DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Uh, Anti said I have to write a column or something. I don't like writing. I like
muffins though. With blueberries. Yeah those are good. Cranberries not so much.
Anti says he doesn't know if he likes clown puppets or not. Anti is kinda weird
sometimes. Uhm.... Yeah muffins are good.

Somehow Duelmaster for a turn
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. Later days, HOUSE OF GRAIN,
since UNDERDOGS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. If The
Blind Cyclops Inn is buying drinks for UNDERDOGS' good turn, I'm afraid the place
will be dry before long. A 5-0-0 makes for a big thirst. Now keep the taverns open
late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for DEATH STUDS XII, whose 0-4-0 this
turn dropped them by 7 into 13th. Ha! Of course, we're all terribly impressed to
see MACS win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, MACS beat MR OBLIVIOUS
and MR OBLIVIOUS lost 21 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the
spice of life, COLLUSION COVE may be getting bland, as ALLAN JOHNSON stays top dog in
the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You
want to know what's new, don't you, COLLUSION COVE?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. UNDERDOGS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were
this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it
looks like DEATH STUDS XII avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be
losers, if you ask me. Hmph. LASSIE was challenged more times this turn than the
Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and
gone, and get to see if their team cared. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess
what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in COLLUSION COVE to get a drink than The Blind
Cyclops Inn! Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine
city of COLLUSION COVE. I feel much better now. Paste this one in your scrapbooks,
you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

A father/son TOGS team? Why that's, that's, that's well, you know, when you do
indecent things with your kids? Gee! Is that allowed--even in Aradi? -- The Crazy
Creeps Scribe
Allan Johnson -- Well, everyone in the world thought Madonna was easy. -- The Crazy
Creeps Scribe
P.S. Congrats anyhow.
Indimar -- The Creepster got your message and accepted it in typical Aradi fashion.
I am not really sure if his gesture was positive or negative. -- The Crazy Creeps
Scribe
Flummax -- You are not man's best friend, you dog! -- Clark Kent
FONZ = Fraudulent Oldsters Nestling Zealously
Rush Reborn -- Sorry for your recent loss. At least you can now participate in the
dead tourney and bread feud us afterward. -- DK Bread, mgr. House of Grain
Nuln -- You know, shortly after you made a crack about your car "Doing an Anti" my
tire blew out as I was driving to church. So thanks for the karmic kick to the
crotch. -- Anti
Indimar -- Mmmm zest. My favorite flavor of soap. -- Anti
Rolldozer -- Bah, begone foul miscreant. Begone! -- Edward Kingsley
Macs -- You seem familiar. Were you my mailman at one time? -- Mr Oblivious
Ed. -- Have you heard about this TOGS thing? -- Anti
Nope. I'm sure it's just a myth. A horrible, soul destroying myth. -- Ed.
Clark Kent -- (growling softly) You smell funny, and why were you hiding in that
phone booth? You're DIFFERENT. No dog likes people to be different. Stop doing it.
-- Flummax
Tiger Ty -- Damn, you're the meanest cat I ever tangled with! Huh. Maybe I'll
just...yeah, I'll leave you alone. There's easier cats out there. -- Bully Boy
Panamon -- Did you know there was mouse in your beard? Fact, I smelled it, and the
Nose knows. That's why I kept going for your throat, I was trying to get the mouse
away from you. They aren't to be trusted. They carry fleas and ticks. -- Lassie
Hendrick -- Oh, cool, another dog! (sniff, sneeze) What's that smelly stuff,
something your human used for a shampoo? They do have this fetish about baths, don't
they? One of their less endearing traits, but I suppose we can put up with it in
return for meals we don't have to run down for ourselves, and sleeping on the bed. --
The Err Mutt
Limelight -- Gods? What nonsense! Good Dogs are perfect in themselves and don't
need gods. Well, I suppose we could deal with them if we had to, after all, we deal
with people, and after that, what's a god for difficulty? -- Little Big Dog
Arenamaster Harkon -- Why did you stop me burying Limelight in the sand? Sure, sand
isn't ideal, dirt is better, but he was my catch and it was RIGHT that I should bury
him for future reference. -- Little Big Dog
Ed. -- I had forgotten about the name change. Come to think of it "Colluders" is a
pretty good way to refer to this bunch no matter what name the arena goes by. --
Indimar
I can think of better names.... -- Ed.
Wow! I seem to have a knack for dropping back in just as everyone drops out. --
Indimar
Warriors of Rush Reborn -- I, of course, stand ready to honor the bloodfeud. -- Par
Pauly -- If you bring me an onion, a shoelace, and a Mr. Coffee I'll make you some
Hobo chili. -- Indy
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....
