TEAM SPOTLIGHT
THE ADM REGIONAL TOURNAMENT
The next ADM Regional Tournament will be held in the months of October/November 2011
and will be contested in the regular arenas during the late Summer months.
Q: What is the ADM Regional Tournament?
A: The ADM Regional Tournament is a competition where the best and brightest warriors
from the ADM regionals compete for bragging rights and to see which region is the
best!
Q: How does it work?
A: During the month of October, the warriors of each Regional Team will be temporarily
moved to a special regional arena, where they will battle it out in a single
elimination tournament. The last warrior standing wins for his region. (Learns,
skills, and FE gained during the contest will not be permanent.)
Results will be posted online during the months of October/November.
Q: How are teams determined?
A: There are 10 warrior slots given out to each team. The 10 Stylemasters of each
regional arena during Saturday, October 15th will automatically qualify and be
selected.
To qualify for a Stylemaster position, you must have been active in the arena in 4
of the prior 6 turns including the last one (2 of the last 3 for Crysalis). (Thus,
you'll want to activate your warriors before the week of July 23rd, to be safe.)
Should a team not be able to qualify all 10 warriors, they may select wildcard
entrants to fill those empty slots. However, they must have at least 7 different
styles represented AND no more than 2 of any style. Should they not be able to
meet this criteria, their team will be filled with NPCs.
Each manager may only play for 1 region and may qualify no more than 3 warriors on
a regional team. They may play a 3rd warrior only if everyone else who wants to
participate already has 2 and/or there is no other option. A manager may not have
more than 1 warrior of the same style on the regional team.
Q: What's a Regional Coordinator?
A: The Regional Coordinator is the unofficial "team captain": They are in charge of
putting together their team based on the rules, trying to make sure everyone is
included and that any disputes are handled. (For instance, if someone qualifies
more than 2 warriors, the regional coordinator will work with that manager and
determine which warriors will participate on the team, and then notify
replacements, etc.)
The Regional Coordinators are: Manager (Andorak), Buri(Darkholm), The Dark One
(Free Blades), Crip (Crysalis), Master Darque (Unnamed No Tourney Arena), One Arm
Bandit (Home Guard). If you need to contact them, you can write a personal ad in
the ADM arena, or send a diplo to them at:
Manager: Superior Forces in DM 105
The Dark One: Angels of Pain in DM 103
Buri: Tackle Box in DM 104
One Arm Bandit: Sea Dogs in DM 101
Crip: Royal Flush in DM 106
Master Darque: Darque Ages in DM 81
Q: What does happen if someone qualifies more than 2 warriors?
A: That manager will be able to decide which 2 to send (or, if there are no other
options, the manager may send 3--see above) and the next highest qualifying warrior
will be able to take place of the warrior that doesn't get sent if it's an
automatic spot. It's definitely a good idea to communicate with your team
coordinator and fellow teammates. Remember, even though you are fighting for
qualification spots, you all still want to put together a competitive team! (All
of the captains treat this as an inclusive event so it's unlikely anyone will
completely get left out in the cold.)
Q: What if my warriors are not in ADM regional? Or, what if they are in the wrong
ADM regional?
A: If your warriors are in 100, or are in the wrong region, and they haven't fought
since the split, you can request to CSR to have them moved into the proper
regional arena.
Q: Is there a prize?
A: Bragging rights!

SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of TROCAR! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes,
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. ALINE TARAS caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested CULT MEMBER and was awarded 12
points in recognition. Not for nothing has CAO ZHENG in the past laid claim to the
Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again.
Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights without
pantyhose on beneath his armor. Watch out!
I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently
transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. At the gambling halls I have
started to bet money on QIONG YING. She has got the courage it takes. Witness hers
challenge this turn against ALLERDAE CHAN! 3 points of newly earned recognition and
a dose of my admiration is what QIONG YING must now weigh against the defeat which
resulted. A match that raised a few eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that
ZHUGE LIANG posted a challenge against the more highly recognized HARAZIM KOREH. The
results, you ask? Well, the firebrand ZHUGE LIANG was beat by HARAZIM KOREH.
Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his
foe's mortality? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena
there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off
city calling to me. I must away! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks
slow, hides head in a shell, and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.--
Zontani Sharp Eyes

PERSONAL ADS
Pec Killer -- Whenever and whatever you have time to write is welcome. -- Jorja
P.S. As to "hogging the top spots," what else could you do? When you've got the
most experienced fighters, they're going to rise. I find myself in that position a
lot, here and in other small arenas, through simple persistence: everybody of mine
runs every time, on maintenance, and if nobody else runs regularly, well, there you
have it.
Our congratulations to Cao Zheng. -- Jorja and the Traders of Trocar
Qiong Ying -- I would've taught you more, but the arenamaster stepped in and stopped
the fight too soon. Still, I 'spect you'll do fine. -- Allerdae Chan
P.S. And I'll do practically nothing--retirement!
P.P.S. In case you wondered: 11-16-9-13-15-5-15, EP mod/vlo, ex rip, adex att.
The main advantage was that high con.
Tong Pak Fu -- I studied pack-fu under a master packer in a caravan a long time ago.
What do you think of my style of doing it? It's easier with a camel, of course, but
the arenamaster wouldn't let me bring my camel onto the sands. Wet blanket. --
Worzeel
Garnet the Whip? I lost to a STANDBY? The shame! -- Aline Taras
Zui Bei -- They do say that to start with a loss means "nowhere to go but up." Of
course, they ALSO say that to start with a loss sets up a bias toward losing. So you
take your pick. -- Harazim Koreh
Zhuge Liang -- Huh, I guess it's our job today to initiate rookies. I can't say I
enjoy it, too much chance of an unintended death. But this time we all got lucky and
nobody died. -- Levandar

Announcing!
The No-Tourney ADM arena will be opening for business on the
first of August of this year!

entertained through the months of August and September.
