DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
The Veteran Mercenary's a nice enough guy, you know, loyal Nianian and all that
stuff, but the Commission just doesn't see him as a Duel2Dude, so they stuck me with
the job. Oh, sure, I WON the fight, so it isn't as bad as it MIGHT be, but cheese
loueese, this is pathetic.
Larsen E
SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. NIANIA needs a spyreport." Oh, well. MVP award for GERSKOL
KILLIT? THE ABYSMALS' proud of it after beating VERELESSE and getting 21 points.
Talk about yer major upsets! VERELESSE's match with GERSKOL KILLIT cost her a loss
of 11 points! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think LARSEN E
should let CONVICTED ASSASSIN be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.
Who was the wiseguy that said NIANIA's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at Jim's Tap
Room? Don't look at me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff.
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys
can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
This would be so much more convincing if the Fratsfa Slave were actually Fratsfan.
More fun, too, I do like a tall blonde now and then. But (squinting) I think he's
Illisni. Oh, well, he lost very nicely, so that will do. -- Findellis
4 Bridges -- What an odd name! But less embarrassing than many odd arena names
visited upon gladiators, so I suppose you got off lightly. -- Koronedus
People call them Dangerous Criminals, and they ARE, so why are they allowed to run
loose in the arena? It seems unreasonable. -- Verelesse
P.S. Or a dark comment on what the Commission thinks of US.
Divaka Manwar -- You can't be TRULY abysmal, can you? Sure, I won, but I've had more
practice at it. You'll improve! -- Sashinda
P.S. You might try juggling lessons.
Tarash Whatever, Embezzling Scribe -- Surely you aren't saying that someone LIED when
you were convicted? No way, buster. You're a creep and a crook, and I won't let you
sweet-talk me around again. -- Verelesse
Biff Mugg -- I don't blame you for leaving Mordant, not really, I saw it myself once,
and I couldn't WAIT to get away. But what's that got to do with dinner and dancing?
-- Sashinda
Helena Green -- Ow! -- Ghost of one too-Persistent Beggar
Jirik Durete -- Okay! All right, you can stop biting my ear, I'll give you back your
ring. I was just trying it on for size anyway. -- Zag the Dip
Verelesse -- (twisting his mustache and smiling) My, you are a pretty little bird,
are you not? Perhaps I have a gilded cage for you at home, eh? -- Red Barkol, not
really a dwarf, though I do have a splendid black beard
Findellis -- I could see you thinking, young woman, and it is actually much worse
than you imagine. I was not, myself, ever Fratsfan, I was ENSLAVED by the evil
Fratsfans! Would my former master could feel the sharp edge of your blade! -- Jenj,
once a slave in Fratsfa, now a free man in Niania and employed by the Commission as
Dire Warning not to trust those two-faced Northerners
Larsen E -- Well, good enough. At least you managed to win, I had my doubts for a
while. Try and pick up your cues faster in the future, though. I don't LIKE walking
into your--or anybody's--blade just to make sure you take the title on a win. --

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
