     "MICOR!"
     The voice of Abarsis, otherwise known as The Slaughter Priest, didn't get raised
very often.  So when it vibrated the walls like that, his Head-of-Staff here in
Trocar raced somewhat heedlessly to discover and correct whatever had caused it.
     "You, um, wanted me m'Lord?"
     The sight of the slightly portly aide, hair and dress askew from running to
answer the summons panting out his tongue-in-cheek question softened the old
mercenary general's mood.
     "Hmm, yes.  One of our stable held the throne two turns ago and posted no
message to the arena.  I'm quite certain I've made it known to them, and you, that
this is against my policy for all teams."
     The shorter man nodded sadly, "You certainly did m'Lord.  Lawyer wrote a column
as you directed but it was misplaced and forgotten when the staff saw to the monthly
paper work.  I'm very sorry for the mistake, sir, and I've already replaced the one
who was responsible for turning it in."
     The Slaughter Priest thought this over for a moment and then concluded, "Almost,
but not quite enough.  In future I must be informed if such things occur, not read
about it in the personal ads.  And now I want that message found and posted!  Turn
the guildhouse inside out if needs be and write a spotlight.  Clear?"
     "Very clear, m'Lord.  I'm already on it..." the voice faded out with the
disappearing form of Micor.

     Hail...,
     Imagine the surprise when a random match, in an arena whose sudden drop from low
but steady participation to virtually three active teams had caused our manager to
effectively ignore strategy, resulted in my becoming your Duel2, or whatever, arena
champ let's say.  First of the Plagues stable.  We were brought in for a small
alliance competition and kept on because two of us were considered unusually useful.
The good news is that we'll be active even if it's just Uncle Wolf, our team and the
occasional tourney timer until all five original members graduate or one of us gets
themselves killed as we would be our managers first ever team to graduate all five
original members.  Little goals keep the jadedness away....
     The championship fight was nothing special, a little one-sided compared to the
best examples but considering my style and limitations that's liable to be true, win
or lose.
     Under the circumstances, I don't know what point there is to being coy.  My
style's listed in the newsletter and those of my available opponents as well.  I'll
just say I'm an awful match-up for defensive styles anyway and recently winnowed the
choices down to what is almost certainly my best tempo.  Thus, I expect to hold the
throne until someone who can win the jump, (which I'll try to avoid) gets a challenge
through, or I graduate.  Meanwhile, I'll be challenging the two more defensive
Challenger Champs.  You never know, that waste has a heck-of-a record (could be
sitting on 50 tourney FE for all I know) and may surprise me.
     Until next I am prompted to address you, I remain your favorite advocate,
          Lawyer of Plagues

                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Silverbolt, you should know 6-6-6 LL isn't supposed to kill.  But it is also the
sign of the devil, so you must not have friends downstairs.  I await the BF, but
don't believe your teammates are eligible to BF for the throne, so perhaps you need
some help from one of the C.Champs.

A.O. Hell
Useless Tool

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in TROCAR a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  This turn A.O. HELL challenged 
CERISA in what was TROCAR's Title bout.  The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have 
failed, and A.O. HELL remains TROCAR's top warrior for another turn.  Can someone 
confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at 
The Warty Toad until they win.  Maybe?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  TRADERS OF TROCAR has cause to stand tall, 
as they were TROCAR's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to 
beat.  And avoiding TRADERS OF TROCAR more than any other team we find USELESS TOOLS. 
TROCAR, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing?  Well, sports fans, 
take notice that CERISA from TRADERS OF TROCAR was TROCAR's most challenged warrior 
this turn.  Building dreams on hope, KATRINE challenged up 30 points this turn to 
take on WIMPERETTA from TRADERS OF TROCAR stable.  And now nobody knows where 
WIMPERETTA is right now, after giving KATRINE 28 points worth of recognition.  As 
quiet chuckles rise behind me.  In a brave attempt, NO-STICK TAPE from USELESS TOOLS 
challenged up 21 points to fight LAWYER from the PLAGUES stable.  NO-STICK TAPE 
perhaps got its just desserts, seeing as it defeated LAWYER and ended up with 100 
recognition points.  KATZEN JAMMER of KATHOUSE had better have a good reason for 
challenging down 10 points in a challenge which she won.  I thought KATZEN JAMMER 
showed great skill and promise when she overcame VIRET.  All right, so I slept 
through it!  Big deal!   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover 
or hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Always good to rest in TROCAR, but never good to wear out my 
welcome.  Look for me in future turns.  Until you see my quill in TROCAR again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Palladiarum -- But Katrine is cute.  Come on, you wouldn't hit a girl anyway, would
ya? -- The Questioning Kitty, Kat

Viret -- Obviously, you wouldn't hit a girl either! -- Kat

Trocar Traders -- Seems we bottom feeders will be dancing quite often with each
other, eh?  Plagues, you planning on joining in the fun? -- The Tabby of Tease, Kat

Lawyer -- A plague indeed!  Why, your fee was more than the recovered damages! 
Damned unfair.  The only people who make money in lawsuits are the lawyers.  Oh,
well. -- Cerisa
P.S.  I had always suspected that lawyers were soulless, but now I see that it is
literally true, as you are a golem.  Odd, that.  I should have expected it, but I
didn't.

What, Jhelum is raiding again?  Or is this some old, left-over raider kept around to
train more raid-repellers?  No matter, I'll deal with HIM>  (pause)  Ptui!  What do
the Rirorni EAT?  Their blood tastes horrid. -- Wimperetta

Fireant -- So, the coffee grounds trick doesn't work against you, eh?  Well, there's
bound to be SOMETHING that does, and I will FIND it. -- Daroshtan

Kat Ching -- I presumed--always a mistake, premature presumption--from your name that
you were a member of the Oriental branch of the family.  Then I saw that you're
Ratani.  Still, a Ratani on the record (the Commission is so narrow-minded) could
quite easily be, let's suppose, half Sendori or something like that.  Which would
explain your name, in so far as Sendori names make any sense, which isn't very far.
Not like OUR names, here in Trocar. -- Palladiarum

Katrine -- I consider the use of katnip perfume to be dirty pool.  Clean up that pool
immediately!  Don't you know that dirty pools spread diseases? -- Viret
P.S.  There are some days it just doesn't pay to be Aruaki.  After all, it isn't like
they'd let me turn into a lioness in the arena.

No-Stick Tape -- I should hope not!  The very idea! -- Cerisa (and I don't pronounce
it that way anyway)

                            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.

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

20 September 2004
Azereth has returned!  I am the manager for Scarlet Blades in DM 25.  I was a member
