Face me and DIE!!!  Pukei, you got lucky to leave the infirmary alive.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of TELORINTHE!  Once again I've been called out of 
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Biff!  Pow!  TELORINTHE 
watched with glee as RIFF-RAFF CREW got knocked off top spot by THE DRAGONS!  
Phhbltt!  Too much drinking and too little dodging gave THE FEROCIOUS FIVE a 2-3-0!  
I got a good laugh out of it!  Ya gotta be quick on yer feet!  Keep your elbow off 
the table!  Thrust!  Block out the pain!  THE DRAGONS is now ranked 1st with a 3-2-0 
turn.  HOUSE OF FUR showed TELORINTHE what they were made of as they fought with a 
vengeance to walk off with 4-1-0.  What's with LALALI-PUY?  She actually beat THE 
FEROCIOUS FIVE's KING KILLER, and walked away with 24 more points from the fight.  
I'm sure TELORINTHE is excited about KING CHAPPA, the new Duelmaster from KAME HOUSE. 
(remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  Advice to fighters with a 1 
will--give up fighting!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  The 
most avoided team was HOUSE OF FUR.  In my day, no team with a 52-48-1 would scare me 
off!  What's the problem, THE DRAGONS?  How well I know the feeling of being the most 
challenged warrior, SIR CUMBSTANCE!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to 
haunt you.  Taunt your opponent HARLEY!  That was my lucky charm when I was unfairly 
challenged.  (and by 21 points!)  NIGHTMARE should have an easy win.  NIGHTMARE's 
gonna be practicin' hard this week, after HARLEY, lower ranked by far, mashed him!  
WYAN of SORCERER KINGS knows how to pick 'em.  He challenged SIR CUMBSTANCE of 
QUEEN'S GUARD who is up by 18.  Now was this a wise move?  WYAN perhaps got his just 
desserts, seeing as he beat SIR CUMBSTANCE and ended up with 65 recognition points.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  PUAR, with his forgettable 9-11-0,  was slain by GREG OLSEN in 
a forgettable match.  KAME HOUSE didn't seem to mind very much.  NFL NETWORK's boys 
should be laying low.  Now that NFL NETWORK's manager has gone and let RED DEATH kill 
CAM NEWTON unchallenged, NFL NETWORK's fighters are fair game.  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.  
All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter.  Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.  
Olaffighterwork and no play.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

RED DEATH (83-547) THE DRAGONS (65)

                                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
