                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Yeah, well, you guys will be glad to know that I TRASHED the Convicted Assassin.
I had him trembling and groveling, he was terrified!
     I am BAD.
                                    Larsen E

                                      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.  Of course, we're all terribly 
impressed to see 4 BRIDGES win a fight and gain 26 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, 4 
BRIDGES beat FINDELLIS and FINDELLIS lost 24 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  And 
if variety is the spice of life, NIANIA may be getting bland, as LARSEN E stays top 
dog in the city.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this?  
You want to know what's new, don't you, NIANIA?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  Ooh, 
I'm frightfully impressed, VERELESSE was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch 
that ego swell, sports fans.   
     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.  Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only 
shines through use.  Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     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!  Just wait 'till next time I show 
up here, I won't be so nice!  So nyaaah!  I see the crowds are getting restless, I 
must leave now-- Snide Clemens

The Userous Merchant?  Like I would ever BUY anything from him, or borrow money from
him?  I may be dumb, but I'm not THAT dumb. -- Fendellis

Well, I'd be upset about being defeated by the Captured Orc, except that he's so
MASTERFUL!  He carried me out of the arena over his shoulder and took me to a private
place...and then I knifed him in the ribs.  Men shouldn't think they can get AWAY
with stuff, you know. -- Sashinda

Divaka Manwar -- A real opponent, and I won!  This is great!  Thanks, babe.  Let me
buy you dinner, eh? -- Koronedus

Gerskol Killit -- Like I'm going to get in a bathtub with you?  As if! -- Verelesse

Red Barskol -- (cringe) -- Verelesse

     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

following pledge:

* I pledge that I will not send warriors from this team to a Tournament, nor will I
  use a Tournament prize on a warrior from this team.
* I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena.  If circumstances
  preclude my running less than a full team I will notify the Player Committee.
* I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.
* I understand that any warrior that participates in a Tournament shall be sent to
  the Dark Arena until they are dead.
* I understand that any warrior that receives a Tournament prize shall be send to the
  Dark Arena until they are dead.

The following are the rules for joining this No-Tournament arena 

1.  No tournament play (Dead tournament or otherwise)
2.  One team per manager
3.  Team starts with new rollup (or a zero fight equivalent team is transferred into
    this arena.)
4.  No tourney prizes allowed to modify warriors in the arena
5.  20 teams required, per RSI
6.  Waivers are required to allow self-regulation on tourney ban, granting RSI
    authority to Dark Arena any warrior that participates in a Tournament (until the
    warrior is dead.)
7.  Rotating council to enforce tourney ban and maintain arena integrity.

Hammer will be the focal point for this arena's Player Committee.
