No sooner had Marais's head been dragged under the swamp, the painted one threw himself prone and began to kick and scream. To Goat he looked like nothing more than a two year old throwing a temper tantrum. But suddenly the swamp began to bubble, almost as if it were boiling, and the creature that had grabbed Marais surfaced, thrashing wildly. Soon, it lay still. Goat could see see something wrapped around the creature's throat. Marais's head came up and she slowly unwrapped her tongue from around the creature's neck. Voo-Doo's sobs turned to sniffles as he wiped the tears from his eyes, then he held his arms out to the karragit. Goat raised his arms and a glowing sphere surrounded the pair. They dissipated in a flash and Goat was left standing in the swamp holding ABRAXIS's precious mud. The cry of "No!" had now been replaced by Goat's musical laughter. **-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----**-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----** NORTH FORK YELLOW RAG Well, do I feel like a complete idiot, or what?! I usually get called an idiot a lot, but not completely. Anyway, I reported last turn that Slugbait won the Jhans Death Fest. OOPS!!! Sorry, that was Shocking Toad! Sorry Slugbait, no disrespect or insult meant. Musta been the "crawling on the ground" thing, ya know? Geez, what an idiot! Nah, not Slugbait...nor even Shocking Toad. Just *ME*! Okay, now that I"ve straightened that junk out, on to Turn 213 news! Three Bloodfeuds and each challenge revenges. Three DAs and everyone loses. Unless, of course, the replacement was of superior quality (like the RUGS often do that!). Then everyone actually wins. Okay, more Boolean Algebra. (I know...nobody understands such complex mathematics. I understand.) Twenty-two challenges posted. More lost than won. Challenges posted went 9-13-0. Less than half won. Ain't that disgusting! Of course, the matchups went 50/50. Some won, some lost. Ain't that cool? The only death came as a result of a matchup! Our condolences to Crip and Royal Flush for the demise of Queen of Denail at the hands of My Day's Frustration. Better watch out for Slaughter Priest. Crips Flush don't play fair. Well, that's what I hear, anyway. Only two compruns last turn. And, the managers not participating were: Drake, Phat-Phat, Abraxis, Bartender, and Doc Mabuse. (Three of these were Vendetta Cartel!) (Sorry, only two! The other's Vendett@United!) Okay, on to my Turn 213 awards: Best Manager goes to The Mun for his 5-0-0 turn with All-Star Nanas. What in blazes is an "All-Star Nana"? I've been trying to figure that out for some time now. Just thoguht I'd ask, ya know? Whiner of the Month...again, Eddy the Gimp and Bob the Bard. Like we care who you made anygry wherever you were before here. You're here now, and the past don't mean much. Write, fight, whatever suits your fancy. Most Improved Manager goes to Hammer!@ He posted a 3-2-0 on Turn 213 and appears to be taking the Turf War III a little more seriously. Ya'll might want to watch it 'cause Hammer can be competitive when he chooses! Funniest P-ad goes to Mannequin for his quip on Drew's Crew (managed by Abraxis). I won't repeat it, but Mannequin thinks his own alliance is more detrimental to him than the Vendett@United boys. Okay, that's enough blathering for one month. Plus, I gotta go replace my quill point. The darned hippgryph quills just ain't what they used to be. Until then, remmeber...it ain't personal... it's just business. Baphomet, TCB **-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----**-----*-----*-----*-----*-----*-----** * * * * TW 3 -- #6 * * * * OK... Questions answered first: Baphomet -- Art Pendragon earned 100 tps for his TV as a champ, which was added to the *alliance* total, not the warrior or team. It is done. Hammer -- My head was up somewhere dark... the rest of me was absent. As for TW 4, there probably will *NOT* be one. That's why I changed the prize. Skullagrim -- No problem changing leaders, but the last declaration for new teams must by in by turn #216's newsletter, as stated in the rules (turn #208).

Bloody sands! -- Asmo Dius, TCB DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Greetings Fellow 'Forkers and those visiting us for the Turf War. First off, thanks to Paula for a good fight. Not looking forward to going through THAT again. Secondly, I'm hoping to hold onto the throne for a bit, but there's an awful lot of fight experience ranked just below me. My luck for being an overachiever, eh? Lastly, I just want to say that I'm glad this is my home arena. Plenty of talented teams, and a slew of great managers make me proud to call North Fork home. Best of luck, folks! -- Bear Acuda SPY REPORT Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in NORTH FORK this turn, and let's start with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the difference, as MYSTIC ORC FEAST is pushed out of top team by ALL-STAR NANA'S, who came from 4th with a 4-1-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for MYSTIC ORC FEAST, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 8 into 9th. The SKELETON KEY guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, LATTE fought DEEP FRIED LARD and gained 20 points and contributed to COFFEE RULES!'s 3-2-0. CLINTONLIKESBUSH has lost to AURRA SING, falling 11 points, while helping make NATURAL B. KILLERS 2 a 2-3-0 turn. This week's Duelmaster bout was between KING CRAB and our Duelmaster BEAR ACUDA, making a challenge. The attempts to dethrone the Duelmaster have failed, and BEAR ACUDA remains NORTH FORK's top warrior for another turn. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Welcome Wench uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle! The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. I also notice that the SKELETON KEY stable was the most avoided team this turn. Come on NORTH FORK, what are you afraid of? And guess who avoided SKELETON KEY stable the most? Believe it or not, it was MY DAY. Anyone surprised? Well, sports fans, take notice that SWEET N LOW from COFFEE RULES! was NORTH FORK's most challenged warrior this turn. Well now, what do you expect when someone like GREEDY from RAT SALAD challenges down 17 points to fight HELLUIN of DUR EDHEL? We're not surprised to hear that GREEDY overcame HELLUIN, but I bet it would be interesting to hear why RAT SALAD made such a challenge. The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace. Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. The Welcome Wench declares a free round for ACE BAILEY and all of ROYAL FLUSH, for having revenged MY DAY's FRUSTRATION for killing one of their comrades. Is it really true that NORTH FORK has more dishwashers per capita that fighters? Just thought I'd ask... Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in NORTH FORK and I've a long road ahead of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in NORTH FORK again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BEAR ACUDA 4995 12 6 1 140 THE BEAR'S PAW (150) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ACE BAILEY 4948 12 13 0 105 ROYAL FLUSH (48) LATTE 4667 20 14 0 101 COFFEE RULES!

Sometimes even good match-ups don't make up for a good warrior! -- (the humble) B.B. Cross .) Dude Duke -- Nothing like my sister am I? Thought you had an easy downchallenge there, didn't ya? Wrong answer, Pal!!! -- Minor Blue P.S. Don't beat up my sister anymore :) SME -- Just a little to fast for ya there, sis. -- B.B.C. SMC -- Well sister, you got me, good fight! -- Jay White Settler -- That's what you get you stinkin' white settler! (just kidding) How about, how'd it feel to get your butt kicked, or maybe hey man hope I didn't hurt you to bad. Anyway, see ya around. -- Kelso Old Buddy -- Well so far so good. We'll see how many feathers I can ruffle. :) -- Tuff Stuff Frustration -- Ah, yes, so well describing my abbreviated dueling career. 9-9-12-15- 17-9-13 with 50 learned skills, but with extreme shortage on decise and riposte make for mediocrity. -- Queen of Denial Mass Stupidity -- Certainly not our day. Time to tweak the strategy as we've been seeing too much of your type. -- Ace Bailey Daster Marque -- Well, I can tell by the ratings that you are way way above me in skills already -- Ten C-O Meter She-Hulk Hammer -- Don't you ever quit? Ouch, that hurt! -- Jack & Jill Turf War Tuffies -- Get yer shots at my stable while they are in North Fork! I expect to have a more permanent stable moved in for the New Year! -- Hammer Mr Coffee -- Finally finished writing a return letter and mailed it August 25th from Qatar! -- Hammer The Unknown Spymaster -- Thanks for mentioning my stable's 3-2-0 turn last cycle! May they do as well or better! -- Hammer Mannequin -- If you are trying to have HAWKEYE HAMMER killed then you better get it done soon! -- Hammer The Mun -- Looks like FALCON HAMMER did NOT get his strategy revamped and KATIE hogged the skills! -- Hammer Crip -- Another unexpected surprise victory performance by SHE HULK HAMMER vs JACK & JILL last cycle! -- Hammer Goat -- Your two Down Challenges are noted! WASP HAMMER continues to disappoint while YLW JACKET HAMMER continues to surprise! Interesting 1-1 results! -- Hammer P.S. Death Fest awaits you! Kat -- Congratulations to BEAR ACUDA for claiming the Turf War Throne! May you continue to claim the Throne thru graduation! -- Hammer P.S. Hopefully my stable will do their small part to contribute during the Turf War stretch drive! Art Pendragon -- Somehow, I thought you'd be a lot taller. Grand-looking, you know? Not a little red-headed squirt. Oh, well, they also server who are little red-headed squirts, and having a TV challenge to use is something to be proud of. I congratulate you on that. -- Folmor Grigg Viciousness -- Oh, yeah, I've had days like THAT. Gods. -- Pella Rees Helluin -- It's always a pleasure to meet a good student who also loses. The problem with people like you is, you get a bunch of skills and then you come back and defeat me. I don't really go for that part. -- Rondol Quiglo P.S. But I guess you understand, too. For a Good Time -- You thought it was? *I* didn't. -- Nin Quire, bruised and sore P.S. I guess the arena is the ultimate haven of the short Shews, isn't it? At least, there seem to be more short Shews, and SHORTER Shews here than anywhere else I've ever seen. Baphomet -- Okay, the letter has not gone out as of when this is being written (a week early). Sorry. Can I claim the F2F and Gen Con as excuses? 'Course, it'd be more fun to make that claim if I actually got to GO to one of 'em, instead of just holding down the office (which was not about to float away, really it wasn't) while everybody ELSE went. I was favorably impressed with your handbook and would recommend it to new players if asked. A substantial piece of work there. -- Jorja Sweet N Low -- Good effort & luck for the future... -- A.D. Wasted Effort -- As if to rub salt in the wounds of your wasted efforts against me, I think the boss has requested a night foght for me this cycle... with my 11 WIT and 6 WILL I can hardly blame him!! -- O'Limey B R Spawing of Spewn -- Not even close... well won... the boss wanted someone to have a look see... almost a relief to se you are at least coderately mapable. -- Lud B Jenna -- Too good for me... -- Ivan the beaten on Sheldon -- A bad result for me means an excellent one for you. Congrats! -- Mutus B Coffe Rules -- Thank you for the welcome, it's good to see the city of North Fork again. -- Natural B. Killers Nazareth -- You seem to have lost your advantage, or I gained mine. -- Mallory RSI CS -- Resilient aren't you. -- Sir Killalot Nahum -- You might not be on the team tommorow with another performance like that. -- The Juice Trefot -- der Totmann. -- Hitler Youth Vendetta@United -- As the old saying goes, imitation is the ultimate form of flattery, you shall learn the meaning of Vendetta. -- Natural B. Killers Kensai -- Damn STers. -- Cris Columbus Crip -- How many arenas do we share now? 4? -- Natural B. Killers Kat, Fizban, Dr. Mabuse, Master Darque, Phat Phat, Firehawk, Street Legal, Slaughter Priest, Hammer. Nice to see the whole fandamily, who are those upstart copycats (V.@.U.) anyway, dregs from the past? -- Maximillian SCOMMS -- Whoa! Nice point jump! Planning on making this a contest I see. Ok, no more null turns for the Kat Krew representing the Vendetta Cartel! -- Kat Bob the Retard and Eddie the Limp; You mental widgets missed my point last month. I'll not care to explain as the noble side of me determines a battle of wits with unarmed opponents to be tasteless. -- The Clawed Caretaker of Care-Not, Kat Latte -- I saw it coming, but REALLY! -- Kat Galdr -- My condolences over your defeat, but my gratitude for ending Halle's slide. She was getting awfully depressed. -- The Calico of Cool, Kat Devout Christian -- Shouldn't you be taking on Sister Mary Clarance, rather than my newbies? -- The Feline of Funtime, Kat Ventetta Cartellians -- Five style masters, three awards, two of the top teams on the move, and a kill! (granted, a freaky, unexplainable one, but a kill nonetheless) Way to apply the pressure! Let's keep it up! -- The Russian Blue of Rah-Rah, Kat Dastardly Crip -- You probably see it coming, but I'm looking forward to the rubber match between my 'fighting fish' and your 'crabby patty'. -- The Maniacal Manx, Kat North Fork Parry Riposte's -- Come now, subtract my warrior and Rippers are 4-24-0 in the last ten turns. Granted, I despise the style, but a 14% W/L? People are going to think y'all are pushovers! -- The Tabby of Tally, Kat *Turf War III New Warriors* Carcharoth and Ithilnaur will fight for Dur Edhel; also Eldhwen will be my new champion. P.S. Asmo, why is it that the Individual change scores don't add to equal the team change score? (Example: Fellowship's of SCOMMS (+1700) pt gain in TW3 #5. What are the extra 560 pts for?) She Hulk Hammer -- I shall avoid you forever. -- Talotso's Ghost P.S. Bad things happen to TP's who can't take a few hits Rondol Quiglo -- Four skills, wow, maybe I'll win a fight someday soon. -- Hellun To All -- Kill@t Will is back and they are ready for action. So step back and enjoy the show, my friends. Ok so let's get this party started. See you at the sands. That is all. -- Voodoo To All -- My name is AurraSing. I'm the newest member of Kill @t Will, and I'm hoping I do well and make my manager proud, also the ones who trained me. Zinella Azron of Mojo P@trol and also Dagor Savonaleon from that camp. We are all under VooDoo's tutalege. Thank you all my friends. Be sure not to miss my singing with my weaopns. Till I see you on the sands later. -- Aurra Side Hammer -- Looking forward to your snailmail. -- Mr. Coffee Oz The All Powerful -- Congrats on your 400th win, a 4-1 turn, and all around Ozness! -- Mr. Coffee Crip -- Congrats (a little late) on 1000 fights in Northfork. What an accomplishment! What is that? 15 years? WOW! -- Mr. Coffee Trebors -- Welcome back. -- Mr. Coffee/Coffee Rules! Baphomet -- Then there were two. Remember it's not whether we win or lose but that they remember two stood against many. -- Mr. Coffee AD -- How about correcting Bev. Inc's SM total to read 4, not 3? Thanks. -- Mr. Coffee Kat -- No big deal. Maybe you can give me something next time. I give you 5 skills, I get a win. Hmph! -- Mr. Coffee The Jesuits -- I can't kill on command or most of my fights would be death matches. Sorry I couldn't help you. -- Mr. Coffee Baphomet -- Your 0-2 is better than the Bartender packing up his watered down bottles of cheap booze and getting on the first wagon leaving Northfork. -- Mr. Coffee Baphomet -- And it's definitely better than offering Drake a spot on my TWIII tea, with a cert even, and him not even acknowledging the offer. -- Mr. Coffee Ed, The Scribe, All at RSI -- Good job and thanks. -- Mr. Coffee Thank you. :) -- Ed. Leviathan, Corpulent -- What was that?! That was no fun. Who wants to battle teammates? Yuck! And somehow we were lucky in both and shouldn't have won either. -- Hourglass and Humbug Wyrd -- You had the wrong weapon! You may as well have taken an axe to me! Salute. -- Wyrd The Fisher King -- I sincerely thak you for the challenge and the double points for the win. You are the man, er ah, woman! -- Courage Osloben Benboben -- Did you think that because I am female that I would be easy? Was I? Oz loves those double points for lost challenges, me, too! I feel good! -- Rainbow Mannequin -- Well, the spell still worked for Oz and Father! Where were you last round. Hmmmm. -- Oz The All-Puzzled (recasts spell) Fellowship of The SCOMSS -- Well done! A gentle move into first place! If only we had done well enough this time to have stayed there. The good, the bad and the ugly. -- Oz The All Excited and Concerned Avoiding Knights Templar? Chicken Little? -- Oz The All Avoiding (cluck, cluck, cluck) Folmor Grigg -- DARN! My manager remembered you from Noblish Island and thought he'd pull a fast one for a push toward Duelamster. Well, once again, he proves himself an idiot! -- Art Pendragon Art -- Keep running off and you go night fighting. -- Baphomet Baphomet -- Like you'd do that. I'm your first TV, and the best on this team. I'm kinda indispensible right now. (Not to mention the Champ here.) -- Art Art -- Okay, point taken. Sheesh! -- Baphomet Fat-Boy -- Twenty-two minutes? I ain't seen the fight sheet yet, but I'm real anxious to see that one! -- Sir Galahad CFH -- If you wanted to konw the styles in my stable, all you had to do was ask. I'd have told you! Now, go play in someone else's sandbox for a while. Otherwise, I might take the attacks personally and then we'd be right back where we started four years ago. Know what I mean? -- Baphomet Jorja -- Thanks. Haven't received your messenger yet, but am eagerly awaiting its arrival. Just hope it's not Karrigit (they have a really nasty smell) and ogre's are just plain FUGLY! -- Baphomet the Grateful *A.D.* -- My new champ will be...*Marred Teeny*! -- The Bartender, for Mixed-up Mixers All -- Sorry to miss last turn. I wanted to get my abyssmal showing off the Mr. Coffee awards! -- The Bartender AD -- I declare for Vendett@United. My champion is Sara Fister. Goat -- What's up with the woodpile? 24 August 2004 Invitation to Newbie Managers by Hammer As a Captain of the Vendetta Cartel, Hammer has recently dissolved the Vendetta Cartel Crimson Ascension Family.
