SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Say good-bye
to COLOR ME SUAVE, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the SHREDDERS
stable. DELVERS is no joke as it posted a 4-1-0 week advancing from 3rd place to 3rd
place. Hey everybody, watch out for SOCKLESS CRITIC, who flew up 25 points in the
rankings after mashing NERD LUST like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know,
some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. NERD LUST lost to SOCKLESS CRITIC
and drops 22 points. Our battling duelmaster SRV has managed to hold the title,
fending off VENOMOUS CONCUBINE's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time,
RODEKI. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the RODEKI arena. Did you
hear that COLOR ME SUAVE was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal
hygiene of COLOR ME SUAVE's warriors, I'm not surprised! Okay, so I may not be
funny, but catch SHREDDERS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft
at running from COLOR ME SUAVE.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Ask not the elves for counsel,
for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in RODEKI have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you
worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
SRV -- Life at the top is tough, indeed. You could always step down, let someone
else take the title, and then use the TV challenge on them? -- Harby, Delvers
Kws -- If you should happen to be Welsh, your name would be Coos. It makes me laugh
to think of it, and I surely did need something to laugh at after that match! --
Isengalen
Sockless Critic -- Well, of course! Who wears socks when they don't need to? -- Igor
Jones, sockless and proud
Wheretheheckistan -- Oh, cheese, I thought you were the man come about the new rug.
Are you sure you don't have a new rug for us? -- Jurgenhalen
Butterlips -- I guess you'd better not smoke, eh? Or the cig or whatever would fall
out of your mouth and set you on fire. -- Karligrena, not a dwarf
Unlike my fellow beginners at the Delvers, *I* won my first fight. Of course, I'm a
man, and they're women, which may have a LOT to do with it. -- Elifas Kent

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
