DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ZORPUNT. Like, WATER DECK had to be so
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by 13 YRS & COUNTING! Way to go 13 YRS
& COUNTING! MVP award for GREAT WHITE SHARK? AUSSIE KILLERS' proud of it after
beating TELLER FLETE and getting 11 points. Talk about yer big time losers!
STONEFISH got smashed by CAPTAIN INSANO, and lost 8 points! This Duelmaster is like
something else! GYRADOS stopped VETERAN MERCENARY dead in his tracks! Is the
Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. AUSSIE KILLERS was ZORPUNT's most avoided team. Is there some
award for that? I don't know what FACES OF DOOM's been doing. They certainly
haven't been accepting many fights from AUSSIE KILLERS, that's fer sher. Like, is
TOMBO LARK popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of ZORPUNT! He's got
a 9-19-0, is that good? GORTHAUR must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair
fights. He TV challenged TOMBO LARK. 9 is a big difference. (Well, that's what
they tell me.) I thought GORTHAUR showed great skill and promise when he subdued
TOMBO LARK. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job,
that's what!!!
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. I had a fun
time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Gorthaur -- Curse you! If I was able to use my REAL height, you wouldn't have done
that. You wouldn't have been ABLE to do that, because I'm really two feet taller.
The Commission makes me crouch down like this; it has something to do with "not
distorting the curve." As if I cared! But Leeta makes me cooperate. Curse her, too.
-- Teller Flete
Captain Insano -- You really ARE insane. -- Tombo Lark, panting and staggering
Tentacruel -- That's JUST like a man. You find somebody smaller than you are,
somebody you can push around, and it's "off the deck" with her. And then you laughed
when the water spoiled my party dress. Insult to injury! -- Limpette
Stonefish -- (sigh) You'd think I would know better by now, wouldn't you? It's just
no use at all to go beating on a stone. -- Pine Leaf
What are we doing with an armed Rirorni here? And a big one, in a position of trust
and authority! This could be serious. -- Joe Poole
Joe Poole -- Your anti-Rirorni bigotry is showing. I am a responsible member of this
community hoping to better myself. You might do well to follow my example. --

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
