TEAM SPOTLIGHT
<)]H[(> + -----:----- + <)] ***** [(> + -----:----- + <)]H[(>
Allow me to take a quick moment to correct a typo I made. I believe I stated
Richard and William must have been proud.... That should have of course read William
and Walter must have been proud.
I wanted to take this opportunity also to update everyone on what is going on
with the real life side of Rich's unfortunate passing. I did, again, search myself
to decide how much of the info to relinquish and decided that the best thing to do is
to let everyone know as much as I do as to the ongoing trial (I'm following it in the
local news basically) as everyone has shown tremendous respect and sadness at his
passing. The nature of this act is becoming ever more senseless as the news articles
trickle out. These are the key points in the latest article I have found to date on
the matter:
One of two men accused in a two-month crime spree last fall that included two
slayings and a carjacking admitted his involvement to police but blamed his partner
for much of what happened.
Theron Peters told police that co-defendant Tecumseh Colbert fatally shot a
clerk at a liquor store in Point Loma Heights when the man made fun of a Halloween
mask Colbert was wearing as a disguise, San Diego police Detective Jana Beard
testified in Superior Court yesterday.
Peters said Colbert complained after the November shooting that "the guy thought
I was a joke. He laughed at me. He said, 'Ha, ha, ha ... funny mask,' and I shot
him," the detective testified.
Beard said Peters told police that the Nov. 10 shooting of Richard Hammes at
Prime Market Liquors on Voltaire Street was unplanned.
The detective said Peters told police that Colbert complained that he was broke
and wanted to rob the liquor stored because his girlfriend was pestering him for
money.
As a side note they are considering seeking the "special circumstances", in
addition to life in prison, law that allows them to ask for the death penalty in the
case. I know there will be divided opinions amongst us all on that particular issue
so I ask that you take this merely as an update of where things stand and not as my
personal stance, in any way, on what I think should occur.
On to a lighter note. I truly appreciate everyone's participation in helping
bring Rich's contest to life. I need to take this opportunity to thank !ll kid k for
helping to make it happen, even if he still harbors ill will for the way everything
went down he was a big part in "bumping" this thing forward when I hit that "certain
brick wall"!
I don't want to go on too long at this point so I'll just get right to the
scoring from round 1. It will be listed in the following format: (WINS-LOSSES-KILLS-
KILLED SCORE), this turn personal ads were not scored but kept as a tie breaker in
case. The reason being my spotlight due to come out in the May newsletter did not
print, it reminded everyone to make sure their personals came from a warrior to get
the point and some people did send personals but NOT from a warrior, so confusion did
appear to occur. Obviously next turn there will need to be a second section that
will cover the past turn's score and the current standings, and after turn 6 I will
add a third to update the turn 6-10 scoring for the second 4 RU certs from "The
Consortium Prize Pack"! As we get deeper I will also list the cumulative kills that
will earn some lucky team another 4 RU certs from The Consortium!

Again make sure those personals come from a warrior to get the point, a team or
manager personal is appreciated but does not count. As you see mine were eaten by
HAL so I'm going to go the safe route and send in by hand and email to be safe. Hope
those who are trailing early hang in there, ANYTHING can happen. You never know when
the leaders are going to take their -5 point turn to equalize your bad turn. ;-)
Again thanks and be well!

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail and Well Met!
The one bright spot for Gryffindor House this last turn was me capturing the
Duelmaster title on our first turn in this fine arena. I would like to thank Street
Legal for putting together this memorial contest; I just wish that memorializing
Slaughter Priest would not have involved the death of two very promising fellow
Gryffindors. Their replacements are certainly no compensation.
With a victory this turn I should get my invitation to the Isle. Even if I lose, it
will be just two turns until I get the invite, assuming we are not memorializing me
in the next couple of turns.
My challenges this turn go out to, oh yeah right, I can't challenging any of you
blokes. Oh well, I guess I will just have to take my chances and rely on some match
up luck.
Ron Weasley
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of TROCAR! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. There were bitter words at CARESS OF
STEEL's guildhouse after a 0-0-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into
12th. Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the
corner! Witness how this week GRYFFINDOR HOUSE2 went 5-0-0 to move up 6 in the
rankings. My praise to TRADERS OF TROCAR for their 4-1-0 week this time out.
Indeed, it was a skillfully fought round deserving of notice! VIRET caught the eye
of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested MADAM VENUSIA and was
awarded 18 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, NEVILLE
put down HONOR RICH HAMMER, causing him to lose 12 points of recognition in the
process. Not for nothing has RON WEASLEY in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's
throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Heed this! A seer has
warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just
remember...5 or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TROCAR. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. THE ABYSMALS is feared. This much I can say. Methinks
more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last
week avoiding THE ABYSMALS. Indeed it was JANIX.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Some say a warrior is judged by the way
he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise
are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

It is such a pleasure to see that we are all being Sparffed! -- Vet

Fellow contest participants -- Good luck to everyone, except the ones fighting my

The Abysmals -- I assume that's you running these guys, Noachian, since you have the
same team name in Sunset. While you're of course free to challenge whomever you
desire in this arena or any other, if you're gonna start targeting Slaughter contest
teams for easy challenges constantly, that's pretty low. I'd have expected more out
of you. I also realize Trocar is a Delarq arena and you're not in this contest, but
you won't gain anyone's respect running like that for the next year. -- Stik
Finnigan -- Sorry to have fought an ally and had to beat him but man was that a close
one! -- Evergrey

Trocar Tribute Teams -- Hammer is busy overseas with real life situations plus the
tabulation of scores for the distribution of the DM 28 Madness Prize Allocations. I
am named in honor of Rich [the Slaughter Priest] whose stable in the Madness contest
was named LEE FAMILY. When my opponents cross blades with my swords it will be to
the memory of a fallen friend who loved this game so well and who desired to run such
a contest as this one! I fight in his memory! -- LEE FAMILY

ATTENTION ALL YOU ALLIANCE-TYPE PEOPLE:
For the purposes of tourney newsletter alliance listings (when I am able to do them),
you may only be listed in ONE alliance. In other words, you have to choose! If you
are a part of Englebert's Alliance and Englebert's Alliance is "part" of Ruthrauf's
Alliance, I will list you EITHER as part of Englebert's Alliance OR as part of
Ruthrauf's Alliance, NOT both. The default would be the top-level alliance,
Ruthrauf's, in this example. If you'd rather be listed separately, let me know and I
will do so, but that will be the only listing you get. -- The Saint, keeper of ever-
more-complicated lists

The Company of Brothers (TCB) welcomes two new members to our alliance...Liam the
Goth and Buddy Lee. We have no doubt that they will prove to be assets to our
alliance and the general dueling community. -- Baphomet, co-founder, T.C.B.
