                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon SNOWBOUND, for 
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Nothing is certain in SNOWBOUND, with changing 
loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--BOOK OF THOMAS.  
Practice pays for GEISTLICH, who pummelled OLIVER QUEEN, to pocket 23 points.  A 
certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 15 
points to CRESCENDO.  (Discrete enough, HELGA ICELAND?) Well, AZOR AHAI didn't become 
Duelmaster by initiating social reforms, and as INNUIT killed him, she becomes 
SNOWBOUND's new Duelmaster.  Careful!  Word has it one team in SNOWBOUND is taking 
speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     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 BOOK OF 
THOMAS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  As a woman of 
good breeding scorns the "warriors" of GOT BLOOD?, so did that sorry team shy from 
BOOK OF THOMAS  
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling 
may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character.  Like a mixed metaphor, and 
an overtaxed simile, I now bid SNOWBOUND farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
