Notes from the arena champ.
It is me, Smirk, the Duelmaster, and I absolutely plan to say something in my DM

SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of XOCHITHLAN! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. XYOKOR YAHL caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested RIRORNI WOMAN and was awarded
16 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, OPARA PERSI put
down IGNORE, causing it to lose 5 points of recognition in the process. Not for
nothing has SMIRK in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week
it's proven its combat skill yet again. Would you believe that over half of the old
women in XOCHITHLAN seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In XOCHITHLAN "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! XOCHITHLAN, city of gladiators! Mighty among
the names of thy guilds is THE MYRMIDON, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to
find any of CHEAP SHOTS last week. Busy avoiding THE MYRMIDON?
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand 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? 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 - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Another poor round for The Cheap Shots at 3-0-0. When are we going to get back to
the five win scenario? -- Cheap Shot Management
Belle Cor -- You are right. I am much better than Chuckle. I like fighting you for
the easy wins. Gotta love it, Babe. -- Smirk
Xyokor -- Well, sure, THAT worked for you! -- Sneak (snickering)
Smirk -- Good for you. *I* don't want to be Duel2Dudette, and you'll make a fine
one! The lace skirt is a good touch. -- Belle Cor
Sneak -- (confused look) I didn't even see you come out, and the fight is over
already? -- Xyokor Yahl
A Collaborator? With whom does this elf woman (snotty wench) collaborate? -- Quia
Rayne, confused
Huh, the Collaborator must be collaborating with the Handicapper. -- Opara Persi
Ignore -- Oh, I didn't notice you there.... -- Mori Neb

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
