                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, Warriors of DAL SHANG.  Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to 
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport.  Win some, lose 
some.  Speaking of which, SERGEANT 7 was winsome, after beating MALACHITE and seeing 
him lose 19 points.  You could cut the tension with a scimitar as NOCALLLISTEXEMPTION 
of BASH BROS EVANGELIST met the Duelmaster.  What can be a greater victory?  
NOCALLLISTEXEMPTION has taken his place as the top, as DAL SHANG's new Duelmaster.  
So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? 
Someone's got a basic problem...   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Perhaps the warriors of TOLBIN'S GEMS should take 
up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  Like a pup with its tail 
between its legs, BASH BROS EVANGELIST scurried away from TOLBIN'S GEMS.  Oh, the 
shame!  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and GORBAN TEN SKORA is it right now. 
Most challenged warrior.  Isn't SAND DANCERS proud!  Call 'im brash!  Call 'im 
brassy!  Call 'im brave!  Call 'im sassy!  HEMATITE will face GORBAN TEN SKORA, up by 
27.  Aaaah, just call 'im dead meat.  GORBAN TEN SKORA had a quite go of it, putting 
HEMATITE in his place.  STAR RUBY challenged DRIVING A ROLLS!  Who says TOLBIN'S GEMS 
are just a bunch of wimps!  STAR RUBY of TOLBIN'S GEMS kept hers wits as she won 
victory over DRIVING A ROLLS.   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have 
fallen into an unconscious stupor.   
     Do not think spyreporting in DAL SHANG is the highlight of my life.  My fingers 
tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable 
character.  Do not despair!  I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Kaldan -- Well fought again.  Needless to say, I'm coming back for more.  They are
good fights and a victory against you this turn would mean immortality for me.
(Though probably also retirement.) -- No Call List Exemption

Fire Opal -- Ha.  I know how fights with you will go forever! -- Driving a Rolls

Driving a Rolls -- When you graduate, look me up.  I'm probably going to be up the
coast where some of my already-graduated teammates are developing a little enclave.
An inn, fishing, hunting, and occasional work chasing bandits as contract fighters
for the local magistrate.  They tell me it's a good life. -- Lorand

NoCallListExemption -- Hey, I'm not STUPID, you know.  I turned my phone OFF before
the fight. -- Kaldan ten Karan

Sergeant 8 -- I enjoyed that.  I never did care for sergeants. -- Gorban ten Skora

Sfc 3 -- Ah, you were hard up for another win, yes? -- An Yee

KnockingOnYourDoor -- Knocking, is that what you call it?  It looked to ME more like
you were beating the door down! -- Norben the Lesser

Ah!  A standby.  Good.  I like to begin with a win. -- Karanza

                                NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA

    There was a line outside the Gladiatorial Commission's registry office.  There 
often was, but surely not now?  Alarond the Scribe, who had drawn office duty today, 
frowned at them.
    A stocky, fit, moderately handsome gladiator stepped up to the counter.  "I want a 
name-change," he said.  "How can I do my best known as," he shuddered, "'Dangling 
Eyeball'?  My name is Joe, and I want to use it."
    A small and very shapely woman stepped up beside him.  "And I am really tired of 
being known as 'DA Bait'."  She smiled, causing Alarond to sway where he stood.  "I'd 
like to be known as... Aphrodite, I think."
    The others crowded forward, each advancing a claim, the babble of voice rising to 
a roar, the crowd beginning to look like a mob--and every member of it armed and 
dangerous.
    Alarond raised his hands to quiet them, without much success.  He raised his 
voice, too.  "We'll do it!  A Name-Change-O-Rama, as soon as we can get the paperwork 
lined up!  Two or three months, maybe--"
    The gladiators howled in protest at the delay.
    "No, listen!  The files here are HUGE, it will take time to get everything 
straight.  You've got to be patient.  It WILL happen!"
