SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for ZENRY CASSAUDO, who flew up 11 points in
the rankings after mashing CHILLILI CHES like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy.
And falling like a basher in the top ten was CHILLILI CHES, who dropped 9 points
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with ZENRY CASSAUDO. Try as hard as
the BLADES OF TERROR stable might, they were unable to find their warrior (and
ex-Duelmaster) ROBESPIERRE before this week's fights. It's a proud day for the BLADE
AND BLOOD stable, as their warrior, SABA EL KEER, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad ARENA FELINES? Big bad ARENA
FELINES. Big bad ARENA FELINES. JURINE's afraid of the big bad ARENA FELINES. Tra
la la la la! For those of you who like math, try this one: ARENA FELINES + Weapons
That go Boom = BLADE AND BLOOD + Avoid City. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were
votes, GUILLOTINE would be president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want
to win.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Proving again that JURINE is not rated G, CAPTURED ORC of
the JURINE slew the warrior MATTEO in a rather bloody bout. Let's look for a
bloodfeud. Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may encounter
problems on the trail to the Isle.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in JURINE have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

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
Illuminati Idealist
"May Your Blades Be Sharp and Your Wits Sharper!"
