THE NORTH FORK ANNUAL REVIEW
8/2004 to 7/2005
(Turns 214 to 226)
on my quest to get caught up on these things. First off, as of turn 213, there were
31 teams in the arena. On turn 226, that number grew to 43 teams. Very nice.

A couple very interesting occurrences on the Top 5 Teams list this time around.
First off, this was the first ever report that *didn't* have Mystic Orc Feast in the
Top 5. Was Slugbait ill? Had quality recruits been hard to find? Was the team just
plain full? In other news, the local Consortium representative, the All Record-
Breaking Oz, blew away Crip's old team record of 66.66% set back in 02-03. Very
nicely done.

sucked, they weren't the worst ever.

Worst record for the year had a tie in 04-05 when both Neufchatella (how the *heck*
do you pronounce that with only one tongue?) and Amalric both couldn't seem to put
together two wins for the whole year. I hope the DA wasn't too hard on you guys.
Still, you did manage to do better than the worst ever 0-7-0 (-7 ranking points)
performance by Olgon Puy back in 02-03).

Land Of Oz came out strong in 2004-2005 by taking the highest Recognition gain of the
year by nearly 70 points. However, that only averaged out to 23.7 pts per turn which
still wasn't close to the Royal Flush record of 27.4 per turn. Sorry Oz, but Crip
still owned this category. Likewise, All-Star-Nana's impressive 74 points in a
single turn wasn't enough to knock off the Flush's 87 point record-holding turn.

Sara F. almost made it, but Ace Metric's 97 point total Recognition gain was just
enough to eke out the highest total gain for 2004-2005. At an average of 7.5 per
turn, that still wasn't enough to take the 9.7 per turn record held by Wolfgang Duck.
On the other hand Jabberwock's 40 points in a single turn came *very* close to the
old 41 point record jointly held by Steve McQueen and Cup of Cat.

It looks like Crip had a couple warriors vying for the most meteoric drop of the year
with Queen of Denial and King Crab both sky-diving their way to the bottom of the
list. However, their old teammate, King Uvdahell's -7.9 per turn average remained
far worse than any measly -4.8 per turn drop. On the single turn side of it, King
Uvdahell still remained king of the loser hill with his record of -112 points lost in
a single turn.

11 turns as the top Parry Rip in 2004-2005. On the other hand, it looks like we need
to get a few more solid Bashers, Plungers and Pikers in this arena.

Bear Acuda & Courage tied for most turns as Duelmaster and Chartered Recognition
Leader at 3 turns each. That's about 23.1% of the year. So, Ten Commandments still
retained the records with both 40% of turns as DM and 30% of turns as CRL. As no one
managed more than 2 turns as Unchartered Recognition Leader (Lady Arcane & Spawing of
Spewn), Wold Demia's dominating 50% of turns record held firm.

Ahura Mazda's 38% of the year run as Popularity Leader was fairly impressive, but
didn't come close to the old 77% of the year record held by Insolent Idiot. In the
ever-fickle This Week's Favorite category, only Ahura Mazda managed to repeat.
Therefore, no one's managed to beat the 20% of the year record held by Insolent
Idiot. Surprisingly, we had a tie for This Week's Least Favorite as both Jack & Jill
and Sister Mary Sarah bored fans into a coma 2 turns each. That's nowhere close to
the 40% of turns record held by Biblish.

Frustration. Both records were set in 2003-2004.

In 2004-2005 Skeleton Key joined the ranks of Sponertiks, Royal Flush and Coffee
Rules for most turns avoided in a year (3). On the other hand, Mystic Orc Feast's
having spent 30% of the year avoiding other teams remains an unchallenged record as
only Dur Edhel, Land of Oz and Royal Flush repeated on the Most Avoiding list.

* - The average fight length was 2.57 minutes.
Sister Mary Sarah came close, but didn't manage to overtake Manic Fuhrer's 43 minute
record for longest fight in a year. Personally, I blame her dance partners, Jack &
Jill for their lack of stamina. Our average fight length was down 0.27 minutes from
2004-2005 and well short of our 3.61 minute record.

* - Bloodfeuds and challenges by the Chartered Recognition Leader were excluded.

We had averaged 3.46 kills per turn in 2004-2005, which still came short of our 4.1
per turn record. Second Bananas and Feather's Flyin' proved most bloodthirsty, but
less so than Mystic Orc Feast's 0.7 kills/turn record. Likewise, with a max of 2
kills per warrior, no one came close to Pacifism's 0.3 kills per turn average.
However, special mention has to go to Devout Christian for nearing Pacifism for most
ironic name in this category.

A total of 22 new teams in the arena is very cool. However it still doesn't touch
the record set during the original Turf War of 1.9 new teams per turn.
Well, that closes the door on what happened in 2004 to 2005. Next turn I'll bring us
up to current by reporting on this past year (2005 to 2006). Hopefully you alliance
geeks mentioned who you are, what teams you run and what alliance you're in this turn
so I can include an alliance report next turn. If you didn't, you can email me the
info by writing to deric.page@usa.net or PM 'Drake' on the www.duel2.com website.
Now go away and leave me alone.

SPY REPORT
Thankyouthankyou. It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in
DOUBLE-X. Hope you enjoy the show. Oh, who am I kidding? I already got paid! Take
a look at BLACK STORM's act, as they have a 2-3-0 week and gain 12 places in the team
ranking. A stormcloud is brewing over the SALEM'S LOT guildhouse. Rumor says any
more weeks like this ones 0-0-0 may send the team to the Dark Arena. Advancing in
the rankings was ROYAL FLUSH who went from last turn's 616-501-32, to this week's
record of 620-502-32. Hey everybody, watch out for JACK MCFARLAND, who flew up 22
points in the rankings after mashing MINOR BLUE like a melon. Keep your eye on this
beast. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. MINOR BLUE lost
to JACK MCFARLAND and drops 20 points. Try as hard as the OLD HABITS stable might,
they were unable to find their warrior (and ex-Duelmaster) SISTER MARY SARAH before
this week's fights. In front of all the crowds, B.B. CROSS took the Duelmaster's
crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. An apple a day keeps the doctor away,
but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the DOUBLE-X arena. And hey,
kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid BLACK STORM, please raise you hand. Wow.
Does DOUBLE-X really have that many liars? And you guys like to boo me? Well,
unsling your rasberries, cause LAND OF OZ beats feet every time BLACK STORM smiles at
them. Try farming, eh? Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, CUP OF TOE
would be president. Although it may be a contest he doesn't want to win. In a
touching display by a 'touched' warrior, BEXAR went after TEN IS RAQUET, who was
higher by 20 points. Well, when the dust settled, BEXAR was beat by TEN IS RAQUET.
MR NICE GUY of SMOKED OUT!!! had better have a good reason for challenging down 13
points in a challenge which he won. I thought MR NICE GUY showed great skill and
promise when he subdued SWAMP THUG HAMMER. All right, so I slept through it! Big
deal!
Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). PAUL BEARER defied all odds and slew MR.
COFFEE in the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as MR.
COFFEE's meat is notoriously tough. DEVOUT CHRISTIAN defied all odds and slew PUTRID
PATRICK in the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as PUTRID
PATRICK's meat is notoriously tough. BUSTED WING says to his dog--'Who should I
fight this week?'. Dog says 'PUTRID PATRICK'. So the guy dies. Moral? Put lying
dogs to sleep. Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the
arena with you and see what happens.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DOUBLE-X have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you
worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

had to fight under the burden of exhaustion. Exhaustion I tell ya! Alas, no
mosquitoes will get past our 'epees' now. So sayeth.
Adder -- When this swelling goes down I'll have my eye on you. -- Magnas

Baphomet -- You don't speak for anyone and you definitely don't need to stick your
nose into DEA business! In fact don't speak unless spoken to!! You may be able to
fool all of the people sometimes or some of the people all the time, but you cannot
fool my Desolate Brothers into thinking you're about anything--on the sands or off!
Remember that! -- D.K. Heathen Hatebred
P.S. A downchallenge where you have 13 more FE and you get killed?!? You still
haven't learned a thing, have you?
Desolate Brothers -- I'm trying to make it back here, but funds have been very

(ha ha) -- D K Blackstorm
Arcane Angels -- I once knew a villain named Soltan Gris who had a archnemesis named
Jeffrto Heller, A.K.A. JP Rockacenter JR! That was a long time ago and I was just
wondering if your Soltan Haller was related? Either way, I love the name. -- D.K.
Toker
V.C. -- Win something? What have you won? Nothing that I've seen! Talk about
yapping gums, just shut up, lames! -- D.K. Toker (laughing at the stupidity of the
V.C.'s statements!)
D.K. Kon and Blackstorm -- All should be back here soon. Most including myself
didn't plan on fighting here on a regular basis until the next TW! However,
considering the wonderful war we have going now, we will lay the pipe in them here,
31, and 52. And anywhere else they want! May your warriors' blades be stained with
V.C. blood! -- Dark Knight Toker, mgr. Smoked Out!!! (637)
Sensei Jan -- 6-2-0 to 1-0-0 and ten rec pts advantage. Now I know what Baphomet was
talking about! Your strategy is questionable in the honor department when it is done
repeatedly like you seem to do. I do promise it will be returned in kind. Hope you
don't run when the situation is reversed! -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire
M.D. -- I appreciate your email, regardless of the war, it shows you have class! --
D.K. Toker
All -- Vendetta Cartel -- Just like in 52 where I stated that I play every turn in:
DM-1, 18, 31, 47, 52 and 104 plus 21 and 59 here and there. Come see me anytime you
choose. No running, and I'm not going to look like an idiot listing every arena
where there might be one D.E. team active. You all know where we are. -- Dark Knight
Toker
Fred Bear -- Darn it! You were supposed to cry "Uncle", not run away and strike back.
-- Jack McFarland
Clintonlikesbush -- I thought you had thicker skin than that.... -- Lowell
Drake -- Nice to see you back. -- Mannequin
Vallhalan -- Is that a name or nationality? -- Da Ting
Swamp Storm -- Savagely defeated?! Savagely defeated?! When *I* was the one pushing

10 July 2006
The Dark Knights sat at the Dark Table with grim faces. All present knew that there
could be no quarter. The Forces of Desolation would be unleashed. There would be no
turning back, no mercy and no hesitation to do what was necessary. Teeth gritted and
knuckles whitened with fury as the IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION was signed by each Dark
Knight.
AS OF JULY 1, 2006 -- WAR IS DECLARED ON THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS THE VENDETTA
CARTEL.
The Desolate Empire -- Dark Knights: Ancient Creep, Blackstorm, Dok Sik, Goat,
Heathen, Hatebred, Kon, Osiris, Toker, Wasby the Great
14 July 2006
In response to the Desolate Empire's declaration of war, the Vendetta Cartel offers
the following response:
The members of the Vendetta Cartel can be found in 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 22, 25, 28,
31, 39, 45, 47, 50, 52, 54, 59, 60, 100, and 106. Stop yapping in the all-arena ads,
pick an arena, issue a challenge, actually win something, and then maybe (and we
stress maybe) you may speak. You may come to our home arenas (8, 31, and 47) and
confront us, but we suggest you learn to win in your own "home" arena (52) first.
