SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. JHELUM needs a spyreport." Oh, well. MVP award for BAD
TRANS OP? DEATH SQUAD's proud of it after beating HANNIBAL and getting 22 points.
Talk about yer big time losers! HANNIBAL got smashed by BAD TRANS OP, and lost 20
points! This Duelmaster is like something else! FOOT BALL stopped EPIMONIDAS dead
in his tracks! I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.
They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. F BALLS was the most avoided team. Is a 97-85-7 record really that
scary? I don't know what TANKS FOR NOTHIN''s been doing. They certainly haven't
been accepting many fights from F BALLS, that's fer sher. Can TANKS FOR NOTHIN''s
MERKAVA be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the
same? I'm not so sure MERKAVA knew all the facts when he challenged CHALLON of DOGS
OF WAR. I saw MERKAVA stumbling and dribbling at The Welcome Wench last week...
MERKAVA lost to CHALLON, but he got 1 points. CHALLON won, and got 4 points. I
don't get it.
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All JHELUM ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. Ooh! The suspense is killing me! THE SHALLOWSHIP has like just
one turn to Bloodfeud FOOT BALL of F BALLS! Will they do it??? What if they had a
fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Its been
really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Fuzz Ball -- Gods! (sneezing violently) I don't know how you can stand all that
(sneezing again) fuzz! It's (sneeze) awful! -- Jimmy Custer
P.S. Besides, my eyes were watering so badly that even if I could have stopped
sneezing, I couldn't have seen you clearly. Gods.
Aragant -- I would mind your stuck-up airs less if you'd teach better, you know. The
secret is in the follow-through, as I learned, finally. It isn't enough to cross the
Alps, you have to carry your attack to Rome. So remember, next time you're feeling
lazy and so-what on the sands, teaching is important! It cements good inter-team
relations and encourages people to teach YOU well in return. -- Hannibal
P.S. I really didn't want Rome, though. All the wine there was sour.
Gimlet -- I would have buried you in the sand, if the arenamaster hadn't stepped in,
to spare you the embarrassment that must follow from a defeat by one such as myself
who is less experienced. It was a purely humanitarian gesture. Really. --
Epimonidas
Bad Trans Op -- Tchah. Learn to use the other arm in such a situation. That's WHY
you have two. Not for balance, as some silly philosophers claim, but so that you
have a spare ready, pardon the pun, to hand in time of need. -- Howard
The Ambitious Guard? He's a fool. I will have nothing to do with him. -- Challon
Gimlet -- Misfortune is the incubator of creative solutions, sir! Improvise! --
Hannibal
Aragant -- You find this...amusing? How odd. But at least it is likely to be
restful and require little in the way of energy and effort. -- Epimonidas
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
