SPY REPORT
Hail ZORPUNT! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for your
deeds. And let's see, LOREN POOLE fought CONVICTED ASSASSIN and gained 13 points and
contributed to KRILL CAVALRY's 4-1-0. Defending its title for another turn, A. MONK,
P.I. kept KRILL CAVALRY's warrior, TERI LARK, from claiming the throne. By the way,
was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Warty
Toad?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their
enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in ZORPUNT and I've a long road ahead of
me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in ZORPUNT again, farewell-- Alarond the
Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
A. Monk, P.I. -- I do like a man who gets right down to work without wasting time.
Very precious and irreplaceable, time. -- Teri Lark
P.S. And I also enjoyed spending several days in the Infirmary with somebody ELSE to
do the cooking. What a relief!
I really wonder about that Userous Merchant. You know, who found him out, why he got
sent to the arena as a standby, the whole story behind this stuff? Mind you, it
would take an amazing tale to make him into a sympathetic character! Usery? Who
needs it, you know? -- Loren Poole
Fratsfa Slave? You are kidding me! Who'd want to enslave this turkey? This WIMP.
Pathetic. -- Kerman Jones
Well, I grant Kerman the patheticness of the Fratsfa Slave, but he's a stubborn
pathetic wimp. -- Travis T Flete
What IS it with these darned Dangerous Criminals? The Commission goes out of its way
to hire wimps for most standbys, but let them go looking for somebody to fill the
Dangerous Criminal slot, and they get killers, every time. -- Miressea Poole the
annoyed
Kerman Jones -- You shouldn't be so hard on me, this could happen to anyone! There I
was, going along with my life, just a little bit of debt, and suddenly it's a BIG
debt and I'm sold into slavery to cover it! So be careful who you scorn, it might be
you next time. -- Piatri, slave of Arsanj of Fratsfa
Travis T Flete -- At least I made you work for it. -- Piatri, slave of Arsanj of
Fratsfa
Loren Poole -- I will send you a bill. Do not be late in paying it. -- Kernlho up
Sartis, Merchant and Moneylender
Miressea Poole -- Remember the terms on which I let you live, little pussycat! Purr
nicely, and keep the claws sheathed. -- Kusster, Dangerous, but hardly a Criminal

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
