Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and I'm going to give you a spy report!. Hey everybody, watch out for DEATH'S DOORMAN, who flew up 9 points in the rankings after mashing VETERAN MERCENARY like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was FORANDIN, who dropped 2 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with WILLIAM CRAWFORD. Our battling duelmaster SWAN has managed to hold the title, fending off REIGN OF BLADES' none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, THE PLAGUE. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff? Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid BIRDS, please raise you hand. Wow. Does KATI-TEI really have that many liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your rasberries, cause THE PLAGUE beats feet every time BIRDS smiles at them. Try farming, eh? Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. Well, there's the manager of the KATI-TEI giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? LUMP OF LEAD 4307 0 1 0 THE PLAGUE 93 ARENAMASTER JAILON 23 504 NONE PERSONAL ADS Reign of Blades -- What happened? I didn't hear any thunder, and yet... suddenly it was raining down all around! I was drenched! -- Quinore A Happy Peasant? For why is he happy? What is there to be happy about? He's nuts. -- Forandin P.S. I had to be really firm with him, because being nuts is contagious and I wanted away as fast as possible. Somebody should tell the Ambitious Guard not to parry with his face. -- Chericille William Crawford -- Oh... go zest your skin or something! I don't much want to see you around. -- Valgard Grunt 2 -- You number your grunts? Isn't that kind of... impersonal? Maybe they should be, you know, named, instead. For instance, you could call the first grunt Tom, and the second grunt Dick. Unless you'd rather be Harry? -- Rambling Ox We mourn the passing of the Render of Veils, because we had a great veil for him to rend. Ah, well, someone else will just have to step into the role. -- the Wanderers Blinded By Knowing -- Sure, I wouldn't mind some skills. Bring 'em on. -- Rambling Ox P.S. Uh, with labels? Sure, I have great charisma, but that doesn't mean I'm some kind of Elfred Onestone. Timo Ley, Seriously Injured Peasant -- Oh, right. They ALL say that. -- Chericille Reaper -- I'm afraid I may not have time to find out where Flutterlee went this week, or even clock in the Dawn of the Dwarf. But next time, for sure. -- Leeta P.S. Okay, maybe this time, if I get everything else out of the way in time. 29 January 2007 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 14 February 2007 RSI is now taking rollups for a slow version of the No-Tournament arena.
