                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of KATI-TEI!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Biff!  Pow!  KATI-TEI watched with 
glee as OLD SCHOOL got knocked off top spot by WANDERERS!  Up 'n down.  Up 'n down.  
Rankings always change.  Up 'n down.  I think I'm gonna be...  Well, LOOD FOOD's 5th 
moved them up to 3-1-0 place.  What's with MAD ONE?  He actually beat GLAD TO MEAT 
YOU's CHICKEN TIGHT JEANS, and walked away with 19 more points from the fight.  
Laughs were big at LOOD FOOD while they watched EGGS OVERLY EASY clobber RUBIX 
CUBESTEAK.  She lost 16 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  
KATI-TEI, set your sights on M. CHARDINEE.  He'll be happy to entertain all requests 
after defeating PORTERHOUSE ARREST.  JEHU looked pretty Duelmasterlike as he took 
KATI-TEI's top spot with 90 points.  Now, what will PORTERHOUSE ARREST do?  Wouldn't 
it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some team is looking into 
the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  
KATI-TEI thinks OLD SCHOOL and their 27-43-1 is too much!  If at first you don't 
succeed, give up...  In my day, no team with a 27-43-1 would scare me off!  What's 
the problem, LOOD FOOD?  What do people see in SATURN?  His 7-17-0?  WANDERERS ain't 
talkin', but he's got 38 points.  I hate going to the effort of writing about the 
kind of fights that SPORK gets in.  It fights people like PARNIAN, 10 points below.  
I thought SPORK showed great skill and promise when it subdued PARNIAN.  All right, 
so I slept through it!  Big deal!   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  How long have I been here?  I got people to see, places to 
go...   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  Are 
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm writing it 
before you read it.  Oh, well.  Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and 
good luck.  Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

Our fights have gone astray, so here are a mere few words based on the on-line
newsletter. -- Leeta Wanderers

Rubix Cubesteak -- Ah...I do like a good bar-be-cube.  Tasty, very tasty.  (burp)  I
guess I ate a little too fast for politeness, but I was really hungry, and that
sauce...superb. -- Jehu

Chicken Tight Jeans -- Isn't it amazing how fast you can get out of those when a few
ice cubes are applied to the proper spots? -- Bethanne Grace

The Veal Deal -- (queasy look)  I don't think that was properly cooked.  Or maybe it
was over-done.  But it definitely doesn't sit well with me. -- Saturn

Spocka the Hutt -- You...you flattened me!  The flying dust came off my wings, and
I'll have to get them completely re-done.  And...the wing salon can't give me an
appointment for days and DAYS!  Whatever shall I do? -- Flutterlee

Cuddly Kahlua -- Tha' wash almosh' nishe.  Ver' cuddly an' shtuff. -- Parnian

                            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
