TEAM SPOTLIGHT
WELCOME TO BATTLE ROYAL V!!
The best contest in the game has returned! I will be the host for this year's
contest. I will repost the rules here for quick viewing and will have the scores
updated here and on the duel 2 site.
These are the approved rules for the Battle Royals.
The Battle Royal is intended to be a play as you want, play what you want Delarquan
style contest with very few rules. While I'd love to say, "NO AVOIDING" is the only
rule (and that wouldn't be too far off), I must spell out situations that can and
have occurred and require additional clarification.
The advantages of this format:
1) Simple.
2) No penalty for DAs.
3) No restrictions on warriors entered into the contest (baggers, TC mods, etc all
welcome).
4) No penalty for not fighting.
5) It isn't a race where 21 wit and favorite learn determine the victor.
6) Losing a warrior (or even your whole team) doesn't eliminate you from contention.
7) It is possible to overcome almost any deficit. And this has been proven, with
managers making huge point swings in short periods of time!
8) It is a contest designed to show manager skill rather than warrior ability.
There are a few disadvantages:
1) There is no set end. It is possible for this contest to go on indefinitely. In
practice, this format has worked very nicely in the past and I expect it will
continue to work well.
2) You cannot avoid (But that is part of the fun and the head to head nature of this
contest requires this rule.)
3) It encourages bloodshed.
4) Baggers and experienced warriors have an advantage over new warriors.
Battle Royal Rules:
-- Any team in Talcama is eligible to participate. There are no restrictions on
warriors (baggers, TC prize modified, etc). However, any warrior that fights for
your team is considered in the BR. I.e. you can't declare "warrior x" isn't in the
contest but the rest of the team is. All warriors on the involved team are fair
game!
-- Teams may not avoid any other team within the contest. (Note that you may avoid
teams outside the contest but you do so at your own risk.) Avoiding a team on the
turn they enter the Battle Royal is not considered against the rules (since you
couldn't know the team wasn't part of the BR). The suggestion is not to avoid at
all. Tripwire (the contest moderator) gets an avoid report every turn and will catch
people avoiding!
-- Managers may only enter a single team in the contest.
-- Any manager with more than one team in Talcama may not challenge any other contest
warrior with their non contest team(s). The intention is that no advantage can be
gained by having multiple teams in the arena.
****Failure to comply with the above rules***
1st offense: Disqualification from the prize, but you may still participate.
2nd offense: Warning.
3rd offense: Removal from Battle Royal.
-- If a manager decides to switch teams, his score will start back at 0. This is to
prevent a manager from sweeping the contest with several teams of sandbaggers. Can a
manager use this clause to go from a negative score to zero? Yes. I realize this is
sort of cheating, but I'd rather have a manager start over with a new team than drop
out of the contest. Even so, they have to start at 0 and must gain 25 points.
-- If your warrior loses a contest fight because of an input error and this error is
verified by RSI, you will have a point added to your score. The head to head records
will remain the same and any points gained by another manager will remain on that
manager's record.
-- As soon as you are announced in the newsletter, you are officially entered into
the Battle Royal. Scoring begins on that turn! You are expected to follow the rules
that turn and every turn following. Your team may enter any time they wish during
the course of the Battle Royal.
-- If you are exiting the Battle Royal, you are not removed until the turn after your
intention is published. You are asked to follow the rules for that turn (either
through not avoiding or not running your warriors). So if you want to quit, you MUST
announce that in the personal ads and the following turn it will apply.
Scoring:
-- Scoring begins the turn your team declares participation.
-- Scoring continues through the turn your team withdraws.
-- Score is calculated by: Wins+Kills-Losses.
-- Only fights with other B.R. participannts count towards your score, but they count
whether they are challenges or random match-ups.
-- First Manager to 25 points wins!
-- In event of tie, B.R. continues until one team that has reached 25 points is ahead
of all other participants.
Disputes:
-- The attempt has been made to make these rules as complete and bulletproof as
possible, but Tripwire will resolve any disputes as fairly as he is capable.
Prizes:
For the Winner:
6 Months Free Play in Talcama for the winning team (doesn't include tourneys)!
One +1 Bonus Potion (up to max for warrior, to be used on a warrior in DM 18)!
One Limited Damage Bump Potion (one time use, up to max for stats, used on DM 18
warrior)!
One Minor Stat Switch Prize (up to 2 points can be moved from one stat to another
stat on a new rollup in DM 18, before adding 14 points. This prize can be used up to
3 months from the contest end. Both points must be used in the same place (can't
take one from a speed and one from deftness and add one to wit and will))
One Favorites Knowledge Potion (to be used on a 5+ FE warrior in DM 18)
Rename One Dark Arena Creature in DM 18, which will be renamed for 6 Months or until
the Ladies decide to return it to the previous name.
All potions/renaming prizes must be used within 2 turns of the end of the contest.
Endurance Award (available to all participants):
One +1 Bonus Potion (up to max for warrior, to be used on a warrior in DM 18)
To qualify for the Endurance Award you must participate in 90% of the total fights
possible over the course of the BR. If you don't have time to make it into the BR by
the first turn, there will be a two turn window before the counter will start for new
teams. The fights do not have to be BR point scoring fights, just 90% of the total
possible participation over the course of the contest! So, if the contest runs 26
turns, there are 130 fights possible. Your team must have 117 fights during those 26
turns to be eligible.
All prizes/potions subject to RSI's interpretation of how they are used/implemented.
RSI said the faves knowledge must be used on an Inits warrior or higher and set at
5FE or more.
Good luck to all!!

SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in TALCAMA this turn, and let's start
with a look at some of the teams. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there
are sorrows to drown for PIPELINE 115, whose 0-5-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into
15th. OF WOLF AND MAN II stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 6 space move
up the rankings. This brings them up to 6th place. Good work, guys! The GHOST
RIDERS TOO guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You
never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, TAREK fought GARION and
gained 49 points and contributed to LUROCIAN PRIDE's 1-4-0. CANDIRU has lost to
GALLOPING GHOST, falling 11 points, while helping make STREET PIZZA a 0-1-0 turn.
The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and SPARE ANCHOR remains
TALCAMA's top warrior for another turn. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear
the top team makes their losing fighters do dishes at The Original Arthur's Last
Stand until they win. Maybe?
He who challenges well, fights well. He who avoids without cause, shall lose
for good reasons. My mama told me that one. WIZARDGUARD has cause to stand tall, as
they were TALCAMA's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.
And guess who avoided WIZARDGUARD stable the most? Believe it or not, it was CENTER
FOR OLDS. Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was THE GRATEFUL
UNDEAD's warrior STEELEY SHADOW. More fighters challenged her than challenged the
Duelmaster! Tsk, tsk, tsk. DOT DOT DOT, does your manager know you're challenging
down 27 points to fight ZELANA from OF WOLF AND MAN II? Well, it only serves justice
to see that DOT DOT DOT was bested by ZELANA. Heh, heh. In a fit of brilliance or
of stupidity (hard to say sometimes), FRANK N' BERRY challenged STOWAWAY today,
facing a 44 difference in recognition. And whaddya know, FRANK N' BERRY beat
STOWAWAY, and the fighters of WIZARDGUARD were last seen lifting frothy pints of ale
in honor of FRANK N' BERRY's 27 point gain. I don't know about you, but CHOCO BOBA
BABY challenging down 18 points to THE GRATEFUL UNDEAD's BUBBLY BAALZEBUB, is not
really worthy of WIZARDGUARD. We're not surprised to hear that CHOCO BOBA BABY
overcame BUBBLY BAALZEBUB, but I bet it would be interesting to hear why WIZARDGUARD
made such a challenge.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? DEATHSTALKER TOO has departed TALCAMA, leaving WIZARDGUARD without
their 6-7-1 warrior. Question, just what was his team doing at the taverns last
night? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide
when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords
sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in TALCAMA again, farewell--
