SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TOBIR games. SNOW LEOPARD caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested CULT MEMBER and was awarded 14
points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, HONEY PUP put down
PUMA, causing him to lose 8 points of recognition in the process. Although BOWSER
made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious ZERO THE
HERO. Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights
without pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TOBIR. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms
the knowledge that many fighters are after PUSSYFOOT. Watch your back!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Dead Man Walking -- (puzzled whine) I don't understand. (sniffing strongly) You're
dead, I can tell. Finest kind of bones. (sniffing again) Just the thing to chew
on. (whine) I don't see why I should be hit for wanting to chew on you. It's my
nature. I'm a DOG, after all. And YOU shouldn't be the one to hit me. You're dead!
(long-suffering sigh) This is all so confusing. -- Bowser
The Thing -- (soft growl) You're unnatural, and you know we don't like things that
aren't natural. Us dogs--real dogs, not (sneer) toy poodles or something like--us
dogs are the bottom line in natural. Kind of a test of naturalness, you might say.
So, when you stepped out on the sand, in spite of other indications, I figured, okay,
it moves, and if it moves, I can bite it. But you're a ROCK or something! You're
not supposed to be moving, if you're a rock. And if you're not a rock, I should be
able to bite you, and the Great Dog knows I TRIED. So you're not-a-rock and a rock,
at the same time, and that means you're unnatural. May the Great Dog smite you for
this offense against the Proper Order. -- Honey Pup
Visigoth -- They tell me you're some kind of break-and-enter person. A burglar, or
at least an intruder. Obviously, dog meat. Stop dancing out of the way. --
Pussyfoot
P.S. Yes, I DO have pussy's foot. And the rest of pussy, too. Very tasty.
Flavius Maximus -- I didn't mean to say you were a fine opponent. That's just some
damned scribe putting words in my mouth. I meant to say you stopped too soon. I was
just getting started! -- Juno
Marcus Antonius -- (whine, cringe) -- Dim Hairy Thing
Who is this Skippy who does well in tournaments but does not appear in the arena? We
would welcome his company, and that of his teammates. -- Leeta, The Doghouse
Honey Pup -- Who do I think I am? I'm myself, you mangy mutt. So I'm ambitious to
make something more of myself, I suppose I can't expect a dog to understand that.
Too bad. You could probably use a little ambition yourself. -- Dacio Torranz, an
Ambitious Guard
Juno -- You were no help, either! -- Gordos Harcinell, an Honest Merchant who does
not belong in the arena

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;

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:

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!

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
