SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of NIATOLI ISLAND. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir
to give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. The boys at BIG
LAKE BANDITS left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by DEATH
PENALTY. Good show! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a
perceptive observation?) as DEATH PENALTY can attest... Say what you will about
blind luck and dirty fighting, but KLKASINO HAMMERZ will tell you 153-152-15 is
nothing to laugh at... KLKASINO HAMMERZ had cause to celebrate, after DUCK CREEK
HAMMER got 20 points by beating BALBASORE. A certain someone should cut down on the
drinking and practice more, after losing 13 points to DUCK CREEK HAMMER. (Discrete
enough, BALBASORE?) ACID BATH successfully staved off a grab for the roses by TIM
CAMPEAU of NYE MAULERS. Does NIATOLI ISLAND have no one talented enough to dethrone
him? Word has it one team in NIATOLI ISLAND is taking speech lessons to try to bore
their opponent to death. I'll bet it works.
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the
mountaintops, so stand the warriors of BIG LAKE BANDITS, alone and unchallenged.
Like a pup with its tail between its legs, BAD COMPANY scurried away from BIG LAKE
BANDITS. Oh, the shame! If challenges were horses, SOCIETY RED could open up a fast
food joint! Take heed NIATOLI ISLAND, of the unprincipled action of VEXER. By
challenging IDAHO, 32 points below him, VEXER besmirches the noble art of dueling.
Warriors of NIATOLI ISLAND! Do you wish your reputations tainted by the base
challenge of VEXER? As a confidence booster, CHAMP CHILSNER challenged TASSADAR,
down 22 points. Do you also slay vicious rodents in your spare time, CHAMP CHILSNER?
CHAMP CHILSNER subdued TASSADAR with a point difference of 22. So this is what
NIATOLI ISLAND calls a duel. This will make an interesting tale.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Oh hard! that
to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Do not think spyreporting in NIATOLI ISLAND is the highlight of my life. As if
buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place.
NIATOLI ISLAND, I leave you now. The Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The
Don't Drop Inn. 'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
? -- With the names of a couple of your dead wariors, you certainly aren't a coward,
but one with great disreguard. I've got a great start of painting this arena with
your blood. Keep sending me your freaks and I'll keep stacking their bodies like
cordwood. -- Crambus
Mighty General Ikillu -- I hear that even now Big Jer rides with the speed of
impending death to our Island Home, his red main flowing like savage snakes behind
him. I hear he has perfected the mechanics of his rototator contraption, time can
indeed be a cruel companion now. -- Den
P.S. Are you just as mad this time regarding your 0-5?
Skullcrusher -- You have much to learn, when I have you upon my table, it will be too
late. -- The Mortician
To the Manager Formerly Known as Prince, or ?, whatever you are calling yourself this
week -- If I were given a virgin every time someone called me the "High Priestess" I
would have enough to fulfill each of Allah's promises. At least show some
originality, you must have a shred, hidden somewhere deep inside that simple mind of
yours. You see little man, if hate were fruit, I would be the Horn of Plenty. To
this point, I have seen nothing of your ability, other than keeping the grave's
resignation unit busy. Are you going to do anything, or just stand there and bleed
all over us? Few teams that have graced my beloved Niytyole Island have been killed
with designated precision as you have. Is this your greatest accomplishment? Very
sad, my simple little man. Let's see if anyone you have can survive the death march
this turn. -- Den
Hammerhead -- My messenger was waylaid with my DA orders last turn, you shall see my
warrior there this turn, as I said before I am a man of my word. You can imagine the
punishment in the AA was terrible last turn, having that many losses against your
pathetic warriors is inexcusable, absolutely inexcusable. There will be a rash of
DA's pending for that very poor performance. As always, develop a rash or something,
anything to make your life a little more miserable. -- Den

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
