                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome AMEN-TEI.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with EGADS?  It 
actually beat AMEN-TEI's KHALHUMS DWARF, and walked away with 18 more points from the 
fight.  Major screwup at EXCLAMATION!.  NOT A CHANCE lost 7 points to KHALHUMS DWARF. 
Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe NOT A CHANCE will provide more easy wins...  I'm 
sure AMEN-TEI is excited about EGADS, the new Duelmaster from EXCLAMATION!.  
(remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  Wouldn't it be nice to have 
live subjects to practice on?  I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted 
prisoners.   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  The 
most avoided team was WHY KNOT.  The bums at EXCLAMATION! couldn't face the 
challenges from WHY KNOT!  No excuse for that!   
     Warriors of AMEN-TEI unite.  You have only your games to lose!  And this week 
the Duelmaster--whoops!  TRILLIUM has one week left to avenge BROKEN ANGEL's death by 
excessive hits on the part of YAY of EXCLAMATION!.  Is it my imagination, or are 
fighters getting younger every day?  To die so young, so gloriously!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
The end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  I don't want 
to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

                          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."
