Notes from the arena champ.
What were you THINKING, Zander? How could you lose to me, and you not even a
tree? Or...are you a tree disguised as a man? Hmm, have to think about this....

SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Say good-bye
to STRAIGHT UP THUG, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the
ELEVENTH HOUR stable. Advancing in the rankings was ELEVENTH HOUR who went from last
turn's 89-82-8, to this week's record of 93-83-8. Hey everybody, watch out for BACK,
who flew up 13 points in the rankings after mashing SOURCRAB like a melon. Keep your
eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. NIKALA
lost to RIRORNI SPY and drops 6 points. In front of all the crowds, VANESSA took the
Duelmaster's crown for hers own. I give the bum two weeks. 4 out of 5 gladiators
surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ROCANIS arena.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes
and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, there's the manager of the ROCANIS 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. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown

PERSONAL ADS
Nikala -- Why is it that I have this creeping feeling at the back of my neck that
I've been had? This feeling that, "Oh, she doesn't have a chance, but let's pretend
so she'll at least struggle a little"? (heavy sigh) There are always days like
this, but lately.... I think it's a message of some kind, don't you? -- Forluitha
P.S. And only a single skill? That, at least, IS your fault. You just weren't
demonstrating well.
In Hiding -- Well...I guess I can't say you don't know how to handle your liquor.
But this isn't QUITE what I had in mind with the phrase, "Kill the jug." -- Ghost of
Hard Cider
Sawtooth -- I'm just not getting it with your teeth. They look ordinary to me. Very
even. Sharp. Etc. -- Buck Fever
Mr Thug -- Well, I can't say you weren't straight up front about what you wanted,
which was the win, the skills, in fact, everything worth having except (thank the
gods: my life! Ouch. -- 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....

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
