SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out ARVAT to see
what's new. Too bad, SARATOGA GLORY, but CALL THE PRIEST was just too good to be
stopped. MVP award for BOATMAN KU? FISHERMAN'S WHARF's proud of him after beating
DANGEROUS CRIMINAL and getting 16 points. Talk about yer major upsets! TASSALTER's
match with KILLING MACHINE cost him a loss of 7 points! What a putz! SAVORY fights
so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title. No one said he
was a genius... Was that a tear I saw in STARBREAKER's eye, as he took over
Duelmastership? And wasn't M. CHARDINEE fit to be tied! I hear the top team insists
all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR
photos.
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. DEVIL ADVOCATES was the most avoided team. Is a 739-438-39 record
really that scary? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are CALL THE PRIEST? DEVIL
ADVOCATES, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an
invitation!
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All ARVAT ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Savory -- Boy, whoever named YOU didn't know what side was up! You're the most UN-
Savory person I've met this week. We didn't even exchange names and favorite drinks
before you up and hit me on the head! Talk about unfriendly.... -- Baskervole
Tad Deville -- Hmm, it seems appropriate that you're sinister in more ways than one.
And so long-winded.... (sigh) I really didn't need this today (groan), especially
not after last night. -- Tassalter
Killing Machine -- If you must, but not on my boat, please. Too hard to keep it
steady! -- Boatman Ku
Oh, cheese, the Fratsfa Slave's a Shagornan elf! I think that's rotten of those
Fratsfans, to go enslaving an elf just because he's southern. And then selling him
to the Commission for a standby fighter, that's REALLY rotten, because he has NO
chance to graduate or get out of the system except by dying. I think we should
protest. -- Loggerhead
Ah, the Userous Merchant is a Karnhorn. Doesn't that just FIGURE? I mean, the stuff
you hear about the Karnhorns.... -- Little Rainbow
Stylish -- Thanks. Even though I couldn't keep the title, it was fun to have it the
once. -- Baskervole
Just to clear up any misunderstandings, I am NOT a Karnhorn. If your precious
Commission could ever get this "race" business clear, they would realize that I am
Ferencian, or at least they would understand that I and all Ferencians, along with
your filthy Karnhorns, and the despotic Serevadans are all of the Eastern race. --
Mahmartol, a Merchant of Vanzhar
P.S. And your definition of "usury" is ridiculous.
Pretty Wild -- I would be glad to teach you more. I know some excellent phalanx
tactics and I have worked with chariots, as well. -- Turio Saldane, Veteran Mercenary
Solar Man -- It's part of a deep plot. -- Lovenar, Spymaster of Arvat
Savory -- The rules of my guild prevent me teaching anything to non members. -- Jon
Deloe, an Assassin by trade, "Convicted" by accident

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

hear from anyone who remembers me, as well as any Alliance that is seeking to add
