Notes from the arena champ.
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to CHAVEZ RAVINE once again! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings
always change. Up 'n down. I think I'm gonna be... Well, SAND DANCERS' 3rd moved
them up to 2-3-0 place. What's with TSIRELL? He actually beat CHAVEZ RAVINE's
TRAVELING TINKER, and walked away with 13 more points from the fight. Major screwup
at SLYTHERIN HOUSE. PANSY PARKINSON lost 8 points to THE TICK. Some new strategies,
perhaps? Maybe PANSY PARKINSON will provide more easy wins... See how the
Duelmaster challenged SAND DANCERS' DONSTAN? That sort of initiative is how he got
where he is now. DONSTAN was reminded on the sands why RIOT ACT is Duelmaster.
Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was CORPS. Management must be dealin', as the boys at
INSIGNIFICANCE ain't reelin'! CORPS' mad! What do people see in RONSEVAN? His
5-14-0? SAND DANCERS ain't talkin', but he's got 29 points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover
stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! I don't want
to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Riot Act -- What puzzles me is the connection, if any, between your personal fighting
name and your team name. How can your namesake be insignificant? -- Tsirell
P.S. And other times I'm puzzled by the undeniable fact that I have a wimpy fighting
style which is regularly beaten up by practitioners of your much more common style.
Why couldn't *I* have been a lunger? Or a total parry?
Sum of All Men -- That would be in the "New Math," I take it? -- Ronsevan
Arm -- And Hammer? No, wait, Hammer's not managing here at present.... -- Pelak ten
Zorn
Hanval the Claw -- It was with immense pleasure that I saw I had drawn a standby to
fight this week. With a standby, there is always a chance of conversation. So...
could you perhaps tell me how you came to be called "the Claw"? For I see that you
have quite normal hands. -- Donstan
Dementor -- I suppose you think you'll make me demented? If I didn't have such a
thick headbone, you might. -- Jaego Klee

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 duelingland 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!
-- Hammer; Vendetta Cartel Captain/WordSmith and WeaponSmith of the Vendetta
Cartel Tarantula Tribe
