TEAM SPOTLIGHT
What I learned from TOGS
1 Clearly Pip is seemingly unaffected by pain.
2 Death Stud is just a short guy maybe even shorter than Miles.
3 Malaquar is destined to be a minion forever.
4 Neon drools a lot.
5 It was all clearly Pip's fault.
6 Mmost Andorians don't suck, but a few do and we all know who that is.
7 Soultaker was turned down on his application as Mexico City sewer diver and has
been depressed ever since.
8 TOGS was enough fun that I actually almost paid attention.
Thanks to all who made it an enjoyable event.
I'll be back.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hey hey hey Aradi.
Looks like Thorne was able to take out Obiter Dicta with no problem to get the
necessary PP's to graduate. Sorry I didn't get to stomp Gummi Ghoul again.
For all interested here are Thorne's favs; GA Mod/Mod learns rip.
Well, sorry this is so short but it's late and all. Time to take Thorne and his
2 adv exps and 2 exps and head off to Home Guard.
Until my next Aradi DM take care all.
DeGotti
SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in LOOPHOLES this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. I understand that The Victory Tavern is
buying the drinks for DARQUE AGES tonight, to honor their rise to 6th after this
turns 3-0-0. Hmmm. I want to know who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The
Victory Tavern, seeing as FORGOTTEN REALMS' 74-127-3 has earned them 8th place in the
ranks. Now, what did these guys have for breakfast this morning? SAAB STORY has
turned a 3-0-0 into 9th place from 26th. Give me the recipe! The NATURAL DISASTERS
guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You never know
where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, TRIPLICATE THUNDER fought CYVIN
and gained 31 points and contributed to WILD CARDS' 4-1-1. GOLDFISH has lost to
PIKEL, falling 15 points, while helping make SHADOW SIGNS a 0-1-0 turn. Well done,
LOOPHOLES, the Duelmaster was this turn's most challenged warrior. Perhaps THORNE is
not as thrilled, being challenged 4 times. This week's Duelmaster bout was between
BEEROPOLY and our Duelmaster THORNE, making a challenge. Defending his title for
another turn, THORNE kept INGRATE WHITE NORTH's warrior, BEEROPOLY, from claiming the
throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes their losing
fighters do dishes at The Victory Tavern until they win. Maybe?
I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling. A basher
friend of mine assures me this is true. I also notice that the THE UNDERWORLD stable
was the most avoided team this turn. Come on LOOPHOLES, what are you afraid of? And
guess who avoided THE UNDERWORLD stable the most? Believe it or not, it was
BEERBARIANS. Anyone surprised? I don't know about you, but NEWCASTLE challenging
down 30 points to LEGALESE's LACHES, is not really worthy of BEERBARIANS. Well, it
only serves justice to see that NEWCASTLE was overcame by LACHES. Heh, heh. In a
brave attempt, SCRAG from LOSERS challenged up 25 points to fight DEMURRER from the
LEGALESE stable. SCRAG perhaps got its just desserts, seeing as it beat DEMURRER and
ended up with 63 recognition points.
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. A farewell moment, if you please, PIP THE TROLL of LOSERS has been sent to
the Dark Arena, and was carried out on his shield. CYVIN has departed LOOPHOLES,
leaving FA CHING without their 14-9-1 warrior. Question, just what was his team
doing at the taverns last night? A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has
nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe. Dare
to fight bravely. Always good to rest in LOOPHOLES, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in LOOPHOLES again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

DEATH FEST
The ferocious ghosts of former glories whispered across the wind swept sands of
DM 59; agonizing incessantly due to the diminutive demise of the Delarq arena known
as Illis.
Tattered banners and forgotten memories wailed in the wind for a dynamic death
march to dawn once more upon the blood stained sands of the Delarq slow arena.
The distant call crying for a declaration of restoration amidst the ruin of the
all but forgotten Delarq arena carried to the far corners of Alastari; drawing the
Devious, the Diabolical, the Dangerous and the Down Challenging to cross blades and
wage warfare among an assemblage of new stables managed by the Known and Unknown;
willing to spill fresh blood, while carving their destiny during 15 Rounds of contest
driven combat to be known as the "Illis Incredibly Diabolical Delarq Death Fest".
A lone cloaked figure huddled by lamplight in a remote outpost near the
crossroads of ElseWhere and ElseWhen; feverishly formulating the foundational
framework for the dawning of the Delarq Death Fest in DM 59, complete with
Gladiatorial Commission sanctioned prizes to promote the growing thirst for a Delarq
Slow Arena Death Festival.
Delarq Death Fest Opening Round debuts the first turn immediately following the
Summer 2004 F2F Tourney and continues through the completion of 15 consecutive
rounds.
Death Fest points are Won or Lost ONLY in the DM 59 Delarq Slow Arena [Tourneys
DO NOT Add or Subtract from the Death Fest Point Scoring System]:
Death Fest Scoring Format:
Win =3D +2 pts
Loss =3D -1 pt
Kill =3D +5 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win]
Death =3D -3 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss]
Dark Arena Kill =3D +10 pts [in addition to +2 pts for Win]
Dark Arena Death =3D -5 pts [in addition to 1 pt for Loss]
Revenged Blood Feud =3D +5 pts [successful Revenged Blood Feud provides Death Fest
contestants the opportunity to cancel out 3 pts for Death and 1 pt for Loss; while
gaining +1 pt overall for the Revenged Blood Feud in addition to the +2 pts for Win]
DEATH FEST PRIZES will be awarded to the Top Ten Death Fest Stables on the basis
of Total Points*** accumulated during the 15 rounds of competition as follows:
1. Favorite Weapon Knowledge for 1 (one) warrior ranked Initiate or higher on the
Final Round to be revealed by RSI to each of the Top Ten Death Fest Stables
2. Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters and NPCs [yet to be determined according to how
many DA Monsters and NPCs are available in DM 59 for Renaming]
3. The Top Five Death Fest Stables will receive New Team Rollup Certificates as
follows: 1st (10), 2nd (8), 3rd (6), 4th (4) and 5th (2)
4. Renaming Illis Arena for 6 months plus Receiving 6 months Free Play courtesy of
RSI will be awarded to the manager of the 1st Place Death Fest Stable
5. Discussions are underway regarding a possible Special Award granted to the Illis
Iron Stable qualifiers who compete in 67 of a possible 75 fights during the course of
the 15 consecutive rounds of the Death Fest [Key Factor is How Many (?) stables will
be competing in the Death Fest without drawing away participation by current managers
in the remaining slow arenas!] Therefore, it is important for all managers entering
stables in DM 59 for the upcoming Death Fest to contact RSI as soon as possible
regarding their participation in this contest so that a Final Ruling on the proposed
Illis Iron Stable Award can be issued by RSI.
***TieBreaker is determined on the Final Round by the DM 59 Newsletter Recognition
Rankings. The stable with the Highest Ranked Active Gladiator is granted the
decision. [Example: Warrior A and Warrior B are both listed in the Recognition
Rankings with 87 pts; however, because Warrior A is listed in the Recognition
Rankings ahead of Warrior B, then Warrior A is granted the TieBreaker Decision for
His/Her stable!]
Opening Round Team Spotlight Bonus [minimum 15 paragraphs!] Each Delarq Death
Fest competitor who writes a Team Spotlight featuring their Stable (Name) and
Managerial Alias [Gladiatorial Names Optional] in regards to competing in the Delarq
Death Fest will receive 25 pts added to His/Her opening round score.
Illis Iron Stable Bonus [in addition to the proposed award awaiting RSI
approval!] Any manager whose stable competes in at least 67 of the possible 75
fights during the 15 rounds of Death Fest receives 25 points added to His/Her final
overall score [this allows each stable the cushion of missing one round of
competition; plus up to 3 additional fights due to waiting for replacement rollups
from Deaths suffered either in Tourneys or during the Death Fest contest in DM 59
over the course of 15 rounds of competition!]
