Sit back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Hey everybody, watch out for A. MONK, P.I., who flew up 12 points in the rankings after mashing DO HICKEY like a melon. Keep your eye on this beast. And falling like a basher in the top ten was DO HICKEY, who dropped 5 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with A. MONK, P.I.. In front of all the crowds, TIRALEA FLETE took the Duelmaster's crown for hers own. I give the bum two weeks. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid KRILL CAVALRY, please raise you hand. Wow. Does ZORPUNT really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch MONEY PIT's act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from KRILL CAVALRY. And who is this DO HICKEY you ask, with 45 points and a 10-7-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ZORPUNT have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TIRALEA FLETE 4697 12 9 0 112 KRILL CAVALRY (403) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MIKELA POOLE 4695 14 8 0 98 KRILL CAVALRY (403) ULTIMATE SIN 4659 21 10 0 93 MONEY PIT (475) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME IRMEAN 4710 11 7 2 66 MONEY PIT (475) -POOP SLINGER 4478 5 3 0 66 LOOK OUT!!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN Revenge? PERSONAL ADS Ultimate Sin -- (with a sigh of repletion) That was just...marvelous. Better than good. -- Mikela Poole P.S. And as an upside to the whole thing, I don't have to do a duel2dudette's piece this time. M. Chardinee? Oh, please, this is a fight? You couldn't prove it by our showing. We made faces at each other, exchanged a couple of rude words (at least, they were supposed to be rude, but I have no idea what the Chardinee's means), and that was it. Pooh. -- Tiralea Flete Oozing Sore -- You know, if that thing gets any worse, you'll look like an avatar of the God of Putrescence. I'm not sure this is a good thing. -- Teri Lark What I don't understand is what crime the Convicted Thief committed that was bad enough to warrant him being consigned to the arena for decades. That has to have been some kind of truly major theft. -- Loren Poole Repeat offender? -- Ed. Huh, the Pooles are old softies all the way. The Persistent Beggars all DESERVE to be beaten up for eternity. Why don't they get JOBS? -- Travis T Flete 14 September 2006 I am back in the arena and thinking back to those days in 1984 where I was a novice and clueless manager. Now, 22 years later it looks like I am an ancient and once again clueless manager. I am looking to recover some old warriors. Since none of them are Aimed Blows, they are no threat to win anything. I just want to see how they turned out. The Couatl 2-17 Madam Butterfly 20-701 Gypsy Moth 20-703 King Crab 21-1 Priestess Python 26-1388 Please contact me at DekeYoung@Comcast.net if you know about any of these ancient warriors, or just want to bs about the old, old, old times. 25 September 2006 It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light. Allow me to step forward and blind them with truth. YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!! The Dark Knights are so afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats. It is too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us! I guess our natural light is too bright for you all to face! Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix, Overlord of the Avengers of Light! 5 October 2006 *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! LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS A.
