                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of MORYA.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to give 
you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Practice pays for 
REPLACEMENT KNEE, who pummelled MARY CHRISMESS, to pocket 19 points.  Win some, lose 
some.  Speaking of which, REPLACEMENT KNEE was winsome, after beating MARY CHRISMESS 
and seeing her lose 16 points.  What can be a greater victory?  DALE AUTRY has taken 
his place as the top, as MORYA's new Duelmaster.  Word has it one team in MORYA is 
taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death.  I'll bet it works.   
     So much to report, so little time!  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from the 
lion, so did the "warriors" in MORYA avoid OTTO'S MECHANICS.  As a woman of good 
breeding scorns the "warriors" of BASH BROS BODY, so did that sorry team shy from 
OTTO'S MECHANICS Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and STURDEVANT is it right 
now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't DODGE BULLETS proud!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  My fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling 
may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character.  MORYA, I leave you now.  
The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at Salty's Chowder House.  'Til next time-- 
Novgorodny Vir

  This is just a reminder to all who plan to enter the contest in Seam that it is a

no-tourney arena, and is therefore subject to the no-tourney rules.  The pledge all 
participants must take when entering a team in this arena is as follows:

   ********************************************************************************

                               NO-TOURNEY ARENA PLEDGE

    * I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a tournament, nor 
      will I use a tournament prize on a warrior from this team.
    * I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena.  If circumstances 
      preclude my running less than a full team, I will notify the Player Committee.
    * I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.
    * I understand that any warrior that participates in a tournament or receives 
      a tournament prize shall be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead.

   ********************************************************************************

Please send your agreement with your new team. 

Best of luck in the arena and in the contest!

      The gladiators looked around at the Commission's administrative office on the 
Isle of the Eye.  They'd been here before.  The standard boxy building, the scurrying 
clerks, the... goats browsing on the landscaping.  Not as many goats this time as 
before, only three.  One came over to Zeke (not his arena name) and nuzzled his 
pockets.  He scratched at the base of its floppy ears, lacking a snack to offer.  He 
looked at one of the clerks.  "I thought you got rid of the goats last year," Zeke 
said.
      "These are new goats," the clerk said with a sigh.  "They're going to be shipped 
out next week."  He looked hopeful.  "They like you, could you stay until then?"
      Zeke sighed.  Minding three goats sounded more enjoyable than fighting in the 
arena.  "I'd have to ask my manager."  

                                       * * * * 

      Snatching his parchment away from a very determined goat, who apparently thought 
it was a tasty snack, Rodney quickly dipped his pen in ink and began to write.  "It is 
our pleasure and honor to note that sixty-seven 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 three 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 their new owners."
