SPY REPORT
Good day, in IAYE a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor. So
bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. And let's see, WILLETA fought
TRUSTWORTHY SCRIBE and gained 14 points and contributed to RED DOG GANG's 3-2-0.
DARK CHOCOLATE has lost to M. CHARDINEE, falling 12 points, while helping make RED
DOG GANG a 3-2-0 turn. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, THE
ROCK has lost the title of Duelmaster. And not without some honor, SONORA SARA now
claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of IAYE. By the way, was that our
Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at The Dragon's Blood Inn?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. Is it really true that IAYE has
more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Well, I'm burning daylight here in IAYE and I've a long road ahead
of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in IAYE again, farewell-- Alarond the
Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Xoxoxo -- I find it really strange, that you, a warrior of Love Letters, are a neuter
golem. Can you explain this? Because I'm really confused. -- Gissanniah
P.S. And by your id number (the study of which is much neglected but repays effort):
4488, you give the impression of being more interested in cloning than other methods
of reproduction.
C-Cup -- Really! Do you honestly believe that men are so shallow? (pause for
thought) Retract that question, and substitute, Do you honestly think that a mere C
will catch a man's eye when there are orcs around? -- Freeda
The Rock -- The willpower with which you resisted my dark lures is amazing. Not
necessarily good, but amazing anyway. -- Dark Chocolate
That M. Chardinee is a wily one! For a hotly contested minute he attacks me with his
epee, giving me a chance to get into the rhythm of parrying it, and then whammo,
minute two he starts using his offhand shortsword! Who told him he could do that?
He did a lot of damage with that thing! And then, when he had me reeling and so on,
he switched back to his epee--damn thing's nothing but a sharpened knitting needle,
you know--why, he just...well, he didn't KNIT me, I can tell you that! -- Sonora
Sara, planning something revengeful for the Chardinee, maybe involving habanero
peppers....
Double-D -- And does that make me love you? No. -- Willeta
P.S. You should be an orc with a frontage like that.

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
