                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon XOCHITHLAN, 
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  Practice pays for DIAMOND DUST, who pummelled 
DUCK DYNASTY, to pocket 24 points.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking of which, DIAMOND 
DUST was winsome, after beating DUCK DYNASTY and seeing it lose 17 points.  Those who 
hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by DOESN'T SLEEP, of BASH BROS BABY, who 
despite a 16-9-0 couldn't overcome XOCHITHLAN's Number 1.  So who was the warrior 
seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic 
problem...   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys 
in BOOK OF THOMAS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  
The warriors of BOOK OF THOMAS found their efforts at combat frustrated as BASH BROS 
BABY apparently had more important things to do than fight.  Everyone is famous for 
fifteen minutes, and FERNANDO is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't WORLD 
BLADES 8 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.   
     Do not think spyreporting in XOCHITHLAN is the highlight of my life.  As if 
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.  
XOCHITHLAN, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Warty 
Toad.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

                          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."
