Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for HOUSE RUTH BUILT, who flew up 13 points in the rankings after mashing EPSILON EQUULEI like a melon. Keep your eye on this beast. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. ULYSSES COLLINS was overcame by BIG BIKER and drops 2 points. Well, everybody's pal STICKER FORCE moved his record to 39-10-0 by defeating THE BIG 'OH' in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 12 recognition points. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the VALAMANTIS arena. Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh? 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 fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME STICKER FORCE 4943 39 10 0 143 STRIKER FORCE (19) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME STRIKER FARCE 4946 37 9 2 124 STRIKER FORCE (19) THE BIG 'OH' 3734 11 5 0 105 DIAMONDS IN THE RUFF (386) BIG BIKER 4975 22 9 0 91 STRIKER FORCE (19) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ULYSSES COLLINS 5011 7 6 1 63 THIRSTY TENNYSON (493) STRUCK 5002 8 4 1 62 STRIKER FORCE (19) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ON STRIKE 4976 14 8 1 55 STRIKER FORCE (19) BETA EQUULEI 5003 3 1 0 34 EQUULEUS (492) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THREE RIVERS 4295 3 0 0 28 DIAMONDS IN THE RUFF (386) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GAMMA EQUULEI 5005 1 1 0 18 EQUULEUS (492) DELTA EQUULEI 5007 3 1 0 17 EQUULEUS (492) CANDLESTICK 4714 0 2 0 14 DIAMONDS IN THE RUFF (386) HOUSE RUTH BUILT 4711 0 1 0 13 DIAMONDS IN THE RUFF (386) EPSILON EQUULEI 5020 1 0 0 11 EQUULEUS (492) POLO GROUNDS 5022 0 1 0 11 DIAMONDS IN THE RUFF (386) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

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."
