SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
RODEKI brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, KING'S KREW, since COLOR
ME SUAVE took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're
all terribly impressed to see THIRD BASE SPOCK win a fight and gain 16 points,
terribly. Tsk, tsk, HANDSOME DOES beat RED and RED lost 9 points. You're breakin'
my heart. GEORGE STARK challenged RODEKI's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And
it's out with the old, in with the new, as GEORGE STARK takes the Title and last
week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks
and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
What's the big D? HIGHER PURPOSE was the most avoided team? Bunch of lily
livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And it looks like CLOWNING AROUND avoided
them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph.
SUSHEE SU was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. Now look at this. RONALD MCDONALD challenged down 25
against DELVERS' THE MOLE. What a weasel! And sorry to say, RONALD MCDONALD
overcame THE MOLE, leaving a bad feeling with the crowd. I think exploitive snob is
the term I'm looking for. And we have BOZO in a challenge, going down 8 points for
the fight. Guess what? I thought BOZO showed great skill and promise when he
overcame SUSHEE SU. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of RODEKI. I feel much better now. Paste this one in your
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
We don't seem to have our fights around, so just a few comments from the This Week's
Fight listing this time. More creative insults and plaints next time, I almost
promise. -- Harby, Delvers
Adashir -- It says here that you "devastated" me. No, don't think so. You aren't
bad for an Orc, all those muscles, and the really impressive tusks, and so on. BUT,
I'm an Orc, too. I've seen it all before. So, okay, you may have won the fight, and
one-sidedly at that, but still, I was NOT devastated. -- Sushee Su
Limpy Two-Screws -- I most SINCERELY hope that the next time your manager tightens
your damned screws, he gets them SO tight that your ears slant. -- John Rose
Third Base Spock -- What's not to believe? Of COURSE I bested you. I'm best! -- The
Mole
Delores -- Ah, women just can't resist me. They're always looking for a chance to
overpower me and have their wicked ways with me. And I love it. -- Handsome Does
Red -- Don't you see what I am? Don't you KNOW you should not DARE to defeat me? --
Handsome Is
Handsome Is and Handsome Does -- We know you lost big because your facial hair is
still peach fuzz. So don't take this wrong, it was a fun time to beat you. That's
the buzz. -- Red and Delores of King's Krew
Red Skeleton --
Wherever you go,
We want you to know,
The Dr. and I will always be,
The biggest pain of thee.
Maybe we will show
How you too can grow
And even be free
Of our monstrosity. -- Dr. Hook and Kristine
All -- I was a poet and didn't know it. -- George Stark

Manager who qualifies under the following conditions:

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!]

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

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.

Cartel Tarantula Tribe on the basis of who he decides will be most suited [to
