                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon JURINE, for I, 
Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  What's a move up by 3 you ask?  (alright, maybe you 
didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, according to CLAN GHOST BEARS.  TIMMID found out 
that JURINE isn't a democracy.  You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here!  Word 
has it one team in JURINE is taking speech lessons to try to bore their opponent to 
death.  I'll bet it works.   
     And how sociable are JURINE's warriors?  Come, let us see.  To quell some nasty 
rumors, the guys in HOWLIN 3-D are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to 
avoid 'em.  The warriors of HOWLIN 3-D found their efforts at combat frustrated as 
CLAN GHOST BEARS apparently had more important things to do than fight.  Everyone is 
famous for fifteen minutes, and MAJOR FLAVOR is it right now.  Most challenged 
warrior.  Isn't HOWLIN 3-D proud!  Place your bets!  FLO is the long shot of the 
week:  they challenged OUTTA BOUNDS, up by 27.  Like a mother cat batting her overly 
rambunctious kitten into submission, OUTTA BOUNDS quashed FLO.  But FLO, if at first 
you don't succeed...  MAJOR FLAVOR found himself challenged by a warrior 20 below:  
CLOUDY JURINE.  CLOUDY JURINE of JURINE TROUBLE! kept hers wits as she bested MAJOR 
FLAVOR.   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Oh hard!  that 
to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     All good things must come to an end.  My fingers tire and I fear my incessant 
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character.  Can anything 
compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for JURINE?  On that giddy note I take 
my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

                          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."
