SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in RIZTAB! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Too bad, HIGH JINKS, but SWEET
MAGIC was just too good to be stopped. Uncool, COLD IRON BLOWS. I mean 0-4-0 is
bad. Will they will be allowed to fight? I say use 'em for training practice!
DREAMERS like really fought hard to move up to 2nd from 5th. Way to go! MVP award
for CROWN ROYAL? BLACKED OUT ON...'s proud of him after beating SISTER Q and getting
65 points. Talk about yer major upsets! MISSY MOSSY's match with LEIBNIZ cost it a
loss of 17 points! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think
MACHIAVELLI should let TALA GOG be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it.
Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? COLD IRON BLOWS was the most avoided team. Is a
18-16-0 record really that scary? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are STEEL THUNDER?
COLD IRON BLOWS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an
invitation! Like, is SUGAR popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of
RIZTAB! He's got a 10-5-0, is that good? For sure, I was holding my breath when I
found out DEXTER challenged HUME. After all, haven't HIGH JINKS and DREAMERS had a
long standing duel in RIZTAB? It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but HUME
wants me to write about it since he was bested by DEXTER. Satisfied?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. 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 know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop.
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Leibniz -- Isn't that a kick in the pants? Whoa! Whoa! Easy Chiller...s'just a
joke. -- Missy Mossy
Epicurious -- Well, truth to tell, I was curious. -- Mangy
Hume -- And to think some folks look down on rippers. Can't imagine why.
Grrrrrr.... -- Krankykarl
Machiavelli -- Figgers. Just when I'd bedecked the lathe-work valet with my finest
in heavy wear, you sneaked in under the bristling shoulder pads. -- Eddie
P.S. How can I be ugly without an ugly habiliment? And that scale-ware's ugly.
Wolf King -- We can't help but be enlightened in your exhibited endeavors into the
offensive possibilities inherent in the Total Parry style. NOT!!! -- Jondeaux, well
known hater of scum...I know I know, cheap shot, there's no Wolf King running in this
arena, but I hate to miss a chance to dis scum runners...................not that
there's anything wrong with that
Losing is Fun -- Oh, HA. You keep SAYING that, but I notice YOU don't go around
losing much. So I think you don't really BELIEVE it, you just want other people to
think you're SOOO benevolent when you let THEM lose. Oh, HA. -- Tala Gog
Wacky Wacon Wonk -- Hmm, I think your brain must have been stunted along with your
size. Because if you were USING your brain, you'd see that you are not the material
of which a good cultist is made. In fact, you look to me more like...hmm. I have
it! Your true fate is to be a singing janitor! -- Winter Shadows
P.S. And you could start by sweeping the snow off my porch. I wouldn't mind.
Darn thieves. He deserved that. -- Tariliss
P.S. Well, he DID. He stepped out onto the sands, and there are no guarantees of
survival there. You take your life in your hands, and he SHOULD have known that.
Madam Y -- For a non-elf, not even a part elf, you do the "mystery and glamour" very
well. Is it something you learn in your cult? It's actually quite impressive. --
Marvanella
Sister Q -- I suppose you'll get the hang of it with practice, but are you sure this
is what you WANT to be doing with your life? -- Sweet Betsey the maternally inclined
and rather worried
Jondeaux -- Did you explain to Dexter that he was supposed to LOSE in the Dark Arena?
-- an annoyed Arenamaster Rillion
Tariliss -- My coffers are not, in fact, fat. They are lean, mean, and hungry. --
Arenamaster Rillion

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
