SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt NIANIA will ever be the same. And let's see, PROWESS fought ABALONEA and
gained 17 points and contributed to KNOT WHOLE's 1-1-0. YELLOW PIKE has lost to
KHALHUMS DWARF, falling 8 points, while helping make THE GOLDEN FISH a 2-3-0 turn.
The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and TOOFLESS remains NIANIA's
top warrior for another turn. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last
night, cramped under the table at Jim's Tap Room?
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. RESURRECTION has cause to stand
tall, as they were NIANIA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team
to beat. And avoiding RESURRECTION more than any other team we find GLORY BOUND
TROLLS. NIANIA, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? Is it really true that NIANIA has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, NIANIA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Ed. -- Can you or anybody else answer this question? I heard you can move a team
from a fast arena to a slow arena. Any truth? -- The Ice Man
P.S. Also can you make sure the Ice Man is now the manager of Big Country, not
Wally.
From fast to slow, regular transfer or slow transfer. From slow to regular
transfer or slow transfer. From regular transfer to slow transfer. A slow
transfer arena is the end of the line. -- Ed.
P.S. So noted.
Sultan -- Well I did at least get Constantine to ADM. Look forward to the challenge
up in A.D.M. -- Ice Man, Big Country
All -- I will be back after the mail-in. My manager agreed to give me another
chance. I am just new to fighting. I'm a lover not a fighter. -- Lou Lou
Yellow Pike -- Congrats on your win. But I want to try you this time. No offense.
But you teach very well. -- Billy
Abalonea -- I'm coming for you this time. I need to get up to the top to try it out.
-- Brutus
P.S. If I lose, it won't bother me. You got my respect either way.
Analira -- The challenge you get from this time does not reflect how I feel about
you. I want to get close to Tootless. Billy can't do it. Maybe I will have a
better chance at beating him. -- Sorry Junk
P.S. Can I get my name changed to Buddy Lee?
Prowess -- Then I'd better hope you don't meet an Aardvark? -- Abalonea
Geroge Krag, Master of Kung-Fu and possibly other arts -- You flatter me, sir. What
you think of as promise is less, um, positive. I prefer to avoid unarmed combat,
where a woman must necessarily be at a disadvantage. It is an unpleasant fact that
most men are stronger than most women. So I will pass on your invitation to engage
in the "sport" of unarmed combat, but thanks for offering. -- Nellistha
Prowess -- (panting slightly) No...no, tower over me any time. Especially in that
RAVISHING chainmail bikini. (tongue hanging out, eyes glazed) I love it. -- Yellow
Pike
Sorry Junk -- Well, if that mean new manager you've got DOES send you to the dark
place, we'll get together to spring you from it and help persuade the arenamaster
(that old stick!) to fake your death. -- Abalonea and the rest of the girls at The
Golden Fish
Betty -- Managers are the pits, aren't they? I know, in my more rational moments--
yes, I DO have some of those!--that it isn't YOUR fault I failed to learn from our
fight. It's...it's the COMMISSION'S fault, yeah, that's it. They're out to GET me,
surest thing. But I might turn the tables on them one of these days.... -- Lubaya
We're working only from the newsletter today, so if we miss important points in our
fights, bear with it. The fight reports will get here eventually, I suppose. --
Lubaya and the rest of The Golden Fish
Toofless -- (looking him up and down and wincing) You really ARE, aren't you? Did
your manager do it? They can be so cruel, sometimes, in the name of "eliminating
distractions." I guess it works.... -- Lubaya
Formidable -- As usual. (flutters eyelashes) Am I sufficiently subdued? -- Abalonea
Okay, so maybe it's some kind of prejudice on my part, but I really ENJOY
overpowering M. Chardinee. Damned half-and-half creature. Why does he go around
acting so superior all the time, anyway? -- Analira
Prowess -- (panting some more) Lay it on me, you great big gorgeous hunk of
womanhood! -- Yellow Pike
Gods, that Veteran Mercenary is a HORRID person! I wish I'd killed him! -- Nellistha
Analira -- Ferencians are known for their anti-elf bias, but I had hoped that here in
the more cosmopolitan Alastari, people would put aside the prejudices and see me for
what I am, a superb--in all ways--specimen of the half-elven male. -- Laymoness
Longleaf, a.k.a. M. Chardinee
Nellistha -- You're not a bad specimen, all things considered. I was serious in my
offer to find you a better, ahem, employment. There are men in Carloi who would be
delighted to have an exotic piece like you in their hareems. Hmm, perhaps I should
talk to your manager.... -- Korvoskol Turo, Veteran Mercenary
Pip -- (cringe) -- Jenj, Fratsfa Slave
Upup -- I could not bring myself to make a serious effort against someone fighting
under a name such as yours. -- Wellondry, known as the Osksi Noble
Needles -- You'll be hearing from the Thieves' Guild about this. -- Zag the Dip,
Convicted, but still a Thief

Manager who qualifies under the following conditions:

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!]

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

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.)

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

Cartel Tarantula Tribe on the basis of who he decides will be most suited [to
