SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, SPRINGBORN
has advanced 3 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for LASER, who flew
up 20 points in the rankings after mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your
eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was QUIZNOS, who dropped
10 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with KUNG-FU MASTER. Going
for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was SPRINGBORN's MOTHBALL,
who was turned away from the Duelmastership by SIR COPHAGUS. Can you believe they
are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Here is other news that is of note.
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 KOLACT giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Its been fun, and
I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens,
I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

Kolact -- A trip down memory lane. The Vikings stable was around to see Goody
Twoshoes claim the throne on turn one on this fair isle. Kilimanjaro first fought
somewhere around turn five or seven. Sadly, his run didn't last and required a dead-
tourney in the early 90s. Don't bother challenging, after a couple fights this turn
to take advantage of some freebees, the team will go back on the shelf for awhile.
Hopefully we can return again soon. -- the Vikings
A note, if you make use of Terrablood, at least one of our warriors is not listed
correctly--and we did not enter them! -- Vikings
Sir Comference -- A backup! I always carry a backup. Why did I forget one this
time? Doh! -- Boro
Lirvel -- Yeah, well, at least I got the jump to start the fight, that's something.
Especially after 14 years of rust. -- Ciric
Vikings -- Welcome to the island of Kolact. Once the refuge of burned out and not so
burned out (we do have allllllll the island amenities) managers wishing a quiet break
from alliance lording. A place to throw in the tanked up ripper or jump waste just
for the fun of it...it was an island of experimentation. Still is as far as I'm
concerned. See you on the sands. -- Stable Springborn
Skyhawk -- Methinks a greater effort next time or the scrap heap looms. -- Laser
Persea Quell -- I'm told I'm not gold...or worth keeping either. -- Jenny
Cynica -- One foot in front of the other. Back to an even keel. Then run with the
wind. Kolact talk...I've been taking sailing lessons. -- Wanda
Quiznos -- More re-vamping. We'll get it. Head in the clouds, and all that. I need
to quit hanging out in the Dirty Lau... uh, Alley section of the wharves. Where the
regular salts and other low-life types (my buddies) congeal. -- Waldo
Sir Cophagus -- I consider that a fair exchange! My thanks. -- Actaon
Wanda -- How about you and me get together and drag those hyenas in the stands down
here and bury THEM in the sand. They've got a lot of nerve, laughing when they don't
have any IDEA what it's like down here. Let's show 'em! -- Cynica
Ciric -- (reeling back) Wow, you're...OLD! But a great teacher, so welcome. --
Lirvel Moorn
Kilimanjaro -- That's a VIKING name? Huh, I would never have guessed. -- Nestor Ordh
P.S. Can I claim Nomenclature Distraction as a reason for losing that?
Jenny -- Gosh, you got to be a half elf! I'm so jealous. -- Persea Quell
P.S. Of course, I AM wildly attractive, so I guess that'll do.
Still -- 16-11(4)-13-13-17-3-15 SH mod/low rip tactic. -- Actaon
P.S. I kept that shell from when Sardine Sally graduated, and now I need to figure
out what it means and how to use it, right?

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
