SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of DAL SHANG! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. KASSILA TYL DRU caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested OLTIMAL THE LAME and was
awarded 21 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, MERRI
HOLIDAZE put down DAKORIL, causing him to lose 11 points of recognition in the
process. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster TITANIA challenged
MING THE TERRIBLE last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne. Although
MING THE TERRIBLE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the reign of
victorious TITANIA. Would you believe that over half of the old women in DAL SHANG
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 DAL SHANG. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. SAND DANCERS is feared. This much I can say. Apparently
the stalwarts of SUPERIOR FORCES 3J are catching the bulk of jests down at the
challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena has
reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after MING
THE TERRIBLE. Watch your back!
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing
is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in DAL SHANG. 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
Titania -- At least you re-took the throne on a win. Much better than getting it by
default as I go out the door. Well, not "out the door," that's just a figure of
speech, of course. In actual fact, I'm headed for the waterfront and the weekly
packet to Alastari. But still. -- Dilys tyl Kogan
I'd expect Captain Lensar to teach better. Sure, he's a standby, but he's the top-
of-the-line standby. That should count for something, shouldn't it? -- Durvan
If I'd known a standby was going to kill Kassela, I would NOT have told the Master of
the Edge that he was a fine opponent. It isn't that I really LIKED Kassela, well, I
didn't DISlike her, but still. It's the principle of the thing. -- Ming the Terribly
Annoyed
And yet another standby. (sigh) -- Jesse Tavan
Sagat of Paidan -- I hope you go home to Paidan and everybody turns away from you. I
hope they won't serve you in the taverns, and nobody will clean your drains, and they
won't let you keep company with their daughters! -- Ghost of Kassela tyl Dru
P.S. And I'm going to reincarnate and come to GET you.
That was actually kinda cool! The Master of Edge--a fine opponent--disarmed me, and
we fought it out, fist to fist! What a battle! -- Murgon
P.S. I won, too. I do like that part.
Wow, that Mim Yellowhair is really put together right! I really go for these buxom
Orc women, you know.... -- Porgaral
Damned standby didn't teach me a thing. -- Churro the Spike
Gosh, I didn't know elf types, even half-elfs, could be so slow and clumsy. I
thought they were fast as winking and graceful and all. -- Dakoril
Sultan -- I'm not organized enough to challenge. -- Zarla, Refugees
Kassela tyl Dru -- You did not belong in the arena, woman. I have done you a favor.
-- Sagat of Paidan
Murgon -- An excellent fight, young man. You show unusual promise compared with the
typical weapon-obsessed gladiator. Perhaps you should consider fighting without
weapons more often. -- Lo Kai, Master of the Edge
P.S. Silly name, since I don't use any edge but the edge of my hand.

Manager who qualifies under the following conditions:

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.
