SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
ARADI brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. If this keeps up, NATURAL DISASTERS,
you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 5 in the rankings?
DARQUE AGES turned their 3-2-0 turn into a 6th place rank in the listings this turn.
Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is
nice, but don't get cocky, VOUGEOOT, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are
proud. ARADI saw the first turn for SILENT WARRIORS, a 3-2-0, and some teams are
scared, others are too arrogant to notice. Take note friends, take note. Of course,
we're all terribly impressed to see SHMAMY CROCKETT win a fight and gain 18 points,
terribly. Tsk, tsk, FLOOD beat ASSHE-MASTER and ASSHE-MASTER lost 13 points. You're
breakin' my heart. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as RIFF takes the
Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very
good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't
you, ARADI?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.
VOUGEOOT, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.
Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was DEATH STUDS VII. Ha ha ha ha!
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, DEMURRER was this turn's most challenged warrior.
Watch that ego swell, sports fans. DOONEUSHMUN was challenged by one of DEATH STUDS
VII's warriors this turn, with ANGRY SANTA having a lead of 22 points going into the
fight. Ha ha aha ha aha ha!!! ANGRY SANTA was was overcame by by VOUGEOOT's
warrior! Thank the gods for big favors! ha! I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego
on this one, but BRUSHFIRE has challenged up by 27 in an attempt against TYPHOON
XXII. But here's a pretty tale--BRUSHFIRE did lose the fight, but gained 1 worth of
recognition. Some long shots can pay off, I guess.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. I could say I saw this coming, but so
could anyone else. Anyway, this turn it came. DICHABOD's 4-7-0 has earned him the
Dark Arena. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing
these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Glad
to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

Barnabas -- Welcome back, it's always nice to have some real competition around.
Seen any of the other Rio Vistans sneaking about the cow fields? -- Nuln
Stevie -- Maybe you should ask Joe. -- anon. person who reads newsletter
Somebody reads the newsletter? Coulda fooled me!
Angry Santa -- Can I say suck my butt in the personals? -- Son of Bloodlust
Probably not.
the Tail -- You'll need more constitutionals if you want to tango with the likes of
me, dog boy! But if you ever want to go to the park and play frisbee, just let me
know. -- Asshe-master
Nuln -- boB is in the House. -- boB
FONZ -- All of my challenges were from you guys. I feel at home. -- Shaman
Fonzers -- Wow, nice to see the band getting back together. Now that Gummi Ghoul is
graduated there isn't anything keeping this team around, so hopefully I can be back
soon with something more my style. :) -- Anti
Nuln -- Bloop. -- Anti
Inferno -- What the heck is up with your team and warrior names? I can't tell if you
choose your names with a spoonful of Alpha Bits or what. I keep looking at them and
thinking that there's some hidden order or message or something. Like when you see a
word written backwards (ONREFNI) or Pig Latin or where you have to remove every
second letter to see the actual word. Please save me the strain and stress of trying
to figure it out. -- Death Stud
Consortiumites? That's a weird word. It sounds like some sort of rock structure
that hangs off the roofs of caves or something. Or maybe a rare mineral that is
mined deep in the jungle of impoverished African countries. -- Death Studs
Exactly.
Nuln -- Hey dummasse, try turning off the HTML on your email when you send in your
personal ads. Doyee. -- helpful citizen of Aradi, afraid of the dire consequences to
your person should you continue to thoughtlessly annoy Ed.
Or Temp Ed. I have less patience.
Urban -- We like Roman numerals. Would you like to join the team? -- Death Studs VII
Nuln -- Misleading Inferno is not difficult and often happens by accident. I think
it has more to do with the subject in question than with any specific malicious
action by myself. -- Death Stud
Ooh, Aradi cool word award of the week goes to Nuln for his use of "voluminous" last
week whilst schooling Chromey.
vo7lu7mi7nous (adj.)
1. Having great volume, fullness, size, or number: a voluminous trunk; a
voluminous cloud.
2. Filling or capable of filling a large volume or many volumes: the voluminous
court record of the long trial.
3. Ample or lengthy in speech or writing.
4. Having many coils; winding.
Used in context as: "...I will juststand in awe of your voluminous personals
prowess." I know you all thought it would go to Creepster for his clever use of the
little known "kowabungaliscious" and it was in the running, no doubt. The tie-
breaker went to Nuln for being slightly less of an annoying retard than Creepster. --
Death Stud
Far too easily amused -- And a very small slack shoe it is. -- Death Stud
Shaman -- Cardinal broken rule #1: you really shouldn't use the words "talent" and
"FONZ" in the same sentence. You did last week and now have forced me to do so again
in pointing out your error. Now I am sure to go 0-5 as well. -- Death Stud
Sultan -- Don't give Soultaker any more credit than he is due (thus, no credit should
be awarded). That lazy bastard get ME motivated?!?!? That's a laugh and a half.
HAHA HA <<--(1.5 laughs). I will thank you to lavish yonder misplaced praise upon
me, its deserving recipient from now on. I await the gentle lapping of your
appreciation. -- Death Stud
P.S. Let's hear more from you, too!
Son of Bloodlust -- Crybaby. -- Angry Santa
Brushfire -- Sissy. That all you got? -- Typhoon
Asshe-Master -- You may have WON, but the crowd liked ME better. Everybody loves a
good dog, you know. Except villains. -- The Tail
Dooneushmun -- You were MEAN to me! You had a rolled up newspaper in your pocket, I
could SMELL it there, I could HEAR it sniggering at me! And I didn't mean to. I
mean, the slipper was right THERE, right in FRONT of me, so I thought it was a GIFT.
And I only chewed it a little. Honest! -- Pretty Boy
P.S. You should wash your feet oftener. Your slipper tasted awful.
Soultaker -- Well, you can't have mine. Anyway, you have to stick to people souls,
don't you? Dog souls are too big for your soul-sack. -- Stevie
Hammer -- Yeah, you can do it! THROW that stick! I'll bring it back for you. --
King
Tsunami -- At least you didn't come with soap. But you had that look, you know, the
one that says "Bath," and I wasn't taking any chances. -- Flower
Ed. -- Not to be contradictory, which no good dog would do, but do you really think
Aradi would use something as logical as the metric system? They probably measure in
cubits. -- Spot, Red Dog Gang
Sultan -- My aren't we vocal all of a sudden. Good to see that you still can see to
read the personals. -- Soultaker
Shaman -- I really need to get a hold of ya. Will try to contact ya through web
site. Now that you are back with SamWise and Anti we will show those west coast
FONZites who is boss. -- Soultaker
Death Stud -- Not asleep just bored by all your trivial ramblings. Soultaker
I was so tempted to leave in some of the <DIV> annd ....
Crazy -- I thought you were in forced retirement? Go back to that nut house. --
Soultaker
Consortium -- It is easy to rule an empty empire. Hell it is easy to rule a full one
here. Since your departure this has become an arena of npc's and has-beens. --
Soultaker
Death Stud, Nuln, Snotman, and so on -- Read the above personal. -- Soultaker
Aradi Pride -- Back off. This is the dawning of a new era of slander and jibes. --
Soultaker
Nuln -- Wow!!! Your forced vacation from the sands has really help you. I feel that
the time and money spent on your speech therapy was well spent. -- Soultaker
Ed. -- I see we are both amazed at Death Stud's attempt at comunication. -- Soultaker
She went on vacation. But she's amazed anyway, I'm sure.
Sultan -- Ah yes I too have to live with mediocrity. When you are surrounded by the
likes of Nuln, Snotman, Death Stud, and Anti you really must lower ones standards.
Just think, it only gets worse, now Inferno is back. Misery hath no bounds. --
Soultaker
Barnabas, SamWise, and the ghost of Mad Max -- I really have
tons to say to all of ya, but never sure if you will be here to grasp it.
Soultaker
Guardian -- Really good to see ya hanging around. -- Soultaker
Shaman -- I am impressed that you can fight your way to top unchartered team while
not having to win your fights. -- Soultaker
Nulner than you -- I think I may need a better set of warriors to compete with you
here. -- Inferno
P.S. On the other hand, I may just be slipping.
P.P.S. At least he wasn't leading me the wrong way.
King -- Right turn, left turn, bounce off the knee, a kick to the ribs, and no wet
nose. Nothing strange when you can't turn that far. -- Dooneushmun
Sultan -- I would say that running, receiving turns, and acccomplishing something
would count as something more than living off of old memories like that Hoffa guy. --
Inferno, live in claymation
1 March 2005
The Contract
[as retold by Hammer the WordSmith]
What had begun as a contract for swords and armor between a well known name in
the DM community and the former VC Captain/WordSmith and WeaponSmith of the Vendetta
Cartel Tarantula Tribe was destined to impact and altar the landscape of the dueling
community for years to come.
The following is but a condensed retelling of history in the making.
Hammer continued sipping his tankard of Elven Tonic as the mysterious hooded
figure quietly seated himself across the table from the Veteran Manager whose back
was against the wall; allowing for a subtle, but effective surveillance of the dimly
lit tavern.
Recent events in both Illis and North Fork/SCOMSS Swamp Arena had stunned the DM
managerial world with the announcement that Hammer had resigned from his position as
a well respected member of the Vendetta Cartel Alliance.
Those managers and associates closest to Hammer were shocked and dismayed that
there seemed to be NO Rational Explanation for Hammer making such a seemingly
irrational, hasty and extremely illogical decision; by what seemed to be a spur of
the moment reaction following the Declaration of War by Hammer in the DM 47 P-ads.
This is what stirred the mysterious hooded figure to seek Hammer with a request
that would change the managerial course of both men; ultimately Rocking the
Managerial World of Alastari as a result of the forthcoming decisions reached by the
two Veterans.
Time passed swiftly as both Veteran Managers discussed how the landscape of the
DM game on the sands of Alastari had changed over the years both in Basic and Tourney
play; producing a new breed of managers who would of necessity band together in an
alliance with a common goal; waging war against antagonists while improving the
managerial skills of each participating member in their glorious quest for DM
excellence.
Hammer listened intently as his unexpected guest inquired about the situation in
North Fork/SCOMSS Swamp Arena; revealing his desire to participate in the upcoming
Turf War 4 contest in DM 47 with an alliance that would accept him on a more
permanent basis other than for just fighting together as a TW4 alliance to win fame
and Gift Certs.
Here was a Veteran Manager, seeking the advice of Hammer regarding an alliance
to join on a permanent basis; plus extending a sword arm of friendship and requesting
that Hammer join him as an alliance mate with those who would welcome their
membership.
The Iron in the Words of Hammer had produced this opportunity as a result of the
recent conflicts witnessed first hand by the manager seated across the table from
Hammer. This Veteran Manager had been secretly searching and scouting around
Alastari for someone worth his mettle to fight alongside; someone who would know
where to find the perfect gang of rebels who were unafraid of waging war against
anyone.
Hammer knew exactly where to look and in a matter of days the two newcomers were
welcomed into the ranks of a group of managers who received them as war waging equals
in an alliance that had joined a Confederation of Alliances for the TW4 contest.
Fighting under the banner of The Illuminati Confederation of Alliances alongside
members of Chaos Inc, kLk and The Company of Brothers during the TW4 was more than
either of the two Veteran Managers had envisioned a few months ago.
Hammer was now entering a new journey with a new attitude.
Perhaps you readers may have noticed that new attitude by now since this
announcement by Hammer is uncharacteristically Exclamation Point Free.
Except for the famous quote by Hammer at the end of this announcement.
Now that Hammer and the Mysterious Hooded Figure have agreed to join forces with
an alliance whose members have welcomed them enthusiastically; let those who desire
to be antagonistic be forewarned as to the identities of these newly welcomed wagers
of war:
Tripwire
kLk Bringer of Pain
Hammer
kLk WordSmith and WeaponSmith
Minister of War
