Maybe third time is a charm and the contest info will finally get printed on time. I don't know what happened last turn, the contest info in the last newsletter was from T-217, so what I am listing this turn is T-219's. You can see the totals for T-218 in the last turn scores column. It (T-218) might also be printed along with my missing p-ads. Now on to the contest! We only have two turns left after this one. The contest ends September 11, 2006 (T-222). So let's see if anyone can overtake someone ahead of them. (grin) Good luck to all and sorry about the confusion of late with the contest spots. I am doing my best to make sure everyone knows what the deal is and to make sure it is current every turn! Toker, co-host of Q.B. #1 Place shows this turn's place first, followed by last turn's place. (TF) is for total fights in the contest to qualify for the "Stable Stamina" Award, (LT) is for last turn's score, (TT) is for this turn's score, and (TL) is for total score. Place Team/#/Mgr.

I want to thank Insolent Iris for her compliments on our organization and running of this contest. It is a lot of work at times, but I would like to let everyone know that my co-hosts and I have enjoyed it immensely and look forward to hosting the next one. If there are questions, you can contact me at: darkknighttoker@yahoo.com, p-ads, or by diplo to Silver Knights (361). I plan on leaving the list of requirements, scoring formula, and prize printed throughout the contest for easy reference. Requirements! 1) Only ONE team per manager entered in the contest. Only one active team in Fratsfa during the contest, PERIOD! 2) Only one TP on your team at a time. (If it dies, then you may replace it.) 3) You must declare (1) warrior as your team scout. Points will not be scored until a scout is declared!!! 4) You do not need (3) three warriors in the initiates class to compete. FE does not play a factor for eligibility!!!! 5) If you bloodfeud, you must use a different warrior each time to score the FB points. (If a warrior is used twice, he will only be awarded the points for the win or point subracted for the loss on the second bloodfeud. 6) You must declare your team in the p-ads to be entered. 7) A champion and scout cannot be the same warrior. 8) Champions are not required (manager's choice). Champions must be declared on their first fight of the contest! Now to the scoring formula: Wins + Kills - Losses = Base score Base score + Varient score = Total score BASE SCORE POINTS: Win = +1 pt Kill = +1 pt Loss = -1 pt VARIENT SCORE POINTS: Scout Win = +2 pts Scout Loss = -2 pts Scout death = -5 pts Champion win = +3 pts Champion loss = -3 pts Stylemaster for turn = +1 pt Most avoided team = +2 pts Successful Bloodfeud = +2 pts Failed Bloodfeud = -2 pts Let's say (A) team goes 3 - 2 - 2 = 3 wins + 2 kills - 2 losses = + 3 base score. Team (A)'s champion won (+3 pts) and is style master for the turn (1 pt). His scout lost (-2 pts) for a total turn score of +5 pts. Now, let's say team (B) goes 1 - 4 - 1 = 1 win + 1 kill - 4 losses = - 2 pts base score. His scout won (+2 pts) and the scouts win was a successful bloodfeud (+2 pts). So, the total points for this turn would be +2 pts. (There was no champion on this team.) +25 bonus points will be given to managers that submit a brief history (5 paragraph minimum) including manager alias and stable name by the contest's third turn. These points will be added to the team by T-210. **** On to the list of prizes **** 1st Place "Fratsfa's Ultimate Victor" 1) Twelve (12) Rollup gift certificates transferred to 1st place manager. 2) Renaming of Fratsfa arena for six (6) months. 3) Renaming of Dark Arena monsters: Wurmkin, Bandit Prince, and Black Orc. 4) One (1) favorite's potion. * 5) One (1) +1 bonus skill potion. ** 2nd place 1) Eight (8) rollup gift certificates transferred to 2nd place manager. 2) Renmaing of Dark Arena monsters: Dark champion and High Elf. 3) One (1) favorites potion. * 4) One (1) +1 bonus skill potion. ** 3rd Place 1) Four (4) rollup gift certificates transferred to 3rd place manager. 2) Renaming of Dark Arena monsters: Mountain Troll and Shewish Giant. 3) One (1) favorites potion. * 4) One (1) skill bonus potion. ** 4th Place 1) Three (3) gift certificates transferred to 4th place manager. 2) One (1) favorites potion * 3) Rename Dark Arena monster, Stone Golem. 5th Place 1) Two (2) Rollup certs 2) One (1) favorites potion * 3) Rename Dark Arena monster, Spy Master. 6th Place 1) One (1) rollup cert. 2) One (1) favorites potion * 7th-10th Place 1) One (1) favorite's potion * All teams who fight at least 67 of the possible 75 fights will get (1) free tournament entry for a warrior of the team that competed in Fratsfa in the first tournmanet after the completion of Fratsfa's Quest for the Best. ****NOTE**** * -- All potions must be used within (2) turns of the contest end,and on an initiate (tournament class) or higher character on the same team that competed in Fratsfa; this is non-transferrable. * (1) One favorites potion gives all faves: Rythym, tactic and weapon. ** (1) One + 1 skill bonus potion gives +1 to one skill DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. ArghDamnedBoljimoi!!!! I'm speechless. -- Aubin, celebrating the victory over Brazil!! And I must say my 19 months girl is a real cutie.... Hum, well, Aubin was sure the underdog. Yeeepeee! -- Le P(entarque) SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, FRATSFA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. If The Victory Tavern is buying drinks for ISN'T IT OBVIOUS' good turn, I'm afraid the place will be dry before long. A 4-1-0 makes for a big thirst. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for ASSASSIN NATION, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 5 into 11th. Ha! Gee, I'm impressed, a 4-1-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, BLOOD AND GUTS!, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SEVERITY win a fight and gain 24 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, SEVERITY beat KYKENSTIENBURG and KYKENSTIENBURG lost 18 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as HORRID HOLLY takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Victory Tavern, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From FRATSFA's trash dumps? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. ASSASSIN NATION, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was ODIN'S CHOSEN. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, INSOLENT IRIS was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. And we have VICIOUS in a challenge, going down 11 points for the fight. Guess what? I thought VICIOUS showed great skill and promise when he was overcame by BRAIN TUMOUR. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for FRATSFA's morgue. More variety. A big yahoo goes out to INSOLENT IRIS this turn, for revenging FLOWER GIRLS' bloodfeud against DARK RAIDERS' warrior MALICE. Heh, heh, heh. Not that I'll be buying the drinks, but I'll be glad to see ORELLEN and DIVINE DUELISTS at The Victory Tavern tonight celebrating their bloodfeud victory over STOP-GAP. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one. I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!

You won fair and square and make a fine Duelmaster. A salute to you. -- Insolent Iris and all The Flower Girls Ser Blackball -- You surely know how to use that big weapon of yours, don't you? I am still sore, but quite satisfied, you Hunk. -- Merciless Mum Black Knights -- Gee. I had no idea that guy, Ser Delarq, would keel over on me. Your manager should have insisted on a check up before he decided to romp with me. The only good thing I can report was that he finished before he died. I am sure that was a grin on his face. I really am sorry. I had hoped he would be a regular. -- Smothering Salvia Confusion -- A little pain goes a long way. I really had a great time with you. (grin) Come on over to The Flower Shoppe and let's do it again! -- Painful Pansy Brain Tumor -- I'm glad we finished before you had to get chemo. You can really go (and go and go) can't you? -- Horrid Holly Severity -- Off guard? Oh, you mean unclothed. It's more fun that way. (wink) -- Horrid Holly Le Pentarque -- Your crew did not scream loud enough, it seems? -- Lady Fern Turak -- Of course. I am always glad to examine your "many talents". Can you make it quick? (chuckle) -- Lady Fern Daishar -- I would be glad to celebrate with you. I love it when my "guests" are intimidated. Would it intimidate you more if I charged double? -- Insolent Iris (always looking for the angle) Isn't It Obvious and Max -- Welcome to Fratsfa. My gals want you. Come on over to The Flower Shoppe and have a grand old time! -- Lady Fern P.S. Tell my older (much older) brother, Curator, "hello" for me when you see him. Ack, he did it. I'm now staff-stuffed. Le Pentarque punished me for my last stupid defeat. I can barely walk now. How could I win anymore? Well, I guess I deserved it. -- Igor the stuffed Pandemic -- I love you. -- Bob The team is happy to offer a nightly rematch to Aubin with Iris. -- Le Pentarque Welcome, Max. -- Le Pentarque DK Goat -- Thanks for your messages on the name of my team, but I think you confused me with another manager.... Anyway, as you guessed, my first Blood and Guts team was running 10-10-10! -- Le Pentarque You did look ok, sexy boy.... -- Tonnelle Dark Knights -- 'Tis I Blackstorm, passing through. I'll be arriving with a team for our home arena. Probably be CHAOS KNIGHTS. I was going to pull my team from 28 but after 4 kills on their last 2 outings I have to let some feuds go through. Listen not to those of the VC, just hammer them! -- Dark Knight Blackstorm Dark Knight Goat -- You have it backwards; you'll have much more success with H/L for bashers. The team I have in 28 are all Bashers (eh Pentarque) and they are 8-2-4 on their last two outings. Aim/pro head, Dec or B. Pentarque -- Salut, mon ami. Nice to see you out this way. Can't wait to clash steel, as always!! -- Blackstorm Dark Knight Toker -- I sent you an Eagle, and a second one close behind. I forgot something. -- Dark Knight Blackstorm Max -- I see you!!! I'm coming to get you. -- Blackstorm All -- Hello to all those I know; I'll be arriving shortly to make things difficult for you. (grin) -- Dark Knight Blackstorm All -- Pelor is not afraid! -- Boris Bellows Lady Fern -- I think I'm gonna like this place! -- Tarl Possinger Turak -- Yeah, I talk trash; just not to anyone who matters! -- T. Possinger All -- These p-ads are for turn 219/220. The last ones were lost? -- Heathen Goat -- Way to represent, brother! I like that 4-1 and the loss of Ser Delarq at least gives you four BF to take advantage of! These "V"ocal "C"owards want to Bang. Let's give it to them DEA style!!! -- Dark Knight Heathen Max -- It's pretty obvious that YOU seem to be providing the easy targets. But please feel free to challenge any of this knight's warriors. So I can smash you! With your typical verbal bravado in the personals and lack of results on the sands it's also obvious that you have not grown up a bit since the early days--you should take after Jan and keep your mouth shut before I shove something in it! -- D.K. Heathen Hatebred, DEA Jan -- A little out of character for you to name a team after a Caucasoid warrior tribe--I thought you were fascinated by the Yellow Folk exclusively? I mean that both ways of course--or did you not know the Hoplites were Greek? It wouldn't surprise me with the blatant ignorance your entire alliance demonstrates! Now that I know who you are, you shall taste my blade!! -- D.K. Heathen Hatebred, DEA P.S. Are there any other cowardly VC hiding in the bushes here? If so they should speak up so I can smash them as well! Honest Merchant -- You're not honest at all--you're scum! -- Bloodeagle Max -- Bow to this. -- Bloodeagle Molypeus -- Easy win and you teach well! Thanks! -- Fylgja Aydindril -- Way to shove that bloodfeud down Ghab's throat! That will teach him to try sending a warrior with four times the FE after (supposedly for the "extra points") thinking he'll get an easy win. I guess the bad luck was all this! Well done!! -- D.K. Heathen Ghab -- With all the nonsense you spew and crying you do I would swear you're a member of the VC! Are you undercover too? -- Dark Knight Heathen Hatebred Ishara -- Cuz you were there... n' smart. -- Stop-Gap Athlete's Feet -- You stink! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha *whew* <snort> He He He. But seriously... -- Barmy Bob Absolute Grace -- Absolutely. <bow> -- Origami Ork Maximillian -- Good to see you could make it. It is a DE shooting gallery here, lol, just take your pick. I expect most of them will go inactive soon, some already have. -- Sensei Jan and Hoplites Ser Alloces -- We expected as much, with these lower class warriors you can't expect much. -- Bushsuckstoadie Pas de Quartier -- Wouldn't have expected to be outjumped, nice one. -- Whosyourdaddy Pulled Hamstring -- Oh, you must be proud of that win, sheesh! -- I'mtoosexy Azrith -- Just had to make a point you understand, I'm sure. -- Thedebowtovc Lord John Snow -- I'm sure we've matched up in a Mailer in the past. -- Maximillian Wonder who'll show up this turn. -- Maximillian *All -- Again, I don't know what happened last turn! The contest info was not printed nor did my stable run. Either Hal ate it all, or the mailman used it to wipe. All current ads will have an * by them. I do my best to keep this contest up to par and appreciate everyone's understanding. I also have a question for everyone that will need to be answered right away. Minimum fights for placing was never established, however, I personally do not feel that stables who only fought a turn or two should qualify for prizes. I will insert a rule for the next quest that will state a given amount of fights to qualify for prizes. Please give me all your opinions on this. I truly want to do the right thing. Thanx! -- Toker, co-host D.K. Goat -- Roll-up on the way! Waiting on you in 31 as is everyone else. Looks as if the curse has been lifted. Nice turn. -- Dark Knight Toker Max -- Are the V.C. bullets blanks? -- Dark Knight Toker, Desolate Empire Lady Fern -- No more seducing me. I need to focus! What? One more time, uh...OK! -- D.K. Toker D.K. Osiris -- Flower Girls and the Lovely Lady Fern are handling business. We need to also! You know what I mean. (wink) -- D.K. Toker Flower Girls and Lady Fern -- Congrats on the take over of top team. You truly deserve it! -- Dark Knight Toker 20 June 2006 Dark Knights of the Desolate Empire Our newest Dark Knight disrespected?!?!?! ARE THEY SERIOUS?!?! If at all possible, let's get over to 31. I'm on the way. Let's get 'em. -- Dark Knight Osiris 26 June 2006 To those interested, G.E.C.K.O., Inc, is looking for able-bodied warriors to embark on a dangerous mission.

All interested parties can diplo me in arena 93 -- Noblish Island, c/o Will-O-Wisps (1422) or write to me at -- Robert Bennett, 317173, 4269 West M-80, Kincheloe, Mi 49784. -- the Lightbearer, mgr. Will-O-Wisps 1 July 2006 BROTHER KNIGHTS OF THE DESOLATE EMPIRE -- Hail brothers where ever you are to be found! We are engaging in arena 31. Let them feel our wrath. Onward to glory!!! -- Dark knight Blackstorm 1 July 2006 Soultaker -- Read your e-mail! -- Guardian 10 July 2006 The Dark Knights sat at the Dark Table with grim faces. All present knew that there could be no quarter. The Forces of Desolation would be unleashed. There would be no turning back, no mercy and no hesitation to do what was necessary. Teeth gritted and knuckles whitened with fury as the IMPERIAL PROCLAMATION was signed by each Dark Knight. AS OF JULY 1, 2006 -- WAR IS DECLARED ON THE ALLIANCE KNOWN AS THE VENDETTA CARTEL. The Desolate Empire -- Dark Knights: Ancient Creep, Blackstorm, Dok Sik, Goat, Heathen, Hatebred, Kon, Osiris, Toker, Wasby the Great 14 July 2006 In response to the Desolate Empire's declaration of war, the Vendetta Cartel offers the following response: The members of the Vendetta Cartel can be found in 1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 22, 25, 28, 31, 39, 45, 47, 50, 52, 54, 59, 60, 100, and 106.

You may come to our home arenas (8, 31, and 47) and confront us, but we suggest you learn to win in your own "home" arena (52) first.
