DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
My apologies for not addressing the masses last turn. I was getting my hair done and
completely forgot about it until it was too late. I will try not to let it happen
again.
Holding the throne is not a testament to my immense skill as warrior. I wouldn't
even be here if Steev could beat a stand-in or two. Hopefully some teams will come
back and we will get a few more warriors in the upper ranks for me to prove my
mettle. But as it stands now I will probably be facing a stand-in. I just hope it's
not that Khalhums Dwarf; he's one tough fella.
Till next time,
Nahtalee
SPY REPORT
Hail ZUKAL! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. It seems the training can make the difference, as THE MONGOLOIDS is pushed
out of top team by BLUE MOON, who came from 2nd with a 3-2-0 this turn. And let's
see, BLUETTE fought DENTINE and gained 18 points and contributed to BLUE MOON's
3-2-0. DENTINE has lost to BLUETTE, falling 15 points, while helping make FANGS a
1-1-0 turn. We should ask BLUE BLOTTO about the thrill of victory, and what being
the new Duelmaster does for a warrior, he's now the one to ask. Tell me, is nothing
sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Blue Boar Inn uses trolls
in their stew. Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
I like this place, ZUKAL, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in ZUKAL again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Steev -- (bleary look) I really don't want to be up this early, going to work this
early, shaking print cartridges this early, or ANY of this stuff. So YOU can do it,
I got an official "go home and rest" from the Infirmary, and I'm going to use it. --
Ultorino
Wow -- I lost and made This Week's Fave? Why...oh. I see. Okay. I can live with
that, I guess. -- Tiko Ben
Fratsfa Slave? Ho hum. -- Blue Blotto
Wilyum -- Nah, my dad's lots taller than me, it wouldn't fit. -- Blu Jon
Bhubha -- Wake me up when the fight's-- Oh, it's over already? Well, good. I
didn't get enough sleep last night, and I'm going back for more. -- Bluette
Jorja -- Keep up the good work. You keep the arena alive even when the rest of us
are a little tight lipped. I will try to help out and keep things lively around
here. -- Otis the Drunk
Ultorino -- Sorry about the down challenge but Nahtalee wanted to see if the first
win against Tonka was a fluke or not. Plus you are a very good teacher of the
essential striker skills. -- Steev
Tiko -- My name does not reflect what people say when they see me fight. It was
Otis' first exclamation when he saw another crappy warrior walk in to his guildhouse
(bar). I have to keep winning or he is liable to get rid of me. -- Wow
Bet Otis wishes I would have stayed lost. -- Bhubha
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
