SPY REPORT
Greetings, warriors of JADE MOUNTAIN! Once again I've been called out of
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Ya gotta be quick on yer
feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! EXPERIMENTAL is
now ranked 5th with a 3-2-0 turn. What's with GYHARD? He actually beat DARK TOADS'
ARIA, and walked away with 16 more points from the fight. Major screwup at DARK
TOADS. ARIA lost 12 points to GYHARD. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe ARIA
will provide more easy wins... FIFTH QUARTER's hatred of THAT'S US surfaced again as
P'JERIN challenged JADE MOUNTAIN's top dog. I can barely restrain my enthusiam for
FIFTH QUARTER's outstanding member, Duelmaster P'JERIN. I suppose you want to hear
some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. The
most avoided team was PARANOID ASYLUM. The bums at EXPERIMENTAL couldn't face the
challenges from PARANOID ASYLUM! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of
being the most challenged warrior, WOODY! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back
to haunt you. ANDY CAPP didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received
from ALBANNON of FIFTH QUARTER, who is 22 points below him. ALBANNON perhaps got his
just desserts, seeing as he was beat by ANDY CAPP and ended up with 48 recognition
points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. How long have I been here? I got people to see,
places to go...
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...--
Olaf Modeen

Wonderful -- (with a very critical look) Think a lot of yourselves, don't you? And,
of course, you know where to head for the skills. (sigh) It's a gift, teaching the
way I do, and a burden, too. I bet you with three more wins I could GRADUATE and go
teach on the Isle. But there's a conspiracy here to keep me from leaving Jade
Mountain. -- Woody
Wrath -- Wow, if sin leads to learning four skills, maybe I should TRY some. (wink)
Got any suggestions? -- Treenva Taral
Wicked -- Yep, but that's okay, so long as you lose to me. In that, you're SUCH a
good guy.... -- Volto Leeni, taking wins where he finds them (usually in the trash
dump behind the arena, where he finds them dirty and flawed, but what the heck, a win
is a win)
Lust -- Sounds like a plan to me! -- Arnal Redaxe
P.S. You have no idea how hard it can be to enjoy a little lust if you're a six-
foot-two Dwarf! People give me these unbelieving looks.
Mockingbird -- (anxiously) I hope I wasn't too hard on you? I mean, I'm supposed to
fight to win, but that doesn't mean I have to be vicious, right? Especially with
you. -- Tabatan
Jade Mountain -- Greetings friends! Er, and the rest of you too. I am pleased to
announce the trial running of my "Experimental" stable in your fine arena. (Try not
to trample any innocent bystanders getting at them....) -- Slaughter Priest
Snape -- First swing was winning that one, I think. Still, we got to min 3 and that
would be good news if I can make it a habit. -- Terminal
Spike -- Dang it! You're not supposed to bounce back up like a superball when I get
a knockdown. Besides, I've already admitted I'm unlikely to work! No need to be so
hostile.... Well fought. -- Unlikely
The Catalyst -- That's the way it goes with wild stabs, sometimes they get'cha,
sometimes not. ~sigh~ -- Wild Stab
Prongs -- What can I say? Work out some more. But don't feel bad because it was
just a... -- Cheap Trick
Wormtail -- Eeewww! That's disgusting. It'll takes weeks to get the slime out of my
gear. Mismatched? That's something I won't hear often in my favor.... -- Mr. Boring

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!
