DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
And once again I "fight" Dig Dug. He seems to have one of those "attention
deficit disorders," you know? In the first minute, he parries nine times in a row
(good work, that), gets hit once, and says he's bored. I believe this constitutes a
problem... part of it being mine. He shouldn't have parried me that well. I'll have
to try harder to... keep him entertained, although I suppose Dingo Dog is the most
like opponent this time.
Faron
SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
MURSKA. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Hey
everybody, watch out for BILDIS, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing
EMBEZZLING SCRIBE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. And falling like a
basher in the top ten was DIG DUG, who dropped 4 points after a disappointing (to say
the least) bout with KAI. It's a proud day for the BUSY, BUSYTOWN stable, as their
warrior, DINGO DOG, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. An apple a day keeps the
doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Here is other news that is of note.
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.
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks. Its been
fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you worked up for Snide
Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Q*bert -- Bah, and also humbug, and hey, can *I* be bored, too? Not with you as an
opponent specifically, but I'd like to carve my initials into some new faces. --
Cadal Coontz
Dingo Dog -- Ha! All you did was position yourself to face Faron next time. Which
suits me FINE. I could do without seeing you again for a long, long time. -- Kai
Pitfall Harry -- Obviously, I was not paying sufficient attention to your name. What
I need to bring to our next match is a pit, and you will fall into it. Sounds like a
good plan to me, eh? -- Balin
Dr. Strange -- And odd, also. In fact, we might even call you... Doctor Very
Peculiar? -- Bildis, wincing a lot
Dingo Dog -- We note that you're graduating and send you our honest congratulations.

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!

*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:

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!
