SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of DAL
SHANG brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see TELL CITY win a fight and gain 22 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, TELL
CITY beat MOFFIT and MOFFIT lost 13 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if
variety is the spice of life, DAL SHANG may be getting bland, as NAVARONE stays top
dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this?
You want to know what's new, don't you, DAL SHANG?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. We're all going to die in the end, so why
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
There's got to be a better place in DAL SHANG to get a drink than The Blazing
Unicorn! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so
nice! So nyaaah! Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

Four-one, with the loss being to a managed gladiator. This is one reason why fighting
standbys is good. -- Chaego ten Selah
Plus, we have the tourney results, and we salute the participants, with a special wave
for the tourney victors, Sasha in AD and Vessemir in Champions. Way to go. -- Chaego
and the rest of the Sand Dancers
P.S. We have no idea where Jorja is at the moment. Someone mentioned "snowed in,"
but we don't believe it.

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...."
