SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Coming up with a solid 1-2-0 outing, HEROESANDFOUNDONES has advanced
3 places in the rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for BLOODHOWL, who flew up 16
points in the rankings after mashing AIM REDUCE HAMMER like a melon. Keep your eye
on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. AIM REDUCE
HAMMER lost to BLOODHOWL and drops 13 points. Our battling duelmaster TITAN has
managed to hold the title, fending off WENDOL VARN's none too subtle advances.
Better luck next time, MIDDLE WAY. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body,
so try and avoid aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ALJAFIR arena. Did you
hear that MIDDLE WAY was most avoided team this week? Well, knowing the personal
hygiene of MIDDLE WAY's warriors, I'm not surprised! For those of you who like math,
try this one: MIDDLE WAY + Weapons That go Boom = STEEL WOLVES + Avoid City. In a
touching display by a 'touched' warrior, SAPHRONICUS went after ERBIN FRORLIN, who
was higher by 25 points. Well, when the dust settled, SAPHRONICUS was put to death
by ERBIN FRORLIN. ARTEMIDORUS of FIELDS OF ELYSIUM had better have a good reason for
challenging down 11 points in a challenge which he won. I thought ARTEMIDORUS showed
great skill and promise when he bested STELRA TIRINS. All right, so I slept through
it! Big deal!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! I have no doubt that MIDDLE WAY
will be celebrating long and loud their warrior ERBIN FRORLIN's slaying of
SAPHRONICUS on the sands. Big man! ERBIN FRORLIN kills SAPHRONICUS. Who ya gonna
fight next, ERBIN FRORLIN--Minnie Mouse? I hope FIELDS OF ELYSIUM has a good enough
fighter to beat the snot out of ERBIN FRORLIN. And who needs the Dark Arena if
you've got AIM OBTUSE HAMMER around? This week he decorated his armor with DRAHGO.
Who's next? Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly
buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ALJAFIR have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. Hasta la
bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Saphornicus -- (squinting) What I can see of your face between your beard and your
eyebrows suggests that you need, I dunno, cranberry juice? Vitamin C? You look so
jaundiced! It's bound to be unhealthy to be that yellow. -- Erbin Frorlin
Artemidorus -- NOT the kind of fight I wanted to experience, though I wouldn't mind
WATCHING. So, just a hint here, next time do it to somebody else, okay? -- Stelra
Tirins
Titan -- I could see that you aspired to the title, and I wished to make it easy for
you, since your recognition is so bloated and top-heavy. So, I allowed you to travel
to the title by following a... Straight Line
Veteran Mercenary. (sigh) This is a sad thing, the decline of a genuinely able man
into arena standby, simply because he can't live on the pittance he gets by way of a
pension. And whose fault is THAT, I ask you? -- Wendol Varn
Nightsong -- Better to spend the night before the fight sleeping than singing, you
know. -- Vinn Wulf
Mayhem -- I just don't see what the Commission is getting at, or if I do see, I don't
like it. I don't WANT to "bring the young fighters on" by giving them wins, skills,
and confidence in the arena. What have you all done to earn it? -- Kellechi,
Persistent Beggar
Wendol Varn -- A creditable effort, for a human. -- Morrus Reltikar, Veteran
Mercenary
Lenislichi of Venjek -- Venomous indeed, your tongue as well as your bite. -- Vinn
Wulf
Dugald Hammerhand -- I thought you standbys were SUPPOSED to teach us stuff. That's
why I was watching so closely, I wanted to help you fulfill your contract. -- Erbin
Frorlin
P.S. No whiskers, but I'm sure they'd be curly if I let 'em grow out.
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
