                                      SPY REPORT

     It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report.  Sit 
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis.  Coming up with 
a solid 2-1-0 outing, RESCUE RANGERS has advanced 3 places in the rankings.  Hey 
everybody, watch out for HAWTHORN, who flew up 14 points in the rankings after 
mashing LELLDORIN like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a 
basher in the top ten was LELLDORIN, who dropped 13 points after a disappointing (to 
say the least) bout with HAWTHORN.  It's a proud day for the KNIGHTS OF ROCANIS 
stable, as their warrior, MANDORALLEN, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Advice to 
bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the ROCANIS arena.  Here's a 
song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad STRAIGHT UP THUG?   Big bad STRAIGHT UP 
THUG.  Big bad STRAIGHT UP THUG.  ROCANIS' afraid of the big bad STRAIGHT UP THUG.  
Tra la la la la!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  STRAIGHT UP THUG + 
Weapons That go Boom = BLOOD BROTHERS + Avoid City.  Well dang howdy, but if 
challenges were votes, MALUS S'PROUT would be president.  Although it may be a 
contest he doesn't want to win.  Was it guts or an overtaxed mental capacity that had 
LYNX challenge up 27 points in the rankings to take on PREATORIAN?  To the crowd's 
chants of 'Bo-zo bo-zo bo-zo', PREATORIAN was taken out by the lower-ranked LYNX.  
(Maybe it's time to think Dark Arena?).   
     Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day 
drinking to their memory.  Better tanked than dead!  Ask not the elves for counsel, 
for they will say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud 
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The Unknown Spymaster

Godget -- Gods, you are the WOMAN!  I am so THRILLED that you lifted that burden from
me, and I'm SURE you are better fit to bear it.  I'd be glad to take you to dinner or
whatever, but you have to wait till I thaw out my initiative before I can make a
proper invitation, and I wouldn't DARE issue an improper invitation to someone of
your prowess. -- Buck Fever

Praetorian -- I hate it when a young hotshot comes along and makes me look like old
news.  (sigh)  But you do it very well.  (heavier sigh)  Maybe I *am* old news. --

Loveable Larry -- No WAY do I want you to "kiss it and make it well"!  Keep your lips
to yourself, you thug! -- Malus S'Prout

Ah, the Rirorni Saboteur.  A devious and dangerous fellow.  I can't stand him,
myself, which is why I refused to grapple with him.  He'd've set my hair on fire if
I'd given him the chance. -- Sourcrab

I see no reason why the Trocaran Deserter should be stigmatized for that act of
sanity and good taste, to wit, his desertion of Trocar. -- Woodworm

Mandorallen and Knights of Rocanis -- Although no manager likes to be downchallenged,
in an arena this small, we accept it as occasionally inevitable.  It isn't like you
have a lot of choices. -- Jorja, Bad Apples

Mandorallen -- Ah, well, you'll have to go after Godget now. -- Buck Fever

20 September 2007
Ok, ok, you can stop not-talking about TOGS VI already, it is coming, slowly but
surely, like a giant, over-fed, greased slug sliding down a gravely driveway.  We're
looking for new-comers, old-timers, in-betweeners, fence-sitters and Delarquans to
come on out and participate.  Just think, you could be the next Pinky & the Brain
pairing (a la Creepster & Manager), or maybe you'll be the team that crushes all in
its path on the way TO UTTER AND COMPLETE TOGS DOMINATION!!!!!!  [note:  insert
sinister cackle if it helps you complete the picture]

There will be a few minor changes, so let's recap the rules from top to bottom:

1.  Each TOGS team consists of two managers.  After the contest starts, there will be
no switching partners whatsoever, so choose your teammate wisely.  TOGS VI will last
for 13 turns, so pick a partner you can stand for 6 months or so.

2.  The TOGS entry fee is 2 team setups per manager.  This means 4 setups per TOGS
team.  This entry fee is required before the start of the tourney with no exceptions
being made.  This is to ensure that nobody gets screwed if a team or manager decides
to back out early.  To pay the entry fee either:
     a)  send $10 cash/check/money order/ or whatever to me personally at:
          Paul Jokelson
          115 Moss Ave. #201
          Oakland, CA 94611
     b)  get RSI to send me 2 team setup gift certificates.  Sorry, no credit cards
         and no old teams you have lying around will be accepted.

3. TOGS point system:

Fights:

10 points for winning on your up-challenge against another TOGS warrior.
 7 points for winning on your even challenge of another TOGS warrior.
 7 points for winning on another TOGS warriors challenge.
 7 points for winning a random match-up against another TOGS warrior.
 4 points for winning on your down-challenge of another TOGS warrior.
 4 points for winning a random match-up against a non-TOGS warrior.

Changes this TOGS:

** 10 points for any challenge by the DM, UP OR DOWN!!
** 4 points for winning a random match-up against your TOGS partner's warrior.
To state the obvious, there are 0 points if you challenge your partner.

** 4 points for winning a bloodfeud attempt against you by a non-TOGS warrior

You will not get any points if you challenge or get challenged by a non-TOGS team
(with the exception of the above-stated rule if you get bloodfeuded), so use your
avoids wisely if you think someone is out to get you.

Spots/Ads

5 points for every spotlight written by any team member.  1 per manager per turn.

The minimum length of a spotlight to receive points is 1/2 column in the newsletter
(that's 31 lines-each line 85 characters across) and we will be completely firm on
this.  In addition to the length criteria, spotlights will not be given points if
they are in any way plagiarized or if they are not Duelmasters or fantasy related.
We will be the sole judge of this.  If you're unsure if we will judge something to be
Duelmasters or fantasy related, then e-mail me before you write the spotlight and
ask.  We reserve the right to take points away from a spotlight after they are given
if we judge at later time that the spotlight has been plagiarized.

-5 points per manager per turn every time a manager does not at least write one
personal ad.

4.  TOGS VI will start in arena 60 shortly after the Winter Face-to-Face (turn due
Feb 21, Aradi turn 436) and as mentioned before will last for 13 turns.  There will
be multipliers in the later rounds, which means that all points accumulated by a team
on turns 10 and 11 will be multiplied by 1.5 and all points accumulated by each team
on turns 12 and 13 will be multiplied by 2.

5.  Soultaker and Nuln will be the sole arbiters of any dispute that may arise, with
props to Sentinel for doing the score-keeping as always.  Whine all you like, we will
be glad to provide comfortable chairs and the cheese of your choice.

And there be the rules.  If you look closely, you'll notice there were a few minor
changes and additions made from the TOGS V rules.  They are as follows:

-- The Snotman & Nuln rule:  Last TOGS Snotman and Nuln randomly matched up something
like 4-5 times, so we basically decided out of pity to now give a small amount of
points (4 in this case) for winning a random against a teammate, so that you're not
completely screwed by having 2 of your 10 warriors get 0 zero points automatically.

-- Scaling Down Points for the DM:  Previously a TOGS DM would get 10 points *in
addition* to whatever challenge points they got.  This was to keep the DM from being
penalized for being at the top and give people something to fight for.  However, it
was a bit too much of an award and we decided to scale it back and eliminate the
bonus, but give full upchallenge credit whenever the DM challenges.

-- Bloodfeuds from outside TOGS teams:  This incident came up last TOGS, and it was
felt that if a person killed a non-TOGS warrior in a random, they shouldn't have to
be potentially locked into 4 turns of getting 0 points.  So we've added an additional
rule which now gives 4 points if you win when bloodfeuded by a non-TOGS warrior, at
least giving you some way to get points if you're locked into a non-TOGS bloodfeud
instead of being basically removed from the contest for 4 turns.

And lastly...

-- Team Names:  This was not listed in the rules, but to make things more festive, at
the suggestion of Manager we have decided to have the added dimension of team names!
Yes, no more boring rankings with Team 4 edging out Team 7.  Just picture reading a
TOGS turn report now, with something along the lines of "Team Fiery Starfish
obliterated Team Superior TOGSlings," just as one example.

We hope to see you all there....
