                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Ruthless, that's what I call handsome!  I don't know how it happened, don't know 
if I could ever do it again, but what a fight!  I'm simply thrilled, and I hope you 
enjoy your stay on the Isle of the Eye.  Not much room to run there, and I suspect 
that could be hard on a horse, but still, if you live up to your namesake, you'll find 
something.  May there be good going ahead for you, old friend.

                                     Woodwalker

                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for MALCORN.  Too bad, TRIPLE CROWN, but 
GREENWARDENS was just too good to be stopped.  Don't you think the Duelmaster is 
being unfair?  I think WOODWALKER should let LITTLE CURRENT be Duelmaster for a 
while, without fighting about it.  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?  Like, is FALLING RAIN popular, or what?  She was 
challenged the most in all of MALCORN!  She's got a 2-1-0, is that good?  For sure, I 
was holding my breath when I found out WILL ING challenged FALLING RAIN.  After all, 
haven't FUNKY FOLK and GREENWARDENS had a long standing duel in MALCORN?  It wasn't a 
spectacular fight, or anything, but FALLING RAIN wants me to write about it since she 
was bested by WILL ING.  Satisfied?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All MALCORN ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  WOODWALKER bloodfeuded (is that a word?) LITTLE CURRENT for 
revenge over some guy's bad fortune.  Was it really worth it?  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 gotta leave.  MALCORN is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!  
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

Charismatic -- Is there something in the air today that causes problems for horses?  
Some kind of pollen, maybe?  Are they defoliating the cotton in the field behind your 
stable?  Whatever, *I* enjoyed that fight. -- Greengrove

Battery -- Assault and.  Ouch! -- Stalking Horse, now more of a limping horse

Phantom Lord -- Well, I know that some people can only be shot with wooden arrows, 
just like some can only be shot with silver.  You're definitely not on the "wooden" 
list. -- Wooden Arrow

Will Ing -- Short for Willa or maybe Willhemina?  Tough luck on the weapon, but 'spect 
you'll be doing better--for you, worse for me--next time we meet. -- Falling Rain

Wooden Arrow -- I've picked up an old saying since I've been in your world, if you 
wanted to know my mission, I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.  I don't think 
we want that, seeing Phantom Lord wouldn't have any one else to play with.  Although I 
must admit, I find it slightly difficult to keep under wraps, knowing there is a very 
curious Wooden Arrow out there.  But you are just a mere horse, are you not?  One who 
"plainly" walks?  And all this time, I thought you shape changed!  Why a "Wooden" 
Arrow, I dont know, I would have chosen titanium...  -- Mortikhan

Wooden Arrow -- I'm sure my manager doesnt hate me.  He tells me that he wants me to 
meet his friends in the Dark Arena or something like that.  Sounds fun!  Want to come 
along? -- Phantom Lord

Mortikhan -- Tsk, tsk.  We do not share our studies with our subjects!  If I find that 
any info has leaked, you'll find yourself "plane" walking, right into a black hole,... 
never to return! -- Burk the cyborg

Hail to the Duelmaster Woodwalker! -- Triple Crown

The Governator -- You can come out of your hole now.  Ruthless has graduated. -- 
Triple Crown

Greenwardens -- Thank you. -- Ruthless, yet appreciative

Stalking Horse -- Very clever indeed.  Too bad Green grove didn't follow your lead. -- 
Charismatic

Funky Folk -- Rough first turn.  Going for that star team? -- Sultan, mgr. of Triple 
Crown

                            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
