                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon TELORINTHE, 
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  I doubt many are quaking in their boots, but 
CONJURE UP THE SUN comes out of nowhere to get 5-0-0.  What does the future hold?  
Watch this space...  WETWORKS had cause to celebrate, after NIKE got 15 points by 
beating AUTUMN BLOODGOD.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and 
practice more, after losing 13 points to DANGEROUS CRIMINAL.  (Discrete enough, IRON 
OGRE?) In TELORINTHE, nothing is permanent (except Death), and we find ourselves a 
new Duelmaster, DAMIAN VESS.  So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable 
walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  Perhaps the warriors of WETWORKS should take up 
some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team...  The warriors of WETWORKS found 
their efforts at combat frustrated as CHAPEL OF THE GHOULS apparently had more 
important things to do than fight.  If challenges were horses, BEHEMOTH could open up 
a fast food joint!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Charity is unknown in TELORINTHE, and rightly so.  CHAPEL OF THE GHOULS exacted their 
revenge against WETWORKS.  Oh hard!  that to strike a flame, the match itself must 
needs be wasting!   
     All good things must come to an end.  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond 
my control, I must take my leave of this place.  TELORINTHE, I leave you now.  The 
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Warty Toad.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny 
Vir

VENUS (83-437) WETWORKS (30)

                                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
