                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, DRAGONHEAD?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see TEENA ULRIK win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, TEENA ULRIK 
beat CHICKEN S#!^ and CHICKEN S#!^ lost 12 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  DON 
CORNBEEFLEON Dark Arena Challenged DARK CHAMPION for DRAGONHEAD's Title this turn, 
and guess what happened?  The crowds were amazed this turn, as DARK CHAMPION killed 
the Duelmaster, DON CORNBEEFLEON, leaving MEAT YOUR MAKER in mourning.  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, DRAGONHEAD?   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  DRAGONHEAD, I am losing what little hope I had in you. 
BASH BROS TIRES the most avoided team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And 
it looks like MEAT YOUR MAKER avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would 
be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  RONARDA SOLA was challenged more times this turn 
than the Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for DRAGONHEAD's 
morgue.  More variety.  Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is 
developing these kinds of weapons?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Glad 
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

                                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!"
