SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TRICORUS games. A new guild, THE DUELS, entered
TRICORUS with a clash this turn, showing off a 4-1-0 record. Indeed, a worthy
addition to the city guilds. DELANGE caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as she skillfully bested CARLO and was awarded 19 points in recognition.
In one of the week's more notable duels, DELANGE put down CARLO, causing him to lose
15 points of recognition in the process. Although SPIDER-MAN made a valiant effort,
it did not suffice to topple the reign of victorious APPLE. Would you believe that
over half of the old women in TRICORUS seem to feel that they could fight better than
you gladiators?
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TRICORUS. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. DARK HORSEMEN is feared. This much I can say. Apparently
the stalwarts of SRETSAMLEUD are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging
board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot but expect
competition from those below. CARLO take warning! You have more than a few enemies
in TRICORUS.
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!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in TRICORUS. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires
of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a
turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its
prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Reality -- Here? I don't think this arena is READY for reality. That might be too,
um, real for people here. -- Harzogh
P.S. If you don't plan on USING all those skills, I'd take some of 'em back.
Jacinthe -- A beautiful fiery stone, a beautiful fiery woman. A little on the small
side, but women SHOULD be a little on the small side. It makes it easier to carry
them away on my saddlebow. Actually, I wouldn't have said "saddle-BOW" but Delange
tells me that's the proper term when you're carrying a woman away on horseback. But
what I say is, what if she's actually sitting behind me, and even behind the cantle?
THAT isn't my saddlebow by any shot. -- Kolvegh
P.S. Still, pick your spot of choice and I'd be glad to carry you away.
P.P.S. Er, from the tension and the pain and stuff.
Melissa -- Bad match for you, sword-sister! Better luck next time. -- Delange
Manny Lehman -- Well... a man who can beat me up so thoroughly is probably ENTITLED to
laugh at me. I certainly won't be laughing at YOU. And somebody here might as well
laugh. -- Turagh, not laughing

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!
