SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, COLLUSION COVE? Ain't you never seen Snide
Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. With any luck, I can sneak into
The Victory Tavern and join WING HOVE's celebration over their good record this turn.
4th place, not bad. Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-0-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, THE
UPSTARTS III, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're
all terribly impressed to see LASSIE win a fight and gain 16 points, terribly. Tsk,
tsk, WEKA DART beat FRANZ and FRANZ lost 12 points. You're breakin' my heart. And
it's out with the old, in with the new, as ALLAN JOHNSON takes the Title and last
week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks
and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
COLLUSION COVE, I am losing what little hope I had in you. RED DOG GANG the most
avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And who led the way in this
mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was HOUSE OF GRAIN. Ha ha
ha ha! FLUMMAX was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the
DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in COLLUSION COVE to get a drink than The
Victory Tavern! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't
be so nice! So nyaaah! Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling
come this winter-- Snide Clemens

Rolldozer -- Where did you find that Kryptonite? Did The FONZ black market it to
you? -- Clark Kent
All Newbies, be careful of the fruit basket that Anti indicated The FONZ delivers to
newcomers. The FONZ definition of fruit may be different than yours. (or ours) --
The Crazy Creeps Scribe
Eggplants.
In an amazing announcement recently, The Creepster (in his own words--see below)
publicized that he and Slugbait would partner in the next TOGS. Where do they find
these guys? -- The Award Winning And World Famous Aradi Free Press (AWAWFAFR)
Holy bangeronious! Whim wham wowzerific! Sluggy duggy baitinghower plusky Creeper-
deeper dopper doodah! Togsuckerinski! -- The Creepster
Crazy Creeps everywhere would like to send their welcome to the wonderful Technogeek,
who has indicated his desire to become a TOGS participant. He and Fandil The Wise
(Consortium TM) are age-old friends from Ardivent--The Arena Of The Red Sands. He
would make a wonderful partner for anyone wanting to pair with one of the very best.
-- The Crazy Creeps Scribe
FONZ = Frisky Oddities Nearing Zaniness
Pusillanimous -- It's always nice when former TVs break in the new guy with a
challenge, but you could have at least taught me a couple more skills. -- Scorn Bread
Beast Xvii -- You beast! (whimper) It hurts my teeth when I even TRY to bite you.
And you smell funny. Not, you know, like something with blood. It takes all the fun
out of stuff. -- Flummax
Wrath Lix -- I don't know why anyone would want to lick you. (ptui!) You don't
taste like something to chew on, and I'm not actually PICKY about that, not really.
Why doesn't your manager get some GOOD stuff? -- Bully Boy
Weeping Willow -- (heavy sigh) Well, I suppose a stick is better than nothing, but
I've chewed on tastier sticks. -- Lassie
Roach -- I think this is a GREAT restaurant! All the great smells, and the stuff is
right down on the floor where I can reach it. -- The Err Mutt
Stench -- (big sniff and snort) Not bad. -- Little Big Dog
DK Bread -- We barked when you came past, does that count? -- Spot and the Red Dog
Gang
Nuln's Pet Sock -- Well, work on it! You do fine with the olfactory component, work
on the rest. Squeak or something. -- Lassie
Our congratulations to Madonna. -- Spot and the Red Dog Gang
Aradians (Aradiites?) -- Finally I can push life in my home world to the back seat
and let DM reclaim shotgun. Now I can put my plan for TOGS domination into motion.
-- Indimar
In view of the current name of the arena, perhaps they should be "Colluders."
Nuln -- Do you hear that? It's the sound of zest returning to your dreary little
life. -- Indy
Pauly -- You realize that teaming up with me for TOGS will attract the wrath of
Elephant, don't you? I think some shin guards should protect everything he can
reach. Now all we need is a really cool name for our team, something catchy like
"Indimar and Co." -- Who's your Daddy?
Creepster -- Hut sut ralston on the rilla ra and a bralla bralla suet. I hope you
take that in the spirit in which it was offered. -- Indimar Fallon
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....
