SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in DULLENS! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... MVP award for CORKY?
BLACKTHORNE's proud of him after beating WOLFDOG and getting 27 points. Talk about
yer big time losers! WOLFDOG got smashed by CORKY, and lost 24 points! This
Duelmaster is like something else! ROBERT ROY stopped THONG OF FIRE dead in hers
tracks! Who was the wiseguy that said DULLENS' Duelmaster was paying for drinks at
The Yellow Dog Tavern? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? HOUSE OF CARDS was the most
avoided team. Is a 172-106-4 record really that scary? Hhmph! What kind of
warriors are HOUSE OF CARDS? HOUSE OF CARDS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one,
can't get them to accept an invitation!
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. It was kind of sad, seeing old THONG OF
FIRE stumbling around the arena, before ROBERT ROY finished her off. Oh well! I see
THONG OF FIRE got killed by ROBERT ROY of HOUSE OF CARDS. Now I want to see some
serious Bloodfeud action out there! What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?
I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. DULLENS is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

The following warriors have traveled to AD after fighting this turn:
ROBERT ROY (13-5354) HOUSE OF CARDS (561)
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...."
