                        The Wheel of Misfortune:  Kolact DM 10

Overview

A contest for Kolact (DM 10) that runs 12 turns (starting turn 889, due 02/03/2020). 
Squads will consist of four (4) teams. One (1) team per manager. Participating 
managers may not run multiple teams in the arena during the contest.

Premise

Master Darque is fiddling with Chaos Gates again, which creates CHAOS and randomness 
during the contest. Turn 1 (Kolact turn 889) and Turn 12 (Kolact turn 900) will be 
scored using STANDARD scoring (explained below). Turns 2 through 11 will use a wide 
variety of scoring mechanisms and will be randomly determined as the contest 
progresses using a random generator. The scoring mechanisms will be posted in Kolact's 
newsletter two (2) turns in advance, as well as on the D2 website under the contest 
forums.

Entry

Entry into the contest is open to anyone who meets the following criteria:

1) Form a squad. A squad will consist of four (4) managers. No more, no less. This 
means there will be NO single manager teams. You must choose a name for your squad.

2) Each manager must declare their intention to participate in the contest BEFORE Turn 
1 of The WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE contest (No exceptions will be made). Declarations must 
include: 1) TEAM NAME, 2) MANAGER NAME, 3) PARTNERS' NAMES, and 4) SQUAD'S NAME, and 
may be submitted by any of the following means:

     a. A personal ad in DM 10
     b. A diplomatic note to Darque Ages (29) in DM 81
     c. An email to rebelnerfherder@yahoo.com with WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE in 
          the Subject Line.

**NOTE: Failure to meet this criteria by the deadline will result in NO ENTRY into the 
contest. Please be mindful of the requirements and submit them in a timely manner to 
avoid any misfortunes.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in NORTH 
FORK.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  Say 
good-bye to BIG LAKE GROOVE, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the 
EL CAMINO:HOT SAUCE stable.  Hey everybody, watch out for SHOCKWAVE, who flew up 21 
points in the rankings after mashing MEK-QUAKE like a melon.  Keep your eye on this 
guy.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was MEK-QUAKE, who dropped 16 points 
after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with SHOCKWAVE.  Drawing on all of his 
experience as a 17-15-2 warrior, MADCAP went for the Duelmastership against ACE 
MERRILL this week.  It's a proud day for the WEIRD ALCHEMY stable, as their warrior, 
MADCAP, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Advice to bashers--never force anything, 
just get a bigger halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.  Here's a song for you:  Who's afraid of the 
big, bad BIG LAKE GROOVE?  Big bad BIG LAKE GROOVE.  Big bad BIG LAKE GROOVE.  NORTH 
FORK's afraid of the big bad BIG LAKE GROOVE.  Tra la la la la!  And you guys like to 
boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause WEIRD ALCHEMY beats feet every time BIG 
LAKE GROOVE smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  And who is this KLEGG HAII you ask, 
with 104 points and a 19-18-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  For those of you who missed it, Death 
showed up, grabbed DIONEXUS by the ear and took him away to a place where he won't 
need a coat.  This round goes to WHITE WOLVES, their 12-10-1 warrior, BRUTUS slew the 
6-4-0 HOT SAUCE.  Stay tuned next week to see what happens.  Congrats to HELLHOUND 
HESTATI for revenging the death of its teammate (but more importantly, feeding 
HOSIDIUS a bit of dirt).  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and take your ally 
in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     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.  Its been 
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster
