SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, KALTOS? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see FERGUS HILL win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, FERGUS HILL
beat TWINK and TWINK lost 14 points. You're breakin' my heart. SUSHIE challenged
KALTOS' Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old, in with the
new, as SUSHIE takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh,
heh. 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, KALTOS?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. KALTOS, I am losing what little hope I had in you.
SPORTS GREATS the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And
who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It
was PAPER MARIO. Ha ha ha ha! SUSHIE was challenged more times this turn than the
Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
What can I say, Mickey Mantle. I was rash in my statements about you. You are good.
You kicked my posterior. I whiffed! A salute to you. -- Sushie
Fergus -- Sometimes I wonder how I do that? -- Twink
Elinde -- Perfume? Nah, it is my magnanimous personality! -- Bombette
Gretsky -- Hah, hah, hah. If you challenged me, I probably wasn't there to fight
you. I try not to waste any time on puck-people. -- Tubba Blubba
I am very, very disappointed, Sushie, that you lost the Duelmaster throne. And to a
mere Yankee. How embarrassing! -- Luigi, mgr. Paper Marios
Twink -- Nothing like a familiar, ah, sense-organ cluster. I never know how to
handle golems. Have you considered converting? -- Fergus Hill
Tubba Blubba -- I'd really like to get you over a hot fire and just...see what
happens. Why, we could get enough oil rendered out to light Kaltos for a year! --
Elinde Goss
Star Rod -- I wish I knew how you attracted lightning like that, and then deflected
it onto your opponent. It would be intriguing to interrupt the process in the
middle: let you attract it, and then NOT deflect it. Just to see what would happen.
-- Jeri Lough
P.S. When you make my hair stand on end, under my helmet, it gets hideously tangled,
you see. Sometimes it takes DAYS to get it combed out again.
Bombette -- I think it IS your perfume. (eyes watering) Horrible stuff. How do you
stand it? -- Helene Juste
Gretzky -- Well, this makes an oh-fer turn for us. Good thing our manager isn't
hard-nosed about stuff like that! -- Orverd Quill
Our congratulations to Mickey Mantle. -- the Middle Way
Ah, the joys of being the team moving fastest...downward. What excitement! -- Fergus
Hill, for the Middle Way
Bombette -- But I can't lift it. -- Elinde Goss
Star Rod -- You're a mechanism, not a person, so how can any treatment be despicable?
-- Fergus Hill, perhaps a lout but not despicable

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
