                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for TROCAR.  MVP award for LUTHIEN?  LEGIONS 
OF FATE's proud of him after beating POWERLESS AMP and getting 20 points.  Talk about 
yer big time losers!  POWERLESS AMP got smashed by LUTHIEN, and lost 14 points!  Like 
LEGIONS OF FATE's SYMGARA is sweating since he got challenged by Duelmaster YAHOO 
WAHOO!  Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair?  I think YAHOO WAHOO should 
let SYMGARA be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.  I hear the top 
team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want photogenic fighters 
for PR photos.   
     AAARRGH!!!  I HATE SPYREPORTING!!!  Sorry.  I just had to say it.  USELESS TOOLS 
was TROCAR's most avoided team.  Is there some award for that?  I don't know what 
LEGIONS OF FATE's been doing.  They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from 
USELESS TOOLS, that's fer sher.  Can BOOK OF THOMAS' RUSSIAN LULLABY be more popular 
than me?  He was challenged the most, but is that really the same?  I'm not so sure 
WINTROW knew all the facts when he challenged BIG CHILL of BOOK OF THOMAS.  I saw 
WINTROW stumbling and dribbling at The Swinging Aardvark last week...  BIG CHILL 
subdued WINTROW, and was I surprised (right!).  But its a good thing BIG CHILL could 
stop laughing long enough to give WINTROW a good pounding.  People were asking me did 
KORLAN REALLY challenge CHINA WHITE?  (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded 
good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but CHINA WHITE wants me to write 
about it since he lost to KORLAN.  Satisfied?   
     What does a fighter fight for?  I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone 
gets killed.  Not after four more fights.  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys 
can do?   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits.  Its been 
really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

From:       The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To:         All Managers

In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's 
cramp, the census form has been eliminated, effective immediately.  Managers may 
register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by simply writing them on a 
separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission.  Each warrior may have 
up to 15 favorite sayings.  Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch, 
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long.  For any questions, please contact the 
Gladiatorial Commission. 

                          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."

                        TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE

     As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance.  This 
option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn!

     Team Maintenance:  This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every 
     turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will 
     fight the turn they arrive.  In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have 
     multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance.  
     (The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had 
     their initial strategy input.)  

     Character Maintenance:  This will cause only that warrior to fight every 
     turn.  If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on 
     Character Maintenance.

     In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if 
you wish.  The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each 
turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy.
     Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not 
carry through from turn to turn.  These sections are only used on the turn they are 
entered.  In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a 
strategy sheet each time. 
     One other thing to remember about maintenance:  Maintenance is not something 
that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys).  In order to add or remove 
maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service.  If you 
just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done.  
Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads.  Please, please, please put it on a 
separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top.  If you don't, 
well, you can imagine.
     Thanks for your time.  Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes
