                                  WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE
                                     DM 45 VERSION

Do you want to join an arena contest with cool prizes, but always have trouble finding 
a partner?  Fret not!  I have just the contest for you!  No partners needed.  
Stormcrowe (DM 45) will be hosting a contest for single teams.  The rules are exactly 
the same as the current WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE contest in Kolact (DM 10), but for single 
teams!

Here is all the pertinent information so you can join us for a festive time in 
Stormcrowe!

Overview

A contest for Stormcrowe (DM 45) that runs 10 turns (starting turn 424, due 
05/19/2020).  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 (Stormcrowe turn 424) and Turn 10 (Stormcrowe turn 433) 
will be scored using STANDARD scoring (explained below).  Turns 2 through 9 will use a 
wide variety scoring mechanisms and will be randomly determined as the contest 
progresses using a random generator.  The scoring mechanisms will be posted in 
Stormcrowe'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) Bring a team to Stormcrowe (DM 45).

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 A) TEAM NAME and B) MANAGER NAME.  You can submit a declaration by:

     d. Private Message in the Duel2 Chatzy channel

                                 DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
                             Notes from the arena champ.

Fellow Gladiators,

I can think of a hundred other places I would rather be right now than sitting on this 
throne with a bull's eye painted on me!  Ascending through the ranks quickly is great 
if you time it right and make it out of the arena.  Reaching this seat with only 14 FE 
and a Challenger Champions division filled with Strikers, a Lunger, and a Basher (oh 
my), and it the big chair feels a little overwhelming!

I have no idea who Darque is going to have me challenge, so I'll just wait until the 
day of the matches to find out.  A curse upon whoever it is!

There isn't much else to share because I still have, hopefully MANY, turns left in the 
arena!  Soooo, let's just see if I can live to see graduation!

                                             -- Duelmaster Castillon

                                      SPY REPORT

An epidemic has gripped the city of Shadowspire!  An experimental dish made from bat, 
being dubbed "Batatouille" was served at Otto's Diner and has caused many of the 
patrons to contract a dangerous virus.  In response, arena attendees have called for 
the Dark Arena death of Bat Penatar.  She is in no way related to the outbreak or 
associated with Otto's Diner, but arena spectators have never allowed facts to 
interfere with a good case of paranoia!

Ticket sales were plummetting before Commission officials barred fans from attending 
the games.  We are in a state of emergency!  The games continue, but the crowds are 
non-existent today as the Isle of the Eye and Commission officials conduct further 
tests and have closed the arena to non-essential personnel.  We will keep you updated 
as the situation progresses!

********************

Welcome back to Shadowspire!  Oh wait, no one is actually here to watch the games.  
You are entirely dependent upon my journalistic integrity and eye details to describe 
them to you!  What a glorious day . . . for someone, but that someone is neither you 
nor me!  I'm not a color commentator.  Just the facts, ma'am . . . and sir!  Oh well, 
I'll do my best to explain it to you.  I might even slow down so a few of you can 
catch up and possibly understand.  No promises though!

Leper's Other Hand had to defend the throne because he did not get an invite last 
turn.  Unlike many arenas, Shadowspire had a nice collection of Challenger Champions 
that LOH could challenge, but the caveat is that they could also challenge him!  It 
looks as if Pavil took wanted to take his shot at ultimate glory and face Leper's 
Other Hand!  It was an exciting 3-minute match, but in the end, Pavil is our newest 
Duelmaster!  Congrats to Pavil, the arena's top Total Parry! He is managed by 
Visionist.  No invite this turn, so we get to see a title defense next turn!  Exciting 
times, I tell ya!  Exciting times! 

Pray the Gods is the most avoided team in Shadowspire!  As one who is doing my best to 
social distance from everyone, I would gladly welcome this distinction for the next 
few months.  Can you avoid spy reporters?  I know most of you do already, I meant in 
the arena! Anyway, Pray the Gods was mostly avoided by Big Lake Solution.  What does a 
1-8-1 record get you?  Well, it gets you lots of challenges! Bent Paddle is this 
turn's most challenged.  Lucky (or unlucky) for Bent Paddle, only one warrior can face 
you on the sands.  BP was blood feuded by James Dickey and lost in a 1-minute fight.

There were 7 deaths this turn, but most of them took place in the Dark Arena.  The 
lone death on the regular sands came when Ridwan matched up with Calais.  It was a 
long match, but those young warriors rarely know how to hold back from a killing 
stroke!  I guess next turn we get to see if Darque Ages will exact any revenge for the 
random killing.

Wicked Martyrs catapults into 1st place, moving up from 9th. Inebriation, the former 
number one, slipped down to 2nd.  Cult of Bacchus also moves down into 3rd, while Big 
Lake Solution moves up into 4th.  OHS Alumni closes out the top 5 with a 5-position 
climb. Shanghaied was absent this turn, so they pass the award for the biggest drop to 
Darque Ages.  Wicked Martyrs' 8-point gain in the rankings is the largest for the 
turn.

Time for me to go, ya bums!  Don't forget to wash your hands!  And when you think that 
you are better than everyone else and the rules don't apply to you, WASH YOUR HANDS!  
You can also just stay away from me!  This isn't quarantine related, I just don't want 
any of you smelly gladiators in my vicinity, especially after the fights.  The 
Commission needs to invest in some incense for the gladiator pits!

Til next time!
