TEAM SPOTLIGHT
The bar was quiet and warm, a steady snow drifted down lazily outside, while a
pleasant and walcome fire crackled in the fireplace. All in all, the place was the
very picture of cozy tranquility, minus Skaven of Obsidian Order and Lucifer of
Devil's Rejects, both battered and bruised after a long brutal bar-room brawl.
Both Skaven and Lucifer now manned brooms, sweeping up the scattered and broken
wreckage of what were beer steins, bottles, and bar stools.
The barmaid stood and listened while writing, in two separate columns, all the
items Skaven and Lucifer destroyed. The two bills would be expensive indeed.
Alone with the barmaid, Glitter Boy sat atop the bar, chatting idly, slowly
kicking his legs and sipping a steaming mug of apple cider. Now and then the barmaid
would laugh loudly at one of his jokes.
Off in a corner, playing solitaire at an empty table, sat Vae Victus, manager of
In Qeternum and captain of the alliance Club Fed. Vae sipped from a mug of beer,
turned a card, and swore. He wasn't losing the game, but he was rather upset at the
erstwhile wayward waif of a companion, Glitter Boy. Glitter was responsible for the
fight, after all. But, to be honest, Vae wasn't upset about the fight--that was
amusing--he was mad at Glitter Boy because he had wandered in during the fight as
though he owned the joint, walked right up to the very pretty barmaid that Vae was
trying to sweet talk, and stole her away! And now, NOW, there sat Glitter and the
barmaid, chatting away like life-long friends! The nerve! The gall! The audacity!
Why did Glitter get all the girls? Was it because he's pretty? Was it because
Glitter was ten years younger than the next youngest in Club Fed? Vae didn't know!
But honestly, Vae thought, a manager should be an angry, sword-toting, meat-
eating, ruthless barbaric neanderthal! Not some fashion-conscious, pretty... BOY!...
who was more likely to snap his fingers at you and slash you with scathing words and
witty remarks than to actually do anything manly... like fight! Although, those
witty remarks did cut quite deep....
Even if Vae wanted to fight Glitter Boy, just to show him the error of his ways,
he knew that wouldn't be wise. Not because Glitter would win, but because Glitter's
forty-seven friends would show up out of the blue to fight for him and proceed to
gleefully stomp Vae's guts out so that Glitter wouldn't break a nail. That's how
Glitter did business.
And just to rub a little salt into that wound, all of those people would be
pretty boys as well. That's just not manly or proper!
Furthermore, a manly manager should bathe only when he HAS to, not because he
WANTS to! And to run around, bathing DAILY, AND smelling good, that's an
abomination. Period.
But, by far the worst part of it all, was the fact that not only were Glitter
Boy's "gladiators" fighting, they were winning! In fact, Glitter's team was the only
team in Club Fed that was scoring more wins than losses.
Lucifer's team was obviously so shamed that they flat refused to fight! Vae
Victus' and Skaven's teams were collapsing under endless and brutally effective
onslaughts. And then along comes Glitter Boy with his merry collection of runway
underwear models he calls gladiators, and racks up victory after victory and makes it
look effortless!
And that made Vae Victus want to cry....
In a fit of rage, Vae stood up and threw his mug against the wall, where it
shattered explosively.
The barmaid, still chattering away with the roguishly beautiful Glitter Boy,
simply began a third column for Vae Victus.
Vae wailed in frustration.

SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly NORTH FORK games. Former top team FAST FOOD was
unseated this week as OBG! moved up from 19th ranking to take the top spot with a
4-1-2 record for the round. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of OBG!.
How else weeks like this one's 4-1-2? How else the sudden move to 1st team? The
proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with I HATE THEM's team record! A
5-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 3rd place ranking. My tutors were fond of
telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall. This week ROYAL FLUSH went
1-2-0 and fell 12 notches into 22nd! My praise to SECOND BANANAS for their 4-1-0
week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice!
SOUTH SPOON caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully
bested EMERALD and was awarded 29 points in recognition. In one of the week's more
notable duels, CHICKEN A LA KING put down EXPOSED, causing him to lose 14 points of
recognition in the process. Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne,
FROSTY has lost the title of Duelmaster. This time victory fell to the grasp of the
usurper. All hail SOUTH SPOON, Duelmaster of NORTH FORK! Informants "close" to the
city champion have told me that he never fights without pantyhose on beneath his
armor. Watch out!
Many and various are the arts of battle. In NORTH FORK "art" is a word that has
long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat
in NORTH FORK these days is LAND OF OZ. At least, most blades in town are looking to
avoid them. Apparently the stalwarts of DARQUE FORCES are catching the bulk of jests
down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters
cannot but expect competition from those below. DING DONG take warning! You have
more than a few enemies in NORTH FORK. As a gladiator gets older, the icy grip of
fear lays hold of his heart. True, RAVAGE? Who could miss your "brave" challenge of
PRACTICAL GENE? Surprising everyone, PRACTICAL GENE subdued RAVAGE, earning 21
points of recognition in the process! A knave's just desserts are the sweetest
victory. I can not but mention with disdain the name of LATKA who this week posted a
challenge to a warrior a full 14 points below in the rankings. I thought LATKA
showed great skill and promise when he defeated BLIZZARD. All right, so I slept
through it! Big deal!
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. My sources at MSNBC stable claim they've
never seen the guild bitterer. This as a result of the untimely demise of REV AL
SHARPTON. Beware ROOT WIZARD! Perhaps even the strong cannot escape the vagaries of
this world. This week arena veteran EMERALD was slain, despite a 12-6-0 record.
Cruelly, BLITZWING of DARQUE FORCES has slain the lesser ranked WARTHOG. Word
already flies around town that GLORY DISCIPLES plans a bloodfeud! Walk proud,
warriors of DARQUE FORCES! By striking down WARTHOG you have avenged the honor of
your dead. Your virtue is known to all in NORTH FORK. Dark alleys may hide both
secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep
vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in NORTH FORK. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the
spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember -
the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp

Hot Flash! The Face-to-Face Tourney will be in the 18th, 19th, and 20th of this
month. Get your strategies in by the 17th, please and thank you.
Deputy Fife -- Not fair, you hit me to hard and hurt my feelings. -- Fly pizza pie
Para -- That is what happens when you let your HDL get to high. -- Cholesterol
Slug -- I believe the chatzy color for slugbait is orange. -- Dead bull
Wreckless -- Don't believe the rematch will go my way. But I'll put on a show either
way. -- Magic
Congratulations to Frosty, a cold, cold, Duelmaster. (And shucks to us!) -- Oz the
All Jealous
Ultima Regum -- Nothing personal to In Qeternum, but this is FUN! -- Emerald
Hornet -- It was my own fault for being greedy. Salute. -- Yellow Brick
Rachel Maddow -- Your cheap challenge sucks more than your politics. -- Zeke
Ham Burglar -- That was a meaty mean thing to do! -- Fence
The Creepster -- Hah! Gotcha, ya traitor! -- Ding Dong
Remember, tournament points no longer count! See the spotlight for more details. --
Oz the All Saddened
Happy New Year and Happy Face to all. See you there in the new year. -- Oz and the
Land of Ozers
Yellow Brick -- On the contrary, my swamp-dwelling friend, I believe you CAN sting a
brick! -- Hornet, RMW Pink!
Root Wizard -- That was a nice sword, too.... -- Lonely Trucher
Petit Jardinia -- That was an excellent duel. I thought I had you when I broke your
weapon. Unfortunately, you had a backup and hit too hard. -- Drago Kazov
All -- Feed me more!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Gluttony
Brave New Rodent -- You were indeed very brave to enter the arena against me. Brave
but not Wise at all. -- Khan
Master Darque -- We at Obsidian Order send our condolences for the loss of Grimlock.
He was a new warrior that never got to truely enjoy his time in North Fork. We hope
you find satisfaction in your search for justice in your Bloodfeud. -- Skaven
Norm -- Take that you no good... Oh, he's on my team. Whoops. My bad. -- No

ability to find any exposed body part! -- Ice Wind
Khan! -- You Bloodsucker! -- Brave New Rodent
Smoking Clover -- Probably better than sticks. Definitely better than stones. --
Sticks and Stones
Oh, the pain! We managed to squander a lead and let M*MBO share in the first half
top spot. M*MBO, meanwhile, is playing the dark arena gamble, and it is paying big
dividends. Forty points for two dark arena wins. Will they make it 60 this turn?
Or will they play it safe? I know most of us are hoping for a heat wave this turn!
-- Assur
For all those that have been writing spotlights, I applaud your writings! You may
not get points in the TW contest for them, but you get points in my book! Thanks,
one and all! -- Assur
With the ability to get negative points, LBA+ could reach for either side of the
spectrum... Perhaps if we can't get first place because M*MBO is cheating the rules,
we could reach for the cellar! -- Assur

AVOIDS, BLOODFEUDS, & CHALLENGES
by Pagan
Ever wonder how the whole challenge/avoid thing works?
Who you fight depends on exactly how it works. We will never know exactly how it
works unless we can get a look at the coding for the program, but this is how I think
it works:
The Situation:
The system allows a warrior to make two separate challenges and two distinct
avoids.
Avoids are distinct in that they MUST indicate a specific team to be avoided, so
a "double avoid" indicates a single team twice, which by default means you are
avoiding one team. In this case, the second avoid is a duplicate and therefore a
waste of an avoid.
Challenges are to specific warriors. You have a first challenge, and then you
have a second challenge.
The Process:
First the computer removes all Dark Arena challengers from the list of available
warriors.
Second, the computer checks for WHO fights WHO by going though all TVs and
bloodfeuds, which are 100% sure to go through except in four instances:
1. the warrior challenged does not fight,
2. the warrior challenged is also making a bloodfeud or TV challenge and that
challenge has already been assigned,
3. the warrior has already been assigned to a Dark Arena fight,
4. that warrior has declared your team to be one of his warrior's avoids,
reducing your challenge to 50%.
Third, the computer assesses all the regular first-challenge warriors and assigns
fights. All other challenges are at 100% chance of success except in a few instances:
warrior challenged is going to the DA, warrior challenged is involved in a previously
assigned challenge, warrior challenged is not running this turn, or warrior challenged
has avoided your team at 50% chance to avoid.
Fourth, the computer assesses and assigns all secondary challenges of warriors
not so far assigned for bloodfeuds and TVs.
Fifth, the computer assesses and assigns all the regular second challenges.
Sixth, the computer assigns random matchups in each available class starting with
the highest class first.
Seventh, the computer finds the remaining warriors that have successfully avoided
all first and second challenges and/or who also did not get randomly assigned, AND for
whom no more available warriors remain in their class for random pairing. All of
these warriors get RSI-generated warriors to fight based on their class.
So, if I'm right and avoids reduce the chance for a challenge to 50%, then:
In the absence of an avoid
single challenge = 100% success
double challenge = 100% success, then an additional 100% success
Where an avoid is involved
single challenge vs avoid = 50% success
double challenge vs avoid = 75% (chance to avoid is 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25; 1 -
0.25 = 75% chance to succeed
Bloodfeuds and TVs may increase the percentage chance of success above 100%, or
they may not. I feel that their increased ability to get through is based solely on
the way the computer assigns challenges. They are first, so they are most likely to
go through. The 100% chance for a challenge to succeed is 100% if it's a TV bloodfeud
and you are the first one to get assigned a fight that day because you are also the
Duelmaster. But after that the chances start to diminish rapidly.
The run-through for second challenges theoretically means your challenge should
be 100% but it's not the case if you are the LAST guy the computer goes to for finding
challenges.
If you don't double challenge, you significantly lower your chance to get your
challenge through. The second challenge is not equal to the first challenge.
