                         Reflections by the Chief Tower Guard

Can't say I was expecting this preferred treatment.  I came to the arena, fought like
I always do, and they rewarded my victory with a comfy chair to sit in for the rest
of the day.  Sure would've been nice if the benefits continued after fight day, but
nope.  Screw the mint on the pillow - my bed's not even made.  The guild house is a
dump, the bath water hasn't been changed in days, and I'm pretty sure I saw a new
species of bug in the supper vat.  I signed up for this gladiator mess because
fighting for Suave was supposed to be easy.  He doesn't care much about wins and
losses.  He barely swings by the arena anymore.  But he was supposed to have decent
upkeep of the living quarters!  Between the lack of care here and his utter vanishing
in Talcama and Rodeki, is anyone sure Suave didn't fall off the planet entirely?

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

My dear friends,

JACKASS of Trial & Error avoided Clever Lingo.  Well done!  And no one died.  Again--
well done!

BURST (25-3654) (63-46-1,258) of ERRATA challenged SNAPPY GEORGE (42-4015) (60-57-
0,278) of COLOR ME SUAVE.  BURST was overpowered by SNAPPY GEORGE in a 1 minute
mismatched Challenge Title brawl.  Snappy George was our most challenged warrior this
cycle (congratulations to the whole arena on that), and congrats to Snappy George for
successfully resisting the onslaught of a very competent opponent.  SG, I hope you
find your manager soon.  And thanks very much for the column!

SAIONJI (73-4447) (37-19-1,220) of PERFECTION QUEST II challenged HO-CHAN THE AXE
(75-670) (162-179-3,265) of SAND DANCERS.  SAIONJI was unbelievably bested by HO-CHAN
THE AXE in a 5 minute Challenge contest.  As usual, Ho-Chan is our Overall Popularity
Leader as well as our Top Striker.  And he is currently third-ranked warrior in the
arena and the highest-ranked one that Snappy George can challenge (since Marcinko sat
out the fights this cycle).  So... Snappy George, I do hope to see you challenge the
big guy!  Although perhaps a PR challenging a Striker... not altogether wise...

Oh my, what else is there to talk about that you all might find interesting?  Crimson
Blush was voted This Week's Favorite.  He was scummed by...  CRIMSON BLUSH (7-5351)
(40-28-1,212) of VENGEANCE SEEKERS challenged TURD BURGLAR (2-5431) (31-33-0,235) of
INQUISITION SL5.  CRIMSON BLUSH was outwaited by TURD BURGLAR in a 7 minute Challenge
fight.

Our least popular warrior was Big Brother.  BIG BROTHER (3-6706) (18-3-0,57) of FRAT
PARTY BLOWOUT fought TREESTUMP (11-6369) (23-58-1,30) of ELFQUEST.  BIG BROTHER was
overpowered by TREESTUMP in a 1 minute one-sided fray.  Let's face it, most people
really don't like to be watched.  One of Big Brother's bad habits.  Some people take
severe enough offense that they break out the treestumps as a deterrent.

It's always worth noting who is our top Aimed Blow Practitioner.  This cycle, that
would be the very dangerous Youcankeeptheduck, supplanting Third Omen.
YOUCANKEEPTHEDUCK (18-7355) (92-56-0,236) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought HAYWIRE (65-5413)
(19-6-1,191) of WHO ARMED THEM?.  YOUCANKEEPTHEDUCK devastated HAYWIRE in a popular 1
minute uneven bout.  Of course.  41 seconds, actually.  It was a gruesome sight.

Our up-and-coming top Wall of Steel, Lethe, won again this cycle.   LETHE (9-4782)
(70-76-3,255) of BLUE MOON fought CRAZED GOBLIN (82-9051) (80-80-2,207) of CLAN
BLACKHAND.  LETHE subdued CRAZED GOBLIN in a popular 1 minute fight.  Well done
against a more experienced opponent!

Squidboy has taken the Top Total Parry title away from Gazelle with a very aggressive
win!  TWIG (82-25226) (48-33-0,178) of POWER PLAY challenged SQUIDBOY (48-2593)
(60-58-1,190) of THE UNLIKELIES.  TWIG was devastated by SQUIDBOY in an exciting 1
minute uneven Challenge duel.  Well fought, Squidboy!

And now, it is time for me to bid you farewell for another two weeks.  Have a
comfortable and prosperous fortnight, stay out of drafts, and don't forget to floss!

15 managers have announced for the Stormcrowe Slaughterhouse!!!!!!  There is still 
time to join and make a name for yourself in one of Alastari's fiercest contests!  I

Slaughterhouse!

of the contest.  You may also email or diplo Master Darque.

Certificate.  Only certificates will be accepted for entry.  All certificates 
submitted will be used during the course of the contest as prizes.

*RU certificates must be received on or before the first turn of the contest which is 
Stormcrowe Turn 263 (running approximately November 27, 2007).

Stormcrowe newsletter beginning with Turn 260 and in a final all arena ad in 
November.

PRIZES

ENDURANCE AWARD:  One (1) +1 Bonus Potion will be given to every team that competes 
in 60 of the 65 contest fights.

Immortality Potion.  This potion may be applied to one (1) warrior.  He/she will be

pack for their Slaughterhouse Dominance:

Special note from RSI on prizes:  All contest prizes must be used within three 
months.  All contest prizes may only be used on a living warrior on the participating 
contest team in DM 45.  The immortality potion may resurrect a warrior one time, 
after a death in DM 45 only, after which time the potion disappears.

diplo in DM 45 (Darque Forces-428).

20 September 2007
Ok, ok, you can stop not-talking about TOGS VI already, it is coming, slowly but
surely, like a giant, over-fed, greased slug sliding down a gravely driveway.  We're
looking for new-comers, old-timers, in-betweeners, fence-sitters and Delarquans to
come on out and participate.  Just think, you could be the next Pinky & the Brain
pairing (a la Creepster & Manager), or maybe you'll be the team that crushes all in
its path on the way TO UTTER AND COMPLETE TOGS DOMINATION!!!!!!  [note:  insert
sinister cackle if it helps you complete the picture]

There will be a few minor changes, so let's recap the rules from top to bottom:

1.  Each TOGS team consists of two managers.  After the contest starts, there will be
no switching partners whatsoever, so choose your teammate wisely.  TOGS VI will last
for 13 turns, so pick a partner you can stand for 6 months or so.

2.  The TOGS entry fee is 2 team setups per manager.  This means 4 setups per TOGS
team.  This entry fee is required before the start of the tourney with no exceptions
being made.  This is to ensure that nobody gets screwed if a team or manager decides
to back out early.  To pay the entry fee either:
     a)  send $10 cash/check/money order/ or whatever to me personally at:
          Paul Jokelson
          115 Moss Ave. #201
          Oakland, CA 94611
     b)  get RSI to send me 2 team setup gift certificates.  Sorry, no credit cards
         and no old teams you have lying around will be accepted.

3. TOGS point system:

Fights: 

10 points for winning on your up-challenge against another TOGS warrior.
 7 points for winning on your even challenge of another TOGS warrior.
 7 points for winning on another TOGS warriors challenge.
 7 points for winning a random match-up against another TOGS warrior.
 4 points for winning on your down-challenge of another TOGS warrior.
 4 points for winning a random match-up against a non-TOGS warrior.

Changes this TOGS: 

** 10 points for any challenge by the DM, UP OR DOWN!!
** 4 points for winning a random match-up against your TOGS partner's warrior.
To state the obvious, there are 0 points if you challenge your partner.

** 4 points for winning a bloodfeud attempt against you by a non-TOGS warrior

You will not get any points if you challenge or get challenged by a non-TOGS team
(with the exception of the above-stated rule if you get bloodfeuded), so use your
avoids wisely if you think someone is out to get you.

Spots/Ads

5 points for every spotlight written by any team member.  1 per manager per turn.

The minimum length of a spotlight to receive points is 1/2 column in the newsletter
(that's 31 lines-each line 85 characters across) and we will be completely firm on
this.  In addition to the length criteria, spotlights will not be given points if
they are in any way plagiarized or if they are not Duelmasters or fantasy related.
We will be the sole judge of this.  If you're unsure if we will judge something to be
Duelmasters or fantasy related, then e-mail me before you write the spotlight and
ask.  We reserve the right to take points away from a spotlight after they are given
if we judge at later time that the spotlight has been plagiarized.

-5 points per manager per turn every time a manager does not at least write one
personal ad.

4.  TOGS VI will start in arena 60 shortly after the Winter Face-to-Face (turn due
Feb 21, Aradi turn 436) and as mentioned before will last for 13 turns.  There will
be multipliers in the later rounds, which means that all points accumulated by a team
on turns 10 and 11 will be multiplied by 1.5 and all points accumulated by each team
on turns 12 and 13 will be multiplied by 2.

5.  Soultaker and Nuln will be the sole arbiters of any dispute that may arise, with
props to Sentinel for doing the score-keeping as always.  Whine all you like, we will
be glad to provide comfortable chairs and the cheese of your choice.

And there be the rules.  If you look closely, you'll notice there were a few minor
changes and additions made from the TOGS V rules.  They are as follows:

-- The Snotman & Nuln rule:  Last TOGS Snotman and Nuln randomly matched up something
like 4-5 times, so we basically decided out of pity to now give a small amount of
points (4 in this case) for winning a random against a teammate, so that you're not
completely screwed by having 2 of your 10 warriors get 0 zero points automatically.

-- Scaling Down Points for the DM:  Previously a TOGS DM would get 10 points *in
addition* to whatever challenge points they got.  This was to keep the DM from being
penalized for being at the top and give people something to fight for.  However, it
was a bit too much of an award and we decided to scale it back and eliminate the
bonus, but give full upchallenge credit whenever the DM challenges.

-- Bloodfeuds from outside TOGS teams:  This incident came up last TOGS, and it was
felt that if a person killed a non-TOGS warrior in a random, they shouldn't have to
be potentially locked into 4 turns of getting 0 points.  So we've added an additional
rule which now gives 4 points if you win when bloodfeuded by a non-TOGS warrior, at
least giving you some way to get points if you're locked into a non-TOGS bloodfeud
instead of being basically removed from the contest for 4 turns.

And lastly...

-- Team Names:  This was not listed in the rules, but to make things more festive, at
the suggestion of Manager we have decided to have the added dimension of team names!
Yes, no more boring rankings with Team 4 edging out Team 7.  Just picture reading a
TOGS turn report now, with something along the lines of "Team Fiery Starfish
obliterated Team Superior TOGSlings," just as one example.

We hope to see you all there....
