Sit back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. GAMES LIBRARY now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. PASTA: Not great, but not bad. Keep up the work and look forward to having better success as your warriors become more seasoned. Hey everybody, watch out for RIGATONI, who flew up 15 points in the rankings after mashing PERSISTENT BEGGAR like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was DELON LUROST, who dropped 5 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with BELLHOP. Well, if ya don't shows up at the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes. SOLDIER #1 did not fight this week so his title was forfeit. In front of all the crowds, DOMINO JOE took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the OSKSI arena. Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. Well, there's the manager of the OSKSI giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Hasta la bye-bye.

Dennis was a drunk, but he was YOUR drunk, right? But I hate throwing myself into a veritable wall of blades, I really do, no matter how much I deserve it. -- Maur Tolidar Soldier #1 -- I don't know why the crowd was excited. They barely had time to notice us out there in the falling snow before the fight was OVER. Which, I will admit, suits me, although I would have preferred to win. Oh, well, another day, another opportunity. -- Domino Joe #2 Jungle Juice -- Yuck. That stuff grows hair on my TONGUE. Ack. -- Lorins Peln #3 P.S. Have you ever tried to kiss a girl when your tongue was hairy? At the LEAST, she will make...strange comments. At worst, well, you don't want to know. Grunt -- Eh? In what way do you embody honor? I mean, you can't even speak clearly! -- Timaurn Voth #4 the Disturbed Persistent Beggar #11 -- Forget it. Not a penny, not even a HALF penny, do you get from me! -- Delon Lurost #5 the Disgusted at Receiving No Skills Delon Lurost -- Stingy! Pinch-penny! Cruel and unkind and probably drunken carriage driver who ran me down in the street! I gave you a chance to repay me for that I hope inadvertent rudeness, and what do you do? You run me down AGAIN! The curse of the Beggars' Guild upon you! -- Beggar #7 Soldier #3 -- I have made a note on your tab to increase the interest by 37%. -- Userous Merchant #51 Freak Show -- (wincing) Care to contribute toward my transfusions? -- Ambitious Guard #-16 Soldier 2 -- (narrow-eyed look) All right for you, bub. Watch your back. -- Dangerous Criminal #1 Big Brother -- And two for your little brother, if that's the best you can do. -- Kung-Fu Master #9 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.... 29 January 2007 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 LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS ROTELLE was butchered by SPYMASTER in a 1 minute bloody Dark Arena fight.
