TEAM SPOTLIGHT
THE ADM REGIONAL TOURNAMENT
The next ADM Regional Tournament will be held in the months of October/November 2011
and will be contested in the regular arenas during the late Summer months.
Q: What is the ADM Regional Tournament?
A: The ADM Regional Tournament is a competition where the best and brightest warriors
from the ADM regionals compete for bragging rights and to see which region is the
best!
Q: How does it work?
A: During the month of October, the warriors of each Regional Team will be temporarily
moved to a special regional arena, where they will battle it out in a single
elimination tournament. The last warrior standing wins for his region. (Learns,
skills, and FE gained during the contest will not be permanent.)
Results will be posted online during the months of October/November.
Q: How are teams determined?
A: There are 10 warrior slots given out to each team. The 10 Stylemasters of each
regional arena during Saturday, October 15th will automatically qualify and be
selected.
To qualify for a Stylemaster position, you must have been active in the arena in 4
of the prior 6 turns including the last one (2 of the last 3 for Crysalis). (Thus,
you'll want to activate your warriors before the week of July 23rd, to be safe.)
Should a team not be able to qualify all 10 warriors, they may select wildcard
entrants to fill those empty slots. However, they must have at least 7 different
styles represented AND no more than 2 of any style. Should they not be able to
meet this criteria, their team will be filled with NPCs.
Each manager may only play for 1 region and may qualify no more than 3 warriors on
a regional team. They may play a 3rd warrior only if everyone else who wants to
participate already has 2 and/or there is no other option. A manager may not have
more than 1 warrior of the same style on the regional team.
Q: What's a Regional Coordinator?
A: The Regional Coordinator is the unofficial "team captain": They are in charge of
putting together their team based on the rules, trying to make sure everyone is
included and that any disputes are handled. (For instance, if someone qualifies
more than 2 warriors, the regional coordinator will work with that manager and
determine which warriors will participate on the team, and then notify
replacements, etc.)
The Regional Coordinators are: Manager (Andorak), Buri(Darkholm), The Dark One
(Free Blades), Crip (Crysalis), Master Darque (Unnamed No Tourney Arena), One Arm
Bandit (Home Guard). If you need to contact them, you can write a personal ad in
the ADM arena, or send a diplo to them at:
Manager: Superior Forces in DM 105
The Dark One: Angels of Pain in DM 103
Buri: Tackle Box in DM 104
One Arm Bandit: Sea Dogs in DM 101
Crip: Royal Flush in DM 106
Master Darque: Darque Ages in DM 81
Q: What does happen if someone qualifies more than 2 warriors?
A: That manager will be able to decide which 2 to send (or, if there are no other
options, the manager may send 3--see above) and the next highest qualifying warrior
will be able to take place of the warrior that doesn't get sent if it's an
automatic spot. It's definitely a good idea to communicate with your team
coordinator and fellow teammates. Remember, even though you are fighting for
qualification spots, you all still want to put together a competitive team! (All
of the captains treat this as an inclusive event so it's unlikely anyone will
completely get left out in the cold.)
Q: What if my warriors are not in ADM regional? Or, what if they are in the wrong
ADM regional?
A: If your warriors are in 100, or are in the wrong region, and they haven't fought
since the split, you can request to CSR to have them moved into the proper
regional arena.
Q: Is there a prize?
A: Bragging rights!

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It feels gooooooood to be Duelmaster. If only I could stop drippin' at both
ends. Then life would be lovely. I admit that this throne is really Hearing Aid's,
but I ain't giving it back. Poo on him! (And I could do that to him a LOT, too!)
He shouldn't have chosen to abdicate to try for that 30th FE-17+ PP-14 win-20 arena
fight-preFace. He shouldn't have.
Now I have it and tsk, tsk, tsk to Hearing Aid. Go win a TV or something,
Hearing Aid. Just see where that gets you!
I will leave you with these tidbits:
I started with three of the same number in my stats
I have 13 bumps (No, I am not pregnant)
I am ambi
I am bonused in damage-doing (But quite limited in swing effort!)
There you have it I SHALL return.
Got The Runs, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Advancing in
the rankings was CAPTAIN PLANET who went from last turn's 84-71-2, to this week's
record of 87-72-2. Hey everybody, watch out for CORMEK DEANE, who flew up 20 points
in the rankings after mashing EARTH like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya
know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. LINAEA DEANE was beat by
THAT ONE MONKEY and drops 19 points. It's a proud day for the SERPENTS HOLD stable,
as their warrior, RHOMBA, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. 4 out of 5 gladiators
surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad CAPTAIN PLANET? Big bad CAPTAIN PLANET. Big bad CAPTAIN PLANET. ZENSU's
afraid of the big bad CAPTAIN PLANET. Tra la la la la! For those of you who like
math, try this one: CAPTAIN PLANET + Weapons That go Boom = OLDER BY FAR + Avoid
City. And who is this RHOMBA you ask, with 166 points and a 18-2-2 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?). Congrats to THAT ONE MONKEY for revenging
the death of its teammate (but more importantly, feeding LINAEA DEANE a bit of dirt).
Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in ZENSU have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Okay, so I may not be the
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors. See ya
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Linaea Deane -- You wanted to hear "yes"? You need to learn to curb your appetite.
(wink) -- I Say No
Jorja -- Ouch, that hurts! But it is a nice kind of hurt. "Methusaleh -- It was the
problems of advancing age, which I am sure you understand.-- Jorja" -- Methuselah
(still keeps on kickin')
I am going for "immortal Champion" at The Mke Face. Can I do it? I need to graduate
on this, my 20th arena fight. Pray for me. (Or just send batteries.) -- Hearing Aid
Earth -- I may be hungry after all that, but there is no used eating for me, is
there? -- Duelmaster Got The Runs
Cormek -- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no............. -- I Say No
Hoping to see some of you at The Face. Save me the softest chair, the shortest
distance to the front desk, a room on the bottom floor front, and a walker. --
Methuselah
I Say No -- To what, that's what I'd like to know. I say no to SOME things myself.
-- Cormek Deane
That One Monkey -- It's a wonder to me that some poacher hasn't snuck up and trapped
you for the circus. -- Coolin Dunn
What do you think THIS is? -- Arenamaster Diego
I suppose it makes sense that the Fratsfa Slave HERE isn't Fratsfan. -- Loris Deane
Exactly. People will tell you that the Fratsfans don't keep slaves, and that's
true. We don't KEEP them... for long. -- Diego
The 6th Element -- That was unintentional, I think. Might've been jealousy, though.
-- Linaea Deane
If an orc allows himself to be captured alive and relatively uninjured, he deserves
whatever happens to him. I think. -- Marlin Kole

Announcing!
The No-Tourney ADM arena will be opening for business on the

entertained through the months of August and September.
