SPY REPORT
Good day, in ROCANIS a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. The ELEVENTH HOUR guild has had a
4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind
of thing can lead. And let's see, DELIA THUG fought DOOM FROM THE SOUTH and gained
19 points and contributed to STRAIGHT UP THUG's 3-2-0. LOIS THUG has lost to PIERRE,
falling 10 points, while helping make STRAIGHT UP THUG a 3-2-0 turn. And not without
some honor, TREEKILLER now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of ROCANIS. Can
someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do
dishes at Mylar's until they win. Maybe?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. BAD APPLES has lost HARD CIDER to the arena in the sky, but they don't seem
to be worried. What do you expect from 6-5-0? We'd like to remind certain teams not
to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered rude.
I like this place, ROCANIS, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in ROCANIS, but never good to wear out
my welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in ROCANIS again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Zander -- Somehow, I find myself totally not surprised by that. This is about your
pear tree, isn't it? You should be thanking me! Pear trees are evil. They produce
partridges which in turn make messes on the seat of your carriage when you park it in
the shade. -- Treekiller
Vanessa -- And so you SHOULD thank the gods that I'm alive. If you'd killed me, I
would have haunted you fiercely. Not just a few chiding remarks and a cold, mournful
presence, but SERIOUS haunting. -- Forluitha
Loveable Larry -- You're a thug, through and through, and even your mother couldn't
love you. I can tell. But *I* can love you, if you learn to get drunk and fall down
like a man under the influence of... Hard Cider
Lois Thug -- I was operating under a serious, complete, input error, but that does
not change the fact that (puppy dog eyes) I find you fascinatingly attractive. Say
you'll go to dance with me! -- Buck Fever
Mr Thug -- What qualifies you for that dignity, bub? You just look like a straight-
up thug to me. -- Sourcrab
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....
