SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon SNOWBOUND, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! LIFE IMPACTS? Who? MESOPOTAMIA is the top team
these days, buddies! Say what you will about blind luck and dirty fighting, but
PUBLIC ENEMY will tell you 146-129-4 is nothing to laugh at... MESOPOTAMIA had cause
to celebrate, after KINGU got 24 points by beating HAIRY MONSTER. A certain someone
should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 13 points to KINGU.
(Discrete enough, HAIRY MONSTER?) Can you believe it? THE BEATLES apparently has
better things to do as SNOWBOUND's Duelmaster than show up and fight! Now I can't
insult QUALITY, as it has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new Duelmaster!!!
(Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who's the team that's been walking into taverns
last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of MESOPOTAMIA, alone and unchallenged. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, OPEN SESAME scurried away from MESOPOTAMIA. Oh,
the shame! Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and NEFARA is it right now. Most
challenged warrior. Isn't PUBLIC ENEMY proud! CIRCLE K challenged NEFARA! Who says
LIFE IMPACTS are just a bunch of wimps! CIRCLE K of LIFE IMPACTS kept its wits as it
was bested by NEFARA.
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not for whom the
sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Do not think spyreporting in SNOWBOUND is the highlight of my life. My fingers
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable
character. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for SNOWBOUND?
On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
