DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
What I want to know is, why wasn't the Convicted Assassin KILLED?
Sharan Khor
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, OSKSI? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, OUR HIGHEST HONOR, since
FRAT PARTY BLOWOUT took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of
course, we're all terribly impressed to see JUNGLE JUICE win a fight and gain 17
points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, DANGEROUS CRIMINAL beat SOLDIER #1 and SOLDIER #1 lost
18 points. You're breakin' my heart. Our last turn's Duelmaster has lost, folks,
lost to VENOMOUS CONCUBINE, and SHARAN KHOR has made the way for a new Duelmaster!
With SHARAN KHOR clearing the throne, GAMES LIBRARY of DOMINO JOE takes a proud seat
as OSKSI's new Duelmaster, by virtue of recognition points. The Elefont, humph!
I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From OSKSI's
trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. Ooh,
I'm frightfully impressed, MAUR TOLIDAR 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. We're all going to die in the end, so why
worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later?
There's got to be a better place in OSKSI to get a drink than The Elefont! Any
suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So
nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

Soldier #3 -- Damn, you dwarves are sneaky little dudes. -- Maur Tolidar the somewhat
battered
P.S. I'm surprised you could reach my head, though.
You should work on your posture. -- Ed.
Otis 3 -- You could have taught me something. I was paying attention. (sigh) Of
course, my stunning Charisma probably prevented YOU from paying attention. -- Uhleane
Wiel
Soldier #1 -- Yeah, about what I expected. Everybody's burned out and exhausted
around our place. -- Domino Joe
P.S. It's the pits.
Fish Breath -- Gods! That's enough to gag a maggot. -- Ghost of Vorhaus Charn
Hmm, I was just entering Sharan Khor into my list of Graduates from Osksi, and I
realized that with the recent graduation of Yatzee, I have a complete set of all ten
styles from here. That's rather pleasing. -- Nick, Games Library

*Turf War IV Rules*
Everyone may participate; known alliances, new alliances, or temporary alliances
created to compete in the Turf War! However, to participate, each alliance must:
A. Announce the alliance and the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork (DM
47) newsletter.
Captains are responsible for:
a. verifying those who wish to participate under the banner of their alliance;
b. distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War.
Managers must:
a. Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Gift Certificate to participate to:
Baphomet, mgr. Knights Templar (568), DM 47 -- North Fork, or
Rick Stringer
13 St. Michael's CT
Elkton, MD 21921
b. Announce their intent to compete with manager name, team name and alliance
they will be fighting under in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter.
Rules:
1. No scoring will begin until a Gift Cert is received. No exceptions.
2. Before a manager can compete, he/she must declare and be verified by the
Captain of the alliance he/she has claimed for;
3. Only one (1) team per player may compete. NO multiple aliases please.
Violations will result in disqualification.
4. The contest will begin on the turn following the January F2F and run for 12
turns.
5. The turn a declaration and verification will begin the scoring process.
6. No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 10 of the Turf
War 5.
7. For the purpose of scoring, I reserve the right to make all final decisions.
Scoring:
Win Loss Kill Die
Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5
Match-Up +1 -1 +1 -5
Bloodfeud +2 -5 +5 -10
Champion x2 x2 x2 x2
Downchallenge -10 xx -10 xx
Dark Arena +10 -5 xx xx
Special Scoring:
a. Each mention in the Spy Report is worth 2 points (team mentions only!)
b. Each Style Master is worth 2 points.
c. Duelmaster Throne is worth 2 points
Champions:
a. Champions may be declared, but are not mandatory. If declared, the Champion
must be in the Adepts or lower brackets on the turn they are declared
without having gone above the Adepts bracket at any time...including
transferred teams. (I'll be watching for this occurrence!)
Bloodfeuds:
a. Bloodfeuds count for all four (4) turns. However, the same warrior may not
be used all four turns. 4 turns means 4 separate warriors. A penalty of
-10 will be given to the team who violates this.
Special Conditions:
a. I reserve the right for all final decisions.
b. If I make a mistake, I'll multiply the points by 2.
c. If you claim I did, and *YOU* are wrong, I'll subtract points at the rate of
x10.
d. Each alliance begins with zero (0) points.
e. Dark Arena may be used on the first turn of every warrior with no penalty
(this means a warrior with 0 FE).
f. TVs won after the contest begins gain a 25 point one time score once the
tourney reports are posted in the NL.
g. TCs won after the contest begins gain a 50 point one time score with the
same conditions as noted for TVs.
h. NO switching alliance once verified by an alliance that a team has declared
for.
i. Only 7 teams are permitted per alliance for the Turf War 5.
PRIZES:
Turf Wars are a "Winner Takes All" type contest. All prizes and 100% of the RU
Certs will be given to the Captain of the winning alliance and it is his/her
responsibility to give these to the alliance membership.
I have requested from RSI the following:
a. renaming of the orth Fork (DM 47) arena;
b. renaming of Dark Arena Monsters;
c. known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning
alliance. This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the
last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to
receive this award).
Baphomet, Host of TW5
Special Note: A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower
bracket. Same bracket, more recognition points? Not a downchallenge!

In accordance with those rules set forth by the Lady of the Realm, I hereby announce
the formation of a small group of managers calling themselves "The Outsiders". The
group consists of the following members:
Doc LeGrande
Apex
Street Legal
Carnage
Ghoti
Roadkill
Valamond
This group has only one rule. Respect the play of the managers of this
alliance. We have no worries about not playing by the rules set forth by others. We
fight the way we like, and all those in this group appreciate what tools each manager
brings. We have managers from the Delarquan, Andorian and Free Blade regions. We
have managers that focus on the tournament arenas, and we have those that focus on
the regular city arenas. We have those in our ranks that fight with honor and
respect for all, and we have those that have a bloodlust that cannot be quenched.
Our goal is simple. To create a ensemble of managers that will show their
prowess in the land of Alastari, and to bring a new level of competition to all those
that share the sands with our warriors. Our warriors are many throughout the land.
We have no home arena. We have no pacts we abide by. Our fighters range from
Mordant to Talcama, from Lapur to Lyratilan, Aruak City to Valamantis, the Primus
arena to Talahya, and many more arenas throughout the land.
Whether we are sought out or ignored makes no difference to us. We are what we
are. We fight how we fight. And we do it however we wish. We have no rules. We
have no leader or ruler. Be prepared. We are.

The Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire respond thus to the Avengers of the Light:
Where are you? EACH AND EVERY Dark Knight can be found in arenas 31 and 52. Your
pretty words mean less than nothing if you won't fight. EVERY Dark Knight is more
than willing to back up their talk. So...we give you three turns in either 31 or 52,
REPEAT 31 or 52 to show up or shut up. If you don't show we'll let all of Alastari
know the Avengers are indeed cowards! -- Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire

I received a Gift Certificate from someone. I'm assuming it's for entry into the
Turf War 5. Whoever sent this to me...please email me at rbaphomets@yahoo.com.
Thanks.
