SPY REPORT
Welcome BLACKSTONE. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Who can explain it?
Not you, not me, not MEDAL OF HONOR 15B's opponents, after watching them shoot up the
ranks from 21st to 4th. You know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a
judge... MEDAL OF HONOR 14AR moved up 17 places, to 5th. Who can explain it? Not
you, not me, not MEDAL OF HONOR AAF's opponents, after watching them shoot up the
ranks from 24th to 7th. You know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a
judge... MEDAL OF HONOR GJ moved up 18 places, to 8th. Who can explain it? Not
you, not me, not MEDAL OF HONOR T11's opponents, after watching them shoot up the
ranks from 28th to 11th. Looking for a good fight, confident, skilled, tough
opponents. Well don't look at MEDAL OF HONOR Y3, cause they dropped by 23. You know
what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge... 08JL25A moved up 12
places, to 28th. NIGHT STALKERS bit the big one as they could not win. They dropped
from 8th down to 31st! Are you guy giving lessons or what? Ever take one of those
association tests? You know, he says black, you say white. Water-Lake, Sky-Blue.
Try this: Flop. ROOKIE QUEEN 10! What's with THIRSTY THUG? He actually beat MEDAL
OF HONOR Y3's ERNEST DERVISHIAN, and walked away with 23 more points from the fight.
Major screwup at MEDAL OF HONOR Y3. ERNEST DERVISHIAN lost 23 points to THIRSTY
THUG. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe ERNEST DERVISHIAN will provide more easy
wins... Apparently BLACKSTONE isn't filled with as many gutless wonders as I
thought. The Dreaded Duelmaster got 2 challenges this turn! BLACKSTONE has a
Duelmaster who doesn't sit back and get lazy. He challenged 115TH DREAM's NOT SHORT
(21-18-0), which should prove (ahem!) interesting. Try as he might, NOT SHORT wasn't
good enough at persuading KEEP YOURSELF ALIVE 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.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
MEDAL OF HONOR T11. Management must be dealin', as the boys at 08JL25A ain't
reelin'! MEDAL OF HONOR T11's mad!
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. How long have I been here? I got people to see,
places to go...
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. All work
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

FORCED SUBTEXT (84-27798) 011312R
Name Change-o-Rama -- Final Update
The gladiators looked around at the Commission's administrative office on the
Isle of the Eye. They'd been here before. The standard boxy building, the scurrying
clerks, the... goats browsing on the landscaping. Not as many goats this time as
before, only three. One came over to Zeke (not his arena name) and nuzzled his
pockets. He scratched at the base of its floppy ears, lacking a snack to offer. He
looked at one of the clerks. "I thought you got rid of the goats last year," Zeke
said.
"These are new goats," the clerk said with a sigh. "They're going to be shipped
out next week." He looked hopeful. "They like you, could you stay until then?"
Zeke sighed. Minding three goats sounded more enjoyable than fighting in the
arena. "I'd have to ask my manager."
* * * *
Snatching his parchment away from a very determined goat, who apparently thought
it was a tasty snack, Rodney quickly dipped his pen in ink and began to write. "It is
our pleasure and honor to note that sixty-seven 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 three 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 their new owners."
