SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of AMEN-TEI. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. The boys at
EXCLAMATION! left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by BRAIN
BOYZ. Good show! Practice pays for ACORN, who pummelled FAMILY TAXI, to pocket 19
points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after
losing 12 points to ACORN. (Discrete enough, FAMILY TAXI?) CEREBRUM successfully
staved off a grab for the roses by TOMAS KATT of WAYFARERS. Does AMEN-TEI have no
one talented enough to dethrone him? So who's the team that's been walking into
taverns last week and ordering milk? Sounds like a PR stunt to me.
So much to report, so little time! Perhaps the warriors of EXCLAMATION! should
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... As a woman of good
breeding scorns the "warriors" of NUTS!, so did that sorry team shy from EXCLAMATION!
Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and ALBERT HALL is it right now. Most
challenged warrior. Isn't WAYFARERS proud! My love of complete Spyreports dictates
that I note the mismatched fight, SPIFFY and ALBERT HALL. Are EXCLAMATION! unwilling
to engage in a fair fight? I thought SPIFFY showed great skill and promise when it
won victory over ALBERT HALL. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
The moving sword slashes, and having slashed, moves on... Oh hard! that to
strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my
control, I must take my leave of this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure of
writing Spyreports for AMEN-TEI? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Two-three, and I don't know what Mossy was thinking. Getting my tires rotated is
perfectly respectable. If I'd had my oil changed, it might have been different. All
those mechanics peering into my intimate places. Look at Mossy, losing to a naked
brain! Now, that's scandalous. Brains shouldn't be exposed like that, and Mossy
shouldn't be consorting with one and giving tacit approval. -- Family Taxi

JASPER GULCH: DM 85
Zeb Karan around the big table. Arena staff of all ranks and titles sat and
stared at each other: arenamasters, standbys, Dark Arena warriors, stewards and
infirmarians, even the maintenance crew. This was not the first time they'd met like
this, and it probably wouldn't be the last.
"So this is it again, is it?" Lew Voth asked. "Less than seven years since they
closed Dwes Eg to new teams, and now they're closing Blackstone?"
"Only to new teams," one of the spymasters pointed out. "And it's necessary.
There are several file rooms we haven't been able to enter in months because they're
too full of team records."
"Nothing you couldn't fix with a lighted match," Jame Rinvar suggested.
Technically he should not have been there, since he'd taken over full time as the
arenamaster of Shadowspire. But no one wanted to tell him to leave.
"We may NEED those records one of these days," Chief Steward Hesselrod protested.
"We can't burn RECORDS."
"I could," Rinvar said.
"But you won't." Voth pinned him with a stare. "Don't stir up trouble for its
own sake, Jame."
Rinvar raised his hand in a gesture of surrender. "I'll be good, Lew."
"When are they shutting down Blackstone?"
"To new teams only, remember--the old ones will keep fighting if their managers
want to pay the fees. This week. Maybe next week. Hard to be sure, when you travel
from Alastari to anywhere else, there's a time distortion effect. But probably this
week. Same operating rules as Dwes Eg (82): no new teams in, but the old ones can
recruit new members. New teams will go to the new place--" Zeb Karan cast a look of
enquiry around the room.
"Jasper Gulch," a steward said.
"Right. New teams will go to Jasper Gulch. I'm not sure the day for it, probably
'opposite' Blackstone in the schedule. A regular two-week cycle. Teams can be
transfered in from regular arenas, I suppose, but not OUT."
Voth nodded. "We can work with this."
"Beats not working."
