  THEREFORE THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who have 
  borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside every encumbrance 
  (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily (deftly and cleverly) clings to 
  and entangles us, and let us run with patient endurance and steady and active 
  persistence the appointed course of the race that is set before us, --- Hebrews 
  12:1 Amplified Classic

                                      * * * * *

Ironhand, the owner of The Golden Ship Inn, stood before the small crowd that had 
gathered and motioned for his guests to have a seat with a sweeping wave of the steel 
hook that had replaced his right hand after a bloody engagement between his ship and 
another ten years ago.

Because of the location of The Golden Ship Inn, standing on a headland overlooking the 
main harbor on Kaltos, the disrepair of the dilapidated Kaltos Arena could not be 
seen.  From the turret on top of the inn, one could look across to Lord Lindharrow's 
castle on the opposite horn of the little bay and see all the shipping sheltered 
within.

But this evening was not about castles and shipping, but rather how a once magnificent 
Kaltos Arena could possibly be restored to some of its former glory.

Although Lindharrow of Vandal's Bay is the Protector of Kaltos, the island's 
representative on the Crown Council and the closest thing to a governor, it was not 
Lindharrow that Ironhand had brought before the gathered crowd, but rather it was 
Arenamaster Troktai and another rather special guest.  There are few laws in Kaltos 
and those that exist are not rigorously enforced, which is why Ironhand chose to 
invite Arenamaster Troktai to address the issue of the dilapidated Kaltos Arena.

Arenamaster Troktai got directly to the point, without a lot of pomp and circumstance, 
by introducing a Veteran Manager, known far and wide as Hammer, who had recently 
returned to Alastari. One of his motivations for returning was to host a contest in a 
fast arena that would hearken back to the glory of the Hammer hosted Morya Madness 
that had begun over 17 years ago and concluded over 15 years ago: 28 rounds of Madness 
in Morya Arena that Hammer desired to emulate in Kaltos arena for 25 rounds!

Hammer stood before the small crowd to unveil his plan to rejuvenate Kaltos Arena (DM 
5) at the behest of Arenamaster Troktai, including an announcement of the upcoming 
Kaltos Kaos contest to be held in the currently sparsely populated Delarq Arena (4 of 
7 active in Kaltos arena as of turn 912).  Kaltos arena had fallen into a bit of 
disrepair with the sparse revenue generated from even sparser crowds, but the much 
needed revenue from a 25 turn contest beginning with T-926 (due date 2/1/21) and 
ending with T-950 (due date 1/3/22) would provide more than enough for repairs and 
improvements for the overall prosperity of Kaltos Arena!

Hammer had also succeeded in purchasing the northeast section of Kaltos arena to build 
his Klub Kaltos, as an act of good faith that the Kaltos Kaos contest would attract 
enough managers, both old and new, to pump new life into a once glorious arena!  Klub 
Kaltos would feature some of the finest dining and gambling venues that Kaltos had 
ever seen, plus provide a training area and housing for the stable that Hammer was 
entering for the Kaltos Kaos.

Five of his retired Lord Protectors had been lured by the Veteran Manager to help make 
Klub Kaltos a success, by providing future patrons the opportunity to rub shoulders 
with some of his legendary Lord Protectors from the early years of Hammer's managerial 
history.

Zebra of Jungle Fever (DM 39), a Total Parry with a Short Sword as his favorite 
weapon, who was the only Hammer-managed warrior to ever TV in a tourney, had agreed to 
oversee the dining area and mingle with the crowd. He had won a TV in a Novices 
tourney (1 or 2 FE) long ago at a Tempe Facer, before the Novices tourney had been 
eliminated from tournaments by the Gladiatorial Commission.

Death Duck 1, a Basher with a Morningstar favorite weapon, along with Death Duck 7, a 
Piker favoring a Small Shield as her favorite weapon, had both fought in Kaltos Arena 
years ago as representatives of Da Deadly Ducks, the first Hammer managed stable to 
ever run in Kaltos. Da Deadly Ducks duo were now assigned as celebrities to run the 
Klub Kaltos gambling facilities.

Mahatsawd, a Basher favoring a Mace as his favorite weapon, along with Madkawraw?s 
Law, a Ripper favoring an Epee as her favorite weapon, were both from the veteran 
manager?s first-ever stable that began fighting on Noblish Island under the Milchamah 
banner.

Hammer introduced the duo as two of his favorite warriors from his original stable, 
Milchamah, who the veteran manager had convinced to come to Klub Kaltos to train the 
stable that Hammer was entering in the Kaltos Kaos Klassick Kontest Kompetition.  Klub 
Kaltos, the veteran manager explained to the gathered crowd, included a gladiator 
training facility where his stable of warriors, who Hammer was entering in the Kaltos 
Kaos, would be housed for training in private as well as featured in some public 
exhibition matches for his gambling facilities.

A ripple of excited cheers arose from the five Gladiators that had been languishing in 
oblivion these past several years during the absence of the veteran manager, their 
stable all-but-forgotten, but Hammer raised both his hands and stared somberly at his 
rusty relics, before announcing publicly:

"You have been transferred to Storm Point arena!"

The Veteran Manager had to break the news to his Kaltos Kriminals (514) stable that 
they had been transferred to Storm Point Arena (DM 86) because of two of the contest 
categories that were to be the highlights of the Kaltos Kaos (as had the same two 
categories also been the contest category highlights in the original Morya Madness 
contest that Hammer had hosted those many long years ago!), namely, the First Initiate 
Duelmaster and the Top Ten Fighting Styles.  Obviously, the only eligible warriors to 
win this prize are those who are listed in the Initiates rankings on the first 
round/Turn 926 or later!  Therefore, the Kaltos Kriminals with 4 arena fight 
experience, namely Assault N Battery, Wanted For Murder, Shady Larry LaRue and Trick 
Ponie Polly, would probably not be eligible to compete for the First Initiate 
Duelmaster [after fighting in either one or both of the two upcoming tourneys], nor 
for one of the Top Ten Fighting Styles!

Upon hearing "You have been transferred to Storm Point arena!" the Kaltos Kriminals 
were crestfallen!

    The RSI approved prize for the First Initiate Duelmaster is the opportunity 
    to rename the DM 5 arena for 6 months.

    The RSI approved prize for each of the Top Ten Fighting Styles is the 
    favorite weapon knowledge reveal for any one of a contest-registered team?s 
    active warriors on round 25/Turn 950.  Eligible warriors must declare their 
    name and fighting style in the DM 5 personal ads on the first round that they 
    enter the Kaltos Kaos.  All warriors must have 0 arena fight experience to 
    enter as a Top Ten Fighting Style competitor and must rank as an 0-1 or 1-0 
    Initiate after their first arena fight experience! 

In other words, any warrior ranked as a Challenger Initiate with more than one arena 
fight experience after their fight debut is automatically disqualified to compete for 
one of the Top Ten Style awards, so choose your tournament entries wisely!  It gives 
non-tourney managers the opportunity to compete for a Top Ten Fighting Style prize! 
[Tourney warriors may die!]

This obviously eliminates the four Kaltos Kriminals mentioned above, because they 
already have 4 arena fights; therefore, only Cooking The Books would be eligible to 
compete with 0 arena fight experience!

    First Initiate Duelmaster contenders include every warrior on a registered 
    team that is ranked as an Initiate after the first round in the DM 5 Turn 926 
    newsletter. [This includes tourney experienced warriors and warriors who have 
    fought in DM 5 on previous turns.]

"You have been transferred to Storm Point Arena!" resonated in their ears as Hammer's 
Kaltos Kriminals grumbled a bit at being denied the opportunity to compete in the 
Kaltos Kaos, which had a rippling effect throughout the sparse crowd.  Arenamaster 
Troktai stepped forward while Hammer spent a few minutes talking privately to his 
Kaltos Kriminals stable.

Arenamaster Troktai raised his hands to quiet the small crowd as he proclaimed that 
the winner of the most 'This Week's Most Favorite Warrior' and the winner of the most 
'This Week's Least Favorite Warrior' would be awarded the first choice to change the 
name and statements of the Dark Arena monster of their choice [with exception of the 
Arenamaster himself] and the first choice to change the name and statements of the NPC 
character of their choice, respectively.

    RSI Prize: Rename and Change the Statements of a DM 5 Dark Arena Monster of 
    your choice [excepting the Arenamaster] is awarded to the team with the most 
    'This Week's Most Favorite Warrior' awards listed over the course of the 
    contest.

    RSI Prize: Rename and Change the Statements of a DM 5 NPC Character of your 
    choice is awarded to the team with the most 'This Week's Least Favorite 
    Warrior' awards listed over the course of the contest.

Arenamaster Troktai went on to proclaim that the remaining Dark Arena monsters and NPC 
characters that were not chosen by the two winners will be placed in a drawing pool 
[to change the name and statements] from which the remaining Kaltos Kaos registered 
managers would be selected, as bonus prizes for merely being registered for the Kaltos 
Kaos! The first 20 managers to register for the Kaltos Kaos & the host & co-scorer are 
guaranteed to automatically be entered in the random draw!

Arenamaster Troktai motioned for Hammer to conclude the announcements of the other

    applied to a single DM 5 warrior who died during the contest or within 6 
    months of the contest).

    The turn 950 Duelmaster will also be awarded the following RSI Prize: Move 1

Hammer concluded his announcement with a hearty handshake between himself and 
Arenamaster Troktai, who promised the small crowd at The Golden Sail Inn that the 
Kaltos Kaos would draw some of the most competitive managers and teams that Kaltos DM 
5 had ever seen bleed on the arena sands!

"Well Wishes and Good Luck to All Involved," says the Co-Scorer who will be posting 
updates in the Forums as well as helping Hammer keep track of the Kontest Kategories 
over the Kourse of 25 rounds!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in DWES EG this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  I understand that The Swinging Aardvark is buying 
the drinks for ROOKIE PINK 14 tonight, to honor their rise to 5th after this turns 
1-0-0.  Hmmm.  Now, what did these guys have for breakfast this morning?  MEDAL OF 
HONOR AAA has turned a 1-0-0 into 7th place from 23rd.  Give me the recipe!  I want 
to know who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The Swinging Aardvark, seeing as 
CHOPPERS' 8-5-0 has earned them 8th place in the ranks.  Now, what did these guys 
have for breakfast this morning?  CRIMSON RAGE has turned a 1-0-1 into 13th place 
from 30th.  Give me the recipe!  I understand that The Swinging Aardvark is buying 
the drinks for STANT tonight, to honor their rise to 14th after this turns 1-0-0.  
Hmmm.  I want to know who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The Swinging 
Aardvark, seeing as ROOKIE PINK 15's 3-4-0 has earned them 15th place in the ranks.  
It doesn't rain, but it pours for STONED ROOKIES 38 this turn, a 0-1-0 causing a 12 
flight drop in the team rankings.  Hand that team a dry towel.  Now, what did these 
guys have for breakfast this morning?  ROOKIE ARMADA 30 has turned a 1-0-0 into 19th 
place from 35th.  Give me the recipe!  I understand that The Swinging Aardvark is 
buying the drinks for GRATING TUNES tonight, to honor their rise to 20th after this 
turns 1-0-0.  Hmmm.  I want to know who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The 
Swinging Aardvark, seeing as I'M A's 15-12-0 has earned them 21st place in the ranks. 
Our condolences (or sneers, as the case may be) go out to ROOKIE ARMADA 12 for their 
drop to 23rd from 12th.  A 0-1-0 can do that.  ROOKIE ARMADA 52 must be either in 
pain, or numb, having dropped from 7th to 26th this turn, with a 0-1-0 acting as the 
weight.  I understand that The Swinging Aardvark is buying the drinks for ROOKIE 
ARMADA 54 tonight, to honor their rise to 27th after this turns 1-0-0.  Hmmm.  It 
doesn't rain, but it pours for TROOPERS this turn, a 0-1-0 causing a 12 flight drop 
in the team rankings.  Hand that team a dry towel.  Our condolences (or sneers, as 
the case may be) go out to BIG STRONG MEN for their drop to 29th from 10th.  A 0-2-0 
can do that.  ROOKIE CULT 9 must be either in pain, or numb, having dropped from 22nd 
to 40th this turn, with a 0-1-0 acting as the weight.  It doesn't rain, but it pours 
for EXOTIC BREWS this turn, a 0-1-0 causing a 16 flight drop in the team rankings.  
Hand that team a dry towel.  Our condolences (or sneers, as the case may be) go out 
to G FORCER for their drop to 45th from 34th.  A 0-1-0 can do that.  And let's see, 
QUICKS fought SNIPS and gained 83 points and contributed to LAST STRAW's 1-0-0.  
COMFORTABLY NUMB has lost to FARO, falling 11 points, while helping make ROOKIE PINK 
64 a 2-1-0 turn.  And not without some honor, ALTAN now claims the title and throne 
of Duelmaster of DWES EG.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, 
cramped under the table at The Swinging Aardvark?   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  I also notice that the INK & STEEL X stable 
was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on DWES EG, what are you afraid of?  And 
guess who avoided INK & STEEL X stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was ROOKIE 
ARMADA 4.  Anyone surprised?   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  We'd like to remind certain teams 
not to rob the graves of their enemies.  You know who you are; and it's considered 
rude.   
     I like this place, DWES EG, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep 
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets 
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

                     SECOND DELUXE ARVAT CONTEST EXTRAORDINAIRE

Who can join?  Anyone with a team in Arvat as of 11/1/2020.

When does it start?  First turn due after 11/1/2020.

How long does it run?  13 turns.

How do I join?  Announce your manager name and team name in the Arvat newsletter prior 
to 11/1/2020 and state that you are entering the contest.  Prior to the contest 
actually starting you need to have 2 rollup certs sent to the Dark One care of RSI.  
No sheets, no contest.

How do I win the contest?  The team which has accrued the most points as of the end of 
the 13th turn is the winner.  The team which has the 2nd most points is declared the 
runner up.  And the team which has the 3rd most points is declared honorable 
contender.  Everyone else is a loser and should be ridiculed.

How do I score points?

1.  Every challenge you win vs. another team in the contest = 10 points, as long as 
    that challenge is to a warrior equal to or above yours in the rankings.  Except 
    for the Duelmaster who can challenge anyone he wants.

2.  You also earn bonus points for every challenge won.  For every point of 
    recognition your target is ranked above you, you earn one bonus point.  This is 
    for challenges only.

3.  If you are challenged by a warrior below you and defeat him, you will gain 5 
    points.

4.  Also every random matchup that you win will earn you 5 points ? up or down.

5.  You CAN downchallenge, however you get no points for doing so, and if you are 
    beaten, your opponent will earn 10 points and the right to ridicule you in the 
    newsletter.

6.  Bloodfeud challenges count just like regular challenges during the contest.

7.  In addition there are the following bonus points that are awarded each turn:

 A.  Duelmaster earns 10 points

 B.  Graduating a warrior earns 10 points

 C.  Recognition Leader (Chartered or Unchartered) earns 5 points (if the Duelmaster 
     is the recognition leader as well, then only the DM points apply)

 D.  Popularity Leader earns 5 points

 E.  Turn?s most popular earns 5 points

 F.  Top team on the move earns 5 points

 G.  Current Top team earns 10 points

 H.  Any warrior that earns a Tournament Champion in either the January FTF or April 
     Mail In  earns 20 points

 I.  Any warrior that earns a Tournament Victor in either of those tournaments earns 
     10 points

 J.  Note that Top Chartered and Unchartered team awards do NOT earn points

What are the rules regarding other teams in the arena?  If you challenge any warriors 
not participating in the contest you LOSE 20 points, unless the challenged warrior is 
the Duelmaster.  It is always acceptable to challenge the Duelmaster.  HOWEVER ? if 
you are challenged by a team not in the contest, you may challenge back the following 
turn.  If you win that challenge you will get 10 points.

If any manager has a 2nd (or 3rd) team in the arena they may NOT challenge any warrior 
of any team participating in the contest or they are DISQUALIFIED. 

What do I win if I win this contest? 

1.  The winner wins all of the rollup certificates given as entry fee for the contest.  
    In addition, the winner gets to pick 3 of the prizes below.

2.  The runner up gets to pick 2 of the prizes below.

3.  The honorable contender gets to pick one of the prizes below.

In addition, all competitors in the contest who run all 13 turns and at least 62 total
