                                RUMOR OF A TURF WAR

A quick update on the Turf War status, as it will be upon us quickly.  That Feb turn
here in Mamboland (&!*# - hate that name!) is not far away at all.
     Have I received any certs yet?  (as of Nov 22) Yes, but only three--The Chosen
One (Amerkin Injuns), Kharadmon (Garbage Pail Kids), and Oz (Land Of Oz).  Perhaps
Master Darque has some more?  It simplifies things if they are all sent to one
location--so have Sandy to direct them to me.  (Oz or any of The Consortium)
     A very good question was asked the other day.  "What is a cert?"  For those of
you who have never procured one from RSI, a ROLLUP CERT is a certificate for a team
rollup.  It costs the same as an extra rollup (5 bucks) but instead of having 5
warriors on it, it is a certificate allowing the owner one team rollup.
     Rumor has it there will be quite a few teams.  Through rumors and comments and
quotes and chatzies, etc, etc, here is what I know so far, or think I know so far.

Assur (Capt), OAB, Otis The Drunk, Kharadmon
Master Darque (Capt), Madwand, Otto X, Bubbaganoosh
Crip, Mannequin, Slugbait, OZ
DDarkheart, Spirit, TCO, Var
Khisanth, La Guillotine, Le Pentarque, ?
Master Fox (Capt), Captain Umbra, ?, ?
Amerkun Injuns, ?,?,?

                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Yeah!  Yeah!  Yeah!  Har, DING DONG the wicked witch be daid!  I done tooked her
castle and got me Duelmaster.  Yay!  Fought ole Norm who be norm but I ding donged
and he was down!  Yup.  DING DONG that old witch be down!  Champeen ME!  Gonna find
me a bluebird what gonna sing me a song!  Oh, yeah!
     Cum 'n git me cuz I wanna ring yer bell!  Yessireebob!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day, 
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again!  Nothing is certain in MAMBOLAND, with changing 
loyalties, changing Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--DEAD GAWDS.  He who 
laughs last didn't get the joke.  Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe LUROCIAN 
DEVILS.  Last week they got 0-0-0 to drop by 9!  What's a move up by 9 you ask?  
(alright, maybe you didn't ask)  Cause for celebration, according to GARBAGE PAIL 
KIDS.  CHEERS had cause to celebrate, after NORM got 30 points by beating SKY PILOT.  
A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 15 
points to REBECCA.  (Discrete enough, DEATH?) The arena was more crowded than usual 
this time, as JACK B. NIMBLE faced MAMBOLAND's Duelmaster.  What can be a greater 
victory?  JACK B. NIMBLE has taken his place as the top, as MAMBOLAND's new 
Duelmaster.  Word has it one team in MAMBOLAND is using psychics to predict wins.  
They lead a charmed life!   
     A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn?  And do not the 
little birds cry out?'  Any ideas?  To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in BAAL'S 
MINIONS are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No need to avoid 'em.  Like a pup 
with its tail between its legs, ROYAL FLUSH scurried away from BAAL'S MINIONS.  Oh, 
the shame!  If challenges were horses, CRAPULODON could open up a fast food joint!   
     Is there life after death?  Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after 
life!  Those who owe NORTON of SECOND BANANAS money and had written him off, take 
note:  he'S BACK FROM THE DARK ARENA!!!  AND he'S MAD!!!  WHOPPER in the Dark Arena 
wasn't enough for YELLOW BRICK of LAND OF OZ.  Maybe that certain serving girl(?) at 
The Dripping Blade will be!  Hey SIFU MONKS!  Is there some deep dark, unmentionable 
secret as to why JACKIE CHAN has been sent to the Dark Arena?   2-0-0 isn't so 
shabby!  You've heard about RACHAEL MADDOW of MSNBC.  Death plays no favorites, and 
neither do I.  What was a 10-11-0 doing on the fields in the first place?  The 
audience gave a nice round of rasberries to WHAT'D I SAY of OBG!, for expiring in 
such an ungraceful fashion.  6-13-1, indeed!  The warriors at OBG! stable were more 
sober than usual, after SKY PILOT's demise at the hands of NORM.  NORM, don't make 
any long term plans!  Congratulations, VENOMOUS CLEMENTINE.  The manager of HORNY 
GOAT X should have sent MILK STOUT to the Dark Arena for having a 4-4-0 long ago.  Oh 
hard!  that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!   
     Leave me now, you base fools!  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my 
control, I must take my leave of this place.  Can anything compare to the pleasure of 
writing Spyreports for MAMBOLAND?  On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny 
Vir

I am amazed!  My very own Ding Ding won the Duelmaster crown.  I would have told you
he was too much of a ding dong to be a champion.  Really.  And I was just plain
wrong. -- Oz The All Amazed and All Wrong

Broken Sky -- I roared at all the right times and got you in that broken spot of
yours.  I am the king! -- Lion

Flesh Hunter -- Too much metal, not enough flesh.  Too much dinging and not enough
clanging.  Too much whiff and not enough whack!  In other words, I salute your win
and abhor my loss. -- Yellow Brick (crumbling rapidly)

Yellow Brick -- I sort of abhor your loss, too.  It WAS your challenge. -- Oz The All
Disappointed

Khisanth -- You and your dead TC can go stinger sticking.  Go penetrate some Mambos!
(And kudos.) -- Oz The All Praising

The Turf War cometh.  The Turf War Cometh! -- Oz The All Excited

Rachael Maddow -- I guess you are significantly more annoying on TV than on the
sands. -- Chicken A La King

Captain Peachfuzz -- I move a little slower than your facial hair apparently. -- Ten
Trick's Ex

Volund -- There's very few here that I can look up to, but you are definitely one of
them. -- Queen of The South

Brave New Rodent -- Encore!!!!  Encore!!!! -- Jack B. Nimble

The Inner Circle is joining the fray by entering in Turf Wars!  I will captain the TW
team Inner Circle (creative aren't we?) and run the team Spectral Steel.  Other Inner
Circle members joining the party are Spirit, running the team Fred Is Dead (until it
gets renamed in Jan), and The Chosen One, running his team A'merkin Injuns.  To round
out the squad we are happy to announce our guest team member, Var.  He will bring his
stable, Baal's Minions. -- Dameon Darkheart

Ecomoral Tinker -- That was quite a feat, killing something that was already dead! --
(Ghost of?) Ghastly Guard

Chuck Norris -- SHREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIK! -- Battle Banshee

All -- This is Var, mgr of Baal's Minions.  I will be participating in the upcoming
TW on the Inner Circle's team.

Tolbins -- Sorry about that.  I was mad over my name.  Should have been Jin, not Jim.
Maybe I need anger management? -- Jim

Staff of Life -- Hey, gringo.  Chew nee to 'ave yer fighters work out a leetle more.
Ees arms were very puny!  Ay ay ay! -- Samurayayay Mex

7 non-DA kills in the last two turns?!  That's quite a bit of blood on the sands.
Perhaps we should crank ot down a notch? -- Master Fox

     Or the city will be utterly destroyed.  All the best spy reporters say so.

TW Competitors -- Inner Circle has a correction.  Spirit's team is in fact called
D.A. Rejects.  Sorry for any confusion. -- D. Darkheart, Inner Circle team captain.

All -- I'm looking for an alliance to enter with for Turf War IX.  Send diplo. --
Tukoh, mgr Sifu Monks

Consortium -- I would like to declare myself Captain of the returning Turf War Champs
Team M*MBO!  I declare my team DARQUE FORCES for the festivities, as well as Otto X
and his team OTTODROME TW, Madwand and his FAST FOOD team, and last but certainly not
least, Bubbaganoosh and his team BUBBA'S CLAM SHACK. -- Master Darque, El Capitano of
M*MBO

Dark Warlock -- We should get a prize for dying in the dead tourney! -- The Sage Ward
