SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! IS THAT A CLUE?? Who? THE FAMILY is the top team these days, buddies!
Practice pays for BAIBAR, who pummelled JONAS SWITCHBLADE, to pocket 32 points. A
certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 5
points to A BAD LIE. (Discrete enough, ALVERNON STRONGAXE?) JEREMIAH BROADBLADE
successfully staved off a grab for the roses by KIRVINJ of THE FAMILY. Does VEASTIAN
have no one talented enough to dethrone him? Word has it one team in VEASTIAN is
taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
And how sociable are VEASTIAN's warriors? Come, let us see.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! The audience
gave a nice round of rasberries to JONAS SWITCHBLADE of WARRIORS OF STEEL, for
expiring in such an ungraceful fashion. 16-24-2, indeed! He who lives by the sword
(or maul)... Witness JONAS SWITCHBLADE of WARRIORS OF STEEL, felled by BAIBAR of THE
FAMILY. Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the
arena. A certain tavern in VEASTIAN would I avoid!
All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond
my control, I must take my leave of this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an
overtaxed simile, I now bid VEASTIAN farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

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...."
