SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, ERINIKA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, DEMONIC, since THE BULLS
took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. If this keeps up,
PERFECTION QUEST, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 4 in
the rankings? ODIN'S CHOSEN turned their 1-1-0 turn into a 4th place rank in the
listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course,
we're all terribly impressed to see CROSS CZECH win a fight and gain 17 points,
terribly. Tsk, tsk, MANNAZ THORSSON beat YANKEE DOODLE and YANKEE DOODLE lost 9
points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as
BULL FROG takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh.
Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys
win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
ERINIKA, I am losing what little hope I had in you. ODIN'S CHOSEN the most avoided
team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this mass act
of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was WORLDWIDE GORE. Ha ha ha ha!
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, MANNAZ THORSSON was this turn's most challenged
warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans.
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. Bye bye, warrior, bye bye... FRISIAN, a
glorious 11-8-0 fighter, has passed away. Gee, too bad PERFECTION QUEST II.
Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds
of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in ERINIKA to get a drink than The Welcome
Wench! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city
of ERINIKA. I feel much better now. Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need
the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

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!
