SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt CLIFFHOME will ever be the same. DU BASHERS stable has parlayed this turn's
2-3-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings. This brings them up to 7th place. Good
work, guys! And let's see, PEDRO fought MORDANT DESERTER and gained 14 points and
contributed to BOY O'S' 2-1-1. FOAD VI has lost to MISS JULY, falling 10 points,
while helping make DU BASHERS a 2-3-0 turn. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster
have failed, and STEVEN SCIMITAR remains CLIFFHOME's top warrior for another turn.
By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the table at
The Choking Ogre?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the JINDA-BAN stable was the most avoided
team this turn. Come on CLIFFHOME, what are you afraid of? And avoiding JINDA-BAN
more than any other team we find BOY O'S. CLIFFHOME, are we going to accept, or
respect this sort of thing? Well, sports fans, take notice that MISS JULY from THE
LOST SOULS was CLIFFHOME's most challenged warrior this turn. In a brave attempt,
NOR'EASTER from DU BASHERS challenged up 23 points to fight RUNABOUT from the
JINDA-BAN stable. NOR'EASTER perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he overcame
RUNABOUT and ended up with 62 recognition points. BOB, ETERNAL, of SANDS OF TIME had
better have a good reason for challenging down 15 points in a TV challenge which he
won. I thought BOB, ETERNAL, showed great skill and promise when he overcame
KORRIBIE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
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. A brave warrior does not carry a
red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your
swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

PERSONAL ADS
Stimpy -- Bashers? You want Bashers? I've got bashers, lots of them. Of course, I
think I may be the only manager who runs them any more... (almost, anyways)
Unfortunately, I'll be taking a short hiatus from Cliffhome. On the positive side,
Jacky turned out to be exactly what I wanted out of him, so he'll be returning. The
Lordlings of Yore will be heading back to Yore, never to return to the arena. --
Assurnasirbanipal
Runabout -- Thanks to you, Assur gave me a long term contract! I'll have to start
working out with weights, but we all do what we must. -- Jacky
Bob, Eternal -- (peering down and speaking in a horrified whisper) Did you shrink?
If that's what eternal does, I don't think I want any. -- Korribie
Jacky -- VF -- The way it is, if you're just a little thing like me, you have to be
ready to LEAP forward the instant you get the gree light. -- Runabout
P.S. But I'm sorry I ran over your toe.
P.P.S. Next time, stay ON the curb instead of in front of it.
Dark Typhosion -- I gotta tell ya, bub, someone as dark as you shouldn't wear that
shade of maroon. You need to get Debby Tonte to color-drape you. -- Dingil Bill
Lordlings of Yore -- It's EASY to win when you've got a gang. (envious sigh) I've
never managed to hide my henchmen on the sands (how do you do it?), and the
Arenamaster always throws them out. -- Harandur
Mia tyl Dena -- I think this counts as "dues." Good try on your part, though. Next
time we meet on the sands, who knows how it might go? -- Jingaree
Steven Scimitar -- My pleasure, sir. -- Korribie
Crapola Crayon -- Ah, there are managers like that. "Imitation is the sincerest form
of flattery," and so on. Let's do something other than fight when next we meet.
Maybe start with dinner, dancing.... -- Korribie
D'ark Cataan -- It's only bad luck to barbeque a unicorn if you use teriyaki sauce
instead of REAL barbeque sauce. -- Jingaree
P.S. With teriyaki sauce, it's not bad LUCK, either, it's food poisoning.
Stimpy -- I believe Assurnassurbanapal has cornered the market on bashers. -- Nick,
Jinda-Ban
Dang! I missed last turn :( -- Stimpy
Mertzie -- Welcome back! -- Stimpy

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
