                                      SPY REPORT

     You elder fighters surely remember me.  The younger ones may call me Olaf 
Modeen.  I return to ERINIKA once again!  Bein' on top is great while it lasts, LUDUS 
MAGNUS.  But how many friends do you have now?  Who can explain it?  Not you, not me, 
not VULPECULA's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks from 20th to 4th.  
You know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge...  AURIGA moved 
up 15 places, to 6th.  What's with WRENCH?  He actually beat MYTHOS 7's SIR GARLON, 
and walked away with 24 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at M IS FOR 
MONKEY while they watched WRENCH clobber SIR GARLON.  He lost 19 points and got 
bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  What a role model for ERINIKA's young 
'uns!  MURMILLO becomes Duelmaster, but don't bother to fight no more!  I can barely 
restrain my enthusiam for DAUGHTERS OF DARKNES' outstanding member, Duelmaster 
CALISTA.  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some team 
is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  We all knew it had to happen sooner or later.  A 
warrior can't stick around with a 12-12-0, and CALISTA easily took care of MONKEY 
BUSINESS.  CALISTA had a sure-fire victory when she challenged MONKEY BUSINESS, 24 
points below her.  Was anyone really surprised when MONKEY BUSINESS bit it?  Here's 
some advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  All work 
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

                                NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA

     Algernon, who had NOT gotten the name change he'd asked for, looked at the latest 
petitioner.  This was a typical gladiator, big, muscular, and scarred, with a frown.  
"Ah, what can I do for you?"
     "Name change.  I heard we can do that.  I'm tired of being Jane Doe."
     "I'd think you would be," Algernon said faintly.  "The Commission has actually 
been thinking about this.  It isn't FREE, mind you!  It takes money to run our office, 
you know, and we want to buy some goats--"
     "I don't care about goats!"  He made a crude suggestion about goats.
     "Gladiators, teams, it will cost you two dollars to make a change--"
     "I had a talk with my manager.  He'll find the money.  I want to change my name 
to Jane Ralph.  I'm no doe!"  He thumped a fist on the counter.
     "Er, yes.  Jane Ralph.  Fill out this form, please."  He pushed the paper across 
the counter.  "The changes start on the 15th of April--that's the Ides, you know, and 
can be submitted through the end of May.  With the payment.  No change without the 
goat, ah, the gold."

                                  *   *   *   *   *  

     Warrior and team name changes will be accepted beginning April 15 and continuing 
throughout the month of May.  The cost will be $2 per name change.  All proceeds will 
be used to buy goats via Heifer International and will be matched up to $500.  
If you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
