SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly JHANS games. STAGGER LEE caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested COME ON and was awarded 13 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, HELL'S EDGE put down
SOLOMON GRUNDY, causing him to lose 8 points of recognition in the process. The city
has turned out in honor of RIREMA, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to
the highest position in the city! 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!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In JHANS "art" is a word that has long
since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in
JHANS these days is FRIENDLY FIRE. At least, most blades in town are looking to
avoid them. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find
any of ENGINES 'O' DEATH last week. Busy avoiding FRIENDLY FIRE? Loose talk at the
arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are
after THE MAD CYCLONE. Watch your back!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. TERMS has sworn to take up religion upon
living to tell of his recent bout with the Dark Arena horrors. A rare thing indeed!
The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one reward--death. This
past week APOCALYPSE, at 10-8-2, departed JHANS forever. Dark alleys may hide both
secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep
vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms
no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Would love to stick around, but this was just one stop on our reunion tour. See you

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
