SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly DAYLA KIV games. I could not but notice the fine
record for ERRATA (3-0-1) after their first round of combat. May the gods of war
favor you in DAYLA KIV! HONG KONG PHOOEY caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as he skillfully bested VORGAN TEN TALH and was awarded 24 points in
recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, HONG KONG PHOOEY put down
VORGAN TEN TALH, causing him to lose 20 points of recognition in the process. Not
for nothing has SPALDING in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this
week he's proven his combat skill yet again. No confirmation, but my sources claim
that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons
perhaps?
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. DAYLA KIV, city of gladiators!
Mighty among the names of thy guilds is CORPS, a guild shunned and avoided by many in
the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of HANNA BARBARIANS are catching the bulk
of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty
fighters cannot but expect competition from those below. JUJUBLE take warning! You
have more than a few enemies in DAYLA KIV.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. This week marked the last days of SAM
GOODY who at 16-3-1 was dispatched to the Dark Arena by the command of CORPS'
demanding management. Was I the only one shocked to see the well respected fighter
SAM GOODY (16-3-1) appear on the sands of the Dark Arena? He is now dead. Fate is a
fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the
victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in DAYLA KIV. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell,
and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

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
