                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail MORYA!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as BASH BROS BODY is pushed 
out of top team by PLANETS, who came from 2nd with a 4-1-0 this turn.  OTTO'S 
MECHANICS stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 3 space move up the rankings.  
This brings them up to 3rd place.  Good work, guys!  The PLANETS guild has had a 
4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know where this kind 
of thing can lead.  And let's see, AXLE FOLEY fought OLIVE OIL and gained 12 points 
and contributed to OTTO'S MECHANICS' 4-1-0.  BEL has lost to CAROUSEL, falling 10 
points, while helping make PLANETS a 4-1-0 turn.  Due to his absence and inability to 
defend the throne, RECEDING HAIR LINE has lost the title of Duelmaster.  And not 
without some honor, URANUS now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of MORYA.  
Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that Salty's 
Chowder House uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  BIG LAKE PURE has cause to stand tall, as they were MORYA's 
most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And guess who 
avoided BIG LAKE PURE stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was OTTO'S MECHANICS.  
Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that ULU from PLANETS was MORYA's 
most challenged warrior this turn.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Is it really true that MORYA has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the 
sweetest.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords 
sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in MORYA again, farewell-- 
Alarond the Scribe

WORN OUT (28-5606) BASH BROS BODY (541)

                          Name Change-o-Rama -- Final Update

     Algernon looked at the goats and sighed.  No doubt it was a Good Deed to give 
goats to people who wanted them.  But why did the goats have to be gathered in HIS 
office?  Four of them, and they were a lot like gladiators:  not smelly maybe, they 
were clean goats, but pushy and sure they were the most important thing around.  Maybe 
they should be enrolled in the arena?  No, there were only four, not enough for a 
team.
     He shook his head to clear it of the image of armored goats with sharpened horns.  
One thing at a time.  He pulled a piece of paper out of his desk drawer, dipped his 
pen in the ink, and began to write.

     "It is our pleasure and honor to note that ninety-eight gladiators and teams have 
elected to change their names, supporting the contribution of goats to deserving 
people.  With the Commission's matching funds, this has purchased four goats--a good 
goat can't be purchased for a copper, you know.  The goats are already en route to 
their new homes, where they will be--"  He paused and thought about it.  "--very 
welcome.  We wish all the best to the goats and the new goat-owners."
