                             Notes from the arena champ.

Yes. me again. With five DM Titles do I get to replace the King? Perhaps not, but how 
many titles has he won? In all my greatest, this is me:

                                15-9-13-17-15-4-11 SL
                          Good endurance, TREMENDOUS damage
              2.05 skill learn rate with AE in Init/Att and EX in decise
                           FAVES: SC; Hi/Vlo; learns decise

Time to head on to ADM where I can rob the richer to pay to the poorer.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Much has changed in LIN TIRIAN since last I was here.  Never fear, Olaf Modeen 
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters.  What's with LINK?  He 
actually beat LIN TIRIAN's KHALHUMS DWARF, and walked away with 18 more points from 
the fight.  Major screwup at SAND DANCERS.  EUGENE lost 9 points to CULT MEMBER.  
Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe EUGENE will provide more easy wins...  LIN 
TIRIAN has a Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy.  He Dark Arena Challenged 
DARK ARENA's SHEWISH GIANT (0-0-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting.  Try as 
he might, SHEWISH GIANT wasn't good enough at persuading ROBIN HOOD to step down from 
the Duelmaster's throne...  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...  The most avoided team 
was FAMOUS ARCHERS.  The bums at V IS FOR VIOLINS couldn't face the challenges from 
FAMOUS ARCHERS!  No excuse for that!  What do people see in WILLIAM TELL?  His 
38-10-1?  FAMOUS ARCHERS ain't talkin', but he's got 125 points.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Who will dare fight ROBIN HOOD, after he returned 
from the Dark Arena?  (For the record 16-5-1 is 133, and has he points) Someone told 
WILLIAM TELL that V IS FOR VIOLINS never Bloodfeuded, that he'd have an easy kill.  
Well, I'm sure whoever misled you is right sorry.  Many a warrior has met his fate in 
a hungover stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
The end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  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
