                        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 
          the Subject Line.

**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

Hello, duel fans!  Great to see you in Shadowspire.  We . . . uh, are gonna have to 
make this a quick spy report today [peers suspiciously around the arena].  I . . . uh, 
have some other stuff, personal stuff going on that needs my attention, so I will get 
you through the important arena news, then I need to high-tail it . . . ahem, leave in 
an orderly, non-hurried and certainly not fearful manner.  Okay, let's see what 
happened today!

Ginsu defended the throne against a worthy adversary in Pretty Petunia this cycle.  It 
looked good on papyrus . . . boy, did it look good on papyrus!  Ginsu has been carving 
his way through the rankings of late though, so the safe bet would have been on him.  
In my defense, argh, I mean it can be said that Petunia would be a perfectly logical 
assumption to perhaps win and maybe even take the fight into later minutes.  
:::::sobbing::::  Ginsu remains the Duelmaster and even got an invite this turn to the 
Isle.  Congratulations to Ginsu, who is managed by Ganolus over at the Oakleaf guild.

The most avoided team is Philthy's Inebriation guild.  They were most avoided by 
Plague Wraiths.  The most challenged warrior has already been mention in this spy 
report.  Pretty Petunia got lots of requests to dance or date or fight or whatever!  
People like her!  Ginsu was the one that got the call though, and we have already seen 
the results of that fight.  ::::low sobbing:::  Just give me a moment!

Wicked Martyrs slips into the top spot with an 11-4-1 record.  The next three teams in 
our rankings, Big Lake Solution, Oakleaf, and Darque Ages are nipping at the martyrs' 
heels with 10 wins.  Pray the Gods was inactive, so they do not technically count for 
our list, so the 5th spot goes to Clan Longbeard.  Outside of the Dark Arena, veteran 
warrior Whing, a Clan Longbeard member, was killed by Princess Hoyt in a random match 
up.  We will see if Visionist's crew will retaliate next turn! 

Okay, LP Ginsu is leaving, so who is going to step up and take over the throne.  We 
know that we will have a new Duelmaster, but which Challenger Champion will it be?  
Will it even be a Challenger Champion?  Who wants to take that bet?!  Anyone?  Okay, I 
really need to get out of here!

Look, the truth is I made a big wager on the games and I lost!  I can't exactly pay my 
bookie right now, but I'm good for it . . .  you know!  The problem is he isn't 
exactly the patient type!  So, I have to jet and need to lay low for a while, at least 
until I figure out how to cover . . . I mean, until I get the money, which I totally 
have at this moment.  So, I might see you next cycle or I might be in Snowbound.  
Yeah, tell everyone I'm in Snowbound if anyone starts asking around!  ::whispers::  I 
won't be in Snowbound.  ::wink:: Until next time, ya bums!
