                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Thank you, Death's Door, for casting a Plague upon my House.  In the beginning
it caused me to swoon; once I weathered the storm and gathered my wits I was able to
gain control of the fight and claim victory.  Well done.
     Time is short and I haven't much to say anyway.  I am told that I have but to
retain the throne to earn my place in immortality upon the Isle.  We shall see....
     Until Chaos rules and the Isle sinks, farewell!

Frozen Rope

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail MORDANT!  Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your 
deeds.  It seems the training can make the difference, as SEA DOGS is pushed out of 
top team by LAB EXPERIMENTS, who came from 3rd with a 3-2-0 this turn.  Now keep the 
taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for STEEL LEGION, whose 
0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 7th.  SWEORDMASTERS stable has parlayed this 
turn's 4-1-1 into a 7 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 3rd place.  
Good work, guys!  The RUSTED ARMOR guild has had a 5-0-0 turn and deserves to be 
watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  On their 
very first turn, THE MINISTRY had a 4-1-1, and with this kind of luck or skill, 
should do well.  Welcome to MORDANT.  And let's see, FEYEVER fought PROPAGANDA and 
gained 19 points and contributed to SWEORDMASTERS' 4-1-1.  BASHFUL challenged for the 
Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone MANNEQUIN'S BEST's warrior.  
Defending his title for another turn, FROZEN ROPE kept SHE'S CRAFTY's warrior, 
BASHFUL, from claiming the throne.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw 
last night, cramped under the table at Conan's Place?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the MANNEQUIN'S BEST 
stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on MORDANT, what are you afraid of? 
And guess who avoided MANNEQUIN'S BEST stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was 
SHE'S CRAFTY.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was SEA DOGS' 
warrior HATCH BATTENER.  More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! 
Building dreams on hope, GLUTIUS MAXIMUS challenged up 28 points this turn to take on 
HATCH BATTENER from SEA DOGS stable.  And now nobody knows where HATCH BATTENER is 
right now, after giving GLUTIUS MAXIMUS 23 points worth of recognition.  As quiet 
chuckles rise behind me.  In a brave attempt, FULL METAL MINX from SHE'S CRAFTY 
challenged up 19 points to fight SOULTANCHOR from the LAB EXPERIMENTS stable.  FULL 
METAL MINX perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she beat SOULTANCHOR and ended 
up with 78 recognition points.  CROWBARBIE of SHE'S CRAFTY had better have a good 
reason for challenging down 8 points in a challenge which she lost.  I thought 
CROWBARBIE showed great skill and promise when she lost to STEEPLEJACK.  All right, 
so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  I guess it was coming sooner or 
later, LIVE FROM MOSCOW! has lost PROPAGANDA, and MORDANT is bound to miss him.  For 
a little while, at least.  We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of 
their enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     I like this place, MORDANT, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep 
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in MORDANT again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Soutlanchor -- Very nice.  For some reason I wouldn't swing!  That was really
strange.  Normally I swing away, don't know what happened there.  Gonna try again,
challenging you and Feyever.  This is my last fight also probably until the summer
face where I can manage his strat better.  I figure I am not the style to put into
the mailer to do well.  Although I could fight adepts in the mailer and try champs at
the face.  Hrmm.  You have any luck with PL's in the mailers? -- Phil

Keith Richards -- Dang brother, didn't want my last fight for adepts to be against an
alliance mate.  Thanks for the skills though! -- Doyle

Heidi? -- Sorry that my strategy didn't work...I was trying to bore you to death, but
apparently you got exhausted before that could happen. -- Tankerbell

Larry -- Hitting you repeatedly is exhausting...next time I'll schedule a breather.
-- Reaping Beauty

Thoror -- Since your request for the best 2 out of 3 didn't work out the way you
planned, I'm open to 4 out of 6.  In the meantime, feel free to send my manager
SwineTiger a private message to find out why your plan failed.  It will help you in
the long run and we want to keep you around. -- Crowbarbie

Frozen Rope -- Nice diss in your column.  If my challenge goes through, maybe my new
weapon will wipe that smile and teeth off your face. -- Bashful

Crowbarbie -- In three fights, you have proven yourself the better warrior.  I bow to
you, fair maiden. -- Thurur Iron Hand

Copper Head -- Okay, quit laughing at me. -- Aanslow Njurd

All -- A dwarf is the only one to answer my ad?  Sure, he won, but he had a better
record. -- Sanitarim

Grumpet -- Well done, sir.  Can you point out any errors I made? -- Kryl Rann

All -- My loss to Bourbon shows why I try to avoid drinking. -- Ghost of Adora

Scotch -- As smoothly as you went down you MUST be a Drambuie! -- Vane

Hortator -- Armor?  Check.  Weapons?  Check.  Any defensive ability whatsoever?
Nooooooooo.... -- Steeplejack

Seius Glabrio -- You might want to try ducking next time. -- Windreaver

Rellik -- HA!!  I wasn't even using a scum strategy!! -- Feyever

Enuram -- I guess it goes without saying (though I am saying it now) that I am more
than a little disappointed that I lost that fight. -- Woebegone

Tankerbell -- Two can play the blindsided challenge game. -- Heidi?

N'azadar -- You must have put everything you had into that one shot that hit me.  Too
bad it wasn't enough.... -- Simplicity

Phil Hellmuth -- Finally, someone I can look DOWN upon! -- Soultanchor

Calis -- The boss says I live as long as I keep winning.  Thanks for prolonging my
career! -- French Tickler

Comicus -- Hmmm, didn't expect to see you again so soon. -- Cheese Whiz

Thunderstruck -- I'm feeling it! -- Pocket Rocket

Larcia -- I wasn't trying to kill you.  Really.  I was encouraging you to take a dirt
nap. -- Slap Pappy

Praesetius -- Oh, my dear, you need to eat your Wheaties!  Don't you know Sweet Stuff
is bad for you? -- Sweet Stuff

Makeshift Anchor -- Nothing personal.  Just trying to meet my graduation
requirements. -- Prodigal Son

Phil -- I guess we know how you do against strikers, don't we?  ;) -- Mannequin

The Council of Lords would like to propose a rule change in ADM and Primus.  We
propose that Lord Protectors ranked "Grand Champions" and below (ADM) and "The Tower
Guard" and below (Primus) be allowed to fight in the Dark Arena.  This would not
impact the top rankings or title match.  Any managers who never got his fill or shot
at fighting Gateway monsters would have it as an option.  We believe it might spark
some interest in the ADM/Primus realm for some managers.  If interested, speak up in
the newsletters or on forums under the "rules changes" thread and let RSI know.  This
could even be something to try for 12 months and then be re-evaluated.  What say you,
managers of Ghea? -- The Icelord sends....

     HDFA Mission Statement
     "Show me the money!"
     This is the battle cry of a newly formed collection of like-minded individuals:
The High Dolla' Free Agent$.  We are not a tough guy alliance:  No...we offer no
battle without reward.  We search for victory and the prizes and accolades that
follow.  We are motivated by winning and will freely use whatever means necessary to
obtain our currency.  No stuffy rules, no mandates, no constitutions, no leaders,
only a few objectives:
     1) Win as often as possible
     2) Celebrate freely and revel in your victories; the more meaningless the
victory the more we celebrate.  Highsiding and chest thumping are encouraged.
Ostentatious endzone celebrations with prop usage are encouraged, regardless of
fines, penalties, suspensions or arrest by local authorities.  It is important to let
your opponent know how great you are; more importantly, you must let your own
alliance mates know how great you are.
     This is a 1-up alliance, let the performance of your fellow Free Agent$ motivate
you.  If a Free Agent wins a TV, win 2; if a Free agent wins a contest, win a more
prestigious one.
     Current members of the HDFA include:  CFH and Abraxis.  Inquires can be directed
to:  CFH/Rat Salad DM 47
