                                    TEAM SPOTLIGHT

And I saw when the Shepherd opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the
noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.

And I saw, and behold a white horse:  and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown
was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

And there went out another horse that was red:  and power was given to him that sat
thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another:  and
there was given unto him a great sword.

And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see.
And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in
his hand.

And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, a blight has covered Ghea.
Look deep into the heart and take measure of those before you.  See thou hurt not the
innocent and just.

And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say,
Come and see.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse:  and his name that sat on him was Death, and
Hell followed with him.  And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the
Ghea, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the
Ghea.

And the riders of Apocalypse rode forth.

                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

Who was that, Crow Bar?!  A little more competitive than I'm comfortable with.  But
damn the winning percentage in the battle report, we all know why strikers lead the
most popular fighters list.  I didn't realize the DM could skip a standing and
randomly match-up 2 categories below.  My ignorance, my bad.  Hopefully Mushiko Bo's
not in a cowering beneath a tortoise shell avoid type mood.  Otherwise, I'm [bleeped]
if Flaming Flamingo overrides my avoid.

But that's no matter at the moment.  The true measure of a duelmaster is how well he
degrades his opponents.  Volleyball, umm....popped?, dunked?, no, let's try that
again...spiked?, how lame's that...how about Crow Bar...couldn't quite wedge enough,
well, no, that's not quite right either...perhaps my superior wit will rain down
upon the unsuspecting Shaman...who will weave spells of pagan,  umm, medicine,
stuff...well maybe not that so much either...but like it or not, I still remain....

Hart Crane, Duelmaster of Sunset

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome SUNSET.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Woof!  LIGHT BRIGADE were a 
bunch of dogs after LITERATE LOONS got through with 'em!  4th ain't so sweet as 1st!  
Hmmmph!  I always thought SPORTS was an over-rated team and they proved it with a 
0-0-0!  Ya gotta be quick on yer feet!  Keep your elbow off the table!  Thrust!  
Block out the pain!  FIRESTORM is now ranked 6th with a 4-1-0 turn.  Welcome to 
SUNSET, PESTILENCE!  We need more teams who can get a 3-1-0 their first time out!  
What's with AZRAEL?  He actually beat NASTY MOB's JOE STALIN, and walked away with 21 
more points from the fight.  Major screwup at GRIM FANDANGO.  MONTRIEUX lost 8 points 
to DRAGUT.  Some new strategies, perhaps?  Maybe MONTRIEUX will provide more easy 
wins...  Another fighter (FLAMING FLAMINGO 18-12-0) challenged another Duelmaster 
(HART CRANE 14-15-2).  Life goes on.  I'm sure SUNSET is excited about FLAMING 
FLAMINGO, the new Duelmaster from DOC LEGRAND'S AVIANS.  (remember?)  But when you've 
seen as many as I have...  Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  
I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     No matter the time or place, men will always duel.  The most avoided team was 
GRIM FANDANGO.  The bums at NOMADIC TRIBE couldn't face the challenges from GRIM 
FANDANGO!  No excuse for that!  How well I know the feeling of being the most 
challenged warrior, GRAVEYARD TAN!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to 
haunt you.  GENNY GALLOWS of FIRESTORM knows how to pick 'em.  He challenged ZIGGY 
WOLFSBANE of NOMADIC TRIBE who is up by 25.  Now was this a wise move?  GENNY GALLOWS 
perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he was overcame by ZIGGY WOLFSBANE and ended 
up with 4 recognition points.  I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind 
of fights that GRAVEYARD TAN gets in.  He fights people like ELITE GUARD, 14 points 
below.  I thought GRAVEYARD TAN showed great skill and promise when he defeated ELITE 
GUARD.  All right, so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Some people are wondering why NASTY MOB sent ATTILA 
(2-0-0) to the Dark Arena.  Just be glad you're not on their team.  Here's some 
advice:  study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
The end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  Time for my 
medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Sunset Arena -- There better not be anyone laughing at my 3-6 record.  I get pissed
when people laugh at me.  If anyone's laughing at me I'll break their warriors'
ribcages.  Laugh at me a second time and I'll light their faces on fire and put it
out with a maul.  People, don't laugh at me.  If I get all my up-challenges this
turn, I'll probably baffle the arena with a smashing 0-5.  If I win any of those
fights, trust me people, I'll be the one laughing.  I'd like to be a regular here,
but I'm dirt poor and 81 is now active. -- Crambus, Firestorm

Broken Star -- I doubt you'd wanna eat the sandwich that I wanna make for you. --
Sonja

Nomad and Stik -- Machismo is bragging about how you slap around ladies in Dal Shang
or how you'll cave someone's skull in.  Insults tend to be overplayed stereotypes,
like you two sitting around in your love-shack sucking on each others toes, etc....I
don't know why I'm so misunderstood...perhaps it's the tone...like a drunk trying to
hit the high notes at karaoke...or the pitch...I admit my point of view wobbles from
happy to be here to outright hostility...or simply my appearance, all closed
societies object to outsiders.  But my stance on Assur should be beyond reproach!  He
watches from a distance, shows up when he's guaranteed victory.  As Stik so
pathetically stated about Assur, 'I'd like him to...run in Sunset more often', as if
that justified Stik bending over backwards in order to let the world pass over his
head!  Well I'd like the President (of Alastari, of course) to be a humanitarian, not
gonna happen.  So your method of operation is to (embarrassingly) plead, state, how
much you want him back.  I' d rather insult, anger, piss-off, which would give an
actual reason to keep fighting; besides the given of him being a symbol of you twos'
idol worship...at least I'd still have my dignity.... -- Sherman mgr. Lit Loons

Nerve Raker -- In case you didn't notice, that machismo comment annoyed me, totally
inaccurate. -- Sherman

Stik -- Contrary to popular opinion in Sunset, no one's ever been killed with
kindness. -- Sherman 

G.I. -- If you take my advice, indeed we shall, most likely many times!  This kind of
dance is our favorite, that "Grim Fandango" on the sand.... -- Stik

Var -- That was Bone's job (when he could find work), thorn in scum's side.  I have a
new employee in that role, now, however...met him??? -- Stik

Sherman -- (shaking head, laughing)  Man, that's cold!! -- Stik

Crambus -- Uh-huh...(yawn)...go on witchyer bad self. -- Stik

Ooohh, somethin' smells like 5-0!!  Been too long since I smelled that cookin'!!  And
I see Nomad stopped by the kitchen as well!  Nicely done, my friend!  Blades UP!! --
Stik

Nuln -- wow, I didn't think you ran anywhere other than Aradi!  Looks like just
tourney timing to me, but feel free to stick around a bit and color the arena up with
that sense of, ah..."Nulness!" -- Stik

Doily -- Nice little tussle there, nice try, but I win! -- Graveyard Tan

Matsuda Kao -- Finally, we get a challenge through.  Pity I didn't finish the job.
Although, if I had, that would prevent further easy wins in the future for me.... --
Bravos

Light Brigade -- Will your bravado show up in the arena ads as well?  Just curious.
-- Nomadic Tribe

Hamsun -- Perhaps you can commiserate with Raker.  Some plans look good on paper, but
fall apart when you take a broadsword to the forehead! -- Black Tiger

Vulture -- I guess that will give you one to try and revenge!  I seem to do just fine
whenever I'm not facing that bum doing the fat-guy-dance from D.R.I. -- Shaman the
warrior

Sonja -- Courage or foolhardiness?  Such a daring up-challenge and you didn't even
get the learns I'm sure you hoped for.   Feel free to keep the Dream alive and try
again! -- Dr. Dream

Darla -- A little Zig this way and a little Zig that way...a few minutes later and it
is all over.  I love it when a challenge works out! -- Ziggy W.

Celia -- Even for a girl, you are a joke of a warrior, and one ugly woman. -- Bloody
Star

All -- What is this?!?  Mighty Sunset is being overrun by unaffiliated wanderers!
The Light Brigade are a bunch of insolent upstarts!  They need to be put down before
Andorians see this arena is "safe" and start planting teams.

All -- Will no one defend the glory of Sunset?  Soon Andorians will be flocking to
the arena!  Our warriors will be made to curtsy before combat, their scimitars held
with pinkies outstretched.  All kill attempts will be punishable by 40 lashes (tongue
lashes) and said warriors will be barred from future curtsy lessons.  Hope must be
quashed!

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
