DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Ahhhh.... Turn 2 of my reign as your champion. Tsirell, it was a pleasure and
honor defeating you for the empty throne.... Donstan, it was pure joy to defend my
throne from your attempt to take away that which is mine. Scanning the rankings, it
appears that there are no significant threats to my reign and it appears that I will
occupy this spot until Sheila grants me my invite to the Isle. I have defeated all
in the CC's, with the exception of never being matched up against Papa Bear's Arm.
So it is three Sand Dancers or an inactive Arm that I will be defending my throne
against next cycle.... Well, in the fairness of even play, I will attempt to refrain
from going for the kill. Until next cycle....
Riot Act; Insignificance
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to CHAVEZ RAVINE once again! SAND DANCERS showed CHAVEZ RAVINE
what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 4-1-0.
What's with JAEGO KLEE? He actually beat CHAVEZ RAVINE's LALVO OF THE PEN, and
walked away with 19 more points from the fight. Major screwup at FORCE OF FIVE. SUM
OF ALL MEN lost 5 points to RONSEVAN. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe SUM OF
ALL MEN will provide more easy wins... CHAVEZ RAVINE has a Duelmaster who doesn't
sit back and get lazy. He challenged SAND DANCERS' PELAK TEN ZORN (18-43-0), which
should prove (ahem!) interesting. Try as he might, PELAK TEN ZORN wasn't good enough
at persuading RIOT ACT to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... I suppose you
want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, SLYTHERIN HOUSE!
Management must be dealin', as the boys at INSIGNIFICANCE ain't reelin'! SLYTHERIN
HOUSE's mad!
Warriors of CHAVEZ RAVINE unite. You have only your games to lose! Death is no
stranger to a warrior. INSIGNIFICANCE's FATAL led a good life before leaving CHAVEZ
RAVINE. Many would be proud to leave behind a 6-4-0. How long have I been here? I
got people to see, places to go...
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. All work
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Well, we seem to be without fight reports, so we'll just have to write you all based
on the on-line newsletter. And hope that some of you feel like writing today, too.
It's easy, and if you find it hard, there ARE scribes in the Market that will take
down your words of wisdom and disrespect and deliver them to the arena. -- Donstan,
for the Sand Dancers
Riot Act -- That's quite an act, too. -- Donstan
P.S. It was an honor to be in a title match. Not as much of an honor as to WIN said
title match, but still, I guess I'll take what I can get. -- Donstan
Lucius Malfoy -- Darn. Drat. Etc. I bet you used magic, and you're NOT supposed to
do that! -- Ronsevan
P.S. And the mis-matched socks don't make it. Didn't your mama ever tell you that?
Socks should be the same color on each foot. If possible, anyway.
Ah, the pleasures of fighting a standby! At least, I think this Pelis character is a
standby.... -- Pelak ten Zorn
Well, I didn't MEAN to be brutal to the Traveling Tinker, but I got mad, and then I
got carried away. Besides, he didn't HAVE to enter the arena, did he? It isn't like
he's got a manager or anything. -- Tsirell
Dementor -- Uh...as in "one who makes people crazy"? I can see that, I guess. I
don't LIKE it, but I can see it. I mean, somebody has to do stuff like that, right?
-- Jaego Klee
Donstan -- Ah, that is a long story, best told over cold beer. Lots of cold beer.
If you would care to buy, say at the Tiger's Shadow? -- Hanval the Claw

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 dueling land 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
