SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in DAL
SHANG. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Say
good-bye to TIL DEATH DO US PART, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot
by the POSSE stable. It looks like the guys(?) at MIGHTY DUCKS had a good week as
they went 5-0-0 to put them in 3rd place. I guess steroids help! Hey everybody,
watch out for AMORE', who flew up 20 points in the rankings after mashing SIXKILLER
like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk
out on the sands. SIXKILLER was bested by AMORE' and drops 15 points. It's a proud
day for the POSSE stable, as their warrior, REVEREND BLOOD, ascended the Duelmaster's
throne. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad STUMBLIN' DRUNK? Big bad
STUMBLIN' DRUNK. Big bad STUMBLIN' DRUNK. DAL SHANG's afraid of the big bad
STUMBLIN' DRUNK. Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch GOT IT FOR
CHRISTMAS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from
STUMBLIN' DRUNK. And who is this IRISH CREAM you ask, with 68 points and a 15-21-2
record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior,
FRIAR DUCK went after MADE IT HOME, who was higher by 18 points. Well, when the dust
settled, FRIAR DUCK defeated MADE IT HOME.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Remember: alliances are great, but try and
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the DAL SHANG giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Okay, so I may not be the world's
best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. See ya next time
I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

All -- Here's Loner: 17-6-12-17-7-12-13 Great/Very Little. Favs were: Mod/Vlow,
battle axe, lunge tactic, learns parry. Final skills were:
16/9(est)/18/16/11(est)/25. Hosed by 1 in both init and rip, blessed by 1 in dec,
mode parry, unknown def. He learned lots of parry early, and I tried to see if he
could make use of it, but it turned out to be pointless with a 6 con 7 will striker.
The parry learn wasted plenty of skill learns that could\'ve been used elsewhere.
Other than the strange learn, he was a pretty standard striker for me. -- Woody
Joevina -- Gosh. That would be swell. You free tonight? -- Bobika
Annabel Blackheart -- Congrats. Hope you have fun on the isle. -- Man-O-War
Loner -- Wow held on and never let go of that thing leaving the Duelmaster up for
grabs. Great job, Lord Protector. -- Killjoy
Better Duck -- Hmmmm. I Have seen better. -- Chiana
Sand Dancers -- My head is held low. I'm sorry. -- Octavia
P.S. I seem to be saying that a lot lately.
Octavia -- That was a distinctly unfriendly thing to do! -- Ghost of Lissane tyl Dru
P.S. Not the beating me, that was okay, you earned it. But the sand.
Decoy -- Didn't work. I spotted the real duck anyway. -- Merro Dosh
Black Velvet -- I still don't understand why an ability to kill houseplants is
supposed to be worthy of comment. Do you? -- Joevina Saril
Skeezer? Odd name. Good luck, etc. -- Karzin Tyrn
Bobika Vhett -- I bet it feels odd to have to look UP to someone, eh? -- Lorin ten
Koro
Lucky Duck -- Luck is good, but skill is better. (sigh) And one of these days,
you'll have more skill than I do. Drat. -- Modoram

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
