He was alone and easy enough to dispose of. Blackjack and Gambit from Memphis Mafia II held the zombie down while Devastator of The Fallen brought his halberd down, decapitating the undead creature. As far as they could tell, the creature had no master. He was simply some kind "residual side-effect" of the blood-magic at work in Alastari. The days after that brought more zombies. Two or three a day at first and then the numbers grew to be a dozen or so. The task at hand was grim but thankfully most of the warriors in the arena considered zombie-hunting to be just another form of training. Just outside the Jhans city walls: They hadn't made it fifty yards and already Huggy Bear was starting to complain. "Bookie, why we gotta be walkin', man? Don't you know that if you wanna look pimp you gotta ride? Let's go get some horses." Bookie sighed and tried to be patient with his somewhat eccentric basher. "Huggy, have you ever seen a horse see a zombie?" "Uh, can't say I have." "They freak. A horse would throw you on your head to get the hell away." "My head?" "Your head." "Damn, ninja!! Ain't nobody said nothing 'bout getting dropped on my head!! Froth that!" The entire search party broke out into laughter. It was good to laugh. You never knew when something scary was about to leap out at you from nowhere. There had been stories of things besides zombies but so far they'd been lucky enough to not see anything along those lines. The search party consisted of Bookie, Huggy Bear from Suicidal Dreams, Mordraith, Thrasher (5440 or Fight!'s recent graduate), Badda Bang from The Fallen, Reaper from Kamikazi, Chief Bling-Bling$$ from The Dreaming, and Bookie's assistant Raven who had insisted on coming along. Bookie really didn't want her along. He shuddered at the thought of what her father would do if anything happened to her (if he were still alive). {editor note: see Jhans #1} The party made their way along the tree-line near the city. So far they had yet to encounter anything but a few squirrels and a very frightened white rabbit. That was about to change. "Bookie!! I've got one!!!" Badda Bang screamed. Her eyes glazed with maddened anticipation. Bang had become very fond of zombie killing. It was a good stress- relief after fighting 4 scum total parries in a row. The entire party encircled and move up on the undead creature lumbering towards them. Even Raven with only her wood staff tried to move in for a strike but Bookie grabbed her by the arm and jerked her back unceremoniously. He hated having her out here but it was better then leaving her to her own devices. The last time he did that Raven and Shadow Starr nearly blew up his magic lab. No. It was far better to have her by his side then home alone. "Bookie!! Two more at ten o'clock, old man!" Mordraith blurred by with his epee slashing repeatedly just waiting for some poor fool to step in front of it. "I'M ONLY THIRTY, 'DRAITH!!" Bookie yelled. "THAT'S WHAT I MEANT!!!" Mordraith screamed back. Bookie chuckled. "Damn it's good to have 'Draith back." Bookie thought to himself. It had been so long that Bookie had nearly forgotten how graceful Mordraith was with a sword. Mordraith didn't fight. It was more like he was dancing around his opponent picking his shots and making his opponent look like a fool trying to catch him. Bookie thought it was almost beautiful. Chief Bling-Bling$$ brought his scimitar flat against the first zombie's throat, sending its head flying back into the woods from which the creature came. Bling- Bling$$ was so amazed by it that he laughed aloud. "Another by the oak!!!" Reaper hollered out for the rest to hear. "I thought you said you only saw four or five zombies every patrol?" Raven asked as she reached around Bookie and took a novice swing with her staff that wouldn't have damaged one of the passing-by butterflies. "Usually we don't!" Bookie answered just as he released a necromancy bolt that cut-down the zombie the Reaper was advancing on. Reaper turned and glared at Bookie. Reaper screamed a thought so loud Bookie heard it in is own mind. "THAT WAS MINE!" All Bookie did was shrug and Reaper turned and charged at another zombie with his scimitar held high overhead. Bookie screamed. "EVERYONE REGROUP!!!" They regrouped back to back with their weapons held at guard. "How many?" Bookie asked. "Three down, five more up." Thrasher said. "...with four more comin'" Huggy Bear added. "WHAT THE FROTH?!" Bookie yelled. "Where are they all comin' from?" "Aw, c'mon, Bookie. It's like old days. Us against the world. Remember?" Mordaith said as he pulled his second epee free with a devious look on his face. "Take 'em out as quick as possible. Be damned if I don't come out here with more people next time. It's getting worse...." "Second one to the left is mine." Thrasher said coldly. "Sure." Bookie said as he necro-bolted another zombie, knocking it to the ground from which it immediately began to rise. "Why him?" "I just killed him once. I wanna do it again." Thrasher replied. Bookie looked at the zombie at question and paid attention to him this time. Slowly a smile came to Bookie's face. Halo-14!!! Bookie laughed. "He's all yours. Everybody, wait for it...wait for it...GO!!!" They broke formation with Bookie staying in the middle trying to "direct traffic". The first blow was by Huggy Bear. He drove his war hammer spike into a zombie and it became stuck. The force of the blow carried Huggy around and the zombie came along for the ride. He spun him around a full revolution until the zombie flung off and crashed into the four zombies coming out of the woods a full twenty yards away. The blow was very impressive even to the veterans in the group. Raven laughed gleefully and clapped. "THIS IS SO MUCH FUN!!!" she exclaimed. Bookie rolled his eyes. Rodeki: About a week earlier P-Diddi and Brew-ha had been getting a drink at the Loucas Lounge in Jhans trying to unwind when the barmaid brought them a note. (editor note: See Jhans #2) The note had been sent by Kerry Bear on behalf of her manager and husband Polarius. It seemed that Polarius had gotten involved with some shady dealings with a Rodeki crime lord. And as dealings with crime lords go, this one also has ended on bad terms. They didn't know exactly what had happened but whatever it was it had been serious as Polarius was willing to pay very nicely to have Mazlak (the crime lord in question) killed. That was how P-Diddi and Brew-ha ended up in an alley in Rodeki at three in the morning spying on Mazlak's nearby estate. "We got any wine left?" P-Diddi asked. Brew-ha picked up the wine flask and examined it, even turning it completely upside down and not a drop fell out. "Nope." "Damn." P-Diddi said as he gazed through his spy-glass . "Looks like dogs in the back courtyard." "Uh-huh." Brew-ha said, half paying attention as he casually lay against the alley wall and ate grapes. "Two guards at the main-gate." "Uh-huh." "And four that I can see in the front courtyard." "Uh-huh." P started to suspect that Brew wasn't paying any attention to him and decided to test him. "Heard you like dwarf women." "Uh-huh." "Like to grab their beards and hold on for life, right?" "Uh--hey wait!! NO I DON'T!!!" Brew threw the empty wine flask at P as P began grabbing an imaginary beard in the air and started thrusting his hips repeatedly and laughing. Brew leapt to his feet and the two were almost at blows when a man stepped out of the shadows and called to them. "Nobody move, chaps. Just hand over your money and won't nobody get hurt...." P-Diddi and Brew-ha stood there motionless. Not out of fear but out of shock. The two began ignoring the thief and carrying a conversation on between themselves. "Can you believe this?" P said as he flung his hands up in disbelief. "WE are getting robbed! Thieves today have no respect." "No respect!" Brew interjected. To the thief's disbelief, P began pacing and talking. "You can go anywhere... ANYWHERE and people will respect a fellow thief but NOT IN RODEKI!!! OH NO!! First night you stand around in an alley in Rodeki every two-bit hood in town wants to rob you. Bet he's never even heard of The Thieves Guild." "Never heard of it...tsk tsk." P turned and asked the thief directly. "You ever heard of the thieves guild?" The thief was now the one in a state of shock. He hadn't expected this. "Guess not." P said. "Let me show you my membership card." With that, P reached into his cloak and hurled a throwing knife at the thief which the thief dodged by twisting his body in an almost inhuman manner. "Damn!!" Brew said. P grinned. "Almost worked." P than pulled his daggers from his cloak and did a number of ceremonious poses with them before standing at guard. Brew stood unimpressed and scoffed. "Show-off." P chuckled and motioned for the thief to come on. Now the thief was enraged. The thief didn't know who this guy thought he was but he wasn't going to be made a fool of. The thief charged with his longsword swinging with a fierce viciousness. P sidestepped as the thief's blade swept just inches from his body. P backpedaled, feeling in complete control of the situation. This guy was good but he was nothing special. The thief charged again. This time he didn't over extend himself and instead sent a barrage of lunges at P who parried the first three and dropped to his knees to avoid the fourth. P brought up a well-placed kick to the thief's abdomen which knocked the wind out of him and sent him up against the alleyway wall. P regained his feet and waited while Brew stood back and laughed. P was playing with the thief and the thief didn't even know it. P motioned for the thief to advance again. This time the thief gave him more then he expected. The thief brought a powder from his cloak pocket and flung it towards P's face. P managed to avoid most of it but he still got enough in his eyes to make them water. This is when the thief seemingly flew from the wall wielding his longsword like the wrath of god. P did the only thing he could. He fell to his back and tried to let the blow pass over him. It almost worked. The thief's sword ran up P's chest just barely skimming over it leaving a small blood-scratch all the way down to his stomach. P survived. His cloak wasn't so fortunate. The thief's momentum carried him over P and crashing into the ground where he skidded several feet managing to break a couple of ribs along the way. P leapt up to his feet and rubbed his eyes. He was still disoriented but he was alive. That was the biggest thing. Then P noticed his cloak had been neatly sliced open down the front. His eyes became huge with anger. He screamed. "SHIRT-RIPPA!!" The thief was on his feet as well and prepared for whatever was about to come. He held his longsword out in front of him with a crazed look in his eyes. He never saw it coming. The thief fell to the ground unconscious and out from behind him walked a familiar if not annoying face: Drips from the STD's guild. "Thought you needed the hand, boys." Drips said smirking from ear to ear. His words were dripping with sarcasm. P was almost broken-hearted. "Why? Why did you do that?! It was just getting fun...." Brew laughed and Drips did the same. P kept looking back and forth between the unconscious thief and Drips in disbelief. "Froth!" P cursed. "Hey! What in the hell are you doing here, anyway?" Brew stopped laughing and suddenly wondered that as well. "Yea, what are you doing here?" Drips rolled his eyes and tried to act innocent until he finally burst out into mad laughter. "I've been following you since the I saw you at the Lounge." P stepped forward with his dagger pulled back ready to strike. "You spying on us?!" "No, no. Just nothing better to do." Drips chuckled. He then continued. "So, we gonna kill this Mazlak guy?" P shook his head. "No. We work alone." "Oh well, thought I'd ask." Drips said as he started to turn and walk away. "OH NO!!" P said as he grabbed Drips by the arm. "You know too much. You're not leaving our sights. Brew, you keep your eye on him. Let's get out of here and back to the inn. There we can figure out what we're gonna do with him." Drips had no objections and began walking with Brew-ha. Drips said. "I know a short-cut to your room. It takes us right by the Flagg's Five Guild. Thought we could 'mark the ole territory' if you know what I mean." Brew-ha laughed as they walked while P followed. Then P stopped and went back to the thief's unconscious form and rummaged through his pockets until he found what he was looking for, the thief's coin purse. P tossed the bag up and caught it saying with a smile on his face, "Gods, I LOVE my work." He then kicked the thief one more time, picking him up off the ground. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * Good Morning Viet-JHANS! Ok, well...so much for the ROBIN WILLIAMS impression. It is I POLARIUS, (where is that music coming from? I keep hearing it....) anyway, it is I POLARIUS back with another edition of my KILL CONTEST SPY REPORT! First...let's morph back to turn 456: TANTRIC was viciously slain by TROJAN MAN. I guess not only is the TROJAN a good idea to avoid STD's but also to protect yourself from those BLITZKRIEG (lightening fast accidents)! HALO 14 was taken out by M. Thrasher...No big surprise here. Draith has always been known as the Natural Born Killa! RAVAGE was slain by Slayin Stayner...and we all remember the OH SO SWEET eulogy. and TARGET was dealt DEATH by MOON HUNTRESS. My sources in at the JHANS PD tell me that they suspect WAL-MART may also have something to do with it. In other news K-MART has offered its condolences to TARGET as well. NOW...back to the present...turn 457. EXQUISITE CORPS II had a pretty rough turn...they lost ABIGAIL (Who caught a case of the STD'S. Yeah, GENITAL WARTS is pretty nasty. Just ask DONNA.) and LULLABI. LULLABI was killed by A HORSE...no it wasn't a riding accident...or WAS IT? A HORSE/PORN IN A BARN....hmmmmm. In any case EXQUISITE CORPS got really FROTH'ed up this turn. Speaking of getting FROTH'ed up, SKRAGG got some disturbing news this turn. GOAT CHEESE (how the heck is that PORN IN A BARN? SICK.) was killed by JU JITSU (or whatever he is calling himself these days. The ISRAELIS are our friends. And last but not least....TOAD now knows who his DADDY is....it is BOOKIE! Under orders from BOOKIE BLACKJACK easily slew DADDY. BOOKIE was heard murmuring something about when you keep 'em relying on you for their paycheck they will do anything you ask. HEY...that KINDA SOUNDS LIKE SOCIALISM....hmm...and LIBERALISM.... ANYWAY...it has been fun but I have to go for now. I gotta figure out where that music is coming from...kinda has a catchy theme though...yeah...(humming) sexy mother FROTHER!

I've taken the throne through diligence and honor. I'd like to thank M. Thrasher for an honorable fight; well done, my friend. It was close as we are both quality warriors. I'd also like to thank my arrogant manager, Shocking Toad. Yes, he's got a big mouth and he's a pain in the butt; however, he does well by me. I'd finally like to thank Kayla for taking such great care of me these 6 1/2 years. She's loving, caring, companionate, and understanding; everything her father is not. My love to you, Kayla. Now that I've spoken, the arrogant daddy wants to say a few words: Thank you, Pink Bear; you are a great fighter and a wonderful friend to Kayla. Now that I have the pen I want to say some things: Polarius is well spoken and knows of what he speaks. Folks that get, but do not earn, take for granted and have no desire or need to pursue on their own. Our civilization was set up for the citizenry to achieve on their own. For those poor few that cannot do on their own get a helping hand via charity, family and community. It is immoral for a Government to take from one person and give to another. To give by choice is altruism, to give through force is oppression. I want to live in an altruistic society, not the oppressive one we find ourselves in. Now that I've had my say I'll be silent until the next column! Pink Bear and Shocking Toad SPY REPORT Much has changed in JHANS since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Woof! KAMIKAZI were a bunch of dogs after SUICIDAL DREAMS got through with 'em! 2nd ain't so sweet as 1st! Who can explain it? Not you, not me, not REVELATION's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks from 22nd to 8th. LITTLE GIRLS LIKE... showed JHANS what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 3-1-1. What's with KERRY BEAR? She actually beat WOLF PACK's GHETTO KING, and walked away with 26 more points from the fight. Major screwup at ANARKYSTS. KILL'EM KREPP lost 18 points to GROPING CHICKENS. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe KILL'EM KREPP will provide more easy wins... WOLF PACK's hatred of LITTLE GIRLS LIKE... surfaced again as CANIS LUPUS challenged JHANS' top dog. CANIS LUPUS was reminded on the sands why PINK BEAR is Duelmaster. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting! Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, BLIND HYPOCRISY! In my day, no team with a 53-41-7 would scare me off! What's the problem, KAMIKAZI? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, JEALOUSY RAINS! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Taunt your opponent MARCIE! That was my lucky charm when I was unfairly challenged. (and by 19 points!) UNION JACK should have an easy win. UNION JACK defeated MARCIE. I bet UNION JACK could beat two-year-olds, too. Well, BABES knows who to set their sights on. PROWLER of WOLF PACK knows how to pick 'em. She challenged ANOTHER BLANKEE of LITTLE GIRLS LIKE... who is up by 24. Now was this a wise move? PROWLER perhaps got hers just desserts, seeing as she was overcame by ANOTHER BLANKEE and ended up with 3 recognition points. There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? Hmm... More surprises must remain in store for me, if THE DARK can return from the Dark Arena. AXION looked pretty sick and surprised when he learned ERRATA is sending him to the Dark Arena! Whadd'he expect with a 2-10-0? Who will dare fight POCOHONTAS, after she returned from the Dark Arena? (For the record 2-4-1 is 33, and has she points) So WOLF PACK sent MOON HUNTRESS to the Dark Arena. Big deal. Plenty more fighters where MOON HUNTRESS came from. Dime a dozen... Now, Spyreporters... GHETTO KING of WOLF PACK didn't know when to quit. When you've got a 12-16-1, that's a good sign. Now he's dead. How long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go... Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt. All work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf. Olaffighterwork and no play. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PINK BEAR 5883 20 10 1 119 LITTLE GIRLS LIKE...

I almost feel bad for slamming on the spy reports. #2 Azrael, who are you and why should I care about you? #3 Sylvester Frothingslosh, I actually respect you. I've seen you around and have known you for some time. I'll mix it up here with you if you'd like; however, it's not my goal to take a leak in your cheerios. Heck, I like the Frothingslosh clan, they are quite friendly to me at the tournaments. Hats off to Eric! #4 Bookie, I am torn, do I stay quiet as that seems to tick you off or do I speak, giving you ammunition. I heard it's better to keep your mouth shut and let people wonder if you are an idiot rather than open it and dispel all doubt.

Drop by the guild house and we'll discuss it over wine and frog legs. -- Sylvester Frog legs? Why frog legs? Or do I not want to know. -- Ed. Mordraith -- It's good to be back in Jhans. Thanks for the welcome. -- Sylvester Oblivious -- Umm, yeah I guess you can say I scalped you. -- The Dark Jekyll -- Dysfunctional is putting mildly.... -- Sylvester Azrael -- Tantric dying kinda hurt, but that is how the game goes. You get on streaks and then stuff happens. His replacement, Funky, is pretty good. And my new replacements are pretty good. So maybe I can get them back in the groove. -- Polarius Cosmo -- I hope the hotel security at the face isn't too tough. But, if they do kick you out, I'll run your stuff for you! *grin* -- Polarius Jekyll -- By the time you read this you will know whether or not you have also killed Funky. I certainly hope not. Bloodfeuding you with her is very risky but a loss (not a death) is worth the skills. -- Polarius Bookie -- Do you hear that music...? Hmmm...I hear it too. In fact I hear it every time I walk into a room! -- Polarius Jhans -- What is it with the Chaos manager names? Ok...Flagg rhymes with...ok...you get it. Assamite...assistite...whatever his name is. Then we've got the Stroker...I mean come on! Do you guys cross dress on the side? -- Polarius P.S. I bet their favorite movie is the one where Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes are drag queens!!! When they act it out they all argue over which one is Swayze! Bookie -- I'm glad I'm not one of those Americans who think everyone who thinks different than me is a "Commie." I just think they are all poor twisted minds, a product of today's "entitlement" society. -- Polarius Jhans -- You know, it is kinda funny when Bookie can get away with a warrior named Sandpaper Condom and I can't get away with French Tickler. I mean French Hamster is ok...I mean the French probably do some weird things with hamsters and gerbils but I liked my original name better. -- Polarius I hope everyone read Jekyll's post in the forums on the website. I can really appreciate someone who speaks his mind like Jekyll. Everyone should buy him a drink at the Lucas Lounge! -- Polarius Sylvester -- Sorry for the big DC. I didn't realize (or wasn't thinking) that Wolf Pack was yours. You just keep The Dark away from my guys and I can assure you I'll avoid big DC's. -- Polarius Ghetto King -- If you'd get some initiative and start voting Republican you can help yourself and move up from the ghetto. -- Blood Moon To all the warriors in the Champs -- THANKS TO THE GODS that I am no longer with you guys! Filling out my challenges was like picking my poison! -- Kerry Bear Bookie -- You might wanna watch out with the Doc Steele references. He may follow you into the restroom at the face. That could be ugly! -- Polarius The Chads/Rillion -- Aw-HA!!! Finally we meet. So you're the guy who beat up on my home arena while I was gone and got a DA guy named after yourself. I can see that your team is stacked a bit (and TV challenging to throw fights, tsk tsk) but I assure you THIS time things are gonna be a lot more...challenging for you than before. -- Bookie P.S. Keep tossin fights...it'll get you killed in here. *evil grin* Porn In A Barn -- SCRAGGLES!!!!!! What the froth up? Hehe. Welcome back to Jhans!! Looks like I gave ya the formal welcoming with a kill last turn. (Hey...don't be mad at me...your guy went for the kill FIRST!) I know you don't hardly ever write or read ads anymore but try to talk just a bit. It's more fun with vocals. *evil grin* G'luck in the upcoming contest!! -- Bookie Sylvester/Ultra-bomb -- You mind nudging Scraggles for me and tell him I wrote him. I know he won't even read it unless you do. *grin* Thanks, Jim. -- Bookie Toad -- HA HA FROTH'N HA.... Finally get a l'il revenge for the kills you've had on me in Osksi. But what gets me is the fact that it took EIGHT hits after the death intent statement to make you go down. I think Blackjack liquefied Daddy's head for him. *shudder* Man, that crap was messy. And you know somebody gotta clean it up. (I noticed Silver Stroke in an orange jumpsuit pushing a mop earlier...hmmmm.) Anyway...here's what I got for ya Toad: If you got a single hair on the ole Toad sack you'll bloodfeud me with Pink Bear. C'mon, give my three fight guy a shot at the throne. See ya when I see ya.... -- Bookie Sylvester -- You're lucky that you and Tony didn't have a long deep conversation with Black Peter when you went on that beer run in Baltimore wasn't it...? And you know Black Peter...he just won't shut up. He's always gettin' sick. Throwin' up. I'm glad you avoided him while you were in...the ghetto.... <Elvis backup singers: the ghettooooooo> WTF? Man, I need to put the pipe down...wwwooooooo. -- Bookie <crotch chop for Toad> Manray/Marquis -- Hey man. Just read on the forum or the roundtable (can't remember which) about you droppin out of the game partially. (Though I do appreciate you said you were gonna stick around for this. *grin*) We all go through the phases of enjoying the game and sometimes people cut back but I hope you don't walk away from the game completely. Maybe Jhans will become the one arena that even if you're sick of DM you'll still wanna play. Hope you stick around. -- Bookie/Mike P.S. <this is back in character> Nice 1-7 there buddy.... Chicken Tender from Porn in A Barn -- OMFG that's the funniest crap I've heard in a while.... *snicker* At least Alf's (now I'm visualizing that little 80's show... yikes!) warrior names are entertaining. *grin* -- Bookie <Froth me tender...Froth me sweet...ne'er...let me go....> Hehe. Mordraith -- So, we gonna find Neon's room and grind our feet on his bed yelling "froth your couche, Neon!!" at the face? -- Bookie P.S. Man, what kind of idiot would go and rub his feet all over somebody's bed.... Yea I remember grinding my feet on Neon's bed. Cocaine's a helluva drug.... You guys do the oddest things for amusement. -- Ed. Mithril -- Welcome to Jhans (since you should have made it this turn). Good to have you here. -- Bookie kLk -- Mithril is one of the guys I message on my comp. He's cool. Don't treat him like the rest of the flock, ok? *laugh* -- Bookie P.S. Intro yourselves again...we keep getting new people every turn. Iver -- I hate your whole team. Grrrrr. -- Shadow Starr P.S. Your team name is probably one of the reasons RSI took team names out of the address. I could just see the postal service freakin out over a letter with "ANARKYSTS" in the title these days. But then again, I bet Memphis Mafia probably got me put on a FBI list back in the day. Hehe. -- Bookie Hey Ed.? Has Saint got her 'electric pigeon' fixed? Think we could get that manager listing this turn? -- Bookie Way ahead of you. It's at the top of the personals. -- The Saint, keeper of lists Cosmo/UC -- Wow. You talked!!

Disgusting. Wonder if that is where he got the idea for the manager name? -- Polarius Azrael -- When I think of the team name "Flagg's Chaos 5" I think of the Bravo TV show QEFTSG! -- Polarius Bibbidy -- Wait...I thought you were dead....

Holy Slash. -- Azrael, kLk 4 Life Toad -- Guess Bookie's your daddy for real now, huh? -- Azrael Polarius -- Silverstroker isn't talking his talk from outside the gates. He's sending it carrier pigeon. -- Azrael 25 May 2004 TEN TURNS OF HELL: The KLK Capture The Flag Competition In the spirit of the ongoing effort to make arena play what it used to be (FUN!!), I am proud to announce the KLK Capture The Flag Competition. The competition will be held in Jhans (DM-36, which has, by the way, grown in size equal to Talcama already). :) We are announcing this contest early to allow managers time to prep. Rules: -- On turn 462 (due 8/4/04) the lowest ranked warrior on your team is given your team's 'flag' (he is your initial flag defender). -- Starting on turn 463 (due 8/18/04) flags will be defended every turn and turn 463 is the turn scoring will begin. -- Fights involving flags are winners-take-all and a warrior can carry as many flags as he can win. -- If a warrior holding a flag either A) goes inactive, B) loses to a stand-by warrior or C) gets DA'd, he forfeits all flags he has and they are returned the their original team's lowest ranked warrior. -- If you hold your own flag on an inactive warrior you receive NO POINTS that turn. -- If a warrior graduates to AD holding flags starting on the next turn those flags will be defended by the lowest ranked warrior on the team of the graduating warrior. -- Scoring as follows for each turn: 2 pts -- possession of your own team flag 1 pt -- possession any other flag 1 pt -- for each win 1 pt -- for each kill 1 pt -- for each award you receive in the newsletter -- You may enter as many teams as you like (per RSI rules) but each team is its own entry. -- Tie-Breaker goes to the team that had the most points from flags. -- If still tied the tie-breaker will be the team that had the most points from kills. (It's the Delarq way.) -- The contest lasts 10 turns and there will be prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd (based on highest point totals) Prizes: (what you've been waiting on) 1st -- 3 know favorites potions* DA warrior named after winning manager 2nd -- 2 know favorites potions* 3rd -- 1 know favorites potion* * These are full favorite potions (weapon, rhythms and tactics) and can only be used on warriors with at least 4 FE. How's that for paying out? (grin) Even if you think that it's all about the TC, these prizes should be enough to draw you in. (You know who you are.) I hope to see friend and foe alike come to Jhans. Legion, Froths, and all the others...this is your personal invite. Can you win? Can you survive 10 turns of Hell in Jhans? Note: Special thanks to RSI for helping make this contest possible. Thanks guys!
