SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! BODY BY OTTO, in a display of the humbleness and generosity for which
they are known throughout BLACKSTONE, missed the turn to give up Top Spot! Managers
were muttering after BODY BY OTTO showed BLACKSTONE what they could do: 5-0-0 to
move up by 33. Perhaps it is FH12 members' intannibility that enabled them to move
from 15th to 3rd last week... (Less time in the sun...) Like a chunk of francium
heaved into a wet pond, HOME BREWS blew up the rankings to 21! Perhaps it is NOT
THAT LANE! members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 32nd to 11th last
week... (Less time in the sun...) Managers were muttering after XCOM OPS showed
BLACKSTONE what they could do: 1-0-0 to move up by 14. Perhaps it is REIGN 2
members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 47th to 29th last week...
(Less time in the sun...) Thinking about sending their team manager to the Dark Arena
is UNGENTLE BENS, after suffering a 21 drop in ranking. Like a chunk of francium
heaved into a wet pond, REIGN blew up the rankings to 11! 071808O had cause to
celebrate, after GUM FIN got 101 points by beating TIME. Win some, lose some.
Speaking of which, TAP was winsome, after beating GUILTY CONSCIENCE and seeing it
lose 8 points. Duelmaster THE REAL DEAL from FH12 is going for the gold, as it Dark
Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's STONE GOLEM. Ooh, the excitement! STONE GOLEM found
out that BLACKSTONE isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster
here! Word has it one team in BLACKSTONE is taking speech lessons to try to bore
their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
So much to report, so little time!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! STONE GOLEM in
the Dark Arena wasn't enough for THE REAL DEAL of FH12. Maybe that certain serving
girl(?) at The Swinging Aardvark will be! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it
slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for BLACKSTONE? On
that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir
