SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
NIANIA brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. NIANIA saw the first turn for THE
ABYSMALS, a 2-1-1, and some teams are scared, others are too arrogant to notice.
Take note friends, take note. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see LARSEN
E win a fight and gain 15 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, 4 BRIDGES beat KORONEDUS and
KORONEDUS lost 8 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and inability to
defend the throne, PAUL ATREIDES has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start setting
that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as LARSEN E takes
the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Jim's Tap
Room, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff?
From NIANIA's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?
What does the NIANIA arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Phlllt! Just had to do that
before I leave the fine city of NIANIA. I feel much better now. Glad to see the
back of this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Ah, down to just two active teams again. This arena is an uphill battle, and, gods,
we get so tired of fighting it sometimes. We really need more teams if we're going
to keep going. Masters of Sand, do you know anyone interested in an intimate little
arena? -- The Golden Fish
Convicted Assassin? Ssothiss, what were you DOING to let them get the evidence
against you? Honestly! You CAN do better than that. And, ahem, I can point you at
some targets we wouldn't miss.... -- Larsen E
Note to myself, do NOT trust dwarves, even when they come in the guise of merchants.
What a nasty temper that userous wretch has! -- Findellis
P.S. I guess it was the elevator shoes that threw me off and made me think you might
be approachable. Huh. As if!
Piter Devries -- A real opponent! I'm so excited, I don't even mind (much) that I
lost! Wow. And all those skills, too. This is great. Thanks. -- Koronedus
Hah! And I know WHY the Deserter fled Mordant! He should have KNOWN that General
Korsandar's daughter would babble. She always does, useless human wench that she is.
Boasting of her conquests, I bet. -- Sashinda
I hate embezzlers. Really, really hate them, ever since one caused a merchant I was
working for to go bankrupt and my paycheck to vanish. -- Verelesse
Gobiann Strongaxe, Khalhums Dwarf -- (recoiling in horror) No! -- Findellis
Verelesse -- You are a hard-hearted woman. This was not necessary. -- Tarash
Tarindanall, Scribe Unjustly Accused (they just didn't understand my system)
P.S. Do you know how much a standby-resurrection costs? And the worst of it is, if
I apply on standby status, even when there are no others, the blasted soul-catchers
make me wait around in limbo for DAYS before they bring me back.
P.P.S. You TOLD me to try to "do better in the clinches." So I was trying to. Why
do women never say what they REALLY need?
Sashinda -- Ah, you're such a hard-hearted woman, too. Why not be nice to me? --
Biff Mugg, late of Mordant
Findellis --Surely you didn't expect me to "buy" that explanation? You borrowed the
money, you will pay it all back WITH interest. -- Sedmon Var, Dwarven Merchant
Larsen E -- For a human, you are getting quite good at this. But why do I say, "For
a human"? Humans are SUPERB at mayhem. It seems to be a racial gift. Well, you're
still getting almost good at it. Why, you might even survive an active arena! What
a though, eh? -- Ssothiss, Assassin, falsely convicted--I didn't do THAT one
Paul Atreides -- It wasn't my FAULT, dammit. You have to pay the premiums if you
want the insurance. -- M Laymoness Chardinee, Chartered Insurance Agent
Findellis -- (twirling his mustache) And how nicely you twitch when you itch, madam!
-- Gobiann Strongaxe, Khalhums Dwarf
Koronedus -- Er...thank you? Maybe. -- Tarash Tarindanall
Sashinda -- Of COURSE I'm pathetic! That's my professional expertise showing. --
Resero, Persistent Beggar in Good Standing
24 January 2007
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
