SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon DWES EG, for
I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Nothing is certain in DWES EG, with changing
loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--WHY TRAVEL?.
Perhaps it is WHY TRAVEL? members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 20th
to 3rd last week... (Less time in the sun...) Rumor has it an incurable disease has
swept the stable of HOPEFULS. Note their drop in the rankings from 12th to 25th.
Watch out!!! Like a chunk of francium heaved into a wet pond, ERATTA1 blew up the
rankings to 20! LIGHT WEIGHTS had cause to celebrate, after BRILLIANT got 24 points
by beating YANG. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice
more, after losing 9 points to BRILLIANT. (Discrete enough, YANG?) NECROTICA found
out being DWES EG's Duelmaster isn't all nuts and berries, receiving 2 challenges!
The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as JOB faced DWES EG's Duelmaster.
Now I can't insult JOB, as he has gloriously dueled to the top. Oh great new
Duelmaster!!! (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) Word has it one team in DWES EG is
using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
So much to report, so little time! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of RESTRICTIONS, alone and unchallenged. As a
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of WHY TRAVEL?, so did that sorry team
shy from RESTRICTIONS
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. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an
overtaxed simile, I now bid DWES EG farewell-- Novgorodny Vir
