TEAM SPOTLIGHT
The Wheel of Misfortune: Kolact DM 10
Overview
A contest for Kolact (DM 10) that runs 12 turns (starting turn 889, due 02/03/2020).
Squads will consist of four (4) teams. One (1) team per manager. Participating
managers may not run multiple teams in the arena during the contest.
Premise
Master Darque is fiddling with Chaos Gates again, which creates CHAOS and randomness
during the contest. Turn 1 (Kolact turn 889) and Turn 12 (Kolact turn 900) will be
scored using STANDARD scoring (explained below). Turns 2 through 11 will use a wide
variety of scoring mechanisms and will be randomly determined as the contest
progresses using a random generator. The scoring mechanisms will be posted in Kolact's
newsletter two (2) turns in advance, as well as on the D2 website under the contest
forums.
Entry
Entry into the contest is open to anyone who meets the following criteria:
1) Form a squad. A squad will consist of four (4) managers. No more, no less. This
means there will be NO single manager teams. You must choose a name for your squad.
2) Each manager must declare their intention to participate in the contest BEFORE Turn
1 of The WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE contest (No exceptions will be made). Declarations must
include: 1) TEAM NAME, 2) MANAGER NAME, 3) PARTNERS' NAMES, and 4) SQUAD'S NAME, and
may be submitted by any of the following means:
a. A personal ad in DM 10
b. A diplomatic note to Darque Ages (29) in DM 81
c. An email to rebelnerfherder@yahoo.com with WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE in

**NOTE: Failure to meet this criteria by the deadline will result in NO ENTRY into the
contest. Please be mindful of the requirements and submit them in a timely manner to
avoid any misfortunes.

SPY REPORT
I can't believe the violence in ERINIKA! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... Like, MYTHOS 14 had to be so
embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by BASH BROS YUPPIE! Way to go BASH
BROS YUPPIE! I don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or anything, but MYTHOS 14 really
goofed with their 1-0-0. MVP award for SIR GARLON? MYTHOS 7's proud of him after
beating WRENCH and getting 10 points. Talk about yer major upsets! WRENCH's match
with SIR GARLON cost him a loss of 5 points! This Duelmaster is like something else!
CALISTA stopped VENEMOUS CONCUBINE dead in his tracks! Is the Duelmaster really
being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte
