SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! TROLLHEIM posted a nice gain, to come in 2nd. Everybody loves a
winner... Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, NAOS was winsome, after beating
FEVERED and seeing him lose 7 points. INBOX ZERO found out being XOCHITHLAN's
Duelmaster isn't all nuts and berries, receiving 2 challenges! The arena was more
crowded than usual this time, as EXPENSES faced XOCHITHLAN's Duelmaster. INBOX ZERO
successfully staved off a grab for the roses by EXPENSES of BASH BROS BABY. Does
XOCHITHLAN have no one talented enough to dethrone it? So who was the warrior seen
charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic
problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Perhaps the warriors of BOOK OF THOMAS should
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... Like a pup with its tail
between its legs, TROLLHEIM scurried away from BOOK OF THOMAS. Oh, the shame!
Willing to win at any cost is CHUCKLEBUMM, who challenged CRYING, 10 points junior.
Our sympathies, CRYING! I thought CHUCKLEBUMM showed great skill and promise when
she won victory over CRYING. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Ask not a spymaster
for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious
stupor.
All good things must come to an end. Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards
fat! Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid XOCHITHLAN farewell--
Novgorodny Vir
