SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out MALCORN to see
what's new. MVP award for BATTERY? STARBASE 5's proud of him after beating STALKING
HORSE and getting 17 points. Talk about yer major upsets! WOODEN ARROW's match with
PHANTOM LORD cost him a loss of 14 points! And I was just getting used to the
ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome WOODWALKER. Aren't GREENWARDENS
proud. (Oh, my.) I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours
sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? POLITICALY INCORRECT was MALCORN's most avoided team.
Is there some award for that? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are TRIPLE CROWN?
POLITICALY INCORRECT, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to
accept an invitation!
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Its been
really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Little Current -- Yes? Where DO you bathe, then? I want to avoid that bathhouse for
sure. -- Woodwalker
P.S. Join me tomorrow evening to take some of those loudmouthed fans down a dark
alley and explain a few things to them?
Charismatic -- I see it all now, so clearly! My task is to scare skills out of the
brush so OTHER gladiators can nab them. A humble job, but my own. -- Stalking Horse
P.S. We also serve who only stand and teach.
A Karnhorn spy! I KNEW they were up to something! I said so to Jorja--"The
Karnhorns are up to something," I said. She didn't believe me--I can tell, no matter
how often she smiles and says she'll "look into it right away"--but the Karnhorns are
NOT about to settle down and live at peace with their neighbors, which is to say,
with us. There are dark plots afoot! Now that I've subdued this spy, let's take him
down into a cellar (the alleys are too crowded) and question him! -- Greengrove,
looking for accomplices, er, allies....
Phantom Lord -- Hmm, your manager must really hate you. -- Wooden Arrow
P.S. Re: the weapon.
P.P.S. For a phantom, you're tough.
The Embezzling Scribe isn't a Karnhorn, but he might EASILY be in their pay! After
all, if he was not over-fond of money, he wouldn't have embezzled, would he? But
he's such a helpless type, I'm sure he'd respond to a gentle approach. Sympathetic
and understanding. We should try asking him to help us with our inquiries into the
Karnhorn plot. -- Falling Rain
Mortikhan -- This is terribly exciting! Tell me more. -- Wooden Arrow
P.S. I do lots of plain walking; the woods around here are no place for horses.
P.P.S. Actually, I have no idea what you're talking about. Very mysterious.
Lil E. Tee -- Yeah. -- Greengrove
Ta Di Ta, Master of Kung Fu -- Of COURSE I develop my strength of body! That's what
gladiating is ABOUT. Cheese, some people just don't have a clue. -- Woodwalker
Congratulations to the graduating Ruthless. -- All the Greenwardens
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
