DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
And a last stint as title-holder, which is kinda like hod-carrier or something
here. Just a job. My thanks to the Venomous Concubine for the win, but I am NOT her
secret admirer. No way!
Morning star? Never think it!

SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
MURSKA. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for RAZZLE DAZZLE, who flew up 20 points in the rankings after
mashing EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like
a basher in the top ten was OISAN, who dropped 2 points after a disappointing (to say
the least) bout with BLUE EYES. In front of all the crowds, BARRISTER took the
Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. Advice to bashers--never
force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid CHILDREN OF LLYR, please raise you
hand. Wow. Does MURSKA really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny,
but catch THE BEARS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at
running from CHILDREN OF LLYR.
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). TAKE COVER defied all odds and slew HIGH
ELF in the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as HIGH ELF's
meat is notoriously tough. For those of you who missed it, Death showed up, grabbed
BRANGWYN by the ear and took her away to a place where she won't need a coat. Here's
some advice: warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail
to the Isle.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. 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
Megalodon -- What a rurprise to see you here! As if there was anyone ELSE for either
of us to fight. I'd say it was a good fight, but really, how could *I* tell? You've
got twice my experience, so YOU can tell ME. -- Morpeth
Blue Eyes -- If I was a guy, or were a guy, I might find your eyes attractive even as
you defeat me. As a woman, this is not the case. -- Brangwyn
The Fratsfa Slave wasn't much of a challenge. Is he really Fratsfan? I thought they
were supposed to be some kind of hotshot warriors down there. -- Oisan
I drew the Mordant Deserter. He was probably glad to get away from there. I felt bad
beating on him, but things would probably be worse for him if he was still in Mordant,
so I guess I can live with it. He lived with it, anyway. -- Cu-Cadal

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
