SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly ROCANIS games. ALDALDON caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ZANDER and was awarded 12 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, KUNG-FU MASTER put down
PRESTON, causing him to lose 21 points of recognition in the process. The city has
turned out in honor of TREEKILLER, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to
the highest position in the city! Would you believe that over half of the old women
in ROCANIS seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ROCANIS.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
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 - the pen is mightier
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Vanessa -- Thank you. I am really glad to see that honor pass me by, you know?
Enough is too much, sometimes. -- Treekiller
P.S. And there are trees that need my attention.
Zander -- Does this make up for losing to Treekiller last time? If so, I'm glad for
you. Not for ME, of course, because I rather fancied a win myself, but hey,
somebody's got to lose. At least until the Commission grasps the concept of a "tie."
-- Forluitha
Pierre -- Hey, a new face! Great, and you're also somebody who doesn't make me feel
like a bloody tree. This isn't a good team for somebody who goes around feeling like
a tree, you know. -- Buck Fever
Back -- Sounds like a good plan. So, do it! Get back, get away, get! -- Sourcrab
I'd've killed that Rirorni Archer if I could have. Not because he's Rirorni, I'm
about half Rirorni myself, but because he's an archer. Dangerous people, archers,
and SNEAKY. Kill 'em all. -- Hawthorn
P.S. They lay ambushes.
Our congratulations to Nikala. -- the Bad Apples

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
