TEAM SPOTLIGHT
"Heh... But we didn't do any..."
"I sez shaddup both of yas! Yoos don talk until one of yas tellz me who did da ting!"
Gutsag Bakwort was livid. "Now. Tellz me who did it. No more liez or excusez. I only
want who dunnit. I will accept finger pointing."
For a moment the two goblins standing in front of him hesitantly looked at each other
as if considering doing that. But they stopped short and looked innocently at their
boss. As innocently as one could, considering they were goblins.
Gutsag began to pace back and forth as he interrogated the goblins.
"Datz wat we're tryin' ta tell ya boss. Hehehehe... We'ez innocent. We have been good
an loyal gobbos from the start. Heh... Isn't dat right, cousin Wiley?"
"Right yas are, cousin 'Acky. Wez right as rain... Hehehee... Plop... Blue wakka..."
"I sez enough! Rumour is dat someone sabo-tah-geed Humble Lee's day. Someone turned
off sumthin' called an al arm clock. And din dey tied sum shoe laces together. Dey
must be pretty crafty ta figure out how ta tie shoez. And din dem guys stole some tea.
Who in their right mind would drink dat tea stuff. It iz almost as bad as dat coffee
stuff."
"Erm... Hehehehe... Boss. Longshot drinks dat coffee stuff when he haz one of dem
funny cigarettes."
"Yeah. He smokes dem cigars an haz coffee. But we can excuse him. He is nutz. He
thinks he comes from some place called earf in annodr dime mention."
Gutsag physically shivered.
"Now where wuz I?"
"Tea stealing, Boss," 'Acky said with a smile.
"Right. Dey stole her tea. And ta top it off; dey covered her armour wit honey an
sicced a bear on her. Who lunatic doez dat?!?!?"
Gutsag rounded on the two goblins and glared at them. But this didn't phase them at
all. They simply flashed their beady little goblin eyes in an attempt at looking more
innocent than the last six times Gutsag glared at them.
"Yoos guys had better watch the nonsense. I'm not sayin' yoos are guilty. But I am
sayin' yoos two will keep ya snot lockers outta trouble. The whole city iz laughin' at
us because they think we did those tings ta Humble Lee."
"Stoopid Lee, Boss." Wiley corrected.
Gutsag stormed up to the goblin. The act looked comical considering the orc towered
over the goblin and all the minute green skin saw was his ample belly bumping into his
nose.
"Wat did yoos say?"
"Uh... Hehehehee... The boyz call her Stoopid Lee."
"Git out now! Yoos two are annoyin' me. Plus I need ta figure out who put twenty-six
midori sours on da stable's bar tab. What is a midori sour? Iz dat some fancy fruit?"
The goblins did not answer. They were too busy hurrying out of Gutsag's office. The
door slamming was their reply.
"Whew... Heheheheh... Dat wuz close. Do ya tink he figured us out?" Wiley asked as the
two walked down the hall of their stable house. He looked over his shoulder to make
sure their boss hadn't followed them out.
"Naw... We're safe... Heheheheh... Why did ya leave a bear in her dressin room. The
plan was ta use bees. Der wuz a perfectly good hive hanging on a branch out in the
forest. It wuz a big sucka too," 'Acky said. He was a little disappointed about the
lack of bees.
"No way... Heheheheh... Dat would have taken forever. Do yos know how long it would
take to catch a bee, walk it into town, and release it in her dressing room? Der wuz
hundreds of bees in dat hive," Wiley replied.
Acky stopped walking and glared at Wiley.
"Wat?" Wiley asked bemused.
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hurhurhurhur... Here I am. Da big guy. Da boss. Da duelin' mastah. Boy! Ya should of
seen dat girl, 'Umble Lee. Dat wuz sum funny stuff right there. After feelin' 'er out,
I began my flurry of attacks. She wuz so afraid dat she cried out fer mercy.
*** High Pitched voice*** "No. No. Mr. Bakwort. No more! Mercy!"
But I wuz not 'aving any of dat. So I tell 'er, 'Yoos been a bad girl. So yoos gitz da
smackins.' Dat'll teach 'er ta mess wit an orc. Hurhurhur.
Now if yas excuse me. I 'ave ta go to the lil orcs room. Da Prancin Pony left da
backdoor ta der kitchen opened an dey were cooking a ten pound pot of black beanz
complete with chunks of pork. I musta been 'ungry cause I ate da whole ting. Now dem
beanz are back with a vengeance.
By da way; do any of yoos know wat a Midori Sour iz? Sum bum had 26 of dem an added
dem ta our tab. I tink it is a fruit. In dat case it musta been sum lousy elf.
Oh! Gotta go!
-- Gutsag Bakwort, Da Duelin' Mastah
SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in ARKERS! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Too bad, Z GLADIATORZ, but HOYT
FOUNDATION was just too good to be stopped. LADIES IN WAITING like really fought
hard to move up to 4th from 7th. Way to go! What was the name of that team who got
4-1-1 this turn for a total 136-127-13 you ask? (Sure) HOYT FOUNDATION's their
name, and fighting's their game! MVP award for TOOTHLESS LOVE? HOYT FOUNDATION's
proud of her after beating WILY GIT and getting 23 points. Talk about yer major
upsets! WILY GIT's match with TOOTHLESS LOVE cost him a loss of 18 points! MISS
TOOK thinks hers 19-13-1 and studly character is good enough to face up to the
Duelmaster. Any bets? Was that a tear I saw in MISS TOOK's eye, as she took over
Duelmastership? And wasn't GUTSAG BAKWORT fit to be tied! Is the Duelmaster really
being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? HOYT FOUNDATION was the most avoided team. Is a
136-127-13 record really that scary? I don't know what LADIES IN WAITING's been
doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from HOYT FOUNDATION,
that's fer sher. Like, is HUMBLE LEE popular, or what? She was challenged the most
in all of ARKERS! She's got a 20-22-0, is that good? JHERI BLOOMERS is being
unfair. It's challenged down 29 against MAUD STONEGUT. I don't know why they let
this stuff go on. (I'd better shut up) JHERI BLOOMERS beat MAUD STONEGUT. No
surprise about that. Really I'm not surprised JHERI BLOOMERS would do such a scummy
thing, either.
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All ARKERS ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. I hear THE TRAVELERS sent LORD SHADOW to the Dark Arena. What,
is that like not well-lit, or what? Hey! Quit laughing! Just because LADY SMOKE
had 2-11-0 was no reason for THE TRAVELERS to send her to the Dark Arena! Stop it!
How cruel! THE TRAVELERS heartlessly sent hers to ALAMARAYANE certain fate in the
Dark Arena. Is a 2-13-0 bad or something? Hey you guys, don't you think your
families would like to hear from you? Write! (Or have someone write for you.)
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really
should stop. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Gutsag Bakwort, we Smithsonians salute a winner and Duelmaster. -- Curator
Cheshire Moon, it was nice of you to challenge me under your new name and all, but I
was on, and I was in a rush to go count my gold. -- Gold Rush
Miss Matched, I guess you were, but it is always a pleasure to wrestle with a lady. --
Pilgrim (wondering if they were really real?)
Well, well, Death Leaser and Hoyt Foundation, how unkind and downright unpleasant of
you to kill Saratoga. He may not have been the greatest warrior in the world (14-9-12-
15-15-8-11), but he was a friend and he was mine. -- Curator (Feeling a little down.)
Meanwhile, the Rose Bowl cometh. -- Curator
Gutsag, I WANT you! -- Gold Rush
Health. Humility. Honor. -- Curator
Ze Z's ve onny 3-0? Yuzk! Ze wan ze Dulemazter. Yah! -- The Z Man
Maud Stonegate, you challenged, you messed with a Z Gladiatorz, you lost. Is that your
rendition of Veni Vidi Vici? Har har. -- Zirconium
Civ Crim, that'll teach you to mess with me. -- Zephyr
Lord Shadow, I guess you never learned how to slice a zucchini? I enjoy an easy win.
-- Zucchini
Ze Z's ve take over Arkerz, Yah! -- Mr, Z
Book of Thomas -- Well, it seems Mantor saw fit for us to receive another dose of
Justice. And yet again Hodge Podge ate hit after hit. Here is my prediction; Hodge
Podge will miss this turn for fear of me waiting in the shadows. Stay scared. -- Ral
Stormbreaker
Gold Rush -- What is this nonsense about Sandy and cruelty. I have heard she is a
saint. I heard that little children rush to encircle her and sing her praise when she
walks outside. They dance about and offer her smiles. Little sparrows land gently onto
her opened palm and hop about singing. Surely you are talking about some other Sandy.
-- Longshot
Willa the Mist -- Lady Willa, I will not make you endure my boast or belittle your
skill. You had me worried there for a minute. Your stable should be proud of you. You
are a brave soul and worthy of respect. Unlike the Book of Thomas who are a stable of
cowards. I reluctantly await your next attempt. -- Albus Bonerattler
Pip Squeak -- Heeeeere Pippy Running Stockings. Heeeeeeere Pippy, pippy, pippy, pippy.
Come on Pippy. I have a nice jer-hawk for you. Look at that. It is nice and shiny?
Come on out. If you do, you can have it. Come on out. You can have ice cream and rock
candy and liquorice whips. All you have to do is come out. Don't worry about what is
behind my back. Just come out and take the jer-hawk. -- Hal the Crazed
War Pig -- Sorry. I barely noticed you. You were like one of those yip dogs the rich
women have. That high pitched sound you make is quite annoying. Wait... weren't you
killed by a zucchini? -- Kangri the Strong
Miss Construed -- Hehhehhehehehehe... Yoos thought ya could beat me? Yoos been miss

manager 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). NOTE: Since alliances require three teams, this would mean the
remaining alliance/alliance members cannot score in the TW.
Any Turf War team must show/be posted/listed in the DM47 Newsletter just prior to
their actual scoring/participation. (E.g. New teams, transfers, current teams must
show up in the newsletter prior to the beginning of participation, allowing opponent
knowledge and challenging/avoiding.) Manager/teams may not participate/score in the
Turf War the same turn they are first posted in the newsletter. (So get your team in
the newsletter early.)Clarifying: All teams MUST show up in the NL just prior to the
first TW turn to be allowed to score in the first TW round. Teams do not have to run
that turn prior to TW-T1, but will have had to run shortly before to allow their
warriors to be visible in the newsletter just prior to TW-T1.
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, confirmation, and Gift Certificate
received.
No declarations or confirmations will be accepted after Turn 3 of the Turf War.
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.)
No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death or death
in a tournament or graduation. There must be a maximum of five only on a team at any
point and time. (The penalty for such substitution is -10 points.)
SCORING will be as follows:
* Only top two base score teams score/count per round per alliance.
* Top one base score team per alliance scores twice (double).
* Lowest team base score per alliance gets a ?pass? and does not score.
* Team is disqualified for round scoring if fighting less than 5 fights.
(Exception:The turn after a Mailer or FTF where a death occurred to a TW
team/manager, the manager may fight only four and be scored. If multiple deaths,
then multiple ?non fight? exemptions occur for that turn after the tournament.)
* If a team is disqualified from scoring, the remaining top one base score team
scores double and the lowest team gets a ?pass? and does not score.
* If two disqualified teams occur, the third team cannot score double and only scores
single.
BASE SCORING = W = +2 L = -1 K = +1 Death = 0
Those scores are the same for match ups, up or down challenges, NPC matches,
or Dark Arena fights. With these exceptions:
--- Each warrior is limited to two DA matches during the TW. A 3rd and subsequent DA
fight during the TW shall be scored at -5 points (win or lose.)
--- Alliance Match Up scored = 0 for each warrior. Kill point disallowed.
--- Intra Alliance Challenge scored = -1 for each warrior; no kill points may score.
(It is not the spirit of competition to challenge fellow members of the same
alliance. Hence, challenges as such will be scored as losses for both warriors
with no kill points awarded.)
First 6 rounds scores 1x.
End of round 6, top alliance adds 6 points. 2nd adds 4, 3rd adds 2, 4th adds 1.
Rounds 7 thru 9 scores 2x.
Final round 10 scores 3x.
Tournament Considerations:
1. Tournament participation is allowed and ENCOURAGED as a great form of
recognition for North Fork.
2. It is an opportunity to gain skills and preferred challenging within the Turf
War.
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 X, you must end the Turf War with Alliance X.
If you begin the Turf War with Team X, you must end the Turf War with Team X.
3. There will be a maximum of three (3) teams/managers allowed per alliance for
the Turf War VII. The minimum is three (3).
4. The Dark Arena may be used without penalty.(Limit twice per warrior.)
5. If at any time, the Moderators determine that any non-TW team in the arena is
aiding and/or abetting any TW alliance or team, the affected points won by the
gifted team/alliance will be disallowed and the aiding non-TW team will be
asked to desist from play in the arena until after the Turf War concludes.
Prizes:
The Turf War is meant to be a near "winner takes all" contest. It is the
responsibility of the Captain of the winning alliance to distribute Gift Certificates.
Moderators will submit a list of each manager winner to RSI at the completion of the
contest for the non-Certificate and RSI awarded prizes, to then be claimed by the
manager from RSI Customer Service within 6 months.
* Winning alliance gets 90% of the pooled certs.
* Individual Team with most wins in 10 rounds gets 10% of the pooled certs.
* RSI awards: (all must be applied to DM47 warriors, cannot create out-of-bounds
warrior, and one max prize applied to any warrior ? all within 6 months)(one
max prize means that if you win two prizes they cannot be applied to the same
warrior.)
* Winning alliance captain may choose two (each manager/team receives same prize
as chosen by captain):
- Limited Damage Bump (bump one level damage) (warrior must have fought in the
TW)
- Stat replace (remove 2 SZ, replace 2 to any other stat) (warrior must have
fought in the TW)
- Choice Replacement (Receive 5 replacements, choose 1, delete 4)
- Replacement stat swap (Replace/flip any 2 stats on one replacement)

These RSI awards will be listed by the Moderators within two weeks of round ten for
individual claiming from RSI within 4 turns of the end of TWX. The certs will be
mailed to the winning alliance by the Moderators within two weeks of the end of the
TW.

Addendum:
Examples of scoring for clarification.
Code = win-loss-kill-death (W = +2 L = -1 K = +1 Death = 0)
Example #1:
Team A goes 2-3-0-0 (points = +4-3+0-0 = +1)
Team B goes 3-2-1-0 (points = +6-2+1-0 = +5)
Team C goes 2-3-2-0 (points = +4-3+2-0 = +3)
Team B top score, scores twice 2x+5 (+10)
Team A lowest score, does not score and gets a pass.
Team C, then, scores normal at (+3)
Alliance Score = 10 + 3 = +13
Example #2:
Team A goes 4-0-1-0 (points = +8-0+1-0 = +9)
Team B goes 3-2-0-0 (points = +6-2+0-0 = +4)
Team C goes 2-3-0-0 (points = +4-3+0-0 = +1)
Team A is disqualified from scoring having not fought five fights.
If a team is disqualified, then the top remaining team scores double while the lowest
remaining score gets a ?pass?.
Team B top remaining score, scores twice = 2 x +4 (+8)
Team C lowest score, does not score and gets a pass.
Alliance Score = 8
Example #3
Team A goes 4-1-1-0 (points +8-1+1+0 = +8)
However, Team A fought the DA for the 3rd time = -5.
Team A adjusted to (+8-1=1=0-5 = +3)
Team B goes 1-4+0-0 (points +2-4+0-0 = -2)
Team C goes 1-4+1-0 (points +2-4+1-0 = -1)
Team A top score, scores twice 2x+3 (+6)
Team B lowest score, does not score and gets a pass.
Team C, then, scores normal at (-1)
Alliance score = +6-1 = +5
Example #4
Team A goes 1-4-0-0 (points = +2-4+0-0 = -2)
Team B goes 1-4-0-0 (points = +2-4+0-0 = -2)
Team C goes 0-5-0-0 (points = +0-5+0-0 = -5)
Team A or B is top score and scores twice 2x-2 = -4
Team C lowest score, does not score and gets a pass.
Team B, then, scores normal at (-2)
Alliance score = -4-2 = -6
Example #5
Team A goes 3-2-0 with a winning match-up with Team B alliance mate.
Team B goes 2-3-1-0 with a winning and killing challenge to Team C alliance mate.
Team B also lost the alliance match-up with Team A.
Team C goes 1-4-0-1 having been killed in a challenge from alliance mate Team B
Team A points normally = +6-2+0-0 = +4, but one win was an alliance match-up which
scores as 0, hence score = +4-2+0-0 = +2
Team B points normally = +4-3+1-0 = +2, but one loss was an alliance match up which
counts as 0, and one winning kill was an intra alliance challenge which the win counts
as -1 and the kill is negated. Hence Team B score = +1-2+0-0 = -1
Team C points normally = +2-4+0-0 = -2; with one loss and kill coming from an intra
alliance challenge, but the IAC (intra alliance challenge) scores (-1)the same as a
loss and there are no points scored for being killed, the +2-4+0-0 = (-2) stands.
Team A top score, scores twice 2x+2 (+4)
Team C lowest score, does not score and gets a pass.
Team B, then, scores normal at (-1)
Alliance score = +4-1 = +3
Remember: (W = +2 L = -1 K = +1 Death = 0)
It only gets complicated with intra alliance match-ups (IAMs) and intra alliance
challenges. (IACs)
