                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Hail, hail, and well met!!!  It's with profound pride and joy that I stand
before you on Turf War eve as your fair Duelmaster.  As I stand on the throne and don
the purple robes, I see excitement and joy throughout our city... for the Turf War is
about to begin!  I haven't seen this many warriors and managers congregate in one
place in quite some time.... it sure is a sight to behold!
     On to more serious matters, let us have a moment of silence for Bogbane... as my
ascension to this lofty perch was not without some bloodshed.  Unfortunatley for
Master Darque, I can say with some certainty that this bloodfued will not be settled
this turn, as I have other matters which must be attended.  We shall see how this
plays out in the future....
     Now boys and girls... children and adults of all ages... what you've all been
waiting for... the inaugural turn of Turf War VII....  LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!

<UPROARIOUS APPLAUSE ENSUES AND THE SOUNDS OF WEAPONS CLASH THROUGHOUT THE CITY>

Your Duelmaster,
Kana Ballistic

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
TEMPLE OF ABARSIS brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, OBSIDIAN 
ORDER, since LAND OF OZ took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  If 
The Dripping Blade is buying drinks for AGGRESSIVE MEDIOCRE's good turn, I'm afraid 
the place will be dry before long.  A 4-1-0 makes for a big thirst.  With any luck, I 
can sneak into The Dripping Blade and join ROYAL FLUSH's celebration over their good 
record this turn.  11th place, not bad.  Look out below!  ABYSMAL RITES is on the way 
down, falling to 18th from 6th with a 1-4-0!  Ha ha ha ha!  Oh, this is too good to 
be true!  FAST FOOD has fallen to 21st place after going 2-3-0 this turn.  Who's 
bragging now?  If The Dripping Blade is buying drinks for VEGAN CANNIBALS' good turn, 
I'm afraid the place will be dry before long.  A 4-1-0 makes for a big thirst.  Gee, 
I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, THE BIZZARR, the Fates teach 
humility, and the Fates are proud.  TEMPLE OF ABARSIS saw the first turn for LES 
TURFISTES, a 5-0-0, and some teams are scared, others are too arrogant to notice.  
Take note friends, take note.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see 
VENDETTA win a fight and gain 26 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, PROWL beat HUNTER and 
HUNTER lost 15 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  KANA BALLISTIC challenged AFRICAN 
QUEEN for TEMPLE OF ABARSIS' Title this turn, and guess what happened?  And it's out 
with the old, in with the new, as AFRICAN QUEEN takes the Title and last week's bar 
tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  I'm not in a very good mood today, but why 
am I telling you this?  You want to know what's new, don't you, TEMPLE OF ABARSIS?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
What's the big D?  THE BEAR'S PAW was the most avoided team?  Bunch of lily 
livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And it looks like OF WOLF & MAN avoided 
them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.  Ooh, 
I'm frightfully impressed, RUSTY 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 
MANDORALLEN has challenged up by 29 in an attempt against THE LION KING.  Not that 
I'm surprised or anything, but MANDORALLEN was beat by THE LION KING, leaving the 
latter lower for recognition points.  I guess I can give a little credit to SMOKEY 
BEAR of THE BEAR'S PAW for challenging up by 23 to SALSA ELEMENTAL.  SMOKEY BEAR lost 
to get 84 points of recognition.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  Bye bye, warrior, bye bye...  HETTAR, a glorious 
9-10-1 fighter, has passed away.  Gee, too bad PAWN OF PROPHECY.  And what a stunning 
loss we have here, boys and girls, SUICIDE BLIND of DEVIATION has added the final 
loss to his 6-5-0.  Tee hee!  It's about time RIME got beat for picking on warriors 
like BELLUM.  Bravo, IN QETERNUM.  See you at The Dripping Blade.  A big yahoo goes 
out to WHOPPER this turn, for revenging FAST FOOD's bloodfeud against SERPENTS HOLD's 
warrior FANG.  Heh, heh, heh.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the 
fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     There's got to be a better place in TEMPLE OF ABARSIS to get a drink than The 
Dripping Blade!  Any suggestions?  Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't 
be so nice!  So nyaaah!  Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

Vendett -- Ya, you were movin!  Had me to a close one too!  Sorry for the late reply.
-- Dekearc

Dark Angel -- As always, more talk than action from you... *sigh*  Wait... didn't you
just lose a fighter?  Awww...sorry too soon? -- Shade

Dark Angel -- Welcome back, steak lover! -- Shade

Dark Angel -- I am running Lost Honor... that's why I'm not paying up! -- Shade

Kcomus -- Wow!  My strats were a turn behind and I was expecting Gorgon again...
sorry. -- Luudo, mngr the Bizzarr

Dark Angel -- Welcome to your new home.  Sorry to hear about Stylus, remember no
position of EMINECE can last forever... maybe I'll take a STABB. -- Luudo

Royypnol -- Man, I don't remember anything for the rest of the night... perhaps you
should have waited longer?  Good fight. -- Niine

Arkane -- Heads up, it'll only get better, just remeber not to feed the lion!!! --
Luudo

Fast Food -- Good to see you haven't lost your touch. -- Luudo

Xicohtencatl -- Any time you want a rematch... challenge me. -- Gorgon, Obsidian
Order

you makes you stronger. <grin> -- Draqo Kazor, Obsidian Order

Michael Eldritch, -- I wish you luck in the Turf War. -- Skaven, Obsidian Order

I, Quezcatl, am announcing my team, Blood Magic, as entering into the Turf War as
captain of the alliance, All Under Heaven.  Moderators, the certs are on the way.

To all concerned:  I have changed teams for the upcoming Turf War.  Platonic Solids
is out,  Bubba's 3rd Army is in. -- Bubba Ganoosh

All -- I would like to announce the formation of the TORPUNZ alliance for this
addition of the Turf War.  I, Dark Angel, will captain the alliance.  I would like to
confirm the members as follows: The Bizzarr (mgr Luudo), The Titans (mgr Plague), New
Vengeance (mgr Arkane), Lost Honor (mgr Shade) and Black Lightning (mgr Dark Angel).
Let the games begin and the sands flow red! -- Dark Angel

Plague, Luudo, Arkane, Shade -- We are certainly a strange bunch to form an alliance,
don't you think???  There has been a lot of death and dismemberment amongst our teams
in years past; hopefully we can find a way to put it behind us (at least for 12
turns.).  I do wonder if we will be able to hold this alliance together for the full
duration, but in the meantime, raise your mug, luck to us all.  ALL HAIL TORPUNZ!!!
-- Dark Angel

Grimm -- Well, Grimm... that was quite the welcome back to the sands for my boy
Stylus.  When I first heard the news of his demise at the hands of your immortal, My
Shadow, I must admit I was not impressed.  But when his fellow team members brought
back to me the account of the duel (serves me right for sleeping in) I was satisfied
that his death was a honorable one.  I have no Bloodfeud recourse but I'm sure our
swords will meet again, and soon. -- Dark Angel

Nin Quire -- Your record does not seem to speak to your ability.  Now that the TW is
here I imagine you plan to come out of your shell? -- Endemic

Carrie -- That was quite an unexpected turn of events.  Learning is fun. -- Gencon

Avalanche -- I felt a little drafty in that match.  Someone bring me a blanket,
please. -- Rusty

Arkane -- Hey.  Get the name right, and for goodness sake get out of that bar and
manage that team of yours!  Trust me, the ale will be there when you get back.  You
represent us all now. -- Dark Angel

Turf war notes -- I declare Dartanyon (7263) as my current champion. -- Dark Angel,
mgr Black Lightning

Oz and myself -- I confirm Bubba Ganoosh and his team Bubba's 3rd Army for
participation in the Turf War under the banner of Team MAMBO. -- Master Darque, MAMBO
Captain

Action, mgr. of Token Entry, declares Inanna as champion.

Ghost of Bogbane -- My rod and my staff got ahead of me there my fallen comrade.  I'm
sure I'll be seeing some of your brethren in the not so distant future. -- Kana
Ballistic

Agoseris -- You sure are full of surprises, aren't you? -- Judgement Day

Velma Xavil -- Going forward I wish you would treat me with the same ineptitude that
you do other warriors... why do I bring out your best? -- Suicide Blind

Anje -- I'm thaddened that you thoundly beat me. -- Thadithtic Lithper

Team LOL -- Let's kick some North Fork tail!!! -- Marma Duke

TW Moderators -- Michael Eldritch, mgr of Force of Will and Captain of the Catalyst
Alliance, herefor confirms Jorja, mgr of the Middle Way 3 as a member of the
aformentioned alliance. -- Michael Eldritch, Captain of Catalyst Alliance

All -- I'll still sign last minute takers to the Catalyst Alliance if you want on
board.  Just declare and do your part, I'll confirm the turn after. -- Michael
Eldritch

Rois Anin -- Have fun on the Isle, I've got a Bloodfeud to settle. *wink* -- Earvling
Klash

Cave Canem -- Hmm, another Latin fellow.  Ya know, I don't remember much before
Nefelheim, but something about Romans bothers me.  Are you Romans? -- Rime

Just in time to carve a name for myself I see... -- Idalia, 4th member of Force of
Will

alliance captained by Dark Angel of Black Lightning. -- Shade, mgr of Lost Honor

Barney Bear -- That was a nice warm up before the TW!  Actually didn't expect to get
the win, so don't know how I feel about that.  But thanks for the skills! -- Juneau
Dawning

Hilroc Ibbins -- My kind of match!  Hopefully we can do that again. -- Talkeetna

Donovan -- I guess you were playing possum that first minute, cuz you were kind of
gangbusters in the second!  Nice win, but I'll take those learns anyday! -- Eureka
Pride

Poke -- That was a little harder than a poke!  Just saying...! -- Yukon Quest

Hear ye! Hear ye!  This is to announce that the champion for our Turf War team will
be IDITAROD TRAIL (7083)! -- Storm Lord, mgr. Alaskan Pipeline

All -- New Vengeance is declaring its alliance with Torpunz Alliance captained by
Dark Angel of Black Lightening in the Turf Wars. -- Arkane, mgr New Vengeance

Suicide Blind -- Well named.  Just because we have the same number of wins doesn't
mean I'm easy, you know.  I figure I've got all the experience of losing I need, time
to work on the winning stuff. -- Velma Xavil

Endemic -- Ah, the Commission and their stupid jokes!  This one about "Shewish
midgets" was old ten years ago.  Good fight, though. -- Nin Quire

Talkeetna -- Brought your weather with you, eh?  I can't say I warm to it. -- Hilroc
Ibbins
P.S.  Or to being made look like an idiot on the sands.  Not that this is a false
appearance, necessarily, but I'd rather have kept it discretely veiled.

Witch Doctor -- Many puns occur to me--when you write as many personals as we do,
puns and plays on words are the straws we often grasp at--but I'll just say, Good
fight. -- Tulain Vorl
P.S.  And you can play doctor with me any time.

Bloodflicker -- Some kind of woodpecker? -- Tia Relwan

Basket -- Oh, let's not. -- Nin Quire

Our congratulations to graduate Rois Anin. -- Jorja and the Middle Way

All -- Team The Bizzarr declers it alliance with team Torpunz captianed by Dark angel
of Black lightning in the Turf Wars, -- Luudo, mgr The Bizzarr

                        WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!

Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 14-16, 2011.  It will be 
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-894-7444), the same hotel as 
last year by popular request.  Room rates are $129.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which 
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception (yes, really!), free 
airport shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet.  There's a fitness center, 
jacuzzi, and pool.  The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 22 
before the block is released!  (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been
unable to book rooms because they waited too long.)  Look for the tournament info 
sheet and minioverviews some time in December.  We hope you're all looking forward to 
it and that we will see you there!
