SPY REPORT
Much has changed in COLLUSION COVE since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf
Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Who can explain it?
Not you, not me, not DEATH STUDS VII's opponents, after watching them shoot up the
ranks from 21st to 8th. What's with EDWARD KINGSLEY? He actually beat
CHEER-O-KEE'S' FISH STICKS, and walked away with 19 more points from the fight.
Laughs were big at TPW FOREVER while they watched EDWARD KINGSLEY clobber FISH
STICKS. She lost 16 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. Har
har har! Did TYVEK wimp out, or just get lazy? Anyway, it's not Duelmaster anymore.
I can barely restrain my enthusiam for THINGS ILL NEVER GET's outstanding member,
Duelmaster MADONNA. Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on? I
hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... The most avoided team
was HOUSE OF GRAIN. Management must be dealin', as the boys at DEATH STUDS XII ain't
reelin'! HOUSE OF GRAIN's mad! How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, FLOUR POWER! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt
you.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Who will dare fight AN AVERAGE JOE, after he
returned from the Dark Arena? (For the record 2-0-1 is 33, and has he points) How
long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go...
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Doesn't anyone ever say "hello" anymore? In any case, I bet you're all expecting me
to use a bunch of bread puns, but that's not how I roll. -- DK "Dark Knead" Bread,
mgr of House of Grain
Whim, wham whoppo! Supey-doopey scallopinoed Studdy-duddy. Supercali goody woody
deliciouseronious! -- The Creepster
Clark Kent's rather easy smack down of Death Stud has apparently caught The
Creepster's eye. Mine too! -- The Crazy Creeps Scribe
Oh, shucks, Mr. Oblivious, I am so sorry to have beaten you. So sorry.
Bwahahahahahahah! -- White Witch
Death Stud -- You were easy. I didn't need to strip to my "S" or even get out of the
phone booth. -- Clark Kent
Death Studs XII -- We appreciate the hypocrisy of Death Stud's (the warrior) name and
size. We do! Made our day! -- The Crazy Creeps Scribe and friends.
FONZ = Frivolous Oddities Nodding Zealously
Ed. -- " I'm sure if anyone could speak for the puppet, it would be you." Thanks, I
try to be an openminded guy and.... HEEEEY! Wait a minute! I...er.... Hmmm I lost
my train of thought. What were we talking about? Oh yeah, puppets. I like puppets.
But not clowns. Yay puppets, boo clowns. -- Anti
What about clown puppets? -- Ed.
Death Stud -- So you won't be giving Nuln any of your "magical TC juice" huh? Maybe
after the second date? If he buys you lobster? -- Anti
Hammer -- You've been awfully quiet, c'mon and join in the drunken revelry that is
Collusion "Not Aradi" Cove. For every fifth time Ed. insults you, you get a free 6
inch sub. Really. -- Anti
Col -- Ah yes, a proper thrashing is what you deserved you unclean knave, and a
proper thrashing is what you received. Tut tut. -- Edward Kingsley
Lassie -- Uhm, I'm a sock. What do you expect me to say? I spend my free time
getting bashed around inside a hot, spinning metal thingee. I'm not big on
conversation. -- Nuln's Pet Sock
To the recent batch of new teams, welcome welcome. Your fruit basket will be on your
doorstep soon, you'll have to keep an eye out for it since Death Stud usually
delivers them and he can't reach the doorbell. Hoo ha! -- Anti
Yellow Jacket -- Boy, are you mean! I saw you sitting there, just buzzing a little,
and I thought, "I dunno what that is, but maybe it wants to play," so I poked you
with my nose. And you STUNG me! So of COURSE I bit you. What did you expect? Any
dog would have done that. -- Bully Boy
Gazrek -- All the sudden it was dark, and there was this reek of sulfur, which ALWAYS
makes me sneeze. And while I was sneezing, you popped up and kicked me. I tried to
tell you I wanted to be friends, but did you listen? No, of course not. (sigh)
It's a hard life being a dog. Nobody understands. -- Lassie
Vengraz -- Lassie was upset with your teammate, who was mean to her. If she wasn't a
totally GOOD Dog, she'd want all you Darke Demons thrashed, and what Lassie wants, I
see to it she gets. *I* am not a Good Dog. Not when I have to be Bad. I can handle
that. -- Flummax
Panamon -- What? I thought you were throwing a stick for me, and I chased it.
That's what a dog does, right? But the stick turned around and hit me on the back of
the head. I call that unfair! You have a wicked stick, and you should punish it!
Let me chew it up. -- The Err Mutt
Beast Xvii -- This is all so confusing. You're littler than me, so does that really
mean that you're bigger? Wait, wait! Here's another puzzle: The reporter called me
a dimimutive gladiator, but you're smaller than me. Can it do things like that? --
Little Big Dog
P.S. Why is the crowd throwing flowers? Who wants flowers? They should throw
hotdogs.
Crazy Creeps -- Oh, yes, Dwayne the Dog is a Bad Dog and must be driven off. But
what is this "collude" business? It sounds like barking under water, which can be
fun sometimes, I admit, if you remember not to breathe IN while your nose is under
the surface. -- Lassie
Anti -- You don't want to HIT mailmen. You BITE them. Several times. -- Spot and
the other Dogs
Ed. -- I noticed. All man-made fibers, too. -- Lassie
Our congratulations to Ricky J. -- Spot and the Red Dog Gang
Fruit of the Loom -- 9-5-6?!? Dang, that's a right spiffy record you have there. --
Death Studs
House of Grain -- Don't feel bad, 9-0-1 is good as well, but just doesn't have the
same pizzazz. -- The Studs of Death
Clark Kent -- You are super, man. -- Death Stud, the warrior
TOGS!

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....
