The thick cloud cover finally broke as bright radiant sunshine rained down upon the fair city of Osksi. Gone was the greyness, the annoying misty rain, the brisk cold winds. Cheer and disbelief spread wildly across the arena stands as the beast, covered head-to-toe in Platemail armor... Cadillac Dundee, was savagely defeated by THE VOICE INSIDE in one dominating, devastating, catastrophic and convincing minute. Babies were kissed, leppers were cured, water turned to wine and doves flew overhead in droves. Marma Duke could be seen grinning wildly as another of his top dogs ascended to the throne and donned the purple robes. The Muffin Man's minions quickly whisked the defeated Cadillac from the sands... who knows which evil magic he would bestow upon his defeated stallion for his next match. What witches' brew would he apply to make Cadillac stronger and more powerful... only time would tell. No matter the tonic applied, THE VOICE INSIDE was ready for their next meeting.... or would TMM send another of his evil warriors to challenge for the throne yet again. "TRY NOT!!! Do or DO NOT! There is no try!" were the words or wisdom whispered into the ears of The Voice Inside from Marma Duke. Till next turn..... SPY REPORT So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and I'm going to give you a spy report!. Say good-bye to GAMES LIBRARY, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the GENERATION X stable. It looks like the guys(?) at ASTRAL KIN had a good week as they went 3-1-0 to put them in 4th place. I guess steroids help! Hey everybody, watch out for KAREOKE KILLER, who flew up 16 points in the rankings after mashing FALRONDIAL VOTH like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a basher in the top ten was FALRONDIAL VOTH, who dropped 13 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with KAREOKE KILLER. In front of all the crowds, BOB THE INHALER took the Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay. Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the OSKSI arena. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad STATE OF MIND? Big bad STATE OF MIND. Big bad STATE OF MIND. OSKSI's afraid of the big bad STATE OF MIND. Tra la la la la! Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch GENERATION X's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from STATE OF MIND. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, BOB THE INHALER would be president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win. Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' category, FUNNY FARM FIEND was mashed by COFFEE HOUSE POET, who let FUNNY FARM FIEND know that killing members of GENERATION X is a no-no. Well, the dead guy SHUB NIGGUARTH just took DREAMS OF KADATH off his Christmas card list. The poor guy's bloodfeud just expired with zippo results. Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle. Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in OSKSI have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. Its been real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BOB THE INHALER 6928 24 4 1 119 IRATE FORMATIONS (633) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THE VOICE INSIDE 6974 11 7 0 103 STATE OF MIND (245) COFFEE HOUSE POET 6987 11 8 1 100 GENERATION X (416) CADILLAC DUNDEE 6956 19 6 1 99 IRATE FORMATIONS (633) -DAT NGUYEN 6216 19 22 0 97 AMERICAN APPRAISAL (559) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -VECTOR UNSTABLE 6231 17 10 3 94 ASTRAL KIN (230) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -WHIRLING INSELBERG 6924 6 0 0 86 IRATE FORMATIONS (633) COBBLESTONE 6633 9 7 1 82 STL RAD (602) MEGA PIXEL 6995 9 1 0 72 GENERATION X (416) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME KAREOKE KILLER 6972 10 10 1 66 GENERATION X (416) FUNNY FARM FIEND 6985 8 11 3 58 STATE OF MIND (245) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME STONED IMMACULATE 6975 12 9 0 53 STATE OF MIND (245) SKAEVOLOVIAN KOR 6970 11 11 1 52 GAMES LIBRARY (340) FALRONDIAL VOTH 6989 11 7 0 52 GAMES LIBRARY (340) ZOMBIE BAIT 6964 9 7 0 49 DREAMS OF KADATH (635) SALDORINIVAN KIRO 6977 8 12 0 48 GAMES LIBRARY (340) -FINCH'S ART 6551 7 6 0 48 STL RAD (602) -ZODIAC 5487 5 2 0 45 TECHNET (156) BOTTLE ROCKET 5470 5 6 2 43 TECHNET (156) -DIANE MACK 6435 5 5 0 42 AMERICAN APPRAISAL (559) -BRAD 5987 2 0 1 42 THICK SKULL (546) DAEROMENZIAN VAL 7026 4 6 0 39 GAMES LIBRARY (340) -JEFF DUNKLE 6391 6 9 0 34 AMERICAN APPRAISAL (559) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ALEXANDER 2889 3 0 0 33 LONG LOST ASYLUM (240) OF ALHAZRED 7025 5 2 0 29 DREAMS OF KADATH (635) -POOL 6774 1 1 0 26 STL RAD (602) AURIGA NEBULA 7061 4 1 0 25 ASTRAL KIN (230) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME GAMMA K GRAD 7030 5 4 0 22 ASTRAL KIN (230) GALILEA 7056 5 1 0 19 ASTRAL KIN (230) -HORUS 2231 2 1 0 17 VALLEY OF KINGS (118) -IXY 7068 1 0 0 17 THICK SKULL (546) ROAD TRIPPIN 7081 2 0 0 15 GENERATION X (416) -RAY MORAN 6436 1 9 0 13 AMERICAN APPRAISAL (559) BIG RED 7052 1 3 0 10 LONG LOST ASYLUM (240) ARTIFICIAL COURAGE 7062 1 3 0 10 STATE OF MIND (245) -SOGGI 7070 1 0 0 10 THICK SKULL (546) -ULTHAR 7073 1 0 0 10 DREAMS OF KADATH (635) SNOOZE BANDIT 7060 1 2 0 9 GENERATION X (416) HUSTLERS AMBITION 7063 2 2 0 8 STATE OF MIND (245) -EXI 7069 1 0 0 8 THICK SKULL (546) -KING TUT 2230 1 2 0 6 VALLEY OF KINGS (118) -MORONA 7053 1 1 1 5 LONG LOST ASYLUM (240) MARKESSIAN SKO 7082 1 1 0 4 GAMES LIBRARY (340) WISP OF DARKNESS 7080 0 2 0 2 DREAMS OF KADATH (635) -ANHUR 2246 0 1 0 1 VALLEY OF KINGS (118) -PAIN ABSORBER 2264 0 1 0 1 THE SUBGENIUS (199) CASSIOPEIA 7085 0 1 0 1 ASTRAL KIN (230) -PRIMU 7067 0 1 0 1 THICK SKULL (546) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Do you suppose it was wearing the "poet shirt" under your armor that did the trick? If so, I might try that myself. Of course, I night have to actually write or at least recite poetry to make it work. Horrid thought. I'm not sure I want a win that badly. Anyway, congratulations on yours. You earned it. -- Falrondial Voth You wouldn't look as good in a poet shirt as she does. Kareoke Killer -- Perhaps if we gave you a bucket, you could use it to carry a tune in? I gotta tell you, I feel good about that win. Like I'm doing something right... for once. -- Skaevolovian Kor Ha! The Ambitious Guard thought he'd intimidate me with his height, but! I'm as tall as he is! And a better fighter. -- Daeromenzian Val Many are. The Userous Merchant was hopelessly over-matched. He obviously didn't realize that back home, we start haggling in the market place as soon as we can talk, regardless of our station in life. -- Saldorinivan Kiro Artificial Courage -- What is it with these Commission people? How can I be a dwarf? I think it must be the mustache, but I'm not going to shave it. -- Markessian Sko P.S. Ah, I believe the proper comment here is "Good fight." Cobblestone -- We didn't figure it was deliberate, and we honor your willingness to be bloodfeuded. But that's unlikely to happen except by accident. Way too much going on here to mess around with strategy changes, much less challenges for pointless revenge. Go and sin no more. -- Jorja, Games Library Artificial Courage -- You showed up to fight, that was courage enough. -- Daeromenzian Val Mega Pixel -- I always, well, often strive for the impossible goal. -- Falrondial Voth 19 August 10 POSTED: Arena recruitment effort, DM 32, Arvat -- seeing as our arena Participation has dwindled in recent months, we're offering the following incentive to any new teams looking for a new home arena. We will GIVE a Free Rollup to any manager willing to agree to fight in Arvat for the next 10 turns. We have a number of VERY solid arena teams stockpiled, and while we don't promise tournament godlings, we are certain we can come up with teams with 3, 4 or even 5 solid arena warriors to start out with. In addition we'll honor any no-challenge requests by relatively new managers to help you get off on the right foot. If interested, please contact the Devil Advocates via Diplo or contact theDarkOne via IM on the www DOT reality DOT com site. We will even give a choice of teams available if requested. 21 August 2010 *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** ALLIANCES OF ALASTARI *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** COME ONE, COME ALL MEET NEW FRIENDS AND FORM NEW TEAMS WIN ROLLUP CERTS AND RSI SPONSORED PRIZES ************************************************************************************* THE TURF WAR IS HERE AGAIN!!!!! ************************************************************************************* *TURF WAR VII RULES* Starting Nov 2010 (12 turns) Bring acclaim and glory to the North Fork (DM47) arena. Anyone may participate; known alliances, new alliances, or temporary alliances created solely to compete in the Turf War! To participate, each alliance must: 1. Announce the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter. 2. Indicate in the newsletter which Captain/alliance you will join. 3. Announcements made on the D2 Forums or elsewhere will not be accepted. Captains are responsible for: 1. Verifying/authorizing, in the North Fork newsletter those who wish to participate under the banner of their alliance. (Lack of participant indication of joining and/or lack of lack of Captain confirmation will delay a team's participation in the Turf War.) 2. Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War. 3. Submit two (2) RSI Roll-Up Certificates to participate. (Note: Captains may, if they wish, submit certs for all potential members of their alliance.) Participating managers who are not Captains must: 1. Submit two (2) RSI Roll-Up Certificates to participate (Unless already submitted by Captain. Note: extras will not be returned, but will go into the winning pool of prizes.) 2. Announce their intent to compete with manager name, team name, and alliance they will represent in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter. Announcement made on the D2 Forums will not be accepted. a. No scores will be tabulated until an RSI Gift Certificate is received, and participant indication and captain confirmation are posted in the North Fork newsletter. NO EXCEPTIONS. b. Before a manager can compete, he/she must declare themselves in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter as stated above AND be verified in the newsletter by the alliance Captain they will represent. c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. No multiple teams or aliases will be allowed. Violations will result in immediate disqualification (including team point adjustments) from the Turf War (so be sure to take any multiple teams OFF of Team Maintenance and be certain not to run any other team warriors). d. Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams/alliances that do not properly declare or get captain confirmation or fail to send a Gift Certificate by Turn 1. In other words, if your Gift Certificate is not received until Turn 3 of the Turf War, and you have fought on Turns 1 and 2, your score will not begin until Turn 3. All conditions must be met before scoring will begin--declaration, verification, and Gift Certificate received. e. No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 5 of the Turf War. f. For purposes of scoring, the moderators will score the Turf War and settle any and all disputes as they arise. Their decisions will be final. (Note: the intent is to have a very thorough set of rules so that few decisions, if any, are required from the moderators.) Scoring will be as follows for Fights: Win Loss Kill Die Up Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5 Down Challenge 0 -2 0 -5 Match Up +1 -1 +1 -5 Bloodfeud Challenge (Up or Down) +2 -5 +5 -10 Champion ** x2 x2 x2 x2 Dark Arena* +10 -5 xx xx Tournament Death*** -5 Halfway (6 round total) best alliance win/loss percentage **** Final (12 round total) alliance w/l% percentage **** *After 2nd win in DA, warrior scores no additional points for wins, ** A Champion's double score applies to his score only -- not to the opponent. *** No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death or death in a tournament. There must be a maximum of five only on a team at any point and time. (The penalty for such substitution is -10 points.) Points awarded for tournament participation are 5 for any entrant, 15 for a TV and 25 for a TC. Death in a tournament negates any tournament points gained and results in a-5 score. ***** Halfway points scored are 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 5, 5 (etc) for 1st, 2nd, 3rd (etc). (to qualify for any of these points the alliance must have fought 75% of its possible fights.) Final 12 Round points scored are 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5, 5, 5 (etc) for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd (etc). (to qualify for any of these points the alliance must have fought 75% of its possible fights.) Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows: Spy Report mention (team name only) +2 1. No matter how many mentions or stylemasters, an individual team can score only +2 in each category per round Style Master +2 1. No matter how many mentions or stylemasters, an individual team can score only +2 in each category per round Duelmaster +2 Champions: 1. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory. 2. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time. 3. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior in the arena, but not the Dark Arena, may be replaced. 4. Champions must have fought at least one previous fight in the North Fork (DM47 arena) to be able to be declared a champion. Bloodfeuds: 1. Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns. 2. There is no limit to which warrior may bloodfeud or how often. Tournament Considerations: 1. Tournament participation is ALLOWED and encouraged. 2. Tournament Victors won during the course of the contest will gain a one (1) time bonus of 25 15 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) wins such status. 3. Tournament Champions won during the course of the contest will gain a one (1) time bonus of 50 25 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) win such status. 4. Points awarded for tournament participation are 5 for any entrant, (15 total for a TV and 25 total for a TC.) However, death in a tournament will result in a -5 score for that tournament. (If a warrior TV's and is subsequently killed in a tournament the points scored are -5 for that tournament.) 5. Points for TVs and TCs and tournament deaths will be applied the Turn after RSI posts tournament results in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter (i.e., if the results post on North Fork turn 275, points will be credited on North Fork turn 276 to the applicable teams). Special Considerations: 1. Each alliance begins the Turf War with zero (0) points. 2. There will be NO alliance or team changes once the contest has begun. If you begin the Turf War with Alliance A, you must end the Turf War with Alliance A. If you begin the Turf War with Team A, you must end the Turf War with Team A. 3. There will be a maximum of five (5) teams allowed per alliance for the Turf War VII. 4. The Dark Arena may be used on the first turn only, of every warrior, without penalty. Prizes: The Turf War is normally a "winner take all" contest. However, for TWVII, a prize will be awarded each of the twelve turns to the individual team/manager that fights five fights and has the best w/l record that turn. (Tiebreakers are in order - kills, recognition points earned.) All prizes and 100% of the Gift Certificates will be awarded to the Captain of the winning alliance at the end of the competition. It is the responsibility of the Captain to distribute Gift Certificates. Moderators will submit a list of each manager on the winning alliance to RSI at the completion of the contest for the non-Certificate prizes. All entry fees (rollup certs) are awarded to the winning alliance, except for the twelve reserved for the individual winning manager each week.) The following prizes have been secured from RSI: 1. Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena; 2. Renaming of all Dark Arena Monsters (two for each manager in the winning alliance); 3. Known Favorites for one warrior on each team of the winning alliance (warrior must be ranked Initiate or above, must be alive, and must have at least one DM47 arena fight to receive this award). 4. +1 Skill bonus potion for each manager on the winning alliance. Bonus potion must be applied to a living warrior from (DM 47) 5. +1 Skill bonus potion (one) for each and every individual manager who fights in all 12 rounds AND 54 fights of the Turf War. Bonus potion must be applied to a living warrior from (DM 47) These RSI awards will be listed by the Moderator for claiming from RSI (Lee) within 4 turns of the end of TW VI. The certs will be mailed to the winning alliance by the Moderators within two weeks of the end of the TW. Moderators: The Moderators for this event will be Oz and Master Darque. They will arbitrate all dealings during the course of the contest. Their decisions will be final. All questions, comments, and scoring disputes may be directed to Land of Oz or Darque Forces via diplo in DM 47. Managers with internet access may send a private message to [The Consortium] or [Darque] on the Duel2 Forums. Lastly, you may also email questions, comments, and scoring disputes to rebelnerfherder at yahoo dot com or wfms101 at aol dot com. Please note there have been rule changes from the last Turf War. Please read them carefully! This contest will begin in November 2010 following the Fall Mail In. LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS COFFEE HOUSE POET devastated FUNNY FARM FIEND in a 2 minute Bloodfeud fight.
