SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly SNOWBOUND games. Warriors--remember that glory waits
always around the corner! Witness how this week STRANGE TUNES went 1-0-0 to move up
3 in the rankings. BABYLON FIRE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as she skillfully bested SLIPPERY GATER and was awarded 10 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, CACTUS JACK put down DEAD GODS
4SALE, causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Due to hers
absence and inability to defend the throne, INNUIT has lost the title of Duelmaster.
The city has turned out in honor of MARBLE MOUTH, for with his arena victory he may
now lay claim to the highest position in the city! Heed this! A seer has warned
that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just
remember...5 or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city SNOWBOUND. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. BOOK OF THOMAS is feared. This much I can say. Methinks
more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last
week avoiding BOOK OF THOMAS. Indeed it was MESOPOTAMIA. Mighty fighters cannot but
expect competition from those below. HAPPY take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in SNOWBOUND.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears
arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in SNOWBOUND. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can
I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no
one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
Algernon, who had NOT gotten the name change he'd asked for, looked at the latest
petitioner. This was a typical gladiator, big, muscular, and scarred, with a frown.
"Ah, what can I do for you?"
"Name change. I heard we can do that. I'm tired of being Jane Doe."
"I'd think you would be," Algernon said faintly. "The Commission has actually
been thinking about this. It isn't FREE, mind you! It takes money to run our office,
you know, and we want to buy some goats--"
"I don't care about goats!" He made a crude suggestion about goats.
"Gladiators, teams, it will cost you two dollars to make a change--"
"I had a talk with my manager. He'll find the money. I want to change my name
to Jane Ralph. I'm no doe!" He thumped a fist on the counter.
"Er, yes. Jane Ralph. Fill out this form, please." He pushed the paper across
the counter. "The changes start on the 15th of April--that's the Ides, you know, and
can be submitted through the end of May. With the payment. No change without the
goat, ah, the gold."
* * * * *
Warrior and team name changes will be accepted beginning April 15 and continuing
throughout the month of May. The cost will be $2 per name change. All proceeds will
be used to buy goats via Heifer International and will be matched up to $500.
If you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
