SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly SOLVEN games. Former top team KELLUMBO'S KIDS was
unseated this week as MIDDLE WAY 15 moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 4-1-0 record for the round. My praise to MIDDLE WAY 15 for their 4-1-0 week
this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice!
BELISSA HOUGH caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully
bested KIDNERGUARDIAN and was awarded 28 points in recognition. In one of the week's
more notable duels, BELISSA HOUGH put down KIDNERGUARDIAN, causing him to lose 23
points of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the
usurper. All hail BILBRAY, Duelmaster of SOLVEN! Heed this! A seer has warned that
if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5
or 7!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. I saw one fighter that warriors
avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. THE REPUBLICANS is feared. This
much I can say. Apparently the stalwarts of KELLUMBO'S KIDS are catching the bulk of
jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk
at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters
are after 365 GTB4. Watch your back! As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip of
fear lays hold of his heart. True, HOT TUB JOHNNY? Who could miss your "brave"
challenge of 365 GTB4? The weight of the challenge fell hard upon 365 GTB4 and
predictably he was subdued by HOT TUB JOHNNY. This is how to arouse the anger of an
entire guild!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in SOLVEN. Nice atmosphere you have here! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are
angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

P.S. Takes one to know one.
P.P.S. I notice on the back that it claims I died! I didn't notice that. You'd
think I would notice something like dying, wouldn't you?
Trump -- Oh, gods, not today! I have a headache. -- Chucker Istta
Kidnerguardian -- I don't know this Kellumbo person, but if I was her or him, and had
kids like you, I'd take up infanticide. -- Belissa Hough
365 Gtb4 -- Scorching. -- Edgiles Kapp
The Fratsfan Noble's Aruaki? Somehow don't think so. Those Fratsfans are very

Roll-up Gods -- You guys must be angry. I gave you two perfectly good sacrifices
last turn, but you cursed me with even worse roll-ups. C'mon, cut me a break. --

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
