SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
MORDANT. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid!
Coming up with a solid 2-0-0 outing, SWEORDMASTERS has advanced 3 places in the
rankings. Hey everybody, watch out for CRAP CAT, who flew up 25 points in the
rankings after mashing HAYDAN like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Well,
everybody's pal JEJUNE moved its record to 15-1-4 by defeating SILISA THE SNAKE in
the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 6 recognition points. 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 MORDANT arena. Well just
about everybody wants a piece of OUTLAW INLAW, who was this week's most challenged
warrior. SWALLOWTAIL of MANNEQUIN'S BEST had better have a good reason for
challenging down 13 points in a challenge which she won. I thought SWALLOWTAIL
showed great skill and promise when she subdued BRICK WALL. All right, so I slept
through it! Big deal!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally
in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in MORDANT have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. And
remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've
heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Gooeyduck -- It would appear that the "tarbaby strategy" does not work with you. This
is disconcerting. I must think about it further. -- Haydan
Swallowtail -- The Brick Wall's nuts. I knew it all along. After all, a golem made
of bricks? No way. And now one that's besotted with a chick in a funny coat who is
also a MEAN, GREEDY chick in a funny coat. A clear case of golemic insanity. I
wonder if I can give him to my mother-in-law? -- Outlaw Inlaw, pondering ways and
means
Destiny -- (pleased look) Well, it appears that this time, I'm YOUR destiny! And let
me tell you, it was a real pleasure to demonstrate those skills for such an attentive
woman. It makes me feel all, er, "warm and fuzzy." -- Number Two, who is actually
feeling warmer than that and not exactly fuzzy, either
Caeran Slave -- Your psychic flash from the Brick Wall. I wouldn't bother with it,
but I can't seem to keep the Wall out of my head.
I am (unclear reference, something like "crumbling at the edges," or maybe
"chipped") to have to deal so abrasively with you. However, it is my clear duty (I
think the concept is duty, more or less) to suppress your efforts to relocate. If the
masons (gods?) have designated Mordant as your proper location, then you must remain
here. To defy ("not bond with the mortar") the intentions of the masons is Wrong.
Remain in place and support the courses above you as was intended for you.
End of the transmission, and I wish I could keep the damn Brick Wall out of my
head! -- Number Two
Tender Vittles -- What a PURRFECT match we make! You, so tender and toothsome, I, so
feline.... -- Third Charmer

Invitation to Newbie Managers
by Hammer
As a Captain of the Vendetta Cartel, Hammer has recently dissolved the Vendetta
Cartel Crimson Ascension Family. Lady Martilyo and Rook are NO LONGER members of the
Vendetta Cartel.
The Vendetta Cartel is divided into "Families" under the leadership of Captains;
who have been appointed by the VC God Father known throughout the duelingland as
Master Darque.
Hammer is now the Captain of the Vendetta Cartel Tarantula Tribe and the veteran
manager extends an invitation for prospective membership as a Probate [ONLY 2 Probate
positions are available in the VC Tarantula Tribe at the present time!] to any Newbie
Manager who qualifies under the following conditions:
1. Newbie Manager MUST have Online Access for Email communications! [Hammer is
presently living in Qatar and Lieutenants Maximillian and Firehawk are living in
Canada; so Email Communication is a MUST for consideration!]
2. Newbie Manager MUST have the time and funds to create 2 new stables to be
placed in 2 separate Slow Arenas [the cost of running 1 stable in a Regular Arena!]
to actively participate on a monthly basis with the other 3 T-Tribe members of the
Vendetta Cartel!
3. Newbie Manager MUST have the DESIRE to be an Active Member of the Vendetta
Cartel as a Tarantula Tribe trainee aka Probate; developing his/her managerial skills
under the mentorship of Hammer and the other VC members; thus proving themselves
worthy to become Vendetta Cartel Lieutenants in the Vendetta Cartel Tarantula Tribe!
The Vendetta Cartel Tarantula Tribe lives by the Feud; thereby prospective
Probates are forewarned that membership guarantees instant Friends and instant
Enemies!
Any prospective Probates who:
1) seek to improve their managerial insights/abilities under the counsel of
Hammer and other Vendetta Cartel members
2) desire to be active members of an Active Alliance that WILL NOT Dissolve in a
Few Months; building lasting friendships while enjoying Feuding with Common Enemies
3) who enjoy sending their gladiators to Tournaments and would strive to see
their manager name listed among the TV and TC winners in the Mailer Tourney
Newsletters as a member of the Vendetta Cartel
MUST DO THE FOLLOWING:
Send an Email to HammerDM@fastermail.com to introduce yourself and provide Hammer
with a short Bio of your managerial successes/failures and favorite/least favorite
fighting styles; with a listing of your active stable/stables for Hammer to verify in
the online newsletters.
Hammer will choose the 2 prospective Probates for membership in the Vendetta
Cartel Tarantula Tribe on the basis of who he decides will be most suited [to Hammer's
purposes as the T-Tribe Captain!] from among those responding to this All Arena Ad on
a first response/first acceptance or rejection basis!
-- Hammer; Vendetta Cartel Captain/WordSmith and WeaponSmith of the Vendetta
Cartel Tarantula Tribe
