TEAM SPOTLIGHT
The Frothingslosh Syndicate is proud to announce 99 Bottles of Beer III!!! (+ 100):
Sponsored by ALFREDOVISION(TM): for a Better Tomorrow, and a Better Today.
The contest will be in honor and celebration of turn 199 of SEAM DM 20.
Your objective is simple: be the first team to accumulate 199 Bottles of Beer!
The first part of the contest will be a 15 turn "warm-up" starting on turn 184, due
7/4/22, but you are encouraged to start your team as early as possible. During this
casual "meet and greet" stage, all teams will earn one bottle per turn simply by
fielding a full team of 5 warriors and writing at least one personal ad. BTW guys, for
the sake of simplicity, your Host and Cruise director asks that you PLEASE do not sign
your ad expecting me to know who you are. If you are not 100% certain, then please
state very clearly EVERY TURN what team you are associated with so i do not have to go
through past newsletters to try to figure out who you are. Also do not forget to write
a personal ad for the turn 184 newsletter! Simply stating who you are would be great.
Something like, "Hi Seam. I'm John, the manager of John's team" is certainly
sufficient.
The real fireworks will start on turn 199, due on 1/30/23. That is when the teams will
start to earn Bottles for Arena Performance, which will be earned/awarded as follows:
* Bottles awarded for being active and writing a personal ad are discontinued.
* 5 Bottles for each invite to ADM, AWARDED UPON THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF INVITE IN THE
NEWSLETTER with the opportunity to earn 1 extra bottle ON THE FOLLOWING TURN for
achieving a kill in the Dark Arena on their last fight. Note that this Bottle is a
"bonus;" you will also earn a Bottle for the win; bottles awarded for wins are
outlined below.
* 3 Bottles for each turn as Duelmaster, with the opportunity to earn 1 extra bottle
for writing a Duelmaster's column COLLECTED ON THE FOLLOWING TURN when the column
is actually published. It does not have to be fancy but has to be "something": 99
words minimum.
* 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 Bottles for Team on the Move and Current Top Team. In the case
of ties, partial bottles will be awarded and will count towards your total.
* 2 Bottles for Chartered Recognition Leader
* 2 Bottles for This Week's Favorite
* 2 Bottles for TOP CAREER HONORS Chartered Team
* 0 Bottles for each turn as Overall Popularity Leader. Additionally, you will pay a
1 BOTTLE PENALTY on the following turn if you fail to post a personal ad
apologizing for your ostentatious behavior! OR...you can choose to brag further
about how astonishingly wonderful you actually are, and are more than worthy of
all the accolades you get from your adoring fans.
* 1 Bottle for a successful Bloodfeud: limit two bottles per incident.
* 2 Bottles for each Stylemaster as listed in the newsletter. In other words, the
rules for being awarded bottles for Stylemaster are the same as they are in the
arena: winning record, adept or above.
* 1 bottle for each win, or two bottles for each kill in the regular arena. Warriors
that manage to return from the Dark Arena earn one bottle for the win only.
If more than one team achieves or surpasses 199 Bottles on the same turn, the team
with the higher total will be the victor. Partial Bottles having been awarded make the
event of a tie at the end much less likely; any fraction of a bottle lead that you may
have *will* count. In the unlikely event that there is an exact tie for any place that
receives a prize, those teams involved will continue playing until a winner can be
decided.
The top three places will win one or more "Cream of the Slosh" replacements:
* 1st Place: 3 CotS replacements
* 2nd Place: 2 CotS replacements
* 3rd Place: 1 CotS replacements
A CotS replacement is 10 standard, ordinary Duelmasters teamsheets that are specially
"marked" and grouped together by the Spy Commision to be used for this single purpose
only. The winning manager then chooses any one out of the 50 warriors on the 10
teamsheets they wish to be their "Cream of the Slosh" replacement; the other 49 are
simply discarded. Note that you are free to use your CotS replacement anytime you have
an opening on your team in Seam; in other words, you are not required to Dark Arena
nor do you have to pass on a good naturally occurring replacement.
However, CotS replacements will not be allowed to hide their status: all CotS
replacements will be required to start its name with these three symbols: O^O (capital
O, shift-6 [caret symbol], capital O. This surely will cause them to be a "target" of
challenges, but also will serve as a badge of honor for them to wear proudly. In the
case of winning multiple CotS replacements, you will be required to wait at least 10
ACTIVE turns in between using your CotS replacements; you will only receive one CotS
packet at a time. Just send a note in to the Spy Commission with your 10th turn's
orders to receive your new CotS packet with your turn's results.
Note that 6 CotS replacements being won in total is the guaranteed minimum. I have
been informed that if the contest has an unusually large turnout, the Spy Commission
MAY choose to spice up the prize pool with additional CotS replacements. Understand
there are no guarantees (other than them 6 as listed), and these Spies were rather
"vague" and sometimes can be a little sketchy. But, for what it's worth, I figured I
should pass the information on just in case it does actually have merit.
But that's not all! For those of you that wish to spice up the contest even further,
we are featuring an additional and completely voluntary "Contest Within a Contest" for
which there will be a one time fee of 6 RSI Gift Certificates to enter. The prize pool
for the CWAC will be one "6-pack" of Duelmasters Gift Certificates (no cash value;
each may be redeemed for one Duelmasters teamsheet) for every manager who chooses to
participate. The prize pool will divided up among the winning players as follows:
* 1st place: 1/2 of all the teamsheets
* 2nd place: 1/3 of all the teamsheets
* 3rd place: 1/6 of all the teamsheets
I just want to clarify that managers competing for the CWAC teamsheets are only
competing against each other. So, for example, if you place second in the main contest
but the main contest winner did not choose to participate in the CWAC, you will then
be the first place winner of the CWAC (and receive half of all the sheets in the prize
pool). Additionally, if the CWAC proves to be very popular and gets many entries, I
may pay out more places. Any such decisions will be discussed and finalized prior to
turn 199.
I will do my best to write a Contest Update every turn which will obviously be based
on the totals from the previous turn. I also plan to start an email list that you may
join if you wish. I will send out the updated contest standings to this list...likely
very soon after the newsletter is posted; I will actually be so bold to suggest that I
might get your contest update prior to getting your mail! So everyone can have up-to-
date standings, but also gives you the chance to point out any errors I might have
made prior to sending in the official update to be printed in the newsletter.
Other Rules:
* Once the first team equals or surpasses the required 199 Bottles total, THE
CONTEST IS OVER unless there are any ties to work out, and in that case the
contest will continue to the following turn ONLY for those teams involved. Your
official contest ranking will be based on whatever position you are holding at the
time that the first team(s) surpasses 199 bottles, even in the unlikely event of a
tie for first place and the winner has not yet been determined.
* NO AVOIDS: This will be STRICTLY ENFORCED starting on Turn 199. Any team caught
avoiding will be REMOVED from the contest and their entry fee (if any) WILL NOT be
refunded! And trust me, with the number of nosy spy reporters out there, YOU WILL
get caught.
* Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated and will be grounds for
disqualification. Coordinating challenges is allowed; non-aggression pacts are
allowed. "Taking a dive" (ie: throwing fights) is definitely NOT allowed. Any
allegations of cheating will be investigated seriously; any decision made by the
spy commission regarding said allegations will be final. Ladies and gentlemen:
let's keep this clean, okay? None of us are kids anymore!
* Seam is a "non-tourney" arena, and as such you are required to field a full team
of 5 warriors every turn! Any warrior that has 1 FE or more missing the turn will
incur a 3-Bottle penalty for their team. You are highly encouraged to put your
entire team on maintenance, to guard against any mistakes. If you have a warrior
"accidentally' sit out the turn, you will "accidentally" incur a 3-bottle penalty
;>. Any rookie warrior missing a turn will only incur a 1-Bottle penalty for
their team. I am aware that those poor noobs often get lost temporarily.
* There will be no penalty for your *entire team* missing a turn. It is certainly
not recommended, however!
* No tournament experience or "enhanced" warriors will be allowed.
* If you wish to participate in the optional "contest within a contest," you must
announce your intention to participate prior to turn 190 being processed (due
9/26). The one-time entry fee of 6 RSI Gift Certificates will be charged to your
account at that time.
YOU are invited; you are encouraged to start early if you like! The Frothingslosh
Syndicate invites you to Bottle! Er...ah...battle!
***---------*---------*---------*---------**---------*---------*---------*---------***
BOTTLES OF BEER III!!! (+100) CONTEST: NEWS FROM THE GLADITORIAL COMMISSION: ALL
PARTICIPANTS WIN A PRIZE! Plus contest clarifications:
You heard right my friends: ALL 99 Bottles participants who do not miss more than 1
turn during the entire contest (including the warm-up phase) will receive a "Pick of
the Litter" replacement. A PotL replacement will be 10 ordinary random replacements:
you pick the one you wish to keep, and the other 9 are discarded. Naturally, this
replacement must be placed in DM 20.
What's new:
Your CotS "status symbol": O^O (capital O, shift-6, capital O) must appear somewhere
in it's name. However, it may appear anywhere. It need not be in the beginning as was
originally stated. So names such as MO^ONSHOT or THRU THE O^O will be quite
acceptable..
Some clarifications:
* Do not forget to write a personal ad for the Turn 184 newsletter. In other words,
assuming you do start on turn 184, you need to send in a personal ad with your very
first turn.
The requirement to write a personal ad is discontinued once the Arena Achievement
stage starts on turn 199.
* This should not be an issue, but Bottles for Arena Awards will be awarded for
chartered teams only.
* If you win one or more of the CotS replacements, they/it MUST be used in DM 20.
* Note that the NO AVOIDS policy will be STRICLY ENFORCED!! If you are caught
avoiding, you will be disqualified from the contest! HOWEVER--this does not start
until turn 199; no one including myself or the Gladitorial Commission will give a
hoot about avoids until turn 199. But be sure you get it out of your system prior:
if you are caught avoiding on turn 199 (or after), you WILL be disqualified!!
* On the other hand, fielding a partial team is a no-no RIGHT FROM THE START on turn
184. You will receive a 3-bottle penalty for any inactive warrior, or 1-bottle
penalty for any inactive rookie. And your Bottle total can and will go negative if
necessary.
It is highly recommended that you place your team "on maintenance" to avoid any
complications caused due to slow mail or any other unforeseen catastrophy. In case
you are not familiar with the term: a team on maintenance will automatically run
again with its previous turn's strategies (without the challenges) even if none are
sent in or are not received in time, Just send your request to be put on maintenance
to CSR@reality.com.
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... MVP award for RADTEEF WAZGRIM?
BLOODY HAND CLAN's proud of him after beating BASIL HAYDEN and getting 32 points.
Talk about yer major upsets! MISS MATCHED's match with SACRILICIOUS cost her a loss
of 31 points! What a putz! BEA ZERK fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits
fighting and loses the title. No one said she was a genius... Was that a tear I saw
in RADTEEF WAZGRIM's eye, as he took over Duelmastership? And wasn't BASIL HAYDEN
fit to be tied! Who was the wiseguy that said ARKERS' Duelmaster was paying for
drinks at The Warty Toad? Don't look at me!
I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies. Really, I just
wing this stuff. SMITHSONIAN was the most avoided team. Is a 954-559-26 record
really that scary? Is there some deep dark secret why BLOODY HAND CLAN's been
avoiding SMITHSONIAN so much? Or is it just that they're too scared? Like, is
ANGELA DEATH popular, or what? She was challenged the most in all of ARKERS! She's
got a 11-11-2, is that good? People were asking me did CAMPTOWN RACES REALLY
challenge BERTA THE INDOLENT? (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!)
It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but BERTA THE INDOLENT wants me to write
about it since she was beat by CAMPTOWN RACES. Satisfied?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Hey! Quit laughing! Just because BUNKER HILL had 9-8-2 was no reason
for SMITHSONIAN to send it to the Dark Arena! Stop it! I was SO depressed when I
heard BASIL HAYDEN got killed. It was just a kid, and didn't get a fair chance in
ARKERS, or anything! What a bummer deal for XIESTRA KOR! She just barely was
getting hers "fighter feet" but got kill by DEE NILE of TRIAL BY COMBAT! Those're
the breaks, I guess. Enough already! All I've heard lately is "Will SMITHSONIAN
Bloodfeud BEA ZERK of TRIAL BY COMBAT to revenge MODEL T's death?" I mean, who
cares? What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's
what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. Its
been really albendranius! Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

a tournament prize shall be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead.
********************************************************************************
