SPY REPORT
Welcome BONSUR. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have
I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... What's with BALOR? He
actually beat TOOL SHED's ANNIE AWL, and walked away with 20 more points from the
fight. Major screwup at TOOL SHED. ANNIE AWL lost 15 points to BALOR. Some new
strategies, perhaps? Maybe ANNIE AWL will provide more easy wins... Har har har!
Did EILEEN wimp out, or just get lazy? Anyway, she's not Duelmaster anymore. I'm
sure BONSUR is excited about NIKKI NAILS, the new Duelmaster from TOOL SHED.
(remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Wouldn't it be nice to have
live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted
prisoners.
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, TOOL SHED! Management must be dealin', as the boys at DEMONS & DEVILS
ain't reelin'! TOOL SHED's mad! How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, ANNIE AWL! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt
you.
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!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
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. Remember--a good fighter needs both good
skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Skara Brae -- Glad you liked it. It's a new variant. Well, insofar as there can be
said to be any "standard" ones. Mostly it's what we can get that goes into the
kettle. But I thought the oranges added a special something or other. Vitamins,
probably. -- Dellea Dover
Margo -- You make me wonder about your church. -- Dellea Dover
Annie Awl -- Well... okay, I guess I *did* think of maybe getting my ears pierced.
But not those other places! -- Annalee
P.S. A buttock ring would be really inconvenient.
A Vicious Pirate indeed! THIS one should have been Condemned. Shark bait, if you
ask me. Not that we have sharks, but still, it's the principle. -- Pearl White
Woodchip Willa -- I don't know why we keep meeting like this. It isn't fun. --
Bellamore
Persistent Beggar -- Know, sir, that I offered you my *hand* and not a handout! --
Mona from Maui

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
