Seam was a smallish town, full of ordinary folk who enjoyed an ordinary life; it was indeed not the type of town that one would expect to be one of the very few towns chosen to host the Games of the Arena. Some years back the town council was presented with the opportunity to once again be host to the games, but they did not want to make the same mistake twice. In short: the beauty and simplicity of the town was all but ruined by the dark magics that seemingly without fail came to every host town the first time that SEAM attempted to be a host so many years back. The town council could not deny that the arena games brought a certain level of prosperity to any town that agreed to become a host. But unfortunately, this prosperity had a very strong dark side. It also brought with it thieves, thugs, and miscreants of every type. Hustlers, gamblers, drunkards, and whores. Hit-men and wise guys. Taverns open 'til all hours of the night... open practically on every corner. However, the quiet and unassuming little town of SEAM has managed to escape the dark faction that seemed to accompany most every arena town this second time around. Their answer to this problem was very simple: no magic of any kind was allowed in the city limits. Furthermore, in order to guarantee that the town's arena fighters stay completely and totally uncorrupted by the allure of magic, all of them were required to remain in the town until when and if they were lucky enough to advance to the games at the Isle. The town was extraordinary in how ordinary it actually was, and this was one thing that alfredo Frothingslosh himself loved so much about this lazy little town that he now called home. alfredo was not a rich man, but he did have a very strong standing with the spy commission and the other managers of the games... a standing that far surpassed his actual wealth, and he kept this standing by always being ready for any new opportunity that might come along. And in the case of having no such opportunity presenting itself for a long time, such as is the case now, alfredo also possessed a certain talent to create such an opportunity for himself. When alfredo first went to the town council with his notion of sponsoring a contest, he was categorically turned down. But he realized that it was not the contest itself that the town council feared: it was the *prize*. Prizes generally meant magic. Magic almost always was accompanied by a hidden cost that the council did not have the desire or the willingness to pay. But one thing that alfredo was famous for was the ability to make the most of his young warriors without the need of relying on magic. And this special "knack" that he had helped him not only to think of a prize that the council might begrudgingly accept, but further, actually showcased, emphasized, and *celebrated* the ability to compete in the Games without resorting to magic. What really sealed the deal was alfredo offering to round up the 300 recruits needed for the contest all on his own. At that point the council could hardly argue further. And that, my friends, brings us around full circle... back to the beginning of this little story: back to the 300 ordinary folk that I described shuffling past you into town. They were men and women, young and not so young; they tended to be on the thin side (perhaps a little undernourished); most looked to be in dire need of a bath, but more than anything, these recruits were totally and completely ordinary. But that should change, and in a little more than a year from now... change it will. It is most definitely not clear now, but through hard work, training, and perhaps a bit of talent that they were not yet aware of, six of these ordinary recruits will rise and prove that indeed the once ordinary can become extraordinary. Six of these ordinary recruits will rise, proving themselves to be the "Cream of the Slosh." ***---------*---------*---------*---------**---------*---------*---------*---------*** The Frothingslosh Syndicate is proud to announce 99 Bottles of Beer III!!! (+ 100): Sponsored by ALFREDOVISION(TM): for a Better Tomorrow, and a Better Today. The contest will be in honor and celebration of turn 199 of SEAM DM 20. Your objective is simple: be the first team to accumulate 199 Bottles of Beer! The first part of the contest will be a 15 turn "warm-up" starting on turn 184, due 7/4/22, but you are encouraged to start your team as early as possible. During this casual "meet and greet" stage, all teams will earn one bottle per turn simply by fielding a full team of 5 warriors and writing at least one personal ad. BTW guys, for the sake of simplicity, your Host and Cruise director asks that you PLEASE do not sign your ad expecting me to know who you are. If you are not 100% certain, then please state very clearly EVERY TURN what team you are associated with so i do not have to go through past newsletters to try to figure out who you are. Also do not forget to write a personal ad for the turn 184 newsletter! Simply stating who you are would be great. Something like, "Hi Seam. I'm John, the manager of John's team" is certainly sufficient. The real fireworks will start on turn 199, due on 1/30/23. That is when the teams will start to earn Bottles for Arena Performance, which will be earned/awarded as follows: * Bottles awarded for being active and writing a personal ad are discontinued. * 5 Bottles for each invite to ADM, AWARDED UPON THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF INVITE IN THE NEWSLETTER with the opportunity to earn 1 extra bottle ON THE FOLLOWING TURN for achieving a kill in the Dark Arena on their last fight. Note that this Bottle is a "bonus;" you will also earn a Bottle for the win; bottles awarded for wins are outlined below. * 3 Bottles for each turn as Duelmaster, with the opportunity to earn 1 extra bottle for writing a Duelmaster's column COLLECTED ON THE FOLLOWING TURN when the column is actually published. It does not have to be fancy but has to be "something": 99 words minimum. * 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 Bottles for Team on the Move and Current Top Team. In the case of ties, partial bottles will be awarded and will count towards your total. * 2 Bottles for Chartered Recognition Leader * 2 Bottles for This Week's Favorite * 2 Bottles for TOP CAREER HONORS Chartered Team * 0 Bottles for each turn as Overall Popularity Leader. Additionally, you will pay a 1 BOTTLE PENALTY on the following turn if you fail to post a personal ad apologizing for your ostentatious behavior! OR...you can choose to brag further about how astonishingly wonderful you actually are, and are more than worthy of all the accolades you get from your adoring fans. * 1 Bottle for a successful Bloodfeud: limit two bottles per incident. * 2 Bottles for each Stylemaster as listed in the newsletter. In other words, the rules for being awarded bottles for Stylemaster are the same as they are in the arena: winning record, adept or above. * 1 bottle for each win, or two bottles for each kill in the regular arena. Warriors that manage to return from the Dark Arena earn one bottle for the win only. If more than one team achieves or surpasses 199 Bottles on the same turn, the team with the higher total will be the victor. Partial Bottles having been awarded make the event of a tie at the end much less likely; any fraction of a bottle lead that you may have *will* count. In the unlikely event that there is an exact tie for any place that receives a prize, those teams involved will continue playing until a winner can be decided. The top three places will win one or more "Cream of the Slosh" replacements: * 1st Place: 3 CotS replacements * 2nd Place: 2 CotS replacements * 3rd Place: 1 CotS replacements A CotS replacement is 10 standard, ordinary Duelmasters teamsheets that are specially "marked" and grouped together by the Spy Commision to be used for this single purpose only. The winning manager then chooses any one out of the 50 warriors on the 10 teamsheets they wish to be their "Cream of the Slosh" replacement; the other 49 are simply discarded. Note that you are free to use your CotS replacement anytime you have an opening on your team in Seam; in other words, you are not required to Dark Arena nor do you have to pass on a good naturally occurring replacement. However, CotS replacements will not be allowed to hide their status: all CotS replacements will be required to start its name with these three symbols: O^O (capital O, shift-6 [caret symbol], capital O. This surely will cause them to be a "target" of challenges, but also will serve as a badge of honor for them to wear proudly. In the case of winning multiple CotS replacements, you will be required to wait at least 10 ACTIVE turns in between using your CotS replacements; you will only receive one CotS packet at a time. Just send a note in to the Spy Commission with your 10th turn's orders to receive your new CotS packet with your turn's results. Note that 6 CotS replacements being won in total is the guaranteed minimum. I have been informed that if the contest has an unusually large turnout, the Spy Commission MAY choose to spice up the prize pool with additional CotS replacements. Understand there are no guarantees (other than them 6 as listed), and these Spies were rather "vague" and sometimes can be a little sketchy. But, for what it's worth, I figured I should pass the information on just in case it does actually have merit. But that's not all! For those of you that wish to spice up the contest even further, we are featuring an additional and completely voluntary "Contest Within a Contest" for which there will be a one time fee of 6 RSI Gift Certificates to enter. The prize pool for the CWAC will be one "6-pack" of Duelmasters Gift Certificates (no cash value; each may be redeemed for one Duelmasters teamsheet) for every manager who chooses to participate. The prize pool will divided up among the winning players as follows: * 1st place: 1/2 of all the teamsheets * 2nd place: 1/3 of all the teamsheets * 3rd place: 1/6 of all the teamsheets I just want to clarify that managers competing for the CWAC teamsheets are only competing against each other. So, for example, if you place second in the main contest but the main contest winner did not choose to participate in the CWAC, you will then be the first place winner of the CWAC (and receive half of all the sheets in the prize pool). Additionally, if the CWAC proves to be very popular and gets many entries, I may pay out more places. Any such decisions will be discussed and finalized prior to turn 199. I will do my best to write a Contest Update every turn which will obviously be based on the totals from the previous turn. I also plan to start an email list that you may join if you wish. I will send out the updated contest standings to this list...likely very soon after the newsletter is posted; I will actually be so bold to suggest that I might get your contest update prior to getting your mail! So everyone can have up-to- date standings, but also gives you the chance to point out any errors I might have made prior to sending in the official update to be printed in the newsletter. Other Rules: * Once the first team equals or surpasses the required 199 Bottles total, THE CONTEST IS OVER unless there are any ties to work out, and in that case the contest will continue to the following turn ONLY for those teams involved. Your official contest ranking will be based on whatever position you are holding at the time that the first team(s) surpasses 199 bottles, even in the unlikely event of a tie for first place and the winner has not yet been determined. * NO AVOIDS: This will be STRICTLY ENFORCED starting on Turn 199. Any team caught avoiding will be REMOVED from the contest and their entry fee (if any) WILL NOT be refunded! And trust me, with the number of nosy spy reporters out there, YOU WILL get caught. * Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated and will be grounds for disqualification. Coordinating challenges is allowed; non-aggression pacts are allowed. "Taking a dive" (ie: throwing fights) is definitely NOT allowed. Any allegations of cheating will be investigated seriously; any decision made by the spy commission regarding said allegations will be final. Ladies and gentlemen: let's keep this clean, okay? None of us are kids anymore! * Seam is a "non-tourney" arena, and as such you are required to field a full team of 5 warriors every turn! Any warrior that has 1 FE or more missing the turn will incur a 3-Bottle penalty for their team. You are highly encouraged to put your entire team on maintenance, to guard against any mistakes. If you have a warrior "accidentally' sit out the turn, you will "accidentally" incur a 3-bottle penalty ;>. Any rookie warrior missing a turn will only incur a 1-Bottle penalty for their team. I am aware that those poor noobs often get lost temporarily. * There will be no penalty for your *entire team* missing a turn. It is certainly not recommended, however! * No tournament experience or "enhanced" warriors will be allowed. * If you wish to participate in the optional "contest within a contest," you must announce your intention to participate prior to turn 190 being processed (due 9/26). The one-time entry fee of 6 RSI Gift Certificates will be charged to your account at that time. YOU are invited; you are encouraged to start early if you like! The Frothingslosh Syndicate invites you to Bottle! Er...ah...battle! SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of KYR'TERR! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Notice that because of tied records, there are no top team honors this turn. Come on you guys, shake it up out there! Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week NERD HERD II went 3-2-0 to move up 5 in the rankings. AMY FARRAH FOWLER caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested TRACKING and was awarded 19 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, VETERAN MERCENARY put down CHEATING SPOUSE, causing it to lose 23 points of recognition in the process. The city has turned out in honor of LEAKY GLASS, for with its arena victory it may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7! I have been in deep conclave with my spies who watched all that has recently transpired. Indeed there is much I would report. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? My sources at MAGICAL ITEMS stable claim they've never seen the guild bitterer. This as a result of the untimely demise of HOWLER. Beware VETERAN MERCENARY! Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! The girls are as pretty in KYR'TERR as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LEAKY GLASS 8151 16 1 1 139 BWW ARLINGTON (911) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -ULTIMATE MIME FIGHT 6353 39 10 0 172 BAD COMBINATIONS (716) GRAND CANYON 6671 14 2 0 140 WESTERN FRONTIER (684) -GRETEL 7424 15 5 1 133 SECOND CHANCES (558) WIND SPEAKER 7549 23 4 0 126 SHAMAN'S MINIONS (845) I OF THE NEE DULL 6150 29 7 0 122 HAZAARDS OF CLONING (373) -FINGER LAKES 5821 17 3 1 120 NEW YORK (662) BOBBY JENKS 6134 23 13 0 116 WS ARMS '05 (699) BLOOD IMP 7556 13 3 0 110 WARLOCK'S MINIONS (847) -PROFESSOR OLDER 5825 20 7 0 104 NEW YORK (662) -KING NEPTUNE 6122 15 5 2 104 OUT OF THIS WORLD (697) CAFFEINATED TODDLER 7851 17 6 0 103 BAD COMBINATIONS (716) -DIRTY GIRL SCOUT 6363 18 1 0 102 CORDIALS (718) -I OF THE KNEE DULL 7297 11 8 0 101 HAZAARDS OF CLONING (373) -PERRY SATURN 6121 19 5 1 100 OUT OF THIS WORLD (697) GREAT PLAIN 6434 14 7 1 100 WESTERN FRONTIER (684) -MAGMA LORD 8059 10 1 0 100 SECOND CHANCES (558) -HANSEL 7422 11 3 0 99 SECOND CHANCES (558) MARS BAR 6124 20 8 0 98 OUT OF THIS WORLD (697) SILENT MONK 6362 19 9 1 98 CORDIALS (718) IN YOUR THROAT 8682 27 16 0 97 F IS FOR FROG (997) -CATALYST 7056 15 3 1 96 WARCKERS (811) NATURALIZE 7439 14 4 0 95 DRUID'S TOOLS (834) MATT CAIN 6725 13 5 0 95 WS ARMS 2012 (761) TERMINAL FRITZ 8147 17 2 1 94 WILD WINGS (910) BLACK MAGIC 9025 10 13 0 94 BLM BLACKOPS INC (1032) BLESSING OF WISDOM 7474 7 0 0 92 PALADIN'S TOOLS (841) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME THE RACK 8597 18 32 0 88 DUNGEON CELL (989) KNEE OF THE IDOL 8065 13 5 0 86 HAZAARDS OF CLONING (373) ACCIO 8314 8 2 0 83 HOGWART'S SPELLS (934) CHEATING SPOUSE 8055 10 6 0 80 HEART BREAKERS (695) CATSKILL 6667 6 1 0 80 NEW YORK (662) TOMBSTONE 6280 13 6 0 76 WESTERN FRONTIER (684) -NICHOLAS 7984 10 3 0 76 WARCKERS (811) SANTE FE 6008 13 7 2 74 WESTERN FRONTIER (684) NUSAKAN 8347 14 22 0 71 CORONA BOREALIS (941) KNEE OF THE IDLE 7928 9 10 1 71 HAZAARDS OF CLONING (373) -BLACK MAMBA 9024 10 4 1 70 BLM BLACKOPS INC (1032) TOTEMIC MIGHT 7544 5 1 1 68 SHAMANS TOOLS (844) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SARIN 8363 12 24 1 61 HERCULES (944) AUDIE MURPHY 8167 5 3 0 59 ARLINGTON GRAVES (914) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -SPRING FEVER 8067 5 1 0 59 HOME LIFE (818) SHADOW STEP 7427 7 4 0 57 ROGUE'S TOOLS (832) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ITALIAN HEATHER 6899 7 3 0 56 SCOTCH (720) -ALEXANDER 7829 6 7 2 54 WARCKERS (811) -GOODIE RING 7910 9 9 1 49 HOME LIFE (818) ARCANE SHOT 7461 5 1 0 44 HUNTER'S TOOLS (839) -BLACK RHINO 9021 7 3 0 43 BLM BLACKOPS INC (1032) RABID WOLVERINE 7916 3 3 0 37 BAD COMBINATIONS (716) -DEATH TOUCH 8058 6 3 1 35 WARCKERS (811) GRASSHOPPER 7853 5 6 0 35 CORDIALS (718) -ROUTE 66 8748 4 3 2 35 WESTERN FRONTIER (684) DART TRAP 7465 4 0 0 35 HUNTER'S TOOLS (839) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -NEE OF THE IDOL 8761 3 1 0 32 HAZAARDS OF CLONING (373) -ALOHAMORA 8312 2 2 0 31 HOGWART'S SPELLS (934) -CLAW 7438 4 4 0 30 DRUID'S TOOLS (834) -BLACK HAWK 9022 6 6 0 29 BLM BLACKOPS INC (1032) AMY FARRAH FOWLER 9084 1 1 0 26 NERD HERD II (1042) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -EXTRA TALL GLASS 8934 1 0 0 21 BWW ARLINGTON (911) -BLACK WIDOW 9023 4 7 0 20 BLM BLACKOPS INC (1032) -MERCURY THERMOMETER 8750 3 4 1 20 OUT OF THIS WORLD (697) -SNOW FLAKE 8926 3 3 0 20 HOME LIFE (818) -FOREST WITCH 9028 2 0 1 20 SECOND CHANCES (558) TRACKING 7464 2 1 0 19 HUNTER'S TOOLS (839) -HEAD CRUSHER 8613 2 2 0 18 DUNGEON CELL (989) -NIAGARA FALLS 8759 1 0 0 16 NEW YORK (662) URKL 9082 0 2 0 16 NERD HERD II (1042) -PRESIDENT TRUMP 8965 1 0 0 15 BAD COMBINATIONS (716) -MOSQUITO HERO 8963 2 0 0 14 SECOND CHANCES (558) WEAPON DELTA 82 9055 1 0 0 14 CHAMPIONS 1982 (1037) SHELDON COOPER 9085 1 1 0 14 NERD HERD II (1042) KITTY Y.22 9116 1 0 0 13 WISH LIST 22 (1049) LADY FUGU II 9100 1 0 0 13 POISONOUS INC II (1045) BELLA B. 9113 1 0 0 13 PAWGSIVEVER (1048) COCO T 9115 1 0 0 13 PAWGSIVEVER (1048) ADAM GOLDBERG 9081 1 0 0 13 NERD HERD II (1042) -PEANUT 9142 1 0 0 8 WARCKERS (811) BURT THE GEOLOGIST 9083 1 0 0 8 NERD HERD II (1042) BELLA B. 9104 0 1 0 5 PAWGSRUS22 (1046) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.
