SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ARADI games. Former top team UNNAMEABLES was unseated
this week as MYTHICAL KNIGHTS moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top spot with a
3-2-1 record for the round. SIR YVAIN caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested WARFOUR and was awarded 18 points in recognition.
Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to KUNG-FU MASTER, and SIR BORS has
made the way for a new Duelmaster! With SIR BORS clearing the throne, MYTHICAL
KNIGHTS of SIR YVAIN takes a proud seat as ARADI's new Duelmaster, by virtue of
recognition points. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has
gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. ARADI, city of gladiators! Mighty
among the names of thy guilds is UNNAMEABLES, a guild shunned and avoided by many in
the weekly duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that
spent the better part of last week avoiding UNNAMEABLES. Indeed it was MYTHICAL
KNIGHTS.
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! I have seen warriors die in youth. I have seen
men cut down in their prime. This week UNNAMEABLES must mourn the loss of 7-4-0
WARFOUR to MYTHICAL KNIGHTS. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable
with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ARADI. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I keep,
indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await
me! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a
different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

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...."
