SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ARDIVENT! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. VALLEY-JO caught the eye of many in
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested SOLARIS and was awarded 17 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, VALLEY-JO put down SOLARIS,
causing him to lose 13 points of recognition in the process. Although BOBBI made a
valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious FLOYD B. RICK.
No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position
using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps?
Many and various are the arts of battle. In ARDIVENT "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers
the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
The girls are as pretty in ARDIVENT as ever I remembered them....and the
fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I
keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till
next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different
story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Working only from the on-line newsletter, here are a few personals to make your day.
I don't suppose they'll make ALL your days until the arena runs again, but it's the
best we can manage. -- Leeta, Bluvalley Warriors
Big Dave Diode -- The men on our team seem to have problems with you, but then,
they're men. I found you quite the thing. -- Bernina Collin
Palanetc. -- What took you so long? -- Gneiss Guy
Just last week I joined Gladiators Against Jaywalking, and I was READY for this one.
-- Valley-Jo
Khorny guy -- You again. -- Flint Hills
What I think is, this Happy Peasant is, like, crazy or something. -- Debra Collin
Floyd B. Rick -- I just wanted to tell you, sir, that I was honored to assist you in
your quest to remain Duelmaster, or whatever it's called these days. It was, I
assure you, my pleasure. -- Aleksondra, the Virginal Concubine
One time, just ONE time, I crossed in the middle of the block, and I am STUCK with
that title. Does nobody ever stop to think I might have had a REASON, such as that I
was being pursued by an insanely bloodthirsty troll or something? There is no
justice in this life, and I hate that! -- <name withheld by request>
Debra Collin -- Thank you for being quick. Short fights are best, aren't they? --
Joe Pie, Happy Peasant
P.S. Just two more years in the arena and I can pay off my credit card....
Mr. Jagger -- After that quick and easy win, SURELY you could spare me a copper or
two! -- Limpy Clean, the Politest Beggar in town

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
