SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, LIN TIRIAN? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, J, since SAND DANCERS took
top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see UNBELIEVABLE win a fight and gain 18 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk,
UNSTOPABLE beat SQUEEK and SQUEEK lost 11 points. You're breakin' my heart. Our
last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks, lost to VENEMOUS CONCUBINE, and MO J has made
the way for a new Duelmaster! With MO J clearing the throne, THE WILLBURYS 78 of
UNBELIEVABLE takes a proud seat as LIN TIRIAN's new Duelmaster, by virtue of
recognition points. 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, LIN TIRIAN?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. I
suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on this one, but UNRELIABLE has challenged up by
29 in an attempt against MIKE. My sides still hurt from laughing about MIKE losing
and giving UNRELIABLE 22 points of recognition. Ha ha ha ha!!
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Ya gotta go sometime, and GREEN J's time
was this time. Hmmm, not a bad fighter, had she lived... (what? me pity?). We're
all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that
later?
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. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
The crowd was surprisingly orderly, but it was still a crowd, and the Commission
clerk, Algernon, looked at it uneasily. Whenever this many people came together to
petition for something, it meant trouble. For him, anyway. Records to be altered.
Altering records was Bad. It made Extra Work.
His assistant clerk leaned close and whispered, "If it weren't for gladiators, we
wouldn't have jobs. Smile at them and ask what they want."
Algernon closed his eyes briefly. Looking at this crowd made him dizzy. They
were all wearing black and white stripes. Like a herd of zebras, except that zebras
didn't carry swords. Then he took a deep breath and managed a smile. "What... ah,
what can I do for you?"
"We want new names," the first gladiator said. There was a number on the front
of his shirt: 0381. He thumped the number with his thumb. "This here isn't a
name--"
"We want REAL names!" That voice came from farther back in the crowd.
"Yeah! We've paid our dues," another shouted, "and we've EARNED real names!"
One from the very back yelled, "I want to be called Tom."
All the others turned to look at him.
Algernon couldn't see him, but apparently those looks were accusing. Well, he
could understand that, "Tom" was such a... common name.
"My mom called me Tom," the voice in the back protested. "It's a good name."
"It isn't the name you put on the petition," 0381 said. "We talked about this.
We got our manager's agreement. You get the name on the petition."
"But--!"
Algernon didn't really want to keep staring at all these stripes while they
argued. He picked up the petition. "These names are the ones you want?"
0381 turned back. "Yes."
"It's a lot of trouble, and when other people see that YOU are getting name
changes, THEY are going to want them--" Seeing the gladiators beginning to frown...
and finger their weapons, he went on quickly, "So I figure we might as well make it a
complete deal. A Name-Change-O-Rama. Everyone who wants a name change can petition
for it. Get it all over with at once." He glanced at the petition, shuddered
slightly, and passed it to his clerk. "We'll announce it, proclaim it, even, and you
will get the names on this petition. And others will get the names THEY think they
should have had, too." He paused. "And I think I'll get a new name, I'm tired of
being an Algernon...."
