SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of VEASTIAN! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. ETTORE HSIDAR caught the eye of many
in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested TIRNIELLIS and was awarded 15
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DRACO EL TANNJN put
down SOLDIER 1, causing him to lose 10 points of recognition in the process. This
time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail KONJOR, Duelmaster of
VEASTIAN! Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights
without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. My inside sources tell me that the
team to beat in VEASTIAN these days is TERMAGANT VOTARY. At least, most blades in
town are looking to avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of LEGION OF GLORY are
catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the
avoids. Mighty fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. SJORDHAL
take warning! You have more than a few enemies in VEASTIAN. For some warriors honor
is not important--only empty victory. See, gladiators, how THOMAS FOWLER of MEDAL OF
HONOR 27 challenged down 19 points to SJORDHAL. Few would not have guessed the
outcome of the bout as SJORDHAL was subdued by THOMAS FOWLER. Is this what passes
for courage in VEASTIAN? I can not but mention with disdain the name of FEROCIOUS
who this week posted a TV challenge to a warrior a full 12 points below in the
rankings. I thought FEROCIOUS showed great skill and promise when he beat KURESSA
D'GEN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing
is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a
rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani
Sharp Eyes

Tamara Rahn -- You're a hot number, sword-sister. (wincing) That was well done. I
hate it when I lose that thoroughly. -- Tirniellis
Draco el Tannjn -- Whoa, slipping there! Just because I've got three times your
regular-arena experience is no reason to lose to me! -- Konjor
Ettore Hsidar -- Gotcha! -- Kuressa d'Gen
Thomas Fowler -- Ah, the old familiar faces.... -- Sjordhal
P.S. I'd've said more, but I got cnesored.
Soldier 4 -- Yep, it's a pattern. -- Toranj
Our congratulations to Tamara Rahn! Go for it! -- The Family
24 January 2007
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
