SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! PSYCHO SQUAD had cause to celebrate, after SWEET FREDDY got 19 points
by beating UNCLE SPANKY. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, SWEET FREDDY was
winsome, after beating UNCLE SPANKY and seeing him lose 7 points. FLASHER found out
that TRANSEL isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! So
who's the team that's been walking into taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds
like a PR stunt to me.
So much to report, so little time!
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! LORD TEV
GREENHEART in the Dark Arena wasn't enough for STEEL DEVIL of INK & STEEL FOREVER.
Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at The Sultan's Tent will be! Charity is unknown
in TRANSEL, and rightly so. PSYCHO SQUAD exacted their revenge against SOUL
STRIPPERS II. Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Do not think spyreporting in TRANSEL is the highlight of my life. More
important duties call me. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports
for TRANSEL? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Uncle Spanky -- I don't know if I could manage the "sweetness" my arena name
suggests, but... would it help? If so, I'll give it a try. If not, I'll
(mphyaygur*@&$#@)! -- Sweet Freddy, cnesored again
Hovercrab -- No way I'm going to leave you floating around overhead! Or at ankle
level, for that matter. I can just imagine a whole host of problems this could
cause. So, no way, Jose! -- Sufferin' Sappho
Owl -- That must be INCREDIBLY COOL. I mean, to fly, and to see in the dark, and all
that stuff. Well, except for, you know, eating mice and things. If eating mice is
required, I'll, like, pass on the whole thing. -- Totally Tilly
What? Was there a fight? I didn't notice. -- Dazey May
The Embezzling Scribe thought he could PUT SOMETHING OVER ON ME. Well, he won't
think that again. And if the arenamaster hadn't stepped in, what a softy!, that
Scribe wouldn't think ANYTHING again. -- Lizzy Broadaxe

KAIARI (6-5656) SOUL STRIPPERS II (237)
NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
The crowd was surprisingly orderly, but it was still a crowd, and the Commission
clerk, Algernon, looked at it uneasily. Whenever this many people came together to
petition for something, it meant trouble. For him, anyway. Records to be altered.
Altering records was Bad. It made Extra Work.
His assistant clerk leaned close and whispered, "If it weren't for gladiators, we
wouldn't have jobs. Smile at them and ask what they want."
Algernon closed his eyes briefly. Looking at this crowd made him dizzy. They
were all wearing black and white stripes. Like a herd of zebras, except that zebras
didn't carry swords. Then he took a deep breath and managed a smile. "What... ah,
what can I do for you?"
"We want new names," the first gladiator said. There was a number on the front
of his shirt: 0381. He thumped the number with his thumb. "This here isn't a
name--"
"We want REAL names!" That voice came from farther back in the crowd.
"Yeah! We've paid our dues," another shouted, "and we've EARNED real names!"
One from the very back yelled, "I want to be called Tom."
All the others turned to look at him.
Algernon couldn't see him, but apparently those looks were accusing. Well, he
could understand that, "Tom" was such a... common name.
"My mom called me Tom," the voice in the back protested. "It's a good name."
"It isn't the name you put on the petition," 0381 said. "We talked about this.
We got our manager's agreement. You get the name on the petition."
"But--!"
Algernon didn't really want to keep staring at all these stripes while they
argued. He picked up the petition. "These names are the ones you want?"
0381 turned back. "Yes."
"It's a lot of trouble, and when other people see that YOU are getting name
changes, THEY are going to want them--" Seeing the gladiators beginning to frown...
and finger their weapons, he went on quickly, "So I figure we might as well make it a
complete deal. A Name-Change-O-Rama. Everyone who wants a name change can petition
for it. Get it all over with at once." He glanced at the petition, shuddered
slightly, and passed it to his clerk. "We'll announce it, proclaim it, even, and you
will get the names on this petition. And others will get the names THEY think they
should have had, too." He paused. "And I think I'll get a new name, I'm tired of
being an Algernon...."

Warrior and team name changes will be accepted during the month of February. If
you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
