SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody,
watch out for GORTHAUR, who flew up 15 points in the rankings after mashing CAPTAIN
INSANO like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the
top ten was CAPTAIN INSANO, who dropped 8 points after a disappointing (to say the
least) bout with GORTHAUR. Try as hard as the WATER DECK stable might, they were
unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) GYRADOS before this week's fights.
It's a proud day for the FACES OF DOOM stable, as their warrior, GORTHAUR, ascended
the Duelmaster's throne. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this
stuff?
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad AUSSIE KILLERS? Big bad AUSSIE KILLERS. Big bad AUSSIE KILLERS. ZORPUNT's
afraid of the big bad AUSSIE KILLERS. Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny,
but catch FACES OF DOOM's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at
running from AUSSIE KILLERS. Well just about everybody wants a piece of CAPTAIN
INSANO, who was this week's most challenged warrior.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.
Well, there's the manager of the ZORPUNT giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that
'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy Report.
Good luck in next week's fights. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos).
Now that I've got you worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown
Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Gorthaur -- Ah, we each get a chance at you, eh? In a small arena like this, that is
no surprise. After all, who else is there to fight? I'm glad you were quick, but I
really could have done without the initial groin shot. That ruined my whole
strategy. -- Tombo Lark
Triskaidekaphobia -- You are a GREAT teacher! Thanks! -- Limpette
P.S. And, of course, for the win, as well. Good things to have, wins. And hard to
come by.
Boo -- (bristling with outrage) You had NO BUSINESS to go leaping around and yelling
"boo" whenever I was getting set to fight seriously. It isn't like I'm some kind of
GOOSE, you know. -- Joe Poole the moderately offended
P.S. Hey, so I'm a sore loser today, sue me.
Great White Shark -- May you get sand in your gears, you THING. -- Teller Flete
P.S. If I could use my REAL height, this would have gone differently.
Barkhaotai, Guard with Ambitions -- I salute your effort, sir. I believe you are
ill-suited to the gladiatorial life, but then, so many of us are. Good fortune to
you. -- Pine Leaf
Pine Leaf -- (awkwardly) I, well, I just couldn't keep on hitting a pretty little
woman like you. It seemed wrong. -- Barkhaotai
Water Deck -- It would be the courteous thing for you to contribute a keg or two for
our monthly wake. -- the warriors of the Dark Arena

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;

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
