DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It is great to see the influx of residents into Floral Valley and to see the
rise of the newer clans. Did you see Fire Incs 5-0-1 and Sittees 5-0-0? Wow! (And
two of the Sittees were against my sisters, unfortunately.)
We love this land and this arena. We knew we would when we chose it for home
698 fights ago. We Flower Girls are honored to have held many Duelmasters of which I
am one. (Well, really 13, as that is how many total times I have held the throne.)
We are also quite honored to have won the very first Fratsfa Quest.
We urge you all to compete in the next Quest, coming up shortly. As can be seen
by the results of some of the teams on the rise, it will be quite the Quest. Come
one. Come all! (We Flower Girls DO say that a lot don't we?)
And while you are at it, do the same at The Flower Shoppe. Me and my many
sisters await merely to please. Just ask for Iris, and you will be very glad you
did. Oh, yeah!
Insolent Iris, DM XIII
SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon FLORAL VALLEY,
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's
that for a perceptive observation?) as HOPLITES can attest... Say what you will
about blind luck and dirty fighting, but ISN'T IT OBVIOUS will tell you 33-42-3 is
nothing to laugh at... Practice pays for SER VON DARKMOOR, who pummelled BYRON, to
pocket 18 points. BYRON certainly had a baffled expression on his face, after losing
to SER VON DARKMOOR and losing 16 points in the process! Well, Duelmaster INSOLENT
IRIS challenged ASSASSIN NATION's MAYHEM. Is a 28-9-0 good enough? MAYHEM found out
that FLORAL VALLEY isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster
here! So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead
trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
And how sociable are FLORAL VALLEY's warriors? Come, let us see. Perhaps the
warriors of ODIN'S CHOSEN should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided
team... The warriors of ODIN'S CHOSEN found their efforts at combat frustrated as
FLOWER GIRLS apparently had more important things to do than fight. Everyone is
famous for fifteen minutes, and PANDEMIC is it right now. Most challenged warrior.
Isn't DARK RAIDERS proud!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Admittedly Death waits for no one, but me thinks LADY RED HAWK of RED KNIGHTS (3-1-0)
is being sent off a little prematurely. Those who owe SER RED IRON of RED KNIGHTS
money and had written him off, take note: he'S BACK FROM THE DARK ARENA!!! AND he'S
MAD!!! Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
All good things must come to an end. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Do not despair!
I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Boy Z -- You sat on me!? I liked it, but there are better ways. Let me show you,
Hon. (wink) -- Anxious Azalea
Wow! Sitees at 5-0! Fire Inc at 5-0-1! Well done! Floral Valley salutes the up
and comers. Perhaps now is the time to come on over to The Flower Shoppe and
celebrate? -- Lady Fern
D.K. Wasby -- We'll be here. And we look forward to Quest 2. My gals are ready for
action. Any action. -- Lady Fern
Barnabas -- You stud, thank you for the comment. Perhaps you can meet me at The
Flower Shoppe and let me get my revenge? (wink) Bring cash. (grin) -- Lady Fern
Byron -- I was not gasping for breath. I was gasping at the size of that weapon you
have. Did you have to get so carried away with it? (sigh) -- Smothering Salvia
(from the crypt)
Wretch -- Welcome to Floral Valley and Fratsfa. We are glad you came. Nice start!
Your warriors have shown their mettle on the sands, now send them on over to The
Flower Shoppe for the real tests. (wink) My girls want all your warriors have to
give. -- Lady Fern
Pandemic -- It was fun. It was climactic! What more could we ask? -- Insolent Iris
Shy Ann -- Well, girls just wanna have fun, and you had the most! Let's have some
more! Come on over to The Flower Shoppe and lick my wounds. Love, -- Painful Peony
Merry Christmas to you and your mates, Iris. I sure put a visit to your Shoppe in
all the socks. -- Le Pentarque
What about the Quest? Soon running?
Bad luck about Gutthild, Heathen. I wish you a good replacement.
Hello, Wretch! -- Le Pentarque
Lady Fern -- We have come to take you up on your offer and take a tour of The Flower
Shoppe. -- Wretch
All -- Hope it picks up a little bit now that the FTF is over. It's fun winning but
it would be nice if the wins came over someone besides NPCs. -- Wretch
Thedeonitsknees -- Nice little fight we had there. -- Fire Wall
Insolent Iris -- Congrats on the DM throne. May you hold it long and well. -- Wretch
Anxious Azalea -- Can't believe your manager had you challenge me; remind Lady Fern
it was Byron and not me that killed the gasping one. I'm just a kid trying to learn
the ropes. Better luck with your next challenge. -- Boy Z
Painful Peony -- Hope you didn't hurt too bad; I was trying to be gentle. -- Shy Ann
Lady Fern -- Looks like we're at it again, always a pleasure to learn from a great
one! I feel very fortunate each time one of mine comes up with a win against one of
yours, doesn't seem to happen very often. Keep up the good work and we'll see you
around. -- Barnabas
Slayingdeisfun -- Saw the match-up and thought oh crap, really thought it when I
dropped my weapon, was very lucky to come out on top of this one with my vicious
back-up weapon. -- Oak Lee
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
