SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon JADE MOUNTAIN,
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! FALSE OVERTURES? Who? SAND DANCERS is the
top team these days, buddies! Practice pays for STONE HAMMER, who pummelled
TALK-TO-DEATH, to pocket 12 points. DEADLY FORCE successfully staved off a grab for
the roses by WINTER ROSE of SAND DANCERS. Does JADE MOUNTAIN have no one talented
enough to dethrone him? Word has it one team in JADE MOUNTAIN is using psychics to
predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
So much to report, so little time!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have
fallen into an unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in JADE MOUNTAIN is the highlight of my life. My
fingers tire and I fear my incessant prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my
impeccable character. JADE MOUNTAIN, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to
foot my bill at The Green Axe. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Jade Lotus -- Not again! Oh, well, that shouldn't happen for a while, at least. --
Nareen
Ko-Hain -- I thought you said you were going to hit someone else... -- Melrose
Stone Hammer -- Can you believe that was my best learning from a fight so far? Well,
it's a step in the right direction, I guess. -- N'Kessa
Grape Ape -- Why did you keep repeating your name? It was so distracting. --
Whetmore
All -- Unfortunately, False Overtures is going on hiatus, effective immediately. I
intend to return, I just don't know when. Farewell for now. -- Guido
Guido -- Regarding "working some weird hours": You've got to play the cards as they
fall to you. And the five-award turn? Sometimes I get 'em, in small arenas you can
do that even without special effort, but they don't last. For that--lasting high
performance--you DO need special effort, and that is not in our cards. -- Jorja
Melrose -- Well, of course! Of course I want to impress you, of course I'm trying to
turn your head because it's beautiful from both sides. -- Ko-Hain
Deadly Force -- At least you were only that "in a manner of speaking," as they say.
-- Winter Rose, still hoping for a winning record but willing to accept graduation if
that's what's on offer
P.S. Darned if I know what I'm lacking, maybe some rating in an esoteric field.
Nareen -- At least you didn't go on and on and on. I'm running short on sleep today,
and I couldn't have LASTED on and on and on. -- Jade Lotus
Iron Handed -- Always a nasty type in a close fight, aren't you? Well, actually, I
am, too... if it's dark. -- Claws of Night and Alleys
Melrose -- I'm still trying to reach a winning record here, but I did give you a
couple of my BEST skills. -- Ko-Hain
N'Kessa -- Aw, you're such a cute little thing! -- Stone Hammer

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!"
