SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for DAL SHANG. Like, SAND DANCERS had to be
so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by BASH BROS EVANGELIST! Way to go
BASH BROS EVANGELIST! MVP award for IN YOUR FACE? BASH BROS EVANGELIST's proud of
him after beating KORDAL T'ROHN and getting 18 points. Talk about yer major upsets!
SLIM JIM's match with NORMAR THE BLOND cost him a loss of 8 points! Don't you think
the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think KOLACTAN KABOB should let SWEET ANELLA be
Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. I hear the top team insists all
their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. BASH BROS EVANGELIST was the most avoided team. Is a 31-7-2 record
really that scary? Is there some deep dark secret why SHEWISH BUFFET's been avoiding
BASH BROS EVANGELIST so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Like, is GARNO
TEN KORO popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of DAL SHANG! He's got
a 19-41-0, is that good? ON THE CORNER is being unfair. He's challenged down 37
against MARAN TEN PALAN. I don't know why they let this stuff go on. (I'd better
shut up) I was sorry to see such an unfair "fight" in DAL SHANG. ON THE CORNER got 3
points after beating MARAN TEN PALAN, 37 points below him.
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Hey you guys, don't you think your
families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. DAL SHANG is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!
Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Kolactan Kabob -- You appear to be very unrepentant of your ways. Do you know the
destruction that awaits you in the afterlife? -- In Your Face
Garno -- You keep coming my way? Is it that this is the best route for you or are
you coming back for more of the message? -- On the Corner
Maran Ten Palan -- If you turn to God, he will bless you as he has me! -- Driving a
Rolls
Driving a Rolls -- No, I don't realize it. Don't want to, either. -- Maran ten Palan
In Your Face -- Best for what, though? Nobody ever says. -- Kordal t'Rohn
On the Corner -- Huh, that's what I get for yanking you back out of the traffic, is
it? See if I ever do it again! -- Garno ten Koro
Driving a Rolls -- The trouble with those big, fancy carriages is that they exhaust
your horses. You probably have to change 'em out ever five miles! -- Maran ten Palan
A couple of standbys eat sand! Good, it'll give 'em gravel for their gizzards or
something. -- Kordal t'Rohn and Kurlo ten Doshan
Slim Jim -- Shouldn't you be taller? -- Lorand ten Sorn

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
The crowd was surprisingly orderly, but it was still a crowd, and the Commission
clerk, Algernon, looked at it uneasily. Whenever this many people came together to
petition for something, it meant trouble. For him, anyway. Records to be altered.
Altering records was Bad. It made Extra Work.
His assistant clerk leaned close and whispered, "If it weren't for gladiators, we
wouldn't have jobs. Smile at them and ask what they want."
Algernon closed his eyes briefly. Looking at this crowd made him dizzy. They
were all wearing black and white stripes. Like a herd of zebras, except that zebras
didn't carry swords. Then he took a deep breath and managed a smile. "What... ah,
what can I do for you?"
"We want new names," the first gladiator said. There was a number on the front
of his shirt: 0381. He thumped the number with his thumb. "This here isn't a
name--"
"We want REAL names!" That voice came from farther back in the crowd.
"Yeah! We've paid our dues," another shouted, "and we've EARNED real names!"
One from the very back yelled, "I want to be called Tom."
All the others turned to look at him.
Algernon couldn't see him, but apparently those looks were accusing. Well, he
could understand that, "Tom" was such a... common name.
"My mom called me Tom," the voice in the back protested. "It's a good name."
"It isn't the name you put on the petition," 0381 said. "We talked about this.
We got our manager's agreement. You get the name on the petition."
"But--!"
Algernon didn't really want to keep staring at all these stripes while they
argued. He picked up the petition. "These names are the ones you want?"
0381 turned back. "Yes."
"It's a lot of trouble, and when other people see that YOU are getting name
changes, THEY are going to want them--" Seeing the gladiators beginning to frown...
and finger their weapons, he went on quickly, "So I figure we might as well make it a
complete deal. A Name-Change-O-Rama. Everyone who wants a name change can petition
for it. Get it all over with at once." He glanced at the petition, shuddered
slightly, and passed it to his clerk. "We'll announce it, proclaim it, even, and you
will get the names on this petition. And others will get the names THEY think they
should have had, too." He paused. "And I think I'll get a new name, I'm tired of
being an Algernon...."
