SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
DRAGONHEAD. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid!
Take a look at H IS FOR HIPPO's act, as they have a 2-0-0 week and gain 13 places in
the team ranking. Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit
it's corny) is MEAT YOUR MAKER, who swept up 18 places in the ranks. Take a look at
BASH BROS LIGHTS' act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 13 places in the team
ranking. BB TRAIN DELAY seems to have it's eye on the top team spot, and if they
continue having 2-1-0 weeks they may get it! Hey everybody, watch out for FOXBAT,
who flew up 29 points in the rankings after mashing BOOGER KING like a melon. Keep
your eye on this beast. And falling like a basher in the top ten was CRACKED, who
dropped 14 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with RIP. Well
here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! HUBERTA made a
challenge against TAX PENALTY this week. Going for the gusto and coming up with
aught but bloody knuckles was BASH BROS MARRIAGE's TAX PENALTY, who was turned away
from the Duelmastership by HUBERTA. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just
get a bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. Did you hear that FREELANCERS was most
avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal hygiene of FREELANCERS' warriors,
I'm not surprised! For those of you who like math, try this one: FREELANCERS +
Weapons That go Boom = NL CENTRAL + Avoid City. Well dang howdy, but if challenges
were votes, NO BATTERIES would be president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't
want to win. Was it guts or an overtaxed mental capacity that had FIRE STARTER
challenge up 40 points in the rankings to take on PROJECT A? This week FIRE STARTER
17-20-0 fought PROJECT A 20-12-0 and in losing gained 1 points. I know several
gladiators who could go for a few fights like that. Getting lots of flowers from
sympathetic fans was NO BATTERIES, who was successfully challenged by XYLOPHONE who
had a mere 21 points more than NO BATTERIES. Definition of petty: XYLOPHONE
defeated NO BATTERIES, a mismatch of 21 points. In a touching display by a 'touched'
warrior, HYACINTH went after LEMON, who was higher by 20 points. Well, when the dust
settled, HYACINTH bested LEMON.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! Here's some advice: warriors
with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle.
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. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

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.

MINI SPOTS
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.)
