SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of ZENSU! Once again I've been called out of retirement for
my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with BELA LUGOSI? He actually
beat ZENSU's EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight.
Laughs were big at AS FAR AS SIAM while they watched PISTON HURRICANE clobber BLONDE
GRENADE. She lost 12 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.
Har har har! Did THE MAD CARROT wimp out, or just get lazy? Anyway, he's not
Duelmaster anymore. I'm sure ZENSU is excited about SPECTRUM, the new Duelmaster
from AS FAR AS SIAM. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Advice
to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. How long have I been here? I got people to see,
places to go...
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end
of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! I don't want to
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
The Mad Carrot -- Indeed, you're totally insane! What I can see of you down there. --
Arnie El Shew
P.S. They tell me there's a disease that Dwarves get when they're forced to stay
above ground and in the sun a lot, which makes them turn orange. Did you end up with
that? The arena is not a good place for Dwarves generally, except maybe the Dark
Arena.
My, that Ambitious Guard is a big one, isn't he? Do you suppose he's ambitious to be
Shewish? -- Blonde Grenade
Okay, I have nothing against a little Darkness here and there, it makes the Lightness
more obvious and easier to appreciate. But there are limits, and I think this Cult
Member's gang have exceeded them. I call for a jihad. -- Dark Lerona
I seem to have acquired a Captured Orc. Whoopee. Do you know that when you defeat
one, they make you take it home and feed it for two weeks? And these Orcs EAT. Gods,
they stuff themselves. -- Jenipher
An Embezzling Scribe? What a wimp. -- O. Poste
P.S. I bet he didn't even embezzle more than the petty cash.
O. Poste -- The proper punishment of embezzlers is a matter of principle. The total
amount embezzled is immaterial. -- Vanchen d'Arens, "Userous Merchant"
O. Poste -- What a Shew is doing in Mordant is LEAVING. -- Hollon Tegra,
"Mordant Deserter"

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
