TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Welcome to Turn 8, Slaughterhouse Participants! Turn 7 was interesting with more
than a few surprises. Conscrips won the turn with a 52 point jump and a move into 2nd
place. Shewish Drive Thru continues to sit at the top, but their lead is not as
comfortable as it has been in the past. This turn focuses on the Morya Madness
contest. Morya Madness is aptly named due to its MANY contest categories. We have
only adopted a few here for our purposes in Stormcrowe. A few of the categories are
cumlative, so they will account for actions, awards, and some atrocities in past
turns. Before we get to the scoring matrix for Turn 8, here are the overall scores in
the contest through 7 turns.
There was another scoring mishap involving Le Pentarque warrior, Maitre
Boulanger. He died in the tournament, but was immortal because he receieved his
invite. It looks as if HAL just kicked him from the fights, not recognizing his
immortal status, or that is how I am understanding it. As such, I have given Le
Pentarque and his squad full points for running a full team/squad. This scoring
change is reflected in the current standings.

********************
Scoring for Turn 8 will use the following guidelines:
+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)
********************
Next turn will be the Mordanti Olympics. The top 3 teams over the course of the
SSV will be given significant points for "medaling" (not to be confused with meddling,
like some pesky kids) with their contest performances. Other points for the turn will
be awarded in Challenge matches ONLY. Be mindful of these rules when preparing for
Turn 9!
The three teams (not squads) with the best win-loss record over turns 1-9 (who
meet minimum fight criteria). Cumulative kills and total recognition will serve as tie
breaks if needed.
Gold: 25 points
Silver: 15 points
Bronze: 10 Points
+3 Points for an Attacker [Challenge] Win (Challenges against squad-mates will incur a
-2 point penalty)
+3 Points for a Defender [being Challenged] Win (Challenges from squad-mates will
incur a -2 point penalty)
********************
The end of the contest is in sight! I want to encourage everyone to finish well.
Even if your hopes and dreams have been dashed against your opponents plate mail,
there is always the Endurance prize for just being consistent and showing up for the
fights.
Good luck and happy dueling,
-- Master Darque

SPY REPORT
It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty,
and despair! Like a chunk of francium heaved into a wet pond, GOING BERSERK blew up
the rankings to 14! Managers were muttering after CSU COLLEGE RADIO showed
STORMCROWE what they could do: 4-1-0 to move up by 14. Perhaps it is SHEWISH BUFFET
members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 32nd to 12th last week...
(Less time in the sun...) The boys at TIME STALLYANS aren't the happy-go-lucky bunch
we all know and love, after suffering a 12 drop last week. Rumor has it an incurable
disease has swept the stable of OTTODROME XLV. Note their drop in the rankings from
13th to 26th. Watch out!!! Thinking about sending their team manager to the Dark
Arena is AVID FANS, after suffering a 21 drop in ranking. BIG LAKE KILLERS posted a
nice gain, to come in 3rd. Everybody loves a winner... SHEWISH BUFFET had cause to
celebrate, after HUMAN BEAN got 18 points by beating FLYING DUTCHMAN. A certain
someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 13 points to
UNDK. (Discrete enough, MELISSA?) You could cut the tension with a scimitar as
PTOMAINE of TIME STALLYANS met the Duelmaster. PTOMAINE found out that STORMCROWE
isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! Word has it one
team in STORMCROWE is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys
in BASH BROS CARS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em.
The warriors of BASH BROS CARS found their efforts at combat frustrated as AVID FANS
apparently had more important things to do than fight. Everyone is famous for
fifteen minutes, and FOMO is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't YUPPIE
HORDE proud! Word has it FOMO suffered a romantic setback. Note how she challenged
PROWLER, 28 points hers senior. It's not whether you win or lose, but how many
points you get (3). Right, FOMO? Them's the breaks, SHANGHAI. Expecting fair
challenges from BASH BROS CARS is evidently too much to ask. Bookies and LEMON were
more than a little surprised, as SHANGHAI snatched an easy victory from LEMON,
gaining 19 points. As a confidence booster, THE HOUND challenged FENDER BENDER, down
25 points. Do you also slay vicious rodents in your spare time, THE HOUND? Warriors
of STORMCROWE! Do you wish your reputations tainted by the base challenge of THE
HOUND?
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! The audience gave a nice round of rasberries to NASTY SAND DANCER of ABATTOIR
5 BLADES, for expiring in such an ungraceful fashion. 2-7-0, indeed! Death in the
arena! In a cheap quest for a cheap victory, TWISTED faced NASTY SAND DANCER in an
uneven fight. ABATTOIR 5 BLADES, we expect bloody revenge! Charity is unknown in
STORMCROWE, and rightly so. LAW DOGS exacted their revenge against PONY BRIGADE.
Justice was served as EXTRA USAGE fought GUMMI BEAR GAVEL in bloodfeud. Well done,
NOV FUN 14! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in
the arena. A certain tavern in STORMCROWE would I avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! More important duties call me. Like a mixed
metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid STORMCROWE farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

All you real warriors and teams, it is simply unfair that Shewish Drive Thru is in
first place through six. They are simply not nearly that good. -- U.N. (for The
Conscrips)
Mike, Mike. Silly and dead Mike. Now you know the true bottom of the world. Is it
hot down there? I know; I know; blame it all on Manta. -- Swiss Alp, International
Boulder, ha, ha, ha. Clearly I am the better and more important rock. -- Rock Of
Ages, International
Parabeagle, perhaps you shoulda been a tribeagle? -- Shanghai, International
Door Dings and Dead Battery, you were easier than Assur. (wink) -- Mongolia and Eire,
Internationals
Not to brag, or anything, well, maybe, but ... I am rather proud of that 5-0-1. --
U.N., Manager of Internationals
P.S. Perhaps two in a row?
Hey, Crip! Way to go, partner! -- U. N.
Egads! And congrats! Really. Well, I guess. Car Seat Headrest TCs Inits in the
Mailer. Wow! But doesn't that mean he gets disqualified from this competition? I
mean, what the heck! No professionals are allowed; are they? -- U.N. (a font of
fairness and amateurism everywhere)
I apologize to all the managers participating in the SSV tournament, for my
withdrawal. It is extremely difficult to stay competitive without my partner's help
for the past 5 turns. Good luck to you all. -- Sin Zoo (1st Division)

FIRST INAUGURAL ARVAT CONTEST SUPREME
Who can join? Anyone with a team in Arvat as of 2/1/2018.
When does it start? First turn due after 2/1/2018.
How long does it run? 13 turns.
How do I join? Announce your manager name and team name in the Arvat newsletter prior
to 2/1/2017 and state that you are entering the contest. Prior to the contest
actually starting you need to have 2 rollup certs sent to the Dark One care of RSI.
How do I win the contest? The team which has accrued the most points as of the end of
the 13th turn is the winner. The team which has the 2nd most points is declared the
runner up. And the team which has the 3rd most points is declared honorable
contender. Everyone else is a loser and should be ridiculed.
How do I score points?
1) Every challenge you win vs. another team in the contest = 10 points, as long as
that challenge is to a warrior equal to or above yours in the rankings. Except
for the Duelmaster who can challenge anyone he wants.
2) You also earn bonus points for every challenge won. For every point of
recognition your target is ranked above you, you earn one bonus point. This is
for challenges only.
3) If you are challenged by a warrior below you and defeat him, you will gain 5
points.
4) Also every random matchup against a contest team that you win will earn you 5
points -- up or down.
5) You CAN downchallenge, however you get no points for doing so, and if you are
beaten, your opponent will earn 10 points and the right to ridicule you in the
newsletter.
6) Bloodfeud challenges count just like regular challenges during the contest.
7) In addition there are the following bonus points that are awarded each turn:
A) Duelmaster earns 10 points
B) Graduating a warrior earns 10 points
C) Recognition Leader (Chartered or Unchartered) earns 5 points (if the
Duelmaster is the recognition leader as well, then only the DM points apply)
D) Popularity Leader earns 5 points
E) Turn's most popular earns 5 points
F) Top team on the move earns 5 points
G) Current Top team earns 10 points
H) Any warrior that earns a Tournament Champion in either the April Mail In or
July FTF tournament earns 20 points
I) Any warrior that earns a Tournament Victor in either of those tournaments
earns 10 points
J) Note that Top Chartered and Unchartered team awards do NOT earn points
What are the rules regarding other teams in the arena? If you challenge any warriors
not participating in the contest you LOSE 20 points, unless the challenged warrior is
the Duelmaster. If any manager has a 2nd (or 3rd) team in the arena they may NOT
challenge any warrior of any team participating in the contest or they are
DISQUALIFIED.
What do I win if I win this contest?
1) The winner wins all of the rollup certificates given as entry fee for the contest.
In addition, the winner gets to pick 3 of the prizes below.
2) The runner up gets to pick 2 of the prizes below.
3) The honorable contender gets to pick one of the prizes below.
In addition, all competitors in the contest who run all 13 turns and at least 62 total
fights will earn 1 potion of +1 bonus, which must be used on a warrior who
participated at least 1 fight in the contest.
Also, the team that scores the most points on any one turn of the contest (other than
the winner, runner up or honorable contender) can pick one prize that was NOT selected
by those three.
Prizes:
1) Limited stat switch (You can swap any 2 stats you want on an Arvat replacement
rollup that you received within the next 6 month)
2) Extra replacements (Next time you get a replacement (or whenever you want within 6
months) in Arvat you can ask RSI for 5 additional replacements and select the best
one for your team)
3) Limited damage bump (You can pick one warrior on your Arvat team to move up one
damage class -- as long as he remains in-bounds for his ST/SZ stats)
4) Favorite weapon knowledge (You learn the favorite weapon of one of your Arvat
warriors -- must be on the team during the contest)
5) Favorite rhythm knowledge (You learn the favorite offensive effort and activity
level of one of your Arvat warriors, who most have been on your team during the
contest)
6) Shrinking potion (You get to take 3 points of size away from an Arvat replacement
during the next 6 months and add the 3 points to another stat -- both SZ and the
other stat must remain in bounds)
7) Extra skills (Any one of your warriors in Arvat learns 3 extra skills of your
choice (no more than 2 can be in the same area and must be in bounds)
8) Extra train (Any one of your Arvat warriors gets an extra stat train in the area
of your choice -- and must be in bounds)
9) The Dark One's Massive Rollup prize (You get 50 team sheets, at random, from the
Dark One's massive pile of teams. Most will be mediocre at best, but there are
plenty of decent to good warrior prospects in there!)
All prizes must be applied within 6 months from the end of the tournament, must be on
Arvat warriors on the team that participated in the contest and must be in bounds.
