                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome TELORINTHE.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Woof!  CONJURE UP THE 
SUN were a bunch of dogs after WETWORKS got through with 'em!  3rd ain't so sweet as 
1st!  What's with ECLIPSE?  He actually beat SCORPIO'S LIKES:'s MAINE, and walked 
away with 17 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at CONJURE UP THE SUN while 
they watched VAMPIRE ON FIRE clobber SIX FLAGS.  It lost 9 points and got bruised 
from objects thrown from the stands.  KHALHUMS DWARF was reminded on the sands why 
MOTHER-IN-LAW is Duelmaster.  I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip 
about your fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  How 
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of 
practive, WETWORKS!  The bums at BAD SIGNS couldn't face the challenges from 
WETWORKS!  No excuse for that!  How well I know the feeling of being the most 
challenged warrior, MAINE!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.  
Fighting is a better craft than farming, WAYJOURNER, but you have to pay your dues.  
Being challenged by HEAT WAVE, 25 points above you, is dues.  HEAT WAVE left the 
match looking worse than when he went in, after WAYJOURNER, with a 0-2-0, walked all 
over him.  HIRED BY TRUMP of BAD SIGNS knows how to pick 'em.  He challenged NIKE of 
WETWORKS who is up by 21.  Now was this a wise move?  HIRED BY TRUMP perhaps got his 
just desserts, seeing as he was subdued by NIKE and ended up with 63 recognition 
points.   
     Warriors of TELORINTHE unite.  You have only your games to lose!  COP AT YOUR 
DOOR, with his forgettable 5-5-1,  was killed by CAPTURED ORC in a forgettable match. 
BAD SIGNS didn't seem to mind very much.  Is it my imagination, or are fighters 
getting younger every day?  To die so young, so gloriously!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
TELORINTHE is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  Time 
for my medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

                          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."
