your own "home" arena (52) first.
