DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings, Ardivent. I just started again this round and look at me...I'm
Duelmaster. Yeah! It's a small arena but the glory is still the same! League
Arcane rocks!
Floyd B. Rick
SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out ARDIVENT to see
what's new. Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy in all
ARDIVENT. He got the most challenges. (But what about proposals?) This Duelmaster
is like something else! FLOYD B. RICK stopped VIRGINAL CONCUBINE dead in hers
tracks! Who was the wiseguy that said ARDIVENT's Duelmaster was paying for drinks at
The Victory Tavern? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? People were asking me did REAGAN
REALLY challenge SILVER FURY? (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!)
It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but SILVER FURY wants me to write about
it since he was defeated by REAGAN. Satisfied?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. What a bummer! VIRGIL POODINSKI got
wasted by TALON! But with a 5-4-0, I guess DEATHTONGUE aren't too bummed. Fight,
fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Its been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Reagan -- You're such a pitiful little golem that I find myself feeling sorry for you
at all the wrong times. Such as when you're coming at me with a sword in your hand.
The results are horrific. -- Valley-Jo
Immersion Static -- I feel so inadequate. *I* am not made out of tecnitium, or any
other cool material, just your plain old basic flesh and blood. And you've scattered
a lot of that blood over the sands. -- Bernina Collin
P.S. I hate your style, and there are way to many of you around these days.
P.P.S. Is that what you get from a submersible pump in your well?
Talon -- Okay, you won. But I hope you've seriously blunted your claws on my stony
sides. -- Gneiss Guy
Big Dave Diode -- Listen, sparky, you may not realize it, but we humans don't like
being hit there. -- Flint Hills
P.S. Any of those "theres."
Well! I tell you what, the Beggar wasn't polite. As if! So I, you know, slapped
his hand. I mean, somebody had to! -- Debra Collin
30 July 2004
The total number of fights calculated was reported as 250 fights. This is a
misprint. It should have read "over 2,500 fights." -- Baphomet

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
