        TURF WAR 9 (TWIX) is less than four weeks away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     You'd just better get your team declarations, captain declarations and personal
declarations (along with those certs--TWO CERTS!) in NOW.  It is already mighty late.
If they are not already posted, or are not in the next newsletter when Oz and Master
Darque receive the advance copy on Feb 10ish--you are declared a dingleberry and your
score and alliance score will be impacted negatively.  It WILL SUCK!  Can you imagine
a sucking dingleberry?!  Not pretty.  Not one bit.

Duelmaster of North Fork

                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
MAMBOLAND.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  We 
now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  TOLBINS HIVE A now holds 
the crown and they are betting they can keep it.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of 
armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is NUKE TEST, who swept up 14 places in the 
ranks.  Take a look at D.A. REJECTS' act, as they have a 2-1-0 week and gain 11 
places in the team ranking.  Hey everybody, watch out for BIKINI ATOLL, who flew up 
20 points in the rankings after mashing JENNA like a melon.  Keep your eye on this 
beast.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was JENNA, who dropped 16 points 
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with BIKINI ATOLL.  Well here's a 
duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'!  JACK B. NIMBLE made a 
challenge against BRAVE NEW RODENT this week.  Going for the gusto and coming up with 
aught but bloody knuckles was BASH BROS PARK's BRAVE NEW RODENT, who was turned away 
from the Duelmastership by JACK B. NIMBLE.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 
gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the MAMBOLAND arena.  Here's 
a song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad BAAL'S MINIONS?   Big bad BAAL'S 
MINIONS.  Big bad BAAL'S MINIONS.  MAMBOLAND's afraid of the big bad BAAL'S MINIONS.  
Tra la la la la!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  BAAL'S MINIONS + 
Weapons That go Boom = LAND OF OZ + Avoid City.  Well dang howdy, but if challenges 
were votes, ICE WIND would be president.  Although it may be a contest he doesn't 
want to win.   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  NORTON defied all odds and slew 
CASTLE THUNDER in the Dark Arena.  The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as 
CASTLE THUNDER's meat is notoriously tough.  In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?' 
category, BOMBULOID was mashed by VOLUND, who let BOMBULOID know that killing members 
of JOMSVIKINGS is a no-no.  Knowing when to use the right tactics at the proper time 
is a very important step on the road to Duelmaster.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in MAMBOLAND have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some 
tracks.  And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), 
oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Haha!  It takes two hands to handle a whopper, but I only needed one!  Dead DA
Whopper!  Yes!  Old Oz wanted to DA me, but I sure fooled him! -- Yellow Brick (the
foundation of The Land Of Oz)

Jack B. Nimble flushed me.  He is a more deserving Duelmaster.  He is also a
gloryhound alliance mate! -- Ding Dong

Chuck Todd -- You sneaky misreporter!  How can you stomach to spout all that
inaccurate fluff stuff?  And then to dare come and dirty up my Castle?  Dirt ball! --
Oz The All Angered

Tsar Bomba -- I defused you.  It was fun. -- Emerald City

Me?  I am patiently waiting for The face.  Oz says I get to fight there.  Later... --

Beware The Desolation of SMOC! -- Oz The All Excited

Teams!  Declarations!  Certs!  Teams!  Declarations!  Certs!  Teams!  Declarations!
Certs!  Teams!  Declarations!  Certs!  Get it? -- Oz The All Worried

Health.  Humility.  Honor.
Happy New Year to all.
     Oz and Consortiumites everywhere

I'm back for some bums kicking!  I will join the awesome new team KGGP captained by
La Guillotine, with Khisanth and Grimm.  My Champion will be little old Yorl.  Merry
Christmas... -- Le Pentarque

Khisanth and his Serpents will be joining "Kick Your Bums In" along with Grimm, La
Guillotine, and Le Pentarchie for the coming Turf Wars! -- Khisanth

I am declarion LION, however cowardly he is, as my Champion for TW9. -- Oz The All
Hopeful

All -- I hope to read LOTS of declarations of teams this turn. -- Oz The All
Expectant

I declare my Turf War champion to be, Apple Cider Hider. -- slugbait

Oz the All-Mentoring -- Thanks for the management info.  Now the arena has you to
thank for my (hopeful) production increase (AKA whupins). -- Master Fox

Ecomoral Tinker -- I guess you don't like getting hit in the forehead! -- Jim

Spectral Steel -- Valkyrie Vampire needs a stake through the heart! -- Master Fox

I'm excited about the Turf Wars... TO VICTORY! -- Master Fox

I, Mannequin, do hereby declare myself to be a member of the team, Desolation of
SMOC.  Second Bananas do hereby name Tobias Funke to be their rightful champion. --
Mannequin

Norton -- Aren't you dead yet? -- Mannequin, your (hopefully) ex-manager

Mamboland -- I would like to declare my team Gas Monkey will be a member of DOS in
the upcoming Turf War. -- Stillgard

Let it known that I, The Chosen One, (mgr. of A'merkin Injuns) am announcing my
intention to join the Turf Wars with the Inner Circle.  Thank you.

The Inner Circle Turf Wars team once again acknowledges The Chosen One and his
A'merkin Injuns as a member of our team, joining myself, Var, and Spirit. -- Dameon
Darkheart, Inner Circle Captain.

After a dissapointing showing in the last turf war, Oz, Mannequin and Slugbait
decided to recruit Crip back into the fellowship that had won previous Turf Wars.
However, the Tolkienesque identity of the alliance has ebbed and flowed with the
tides of change, including the Fellowship of the SCOMSSS, and return of the SCOMS and
a victorious COMPP squad.  However, the last edition of OFLB didn't seem to cut the
mustard, so I've agreed to return to lead this small band of heroes from the shire.
The first step will be to return to our Tolkienesque origins and identify our Turf
War team as "The Desolation of SMOC".  Slugbait (Mystic Orc Feast), Mannequin (Second
Bananas) and Oz (Land of Oz) will be kept under a short leash by the team captain
Crip, at least until after 2nd breakfast. -- Crip, Mgr of Royal Flush
