SPY REPORT
Much has changed in KYR'TERR since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Ya gotta be quick on yer
feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! SHAMAN'S MINIONS
is now ranked 10th with a 1-0-0 turn. Some people say I ramble too much, I don't say
anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well CORDIALS moved up 5, to 5th.
What's with WIND SPEAKER? It actually beat KYR'TERR's KHALHUMS DWARF, and walked
away with 18 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at KYR'TERR while they
watched VENEMOUS CONCUBINE clobber ISTANBUL. It lost 22 points and got bruised from
objects thrown from the stands. KYR'TERR has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and
get lazy. It challenged F IS FOR FROG's GOLFO DULCE (15-10-1), which should prove
(ahem!) interesting. I'm sure KYR'TERR is excited about GOLFO DULCE, the new
Duelmaster from F IS FOR FROG. (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.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. KYR'TERR thinks E IS FOR
ELEPHANT and their 60-41-2 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up...
In my day, no team with a 60-41-2 would scare me off! What's the problem, CORDIALS?
What do people see in NUSAKAN? His 5-7-0? CORONA BOREALIS ain't talkin', but he's
got 28 points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover
stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? 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
The Commission's administrative office on the Isle was in a big square building
that looked like any other administrative office building in any national capital.
Standard, boring. Except for the goats. Half a dozen goats were wandering free,
eating the landscaping, and as many clerks were chasing them. A clerk saw them
coming, he looked like a Trustworthy Scribe, and he rushed over to the approaching
gladiators. "Do you know anything about goats?" He gestured helplessly at the hungry
goats. "They're here because of the Name-Change-o-Rama. We donate them to help change
the world, you know."
The gladiators nodded. They'd heard about it, but hadn't thought it would be so
funny to see. "How did you deal with them last time?"
The clerk made a disgusted gesture. "People came and took them away. But the
people didn't come this time. They sent a message about being quarantined! Aren't we
all? And WE get to work! Goats are not in our job description."
One of the gladiators snorted laughter. "We'll help," he said. "Where do you
want them?"
* * * *
Embric, relieved that he had not been appointed goat-herder this afternoon,
carefully dipped his pen in ink and began to write. "It is our pleasure and honor
to note that one hundred and twenty-seven 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 six 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."
Just a note:
Our DM writers (both staff and players) put quite a bit of effort into writing content
for the newsletters: spy reports, spotlights, and personal ads; fiction and non-
fiction. If you enjoy these, if you want more, or even if they make you laugh, it
would be kind if you could drop a personal ad or even send them a note.
Assur and Consortium, especially, put tremendous effort in Noblish Island, writing new
content and tweaking/correcting older content to help new players learn the game.
A special shoutout should also go to our varied human spy reporters in the ADM arenas,
Seam, Chimlevtal, Shadowspire, Telorinthe, and occasionallly contest arenas.
Kudos and thank you to all of our writers! I'm sure we don't thank you enough.

The short spotlights that Jorja has been writing were intended to be amusing but also
possibly to provide a jumping-off point for further fiction. If you're interested in
collaborating with a story, please contact her -- or just write it! (Let CSR know if
you need her email address.)
