SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, VEASTIAN? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see RIBSPLITTER win a fight and gain 24 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, RIBSPLITTER
beat STILTZ and STILTZ lost 7 points. You're breakin' my heart. Due to absence, and
inability to defend the throne, DAPHNE CAMISADO has lost the Title of Duelmaster.
Start setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as
RIBSPLITTER takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh,
heh. The Dripping Blade, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do
they get this stuff? From VEASTIAN's trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. And what a stunning loss we have here,
boys and girls, BLOODLETTER of WIDOWMAKERS has added the final loss to his 8-5-0.
Tee hee! Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing
these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in VEASTIAN to get a drink than The Dripping
Blade! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city
of VEASTIAN. I feel much better now. Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
Daphne Camisado -- (looks her up and down) You can praise Kjarran till you're blue in
the face, but you're still a Shew. -- Tiro Cococo
Ethan El Keer -- And I hope Daphne has the confidence to say, as I do, "So what?
Being Shewish is something to be proud of." -- Stiltz
P.S. Good fight.
A Veteran Mercenary. (sigh) An old, gray-haired veteran. (deeper sigh) Aren't
there any YOUNG mercenaries? -- Carline, wishing for a more exciting send-off
Bloodletter -- Bad match for you, pussycat. -- Tiro Cuckoo
P.S. Which letter are you? A? B? C...?
Dismay -- Ack! The printer was sick on our fight. I'm dismayed. -- Vahnzur
P.S. I always knew the printer was one of "Hell's Pawns," as your team name has it.
why else would they call his apprentice a devil?
Noachian -- Looking at the records for Lady Mantle and Red Valerian, I'm surprised you
haven't retired them already. I wouldn't have, of course, but there are, perhaps
mercifully, few managers with my tolerance for such non-performance. Good luck with
the replacements if/when the time comes. -- Jorja
Carline -- Don't let my gray hair fool you, lady. A man's only as old as he feels,
and when I see a woman who can move the way you do, I feel about sixteen. How about I
escort you to the Isle, and along the way, we see what kind of fun we can have? --
Vargas Tarn
P.S. I'm not a Dwarf. I presume the Commission picked that race to describe me
because I have a beard. Blind idiots. It isn't a Dwarven type of beard. It's short.
And besides, other people than Dwarves wear beards.

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
