                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  JADE MOUNTAIN needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  What was the 
name of that team who got 4-1-0 this turn for a total 21-24-6 you ask?  (Sure)  THE B 
TEAM's their name, and fighting's their game!  MVP award for LADY CHAO?  SAND 
DANCERS' proud of her after beating KO-HA OAKCHOPPER and getting 10 points.  Talk 
about yer big time losers!  SLUG got smashed by ZAZZER, and lost 4 points!  What a 
putz!  COLD STEEL fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the 
title.  No one said he was a genius...  And I was just getting used to the 
ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome RUMBLER.  Aren't SAND DANCERS proud. 
(Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask me! 
     Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All JADE MOUNTAIN ever talks about is 
fighting!  Me, I'm more laid back.  What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  
I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain.  Soak it in cold water, and hand 
wash.  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.  Its 
been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

Tomtom -- For some reason, my head was just pounding after that fight.  Probably 
because YOU were just pounding all through it. -- Hotdog

Agnor -- Ah!  Next thing you know, I'll have a winning record.  So cool! -- 
Hai Tai

Cold Steel -- You're hard, that's what you are.  Cruel, too. -- Han Ki

Full Force -- I call that unfair!  AFTER the arenamaster declared the fight over, THEN 
you knocked me down so you could bury me in the sand.  That was unnecessary. -- 
Rumbler

A standby to lose to me.  Very good. -- Lady Chao

Cleopatra -- Darn.  Drat.  Other exclamations as they occur to me.  We're grappling 
with pre-tourney prep, as in doing all next week's personals early so they get done at 
all.  So no spotlight until next tourney when it's all behind us. -- Jorja
P.S.  There was a time when people READ real DM columns.  Who's going to do it these 
days?

                                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
