SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to NIANIA once again! What's with YELLOW PIKE? He actually beat
KNOT WHOLE's PROWESS, and walked away with 13 more points from the fight. Laughs
were big at THE GOLDEN FISH while they watched YELLOW PIKE clobber PROWESS. She lost
12 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Try as she might,
LUBAYA wasn't good enough at persuading TOOFLESS to step down from the Duelmaster's
throne... Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was RESURRECTION. Management must be dealin', as the boys at GLORY
BOUND TROLLS ain't reelin'! RESURRECTION's mad!
Warriors of NIANIA unite. You have only your games to lose! Is it my
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so
gloriously!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. NIANIA is
a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't want to
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Abalonea -- Modest dimensions, you say? But first in Webster's, and in my eyes, too.
-- Prowess
Tolderst -- Acceptable challenge, but not so the outcome. -- Formidable
Betty -- Okay, my performance was disgusting. "Fell backward onto the sand."
Cheese. I'm embarrassed--and glad I was fighting a woman at the time, incidentally.
Some men see an invitation in anything! But there was no cause for you to withhold
skills. I went out there and took my lumps, without complaint. I DESERVE skills.
Where are they? -- Lubaya, prepared to complain about this
Sorry Junk -- (earnestly) Remind your new manager that a loss to a warrior of my
greater experience doesn't mean YOU are worthless, my friend. Look at the skills you
learned! -- Abalonea, the better button
That Kung-Fu Master is just the cutest hunk! I love to watch him move. -- Nellistha
Formidable -- Indeed you are impressive. Not, however, as impressive as the female
Prow. -- Analira
Prowess -- You impress my female teammates with your female Prow, but that's NOTHING
to the effect it has on me. The mere sight of that peerless prominence leaves me
stunned, breathless...a raging, uncoordinated mass of mindless hormones. Gotta love
it! -- Yellow Pike
Sorry Junk and Betty -- Certainly, I would be glad to give Betty a rematch. I'm here
any time. -- Analira
Nellistha -- You do well with a sword, little chickadee, but can you defend yourself
in (leer) unarmed combat? I would be glad to give you private lessons. You show
promise. -- Geroge Krag, Kung-Fu Master of Niania
Abalonea -- Superior prow aside, you're the one that won. Well done. -- Prowess
Yellow Pike -- And a BIG one, at that! Yet, somehow, I towered over you. Hope you
didn't mind. -- Prowess
Toofless -- You won, you win. I won't bother you anymore. You are too good for me.
I tried four times four different ways. You won them all. You are one mean nasty
troll. You have got mad skills, buddy. Hope you graduate soon, very sono. -- Billy
Abalonea -- I can't win them all. I try too many different things to prove myself.
I only have an 11 wit. But the only things that saves me from dying in the dark
place is I learn really well says my manager. Congrats. -- Sorry Junk
Luaya -- Sorry about your luck. Hopefully I will be out of here very soon. My
manager says I'm not good enough. What the #*$& does he know. I'm mad as hell at
the world. It must be the P.M.S. -- Betty
Ooze-O -- I had to try you to see if I could beat you but I found out some good
things this time. I like the way you teach. Hopefully now I will be able to take a
break. We will see what my manager says. -- Brutus
All -- Lou Lou is now gone hopefully. She won't win a fight she should. And she
don't learn good. One skill a fight. Bye-bye Lou Lou. Good riddance girl. -- The
Ice Man, mgr. Big Country
30 July 2004
The total number of fights calculated was reported as 250 fights. This is a
misprint. It should have read "over 2,500 fights." -- Baphomet

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 dueling land 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
