DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
My specialty: Slow fights against standbys. Sorry about that.
Naefan Ordh
SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Say good-bye to BASH BROS SOCCER, as they are
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the MIDDLE WAY 9 stable. Coming up with a
solid 2-0-0 outing, KIWI CONNECTION 13 has advanced 5 places in the rankings. Hey
everybody, watch out for TWEED, who flew up 15 points in the rankings after mashing
BLACK HOLE SUN like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher
in the top ten was BLACK HOLE SUN, who dropped 12 points after a disappointing (to
say the least) bout with TWEED. Our battling duelmaster NAEFAN ORDH has managed to
hold the title, fending off M. CHARDINEE's none too subtle advances. Better luck
next time, DRAGONHEAD. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day
keeps T.P.s at bay.
Here is other news that is of note.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Ask not the elves for counsel, for they
will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DRAGONHEAD have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy
Report. Good luck in next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!--

Congrats to the grads. -- Green Eyes
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...."

Warrior and team name changes will be accepted during the month of February. If
you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
