                        **************************************

     Turn 7 has arrived and we are coming into the final stretch of the SSV contest!  
The list of contenders for the top spot is still very much up for grabs.  Even if you 
feel your squad is out of the running for the top prize, I want to remind everyone 
there is an endurance award for teams that run the entirety of the contest.  Whatever 
your position, I encourage you to finish strong and reap the rewards, whatever they 
may be! 
     Here are the updated scores, including last turn's scores as well as the overall 
standings.  There were a few missed personal ads, but if you have the email receipt 
from HAL (or a note from A-sop or Green Eyes that the ads were inadvertantly missed 
and not put in the NL), I will be able to give you credit for them.

                                  *****************

Scoring for this turn will follow the Turf War format:

I.  Team Points:

     A.  Fights made:  1 = 0 points, 2 = 0 points, 3 = 1 point, 4 = 3 points, 
         5 = 5 points
         
     B.  Wins earned:  1 = 1 point, 2 = 3 points, 3 = 6 points, 4 = 10 points, 
         5 = 15 points

     C.  Champion win = 3 additional points

     D.  Down Challenge = (-5) points each (DM is exempt from DC rule)

     E.  Team with most wins per round earns 4 additional points 
         (If ties, no points awarded)

II.  Alliance Points (Round 7 Only):

     A.  Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made):

          1.  All (each) team of the alliance fights 1 to 3 warriors = 3 points
          2.  All (each) team fights 4+ warriors = 6 points
          3.  All (each) team fights all five warriors = 9

     B.  Alliance with most wins per that round = 5 points
         (If tied, no points awarded.)

                                 ********************

Next turn is a the Morya Madness turn from DM 28.  This contest, organized by Hammer 
if my memory serves me, put an emphasis on a large number of categories, so we have 
only selected a few for our contest here in Stormcrowe.  Some of the scoring for this 
turn is cumlative from previous turns.  Here is the scoring method for next turn:

+3 points to the highest ranked warrior of each style.  Highest ranked is the highest 
    recognition total, regardless of record.  If case of a tie in recognition points, 
    win/loss percentage will be the tie breaker, followed by total kills (warrior).

+5 Top Team on the Move descending scoring down to #5 (e.g. +5 for first, +4 for 
    second, etc).

+5 Most Successful Bloodfeuds (Contest Turns 1-8; cumulative for squad).  Bloodfeud 
    victories for kills that did not occur during the contest do not count to this 
    total.

+5 Most Avoided Squad (Contest Turns 1-8; teammates avoiding one another will not be 
    counted)

-5 Most Avoiding Squad (Contest Turns 1-8)

+5 Most Turn's Most Favorite (Squad) (Contest Turns 1-8)

+5 Most Turn's Least Favorite (Squad) (Contest Turns 1-8)

     Good luck to all!  Happy Dueling!

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
STORMCROWE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  With any luck, I can sneak into 
The Shadow's Fountain and join BATTLE SHIPS' celebration over their good record this 
turn.  8th place, not bad.  If The Shadow's Fountain is buying drinks for HOWLIN 
SLAUGHTER's good turn, I'm afraid the place will be dry before long.  A 4-1-0 makes 
for a big thirst.  Why not, I'm having a good day, so I feel sorry for BASH BROS 
CARS, who went 1-4-0 and dropped 13 into 15th.  Here's my pity, for what it's worth.  
Look out below!  WRATHMEN 1.1 is on the way down, falling to 17th from 6th with a 
1-4-0!  Ha ha ha ha!  With any luck, I can sneak into The Shadow's Fountain and join 
DEAD POETS' celebration over their good record this turn.  18th place, not bad.  If 
The Shadow's Fountain is buying drinks for GOING BERSERK's good turn, I'm afraid the 
place will be dry before long.  A 4-1-0 makes for a big thirst.  Oh, this is too good 
to be true!  PONY BRIGADE has fallen to 23rd place after going 2-3-1 this turn.  
Who's bragging now?  Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, 
PHANTOM REGIMENT, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud.  Of course, 
we're all terribly impressed to see RAINBOW DASH win a fight and gain 27 points, 
terribly.  Tsk, tsk, AN ARENA DOCTOR beat SHARPER IMAGE and SHARPER IMAGE lost 15 
points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster BENDER 
challenged this turn.  And if variety is the spice of life, STORMCROWE may be getting 
bland, as UKKO stays top dog in the city.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and 
bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
STORMCROWE, I am losing what little hope I had in you.  MAIDEN JAPAN the most avoided 
team?  What insult will suffice, I cannot say.  And who led the way in this mass act 
of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was INTERNATIONAL.  Ha ha ha ha!  
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, GINSU was this turn's most challenged warrior.  Watch 
that ego swell, sports fans.  I suspect either a 21 will or a 21 ego on this one, but 
EIRE has challenged up by 31 in an attempt against DEAD BATTERY.  And The Shadow's 
Fountain has banned DEAD BATTERY from service until next turn for losing to EIRE and 
giving her 20 points in the process!  Ha!  Now here's guts and stupidity all rolled 
into one, MIKE challenged up 27 to take on SWISS ALP of INTERNATIONAL.  And sure, 
MIKE lost alright, but gained 4 recognition for his pains.  And pains they may indeed 
be!   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Let's see, 8-4-0.  Pretty good record for a living 
warrior.  A sad one though, for a dead one.  Such is the case for RUSTY SABITCH of 
LAW DOGS.  Tsk.  Ya gotta go sometime, and KELLI's time was this time.  Hmmm, not a 
bad fighter, had she lived... (what?  me pity?).  I can't say as I'm proud to find 
out that INTERNATIONAL's SWISS ALP has killed MIKE from BOTTOM OF THE WORLD.  I can 
say I wish BOTTOM OF THE WORLD good luck in their bloodfeud.  Well, INSOLENT FURY, I 
guess PAIN AND PLEASURE stable was just too chicken to bloodfeud you over GERALDINE.  
I guess cowardice is part of managing a team.  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.  Well, I've had enough of this 
drivel, and I'm sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Paste 
this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide
