DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It has been awhile since the Rodent Clan occupied this throne room. The last time we
were here, Mouse of Pain alerted the arena to the Shadowspire Codex, which is
essentially a diary for the revolving door of DMs. He also hung up a black velvet
painting of Managerr that Copernicus later removed. Well, I'm putting it back up,
Dopernicus! Slaughter Mouse 5 also gave me his Mannequin Chalice to add to the
decor. Taped to the bottom is the actual Kill Recipe that Mannequin shared with him.
Hint: It involves an equal amount of oregano, garlic and long sword. Now back to
the Codex. Before I add my entry, here is what the previous DM had written, which is
oddly done in crayons and filled with typos, including his name: "It is my last day
on the throne and as a going away gift I received another abacus from Elephant. I do
not know what it means. Also, told Ratter I have no interest in his team. Made up
story about challenging him for research. Don't think he bought it. Maybe I can get
Kellumbo to fight him and play the alliance card. Hee hee. Still no word back from
the commission regarding my proposal allowing DMs to challenge initiates." The rest
is just a list of manager names with new ones highlighted and starred. And for my
entry, I wrote about fumigating the place. ~ The Mad Ratter
SPY REPORT
Welcome SHADOWSPIRE. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Who can explain it?
Not you, not me, not LITERATE LOONS' opponents, after watching them shoot up the
ranks from 21st to 6th. You know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a
judge... BIG LAKE OUTCASTS moved up 11 places, to 9th. Looking for a good fight,
confident, skilled, tough opponents. Well don't look at ALE HOUSE MERCS, cause they
dropped by 12. Ever take one of those association tests? You know, he says black,
you say white. Water-Lake, Sky-Blue. Try this: Flop. ORCAE ITA! FUCHI OWNED
showed SHADOWSPIRE what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off
with 3-1-0. What's with MARY ELLEN? She actually beat WOODY'S WORKSHOP's BALL-PEEN,
and walked away with 26 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at WARMASTERS
while they watched WILHELM clobber TABITHA. She lost 18 points and got bruised from
objects thrown from the stands. See how the Duelmaster challenged CULT OF BACCHUS'
KARCH? That sort of initiative is how he got where he is now. I'm sure SHADOWSPIRE
is excited about KARCH, the new Duelmaster from CULT OF BACCHUS. (remember?) But
when you've seen as many as I have... I suppose you want to hear some rumors and
dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, KELLUMBO'S KIDS! The
bums at LA PENTARCHIE couldn't face the challenges from KELLUMBO'S KIDS! No excuse
for that! What do people see in TIN SNIPS? His 3-4-0? WOODY'S WORKSHOP ain't
talkin', but he's got 23 points. Keep challenging up 34 points, BRUTUS, and I won't
have to write about you much longer. TYRA always accepts those kind of challenges...
I don't get it. BRUTUS goes and challenges TYRA, way above him, but gets 2 points
after he loses! Is this a new strategy? WIMPY expects the easy win by going 16
points down. TWINK will find this a hard lesson! Just who can WIMPY beat? I mean,
the last matchup with lesser-ranked TWINK shoulda been a piece of cake! WARG of OF
WOLF AND MAN knows how to pick 'em. He challenged CHROMIAN of CULT OF BACCHUS who is
up by 21. Now was this a wise move? WARG perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as
he subdued CHROMIAN and ended up with 92 recognition points. I hate going to the
effort of writing about the kind of fights that INDIA gets in. She fights people
like HORSE, 13 points below. I thought INDIA showed great skill and promise when she
defeated HORSE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Warriors of SHADOWSPIRE unite. You have only your games to lose! Sending a
warrior to the Dark Arena reminds the others they'd better shape up. Tough beans,
THUNDERSAW. That's what a 6-12-2 gets you. We all knew it had to happen sooner or
later. A warrior can't stick around with a 6-5-0, and AWL easily took care of RED
HOOK. BALL-PEEN of WOODY'S WORKSHOP didn't know when to quit. When you've got a
9-11-0, that's a good sign. Now he's dead. OWL-EYES larned his lesson (RYAK
RAZORSAW taught it well), and we right likely won't be seein' 'im fight any BIG LAKE
OUTCASTS members with the same gusto. How long have I been here? I got people to
see, places to go...
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm
writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.
Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Liberius -- Nice challenge. I got to remember to look behind the corners next time.
I didn't see that one coming. -- Soulripper
Year of the Cat -- It may be the Year of the Cat, but it wasn't your day. A most
enjoyable fight. -- Death's Mistress
Year of the Cat -- Sorry about thinking you were a girl. I thought all of the "LA
PENTARCHIE" were female seeing the "LA" in your name. My apologies. -- Gentleben
Brian -- I don't need my head but I do need my knee. -- Headless Bill
Spirewolf -- Here doggie-doggie, maybe I have a milkbone or something. I guess your
bite is worse than your bark. -- Wyld Wytch
P.S. Hands of the Groin, what kind of slut do you think I am? We can do that later.
Iron Council -- Iron rusts in water and there is a lot of water in the sewers where
Kellumbo likes to hang. You might want to reconsider your partnership. -- Gentleben
P.S. If not, then your challenges are welcome; you have an open invitation to HELL.
Kellumbo -- PA's are free, so I will use as many on you as I like. -- Gentleben
Congrats to the Mad Ratter! Thanks to Swinetiger for adorning the top of the arena
with his nicely named warriors! -- Le Pentarque
He almost made it! Well, almost...Import-Export won't be able to celebrate the turn
50 with us...still he enjoyed the place and was the last one standing from my
original team. It's the end of the first era of Shadowspire! May many take the
place of the oldies. -- Le Pentarque
I killed a lot when I didn't want to, and didn't kill when I did want to. I am some
sort of failed freak in more than one way...will my partners in Talahya remember me?
-- Import-Export
Karch -- I have returned from the depths of the underworld, death's tight grasp
released when my soul's thirst for light overwhelmed the darkness. May we not meet
again. -- Po'd Panda
Elephant -- Good challenge on the lunger; now you are on the radar hehehe. -- Grimm
Return soon Master Darque. -- Grimm
Ok all you challenger champs, start graduating, the arena is FE top heavy and it
looks ugly on the way up. -- Grimm
Awl -- I now wish I was being bloodfeuded. -- SM5
Rat-Loving Cat -- With a name like that, I obviously can't challenge you this turn.
-- The Mad Ratter
Wyld Wytch -- Really? A challenge from you? With all the loud mouth stuff your
manager is throwing at Kellumbo, you need to be picking fights with someone else as
well? You might want to note how that challenge turned out. This wolf bites back.
-- Spirewolf
Dominatrix -- Almost. I almost held out long enough. But close doesn't get a
Caveman anything but a trip to the infirmary. -- Gron
Grath -- Now that was a nice little challenge. Thank your manager for not avoiding.
-- Balliol
Hunter -- I just hate it when someone turns things around on me. Nice challenge and
change of strat. -- the Baron
Commis -- Well, if you're going to fight like that you'll certainly have plenty of
time to think up new recipes. Boring stuff, if you ask me. -- Wormy
Remedial -- I guess that should be a lesson to me about what happens when you take
pity on an opponent and show him mercy. Instead of continuing to challenge you with
Wilhelm, I thought I'd give you a break with Pertacus. Bad move on my part and poor
Pertacus paid for it with his life. Lesson learned. We'll be seeing you on the
sands again real soon! -- Vanek, Manager of Warmasters
Gentle Ben -- Thanks! But don't worry, Kellumbo will get his in due time! Death is
part of the game; we all will eventually see it! -- DeGotti
Grimm -- PO'd Panda's death was not intentional. -- DeGotti

1. Announce the alliance and the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork
(DM 47) newsletter.
2. Announcements made on the D2 Forums will not be accepted.
Captains are responsible for:
1. Verifying those who wish to participate under the banner of their
alliance;
2. Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War.
3. Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate
Participating managers who are not Captains must:
1. Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate

a. No scores will be tabulated until a Gift Certificate is received.
No EXCEPTIONS.
b. Before a manager can compete, he/she must declare themselves in
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:
Win Loss Kill Die
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.
Bloodfeuds:
1. Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns.
2. There is no limit to which warrior may bloodfeud or how often.
Tournament Considerations:
1. Tournament participation is ALLOWED and encouraged.

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,
without penalty.

Certificates will be awarded to the Captain of the winning alliance. It is the
responsibility of the Captain to distribute Gift Certificates. Moderators will
submit a list of each manager on the winning alliance to RSI at the completion of the
contest for the non-Certificate prizes.

alliance);
3. Known Favorites for one warrior on each team of the winning alliance
