SPY REPORT
Welcome DAYLA KIV. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with KOGAN
DJIAN? He actually beat I HATE TOURNEYS' $7.00, and walked away with 21 more points
from the fight. Laughs were big at SAND DANCERS while they watched KOGAN DJIAN
clobber $7.00. It lost 19 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the
stands. I'm sure DAYLA KIV is excited about HOGSHEAD, the new Duelmaster from
COUNTRY PIE. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Advice to
fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was TOLBINS LADIES. Management must be dealin', as the boys at I
HATE TOURNEYS ain't reelin'! TOLBINS LADIES' mad! How well I know the feeling of
being the most challenged warrior, GREELO DUFFUS! Don't make idle boasts, they may
come back to haunt you. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of
fights that TAX MAIL-IN gets in. It fights people like SASHA, 13 points below. I
thought TAX MAIL-IN showed great skill and promise when it subdued SASHA. All right,
so I slept through it! Big deal!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You
young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? Are
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it
before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Well, I know I *said* the team would cope, but... another two-three, and one of the
wins was mine, and I'm *leaving*, so... they'd better get their collective act
together toot sweet. -- Goran Djian
P.S. Me, I'm going to retire to a nice little piece of woodland southeast of the
city. I've heard it's haunted, but I can share with a ghost or two.

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
There was a line outside the Gladiatorial Commission's registry office. There
often was, but surely not now? Alarond the Scribe, who had drawn office duty today,
frowned at them.
A stocky, fit, moderately handsome gladiator stepped up to the counter. "I want a
name-change," he said. "How can I do my best known as," he shuddered, "'Dangling
Eyeball'? My name is Joe, and I want to use it."
A small and very shapely woman stepped up beside him. "And I am really tired of
being known as 'DA Bait'." She smiled, causing Alarond to sway where he stood. "I'd
like to be known as... Aphrodite, I think."
The others crowded forward, each advancing a claim, the babble of voice rising to
a roar, the crowd beginning to look like a mob--and every member of it armed and
dangerous.
Alarond raised his hands to quiet them, without much success. He raised his
voice, too. "We'll do it! A Name-Change-O-Rama, as soon as we can get the paperwork
lined up! Two or three months, maybe--"
The gladiators howled in protest at the delay.
"No, listen! The files here are HUGE, it will take time to get everything
straight. You've got to be patient. It WILL happen!"
