DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings, fellow Lapurians,
Special thanks go out too Ye'ol Borgs for taking a week off and hope Oremaster
enjoyed his trip. I seriously doubt I would be your duelmaster if either borg had
fought. Dirmael told me if I can hold onto the throne one more time I should get my
invite.
One thing I don't understand is how a concubine can be venomous towards me if
she wasn't my concubine to begin with. Shouldn't she be venomous towards her former
lover and not me? I guess the old adage of "Hell hath no fury like a women scorned"
applies to any male within striking distance.
Now who to challenge next turn. Hmmm, well the odds don't favor either of the
borgs, so my challenges will go out too Red Bull and Weipa.
Hulik
Lapurian Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, LAPUR? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Now keep the taverns open late tonight,
for there are sorrows to drown for WILL DUEL 4 MEAD, whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped
them by 7 into 11th. Ha! BOHICA turned their 3-0-0 turn into a 3rd place rank in
the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Tsk,
tsk, VINDOCOMUS beat LUHAR and LUHAR lost 11 points. You're breakin' my heart.
WEIPA challenged LAPUR's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And if variety is the
spice of life, LAPUR may be getting bland, as HULIK stays top dog in the city. The
Burning Tree, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this
stuff? From LAPUR's trash dumps?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. MID
EARTH, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care
to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like METAL MINCERS avoided them
the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. STARRY
NITE was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on this one,
but BONZO has challenged up by 27 in an attempt against PLATINUM PEENER. And sure,
BONZO lost alright, but gained 1 recognition for his pains. And pains they may
indeed be! I guess I can give a little credit to STR82HEL of PLATES for challenging
up by 22 to NORMAN. STR82HEL won to get 23 points of recognition.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for LAPUR's
morgue. More variety. I could say I saw this coming, but so could anyone else.
Anyway, this turn it came. CAPELLA's 4-8-0 has earned her the Dark Arena. Titanium
shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of
weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must
leave now-- Snide Clemens

PERSONAL ADS
We're back! -- Ora and Oremaster
What a skimpy bunch of personals last turn. You young lads should be ashamed of
yourselves. -- Ora
Introducing our newest borg, Silver Saw...will he debut this round? -- Ora
Hopin, ye all turkeys gettin' lotsa turkey. Aye. -- Oremaster
Galen Eldacar -- Don't let Gavin get you down. If he had your honor and courage,
he'd be IN the arena instead of watching it from afar. -- Got Milk
Horn Rock -- Such a gentleman! Want to walk me home from the arena? Some crazy-mad
warrior has been following me around like a dog. Creepy! -- Cuddle Me Tender
Ghost of Spangle -- What happened? I thought you wanted a rematch after your fourth
fight?? I was waiting. -- Cuddle
A.A. Shock -- It's against common knowledge, including old friends and foes, but I've
know buds like you to use two of those. Never to very good effect, admittedly, but
you could be the blue mum. That once in an epoch exceptional. -- Bonzo
Glauco -- Amused? Good to know my wiggle-tickle style hasn't gone out of style.
There's hints of my frame-work getting reframed...or is it my bed-work getting
rebedded? -- Hootchy Cootcher
Lucy -- I got an "Atta Girl" for that one. -- Crabby Abbie
Thornwild -- Damned upstart! I could've gotten along for months without that. Style
advantage to you, and well used. -- Horn Rock
Celadus -- They tell me that your name does NOT mean pottery. Too bad, I was all set
to do the "bull in a china shop" thing. I'm good at that. -- Red Bull
Capella -- Darn straight I'm not laughing at you! To meet a female so, ah, shapely,
and then find that you're a golem, in fact, little more than an inflatable doll....
It's heartbreaking. -- Mad Dog
Yuri -- Do you get the mead even if you lose? -- Cloudshadow
Nilith -- My teammates told me the insurance would be a waste of my money, and they
were right. When I get out of here, I'm going after that insurance agent! -- Firebow
Platinum Peener -- Even acid shouldn't affect YOU. Platinum is immune, by what we
hear. -- Jorja
Dax -- I do? Arnold who? What? -- Cloudshadow
All -- there seems to be a lot of changes so I'll add on more. My team Faux Tides II
is receiving a short vacation to boost morale. I'll have a 'replacement' shortly
however. See you on the sands. -- Gavin Rule
P.S. Plates -- Now maybe we'll be on par!
Jorja -- Thank you for your kindness with the photo copies. There is a diplo on the
way!
Hulik -- Congrats! Boy is Ora going to be peeved. I hope that couch is comfortable.
-- Gavin
Bonzo -- Keep practicing, I hope the skills help. -- Hulik
A.A. Shock -- That was almost a shocking result. Thanks for the skills and two
ratings! I hope they help me in the Adepts class of the tourney. -- Fhrain
Rook -- Why so many wild attacks? -- Nilith
Krooga -- Those rocks wouldn't have done you any good. -- Luhar
Irritated Housewife -- Why are you taking your irritation out on me? -- Gilan the
Bachelor
Solar Eruption -- Congrats on your invite. -- All of the Mid Earth Guild
Ragnar -- That was an unfair match up for you, enjoy the skills. -- Fhrain
Firebow -- I am getting the hang of this gladiator thing. -- Nilith
Force of Nature -- My condolences on the death of Sol Ereclips. It was not my
intention to kill him. I await your bloodfeud. -- Luhar
Vindocomus -- That could have gone either way. Till next time. -- Gilan
All -- I apologize to everyone and all my guild for my extremely poor showing in the
tourney. -- Fhrain
Readers -- My apologies, but I won't have an episode done in time for this
newsletter. -- the Scribe

*TURF WAR VI RULES*
Starting Nov 2008 (10 turns)
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 alliance and the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork
(DM 47) newsletter.
2. Announcements made on the D2 Forums will not be accepted.
Captains are responsible for:
1. Verifying those who wish to participate under the banner of their
alliance;
2. Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War.
3. Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate
Participating managers who are not Captains must:
1. Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate
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 a Gift Certificate is received.
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
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 from the Turf War (so be sure to take any
multiple teams OFF of Team Maintenance).
d. Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams that do not properly
declare 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 scoring
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.
Scoring will be as follows for Fights:
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
Dark Arena* +10 -5 xx xx
*After 2nd win, warrior scores no points for wins
Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows:
Spy Report mention (team name only) +2
Style Master +2
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 be in the Adepts bracket or lower on the turn they are
declared, and may NOT have gone above Adepts level at any time; this
includes teams transferred into North Fork for the Turf War.
Bloodfeuds:
1. Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns.
