After a period of "Cold War" (words have been exchanged but no real combat has been experienced, save some minor skirmishing), little has changed. Marx Brothers still call on -Surreal- to cease their annexing of Hogweed and return to their pre-war borders, a call which has been ignored.
Consequently, Marx Brothers have no alternative but to take coercive action. This we do with a heavy heart but it is necessary, nonetheless.
With effect from today (25th September, 2008) the Marx Brothers' supply route to -Surreal- of Twiglets has been closed. This is a big step, I accept, but it is a necessary and proportionate response to Powdersnow's cult and their insistence that he is the One True God (as he has told them to call him). This insistence is anathema to Marx Brothers! We will not tolerate Powdersnow's unilateral re-writing of the Power Soccer code to give his cult's players the advantage of playing their home games on pitches which slope downhill!
Of course, the United Nations' Snackurity Council have expressed their displeasure at this escalation of hostilities - the Swedes have been particularly vociferous here. Marx Brothers stand firm, however. We will not tolerate the cult of -Surreal- while it continues to annexe Hogweed against his will and call upon them to release him immediately, if not sooner.
Our spies tell us that the sanctions are beginning to bite already. Supplies of tangy Twiglets are at an all-time low and prices are beginning to rocket. We have taken further action by flooding -Surreal-lands with cheap, supermarket-own-brand "Twiggles" (note the different spelling - doesn't matter, none of -Surreal- can spell properly anyway). These Twiggles cause temporary insanity in those who eat them leading to delusions that the eater could "beat anyone, especially a Marx Brother". Of course, this is not true (any fool could tell you that) and one game should demonstrate this perfectly.
Beware of their bravado, however. After their loss, they will nag you for another game... and another and so on. Do not be fooled. Rather, you should pity them and politely decline, so sparing them from further humiliation.
So that you know the difference should you be sent to -Surreal-land, this is a Twiglet:~
... and this is a Twiggle:~
Of course, no-one in -Surreal- is any the wiser!

No more twiglets for them! Done! Luckily we have clear looking Clan brothers on board who notice what a hard way of "hurting them" could be.
While at first it might seem that adding "temporary insanity" on top of the already moderately insane nature over at Surreal might be a bit excessive, let us remember what we are all fighting for...
FREE HOGWEED!
I am considering to contact my MP to suggest that we close the bridge connecting Denmark and Sweden. This would result in another possible hole in the embargo. ;P
Free the hog!! Twiglets no more.
Ooooops. *This would result in CLOSING another hole in the embargo.
(Sorry for making a surreal posting mistake) ;P
