                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  Hey everybody, watch out for HARMLET, who flew 
up 7 points in the rankings after mashing GAMMA TRIANGULI like a melon.  Keep your 
eye on this guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was INAUDIBLE, who dropped 
23 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with AMBITIOUS GUARD.  It's a 
proud day for the TRIANGULUM stable, as their warrior, DELTA TRIANGULI, ascended the 
Duelmaster's throne.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this 
stuff?   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Remember:  alliances are great, 
but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks.  Its been 
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

                          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."
