DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
You are obviously unsuited to the gladiatorial life, Javelino, and I strongly
recommend that you DO reconsider it. In fact, I'm surprised you ever got hired onto
a team. A six-foot Dwarf? That speaks of clumsiness and poor coordination right
there, not to mention that Dwarven beards are so unsanitary.
I sincerely hope that someone else is in position to take the throne next time,
as I would be disgusted to see you on it.
Jonathannie
P.S. Jorja says that I am, for my style, quite decent, and she is therefore not
mentioning my stats. Like it would make a difference! I'll be lucky to get hold of
my favorite weapon in time for the next fight. Oh, well.
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in ROCANIS! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Like, REDHORSE had to be so
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by BAD APPLES! Way to go BAD APPLES!
MVP award for WISHLIST? YIELD's proud of him after beating HEDGEHOG and getting 20
points. Talk about yer major upsets! JAVELINO's match with DEADFALL cost him a loss
of 12 points! This Duelmaster is like something else! JONATHANNIE stopped MOUNTAIN
GOAT dead in his tracks! I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine
hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Hey you guys, don't you think your
families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember
you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

Mechanism -- Well, sand in the gears didn't seem to do the trick. What to try
next...? -- Bitter Vetch
Hedgehog -- It seemed the logical thing to do: slice you into slips and plant you
for a hedge. Let's see if it works, hmm? There might be a market for hoghedges. --
Applemint
Did you see the Rocani Turncoat's coat? I never realized THAT was what his name
meant. Red one minute, blue the next, green and yellow diamonds after that...it was
enough to make anyone dizzy. -- Deadfall
Narrow Foal -- The better to crawl under doors and filch pennies from the poor? --

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!

Cartel Tarantula Tribe

members). I've been out of the game for many (at least 5) years. I would like to
hear from anyone who remembers me, as well as any Alliance that is seeking to add
experienced managers to their roster. Contact me at:
Anthony Wells
