DeGotti stood up at the weekly Shadowspire manager meeting and cleared his throat before speaking!
"First off I would like to congratulate Vanek and his Warmasters for reaching
the ten kill mark! Secondly, I am proposing this as a fun side competition and mean
no disrespect to the teams already past the five kill mark."
"In a strange twist of fate it seems that teams six through eleven, Fuchi Owned,
my own stable, Cult of Bacchus, Of Wolf and Man, Rodent Clan, The Draugs and Ale
House Mercs are all deadlocked at four kills apiece. I would like to extended an
invitation to those fine teams to a competition to five kills!"
"What be the prize, you might ask? Well, there would be a huge celebration for
said team with fine food, wine and spirits provided by myself, but the part that I
like is a small golden statue will be given displaying the death shot of the famous
fifth kill! This trophy will be given to every team when they reach that fifth kill
status from this point out and will be aptly named after either the killed warrior or
the killing warrior, it would be up to the winning manager to decide!"
"If there is a tie for the fifth kill between two or more teams then the first
to six will decide but the fifth kill will be one made into the statue. If a team
goes beyond five in a single turn the first fight listed in the weekly fight section
will be the fifth kill."
"Good luck to you all and happy hunting!"

Ties were not counted because no one wins the award in the event of a tie. If ties
were counted, La Pentarchie and Kellumbo's Kids would tied at 7. Dragonbane Guild
would be a close second with 5. Darque Ages stands as the only team of the arena's
top 5 that has NEVER won the three turn award (tied once, but that doesn't count).
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Greetings Shadowspirians!
I will take this take this DM column to explore the train wreck that was my career in
this arena. Look at it as a "Behind the Duelmaster" exclusive.
I began my career with the reasonable numbers of 9-9-11-17-17-10-11. Not the
greatest in the world, but decent and runnable by my manager's standards. I was made
a Slasher because Joan had already chosen the Lunger's path and my manager likes a
little diversity on the team.
My career started off on the wrong foot with a quick loss to a Striker. My next
fight went well as I planted my opponent six feet under. For the next 3 turns, I
faced challenges from another SL and lost all three. I can't really complain about
it, after all, I did kill his teammate. Plus, I have the added satisfaction of
knowing that I'm now immortal and he is DEAD!
I squeezed out a few wins after the bloodfeud and stood at 4-6-1 after ten fights.
Normally this would get my manager's attention as a possible Dark Arena candidate,
but since this is a no tourney arena and I was one of the original five, Master
Darque did not give it much thought. I improved a bit in the next run of 10 fights
to stand at 9-11-1 after 20 turns. My teammate Copernicus got his invite this turn,
so I could easily see that the bar was pretty high for my expectations.
The next 10 turns were dreadful! I fell to 12-18 at the 30 FE mark and things were
not looking good for me as the competition at the top was loaded with warriors that
had beaten me previously. Still, Master Darque decided that he had invested too much
time and money into me and did not send me to the Dark Arena. He did remind me quite
often that if I were on any of his other teams that I would be fighting by torch
light.
My final stretch was by far my best as I have gone 8-3 and finally attained the DM
throne! The best I can hope for at this point is to win my final fight and leave for
the Isle with a .500 record.
I leave Shadowspire at 10+1-9-11-17-17-10-11. I bumped my Strength at 10 FE for a
damage boost to Good and didn't really see much difference in my performance. My
ending skills are 30-17-26-10-9-19. I learned 63 skills in 41 fights for an average
of 1.53 per fight (Darque says this was one of my problems). I am +1 in Initiative
and -1 in Attack. Apparently I like the GA, which I never used, and I like a VH
offensive effort with a VL activity level. I like to learn Attack skills, but Darque
had told me that long before the Commission shared its information.
I am now headed to Home Guard and off to retirement. I have enjoyed my many fights
here in Shadowspire (well, I would have enjoyed them more if I won more of them).
I'm not exactly sure who will be receiving my challenges this turn or my avoids, so I
will only say may the strongest attain the throne!
Your Duelmaster,
Chaucer
P.S. My manager also says that some of you need to write more personal ads! It is
okay to miss them from time to time, but it should not be the norm!
SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
SHADOWSPIRE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. With any luck, I can sneak into
The Swinging Aardvark and join FURRY FURY's celebration over their good record this
turn. 6th place, not bad. Oh, this is too good to be true! FUCHI OWNED has fallen
to 19th place after going 1-4-0 this turn. Who's bragging now? Why not, I'm having
a good day, so I feel sorry for KELLUMBO'S KIDS, who went 0-5-0 and dropped 13 into
21st. Here's my pity, for what it's worth. Now let's all watch CULT OF BACCHUS'
heads swell from their 4-1-0 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big
deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BORNE win a fight and gain 25
points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, GRON DA CAVEMAN beat ONYX and ONYX lost 18 points.
You're breakin' my heart. DESIREE challenged SHADOWSPIRE's Duelmaster for a shot at
the throne. And if variety is the spice of life, SHADOWSPIRE may be getting bland,
as CHAUCER 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, SHADOWSPIRE?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. What's the big D? OF WOLF AND MAN was the most
avoided team? Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse... And who led
the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was
WARMASTERS. Ha ha ha ha! Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, NIGHTBANE was this turn's
most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I notice LUTHERIUS
challenging down 30 points to fight DEXTER, WARMASTERS doubtless has some rotten
excuse for such an insult to honor. And sorry to say, LUTHERIUS defeated DEXTER,
leaving a bad feeling with the crowd. I think exploitive snob is the term I'm
looking for. KOBE was challenged by one of WARMASTERS' warriors this turn, with
BRUTUS having a lead of 30 points going into the fight. Ha ha aha ha aha ha!!!
BRUTUS was was subdued by by KATHOUSE's warrior! Thank the gods for big favors! ha!
Now look at this. RHINO challenged down 24 against KATHOUSE's LANNY. What a weasel!
This is the sort of thing that makes the price of admission to SHADOWSPIRE's games
worth it! RHINO lost to LANNY!! I notice '67 FIREBIRD challenging down 17 points to
fight TRIGGER, AMERICAN MUSCLE doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult to
honor. Question now is, will SHADOWSPIRE accept this sort of tacky behavior? '67
FIREBIRD beating TRIGGER. The insult, the....yech! '69 STINGRAY was challenged by
one of BATTLE GRUNTS' warriors this turn, with BEAR having a lead of 18 points going
into the fight. BEAR lost to '69 STINGRAY! Ok, BEAR want to fight my grandmother
next turn? Huh?
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Gee, FUCHI OWNED, ain't it past due for sending THE
CLAPPER Dark Arena? What took ol' '11-7-0' so long? Hope? Ha ha aha ha! And what
a stunning loss we have here, boys and girls, RAPAX JUNIOR of LA PENTARCHIE has added
the final loss to his 5-7-0. Tee hee! Bye bye, warrior, bye bye... SCARRO, a
glorious 8-8-1 fighter, has passed away. Gee, too bad WARMASTERS. And now a passing
thought on a warrior dying young (PAULY'S PET POODLE of AMERICAN MUSCLE): You had
your chance and now you're dead. Oh well... And what a stunning loss we have here,
boys and girls, MIRADRAUG of THE DRAUGS has added the final loss to his 5-3-0. Tee
hee! We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you
sooner that later?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. 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

well fought fight. Perhaps again in the future--the same outcome would be great too!
-- Petrarch
Pauly's Pet Poodle -- Do you realize the shame that I carry by losing to anything
with the name Pauly's Pet [insert anything here]. At least it wasn't Laverne and I
still have my head and my horse's too! -- Martin Luther
Dagrdraug -- In the realm of random match ups, I guess it was in my favor. Still a
nice fight, but not one that I want to repeat too often. -- Gutenberg
Gigi Divine -- I loathe your kind. Not really, but I can think of nothing more to
say to one who has defeated me. -- Hugh Capet
All -- Well, I thought that I had sent in challenges, avoids, and personal ads.
After looking at my fights and the NL, none of them appear to have made it! I guess
it did work out well with Chaucer fighting for the title and getting his invite
though, so who am I to complain. -- Master Darque
All -- If you have any ideas for the SYP or any statistics you would like to see, let
me know. If it isn't too complicated, I can compile it. If you ask for something
strange, it may take me longer to compile than a regular turn cycle. -- SYP Editor
What's up with all you big talkers on the D2 site but hardly a peep out of you all
here in the PA's? What gives? -- DeGotti
e.e. cummings -- Salute to you, sir! I overlooked you as being a PL! I hope to join
you soon enough as Shadowspire's second PLer graduate! -- Flor
Congrats to all the new 100 win teams here! And a huge congrats to Warmasters for
reaching the 10 kill plateau. -- DeGotti
That ugly holidays dealt a blow to my number of fights, but finally they are over!
I'm back! And I'm happy to present another crappy but valiant rookie, Year of the
Cat. Some of you will easily guess why I gave him this name. -- Le Pentarque
Congrats to MDarque for Chaucer. Time to bet now: will he make the Big Slam? -- Le
Pentarque
I am getting depressed: will I have to carry a torch? -- Guthuater
Angus -- Thanks for that beautiful fight. -- Import-Export
Thanks to Vanek and all the other managers who cheered during the Ftf. -- The Small
Cat
Back to your PAs, lazy worms! -- Le Pentarque
Welcome to Captain Billy and the Pentagonal Pink! Here's hopin' you made it by turn
42! -- Nomad and the Dragonbane Guild
A win on my way out the door! (Thanks Borne) Fare you well Shadowspire! I shall
await your immortals on the Isle! -- Lord Protector Hardrada
Morte D'Amour -- I think I'm now at the stage of "I'll take any win I can get!"
Thanks for the W. -- Baron Stonewall
Desiree -- Losing to a Kid--so embarrassing! You do realize I would prefer to face
your teammates, don't you? -- Gron
Dominatix -- Nice challenge! I liked that one! -- Balliol
Xinu -- I will keep that one in mind. A good challenge for you it seems. -- Maharion
Congratulations to those teams breaking the 100 barrier--there are beginning to be
too many to name. Also, a grim 'grats, I suppose, to those who are good at bringing
a dueling career to an end--the Warmasters. First to ten kills is an accomplishment,
no matter how grim. -- Nomad and the Guild
17 July 2008
All -- Many of you know me and many more don't, but I will be scarce for a few
months. I am relocating, so look for my presence online! As my will, so mote it
be! -- Abraxis
9 August 2008
All -- We are currently looking for capable manager that will give the Desolate
Empire Alliance a full roster for the Turf War. We currently have four (4) roster
slots that are open to capable managers without questionable morals. If interested
for the Turf War, contact: Lamar Treas-Wilson, Dok Sik, Dok Sik Killas DM 47

the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter as stated above AND be verified
by the alliance Captain they will represent.
c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. No multiple teams or
aliases will be allowed. Violations will result in immediate
disqualification from the Turf War (so be sure to take any
multiple teams OFF of Team Maintenance).
d. Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams that do not properly
declare or fail to send a Gift Certificate by Turn 1. In other
words, if your Gift Certificate is not received until Turn 3 of
the Turf War, and you have fought on Turns 1 and 2, your scoring
will not begin until Turn 3. All conditions must be met before
scoring will begin--declaration, verification, and Gift
Certificate received.
e. No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 5 of
the Turf War.
f. For purposes of scoring, the moderators will score the Turf War
and settle any and all disputes as they arise. Their decisions
will be final.
Scoring will be as follows for Fights:

Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5
Match Up +1 -1 +1 -5
Bloodfeud +2 -5 +5 -10
Champion x2 x2 x2 x2
Dark Arena* +10 -5 xx xx
*After 2nd win, warrior scores no points for wins
Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows:
Spy Report mention (team name only) +2
Style Master +2
Duelmaster +2
Champions:
1. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory.
2. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time.
3. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior in the arena, but
not the Dark Arena, may be replaced.
4. Champions must be in the Adepts bracket or lower on the turn they are
declared, and may NOT have gone above Adepts level at any time; this
includes teams transferred into North Fork for the Turf War.

tournament results in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter (i.e., if the
results post on North Fork turn 275, points will be credited on North
Fork turn 276 to the applicable teams).
Special Considerations:
1. Each alliance begins the Turf War with zero (0) points.
2. There will be NO alliance or team changes once the contest has begun. If
you begin the Turf War with Alliance A, you must end the Turf War with
Alliance A. If you begin the Turf War with Team A, you must end the Turf
War with Team A.
3. There will be a maximum of seven (7) teams allowed per alliance for the
Turf War.
4. The Dark Arena may be used on the first turn only, of every warrior,
