                             Notes from the arena champ.

Database Editor -- I'm sure with your enormous ego that you couldn't wait to turn to 
the DM column to see what clever things I had to say about you.  We both know the 
truth; I knocked you out with one punch.  I could've pulled my backup weapon, but no.  
That would have been too easy.  A simple roundhouse punch was so much more satisfying.  
I wonder what vitriol you will spray at me in the personal ads.  At the next Change-O-
Rama, perhaps the Powers That Be should consider changing your moniker to Database 
Corruptor.  Or simply, Corruption.  
     Well North Fork, if I understand the process correctly, at this point I have only 
7 Political Points.  That means potentially 2 more turns as your Duelmaster before 
moving on Immortality.  Perhaps I shall see you again -- here -- in this very spot in 
28 days. 

                                          -- Busted Aces
                                             Duelmaster, Pugilist

                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last 
week's fights.  It was a tough week for BIG IDEA, to drop 8 places in the rankings.  
Coming up with a solid 3-1-0 outing, DARQUE FORCES has advanced 6 places in the 
rankings.  Advancing in the rankings was ROYAL FLUSH who went from last turn's 
931-746-48, to this week's record of 936-746-48.  Hey everybody, watch out for QUEEN 
LATIFAH, who flew up 23 points in the rankings after mashing GLADIUS like a melon.  
Keep your eye on this gal.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the 
sands.  GLADIUS was subdued by QUEEN LATIFAH and drops 17 points.  The most 
challenged warrior this week was BUSTED ACES.  If this keeps up, our Duelmaster's 
going to need more avoids!  JACK B. QUICK got through to the Duelmaster this turn.  
No doubt he was more than anxious to kick BUSTED ACES' tail out of the throne!  It's 
a proud day for the ROYAL FLUSH stable, as their warrior, JACK B. QUICK, ascended the 
Duelmaster's throne.  An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps 
T.P.s at bay.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid WHITE WOLVES, please raise you hand.  
Wow.  Does NORTH FORK really have that many liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but 
catch ROYAL FLUSH's act in the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at 
running from WHITE WOLVES.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  It's not often when you see a 10-4-0 
warrior like SEX (I'M A) kick the bucket.  I wonder if 80'S DISCO will recover from 
the blow.  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 NORTH FORK have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  See ya 
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

No, of course the A.A. couldn't/didn't win the Turf Wars. How did North Fork get its 
sordid name? Well, the rumor (meaning unconfirmed but believable and likely accurate) 
is that the AA gathered their clan, robbed a little old lady's dry cleaner service in 
North Central Podunk, and got enough coins to buy the title name from the winners. A 
sad day in North Fork, but, then anything attached to the AA is sad. -- Oz The All

                        FIRST INAUGURAL ARVAT CONTEST SUPREME

Who can join?  Anyone with a team in Arvat as of 2/1/2018.

When does it start?  First turn due after 2/1/2018.

How long does it run? 13 turns.

How do I join?  Announce your manager name and team name in the Arvat newsletter prior 
to 2/1/2017 and state that you are entering the contest.  Prior to the contest 
actually starting you need to have 2 rollup certs sent to the Dark One care of RSI.

How do I win the contest? The team which has accrued the most points as of the end of 
the 13th turn is the winner.  The team which has the 2nd most points is declared the 
runner up.  And the team which has the 3rd most points is declared honorable 
contender.  Everyone else is a loser and should be ridiculed.

How do I score points?

1)  Every challenge you win vs. another team in the contest = 10 points, as long as 
    that challenge is to a warrior equal to or above yours in the rankings.  Except 
    for the Duelmaster who can challenge anyone he wants.

2)  You also earn bonus points for every challenge won.  For every point of 
    recognition your target is ranked above you, you earn one bonus point.  This is 
    for challenges only.

3)  If you are challenged by a warrior below you and defeat him, you will gain 5 
    points.

4)  Also every random matchup against a contest team that you win will earn you 5 
    points -- up or down.

5)  You CAN downchallenge, however you get no points for doing so, and if you are 
    beaten, your opponent will earn 10 points and the right to ridicule you in the 
    newsletter.

6)  Bloodfeud challenges count just like regular challenges during the contest.

7)  In addition there are the following bonus points that are awarded each turn:

    A)  Duelmaster earns 10 points

    B)  Graduating a warrior earns 10 points

    C)  Recognition Leader (Chartered or Unchartered) earns 5 points (if the 
        Duelmaster is the recognition leader as well, then only the DM points apply)

    D)  Popularity Leader earns 5 points

    E)  Turn's most popular earns 5 points

    F)  Top team on the move earns 5 points

    G)  Current Top team earns 10 points

    H)  Any warrior that earns a Tournament Champion in either the April Mail In or 
        July FTF tournament earns 20 points

    I)  Any warrior that earns a Tournament Victor in either of those tournaments 
        earns 10 points

    J)  Note that Top Chartered and Unchartered team awards do NOT earn points

What are the rules regarding other teams in the arena?  If you challenge any warriors 
not participating in the contest you LOSE 20 points, unless the challenged warrior is 
the Duelmaster.  If any manager has a 2nd (or 3rd) team in the arena they may NOT 
challenge any warrior of any team participating in the contest or they are 
DISQUALIFIED.

What do I win if I win this contest? 

1)  The winner wins all of the rollup certificates given as entry fee for the contest.  
    In addition, the winner gets to pick 3 of the prizes below.

2)  The runner up gets to pick 2 of the prizes below.

3)  The honorable contender gets to pick one of the prizes below.

In addition, all competitors in the contest who run all 13 turns and at least 62 total 
fights will earn 1 potion of +1 bonus, which must be used on a warrior who 
participated at least 1 fight in the contest.  

Also, the team that scores the most points on any one turn of the contest (other than 
the winner, runner up or honorable contender) can pick one prize that was NOT selected 
by those three.

Prizes:

1)  Limited stat switch (You can swap any 2 stats you want on an Arvat replacement 
    rollup that you received within the next 6 month)

2)  Extra replacements (Next time you get a replacement (or whenever you want within 6 
    months) in Arvat you can ask RSI for 5 additional replacements and select the best 
    one for your team)

3)  Limited damage bump (You can pick one warrior on your Arvat team to move up one 
    damage class -- as long as he remains in-bounds for his ST/SZ stats)

4)  Favorite weapon knowledge (You learn the favorite weapon of one of your Arvat 
    warriors -- must be on the team during the contest)

5)  Favorite rhythm knowledge (You learn the favorite offensive effort and activity 
    level of one of your Arvat warriors, who most have been on your team during the 
    contest)

6)  Shrinking potion (You get to take 3 points of size away from an Arvat replacement 
    during the next 6 months and add the 3 points to another stat -- both SZ and the 
    other stat must remain in bounds)

7)  Extra skills (Any one of your warriors in Arvat learns 3 extra skills of your 
    choice (no more than 2 can be in the same area and must be in bounds)

8)  Extra train (Any one of your Arvat warriors gets an extra stat train in the area 
    of your choice -- and must be in bounds)

9)  The Dark One's Massive Rollup prize (You get 50 team sheets, at random, from the 
    Dark One's massive pile of teams.  Most will be mediocre at best, but there are 
    plenty of decent to good warrior prospects in there!)

All prizes must be applied within 6 months from the end of the tournament, must be on 
Arvat warriors on the team that participated in the contest and must be in bounds.
