                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  Hey everybody, 
watch out for BILL BOARD, who flew up 24 points in the rankings after mashing SUSAN 
PEVENSIE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay 
to walk out on the sands.  SUSAN PEVENSIE was bested by BILL BOARD and drops 22 
points.  Try as hard as the HOWLIN CASE stable might, they were unable to find their 
warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) THE FINEST before this week's fights.  In front of all 
the crowds, KATNISS took the Duelmaster's crown for hers own.  I give the bum two 
weeks.  4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at 
that location.   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the LIN TIRIAN arena.  Did 
you hear that HOWLIN CASE was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of HOWLIN CASE's warriors, I'm not surprised!  Okay, so I may not be 
funny, but catch FAMOUS ARCHERS' act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly 
deft at running from HOWLIN CASE.  And who is this LIL D'FIELD you ask, with 85 
points and a 11-12-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and 
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, there's the manager of the LIN TIRIAN giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?).  Okay, so I may not be the world's 
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  See ya next time 
I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

THE FINEST (78-3229) HOWLIN CASE (352)

                          Name Change-o-Rama -- Final Update

     Algernon looked at the goats and sighed.  No doubt it was a Good Deed to give 
goats to people who wanted them.  But why did the goats have to be gathered in HIS 
office?  Four of them, and they were a lot like gladiators:  not smelly maybe, they 
were clean goats, but pushy and sure they were the most important thing around.  Maybe 
they should be enrolled in the arena?  No, there were only four, not enough for a 
team.
     He shook his head to clear it of the image of armored goats with sharpened horns.  
One thing at a time.  He pulled a piece of paper out of his desk drawer, dipped his 
pen in the ink, and began to write.

     "It is our pleasure and honor to note that ninety-eight 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 four 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."
