Each team must consist of 5 warriors of each of a *different* style. A team may consist of one or more managers, and each manager can belong to only one team. Managers who are able to field 5 warriors of different styles for themselves are STRONLY encouraged to do so. But for those that can't, combination teams are definitely allowed. Management reserves the right to veto any combination teams deemed "overpowered". (Unlikely but you never know.) What: The King of Primus is a bracket-style competition where teams of 5 warriors fight against each other in a match-play like system. Teams will be seeded 1-16 based on the AVERAGE rank in Primus of their warriors. (As of turn 594) Warriors MUST be listed in the Turn 594 Newsletter in order to be eligible for the competition. In case of ties in average rank, ties will be broken by the ranking of the highest warrior. Then each team will have a ranking of 1-5 based on their ranking in Primus. (As of turn 594) During match play, The #1 warrior from Team A will match up with the #1 warrior from Team B, the #2 Team A warrior will match up with the #2 warrior from Team B, and so forth. Warrior rankings will remain static throughout the competition as will manager seedings. The King of Primus will be the one team that goes 4-0. Even though the contest is single elimination to determine the winner, there will be a consolation round and everyone will have 4 matches--in the end everyone will have the opportunity to play 4 matches and find out where their stable really ranks in Primus! When: The contest will take place starting on Primus Turn 596. It will run for 4 turns ending in Turn 599. However, remember that your warriors must be listed in the 594 newsletter to be eligible and it's not a bad idea to climb up high in the rankings now to earn as high a seed as you can. In case more than 16 teams sign up, Turn 595 will the "play in" round, where teams seeded on the lower end of the bracket will compete for the right to enter the competition. The number of teams who need to compete in the "play-in" round will be determined on the number of teams who enter the competition. For example, if 18 teams sign up, then the 15th seed will play the 18th seed and the 16th seed will play the 17th seed for the right to enter the main bracket. (Similar to how it works in March Madness) How: To enter, you can sign up in this thread, write an ad in the 102 newsletter or PM/Email Manager with the following information. The Name(s) of managers on a team, the 5 warriors with ID#s of your team, the style of your warriors, and what warrior you want to select for a possible Royal Court Selection. (See prize section) Example: Manager's Team --------------- 1. Bonnie (29-2780) (AB) 2. Weird Head Boy (63-2216) (LU) * 3. Koji Shikeru (40-2619) (SL) 4. Skyfire (37-2065) (PL) 5. Patience (1-2619) (TP) * Denotes Royal Court Prize Pick Since the contest takes place in the arena, you'll have to read the newsletter and the forums to figure out who you're going to match up against. We'll post all the managers and teams before the contest begins as well to make it easier. Prizes: The winner of the competition will be named the King of Primus!!! As a winner, you get to control the fate of the arena for a very special Turn 600! The Winner of the contest can select two "decrees" from a list of items that will effect how Primus plays out on it's historic Turn 600! They are: ========== - Rename the Arena for 1 turn - Have a non-automated spy report written. - Increase/Decrease the Skill Learning for the turn - Increase/Decrease the Training % for the turn. - Increase/Decrease the Kill Percentage for the turn. - No Challenges and/or Avoids - Bring back the Defend Gate Challenge for a turn - Have an NPC Match-Up Week! -If you have other ideas, the commission may consider it, but will have the right to refuse. As the King of Primus, you also get the first member of your Royal Court! When entering a team, each team who participates must designate one of their warriors to be in the "twin pool." (No DYOs or roll-up altering warriors allowed.) After winning, one warrior will be drawn from the pool at RANDOM, and you will have the option to be able to "twin" that warrior's numbers and stick him on an existing team (no-tourney arenas not allowed) if you so desire. Consider carefully your odds of winning when choosing a warrior to donate to the Royal Court. You may opt out if you desire--but if you win, you don't get this part of the prize. The Consolation Champion (9th place) gets 5 Team Roll-Ups. For everyone else, there is an exciting Consolation Prize Pool to keep everyone motivated to finish high as possible. There are 16 items in the Consolation Prize Pool--one of each item. First place gets his first choice of item in the pool, second place gets the 2nd choice and so on, and whoever finishes last gets his choice of remaining items. Here are the items in the Consolation Prize Pool: Consolation Prize Pool ======================= +1 Init Potion -- Adds 1 Init to your base. Can't be used to create an out of bounds warrior. +1 Riposte Potion -- Adds 1 to your Riposte base. Can't be used to create an out of bounds warrior. +1 Decise Potion -- Adds 1 to your Decise Base.

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Okay, here we are. Got to get this done fast so I can be ready for the parade, I'm going to float. Biggest point gain, Whitebraid, 32. Biggest drop, Savory, 29. Same fight. Most avoided, Street Walkers. By, Devil Advocates. Most challenged, Serge. Nineteen fights, four challenges, three standbys. I thank everyone who wrote personals. It makes a difference to me. HEADLESS NORSEMAN (33-7758) (16-6-0,75) of HALLOWIENERS fought ROSELLA (103-39) (26-25-0,100) of the College of Mimes. HEADLESS NORSEMAN overpowered ROSELLA in a 1 minute one-sided duel. I guess it helps if you can't see what you're fighting. LOATHING (97-4003) (11-1-4,58) of SPAWN OF DARKNESS fought LUCIFREYJA (103-40) (19-21-1,90) of the College of Mimes. LOATHING overpowered LUCIFREYJA in a crowd pleasing 2 minute gory mismatched conflict. Well, you know, these bloodgames types. Masterful. TREEFROG (15-4177) (32-56-0,112) of GREENWARDENS fought SEGUE (13-5394) (19-8- 0,100) of THE DEVIL'S OWN. TREEFROG beat SEGUE in an exciting 1 minute bout. There's the winning streak showing again! MACHINE (56-3795) (49-48-0,170) of DIRTIE fought TIA MATTE (32-5321) (25-12- 0,163) of DEVIL ADVOCATES. MACHINE devastated TIA MATTE in an exciting 1 minute one- sided fight. All that experience, I guess. SLEEPWALKER (74-2843) (66-122-1,175) of DARKLINGS fought BITCHIN' BEAST (33- 5228) (17-11-0,161) of DIVINE HERITAGE. SLEEPWALKER was viciously subdued by BITCHIN' BEAST in a crowd pleasing 2 minute bout. I guess some people just can't handle complaints. REPUGNANT (97-3677) (20-12-4,168) of SONS OF SATAN fought FLESH RIPPER (74-3375) (37-24-2,178) of LUROCIANS XI. REPUGNANT was vanquished by FLESH RIPPER in an action packed 1 minute mismatched bout. Ripped and, like, torn. WOODEN ARROW (15-4619) (39-52-0,192) of GREENWARDENS fought KING COREY (43-4620) (33-34-2,166) of LUROCIAN ROYALTY. WOODEN ARROW handily defeated KING COREY in a 1 minute one-sided conflict. Never wear a target on your armor when you're fighting an arrow, okay? CONTROVERSY (64-3914) (55-61-1,206) of UNDER DURESS fought THRASHER MALONE (72- 4847) (27-20-0,190) of TOURNEY TEAM. CONTROVERSY subdued THRASHER MALONE in a crowd pleasing 1 minute gory match. I guess Thrasher doesn't like things complicated. Some don't. SAVORY (32-4143) (46-43-1,193) of DEAD WE SUCK fought WHITEBRAID (15-2110) (45- 79-1,156) of GREENWARDENS. SAVORY was demolished by WHITEBRAID in a 1 minute mismatched competition. This was the big point movement fight. LORD FIREFLASH (33-2966) (69-58-1,197) of LUROCIANS II fought SMUG BUG (55-2900) (128-199-0,210) of RHYME TYME. LORD FIREFLASH was overpowered by SMUG BUG in a popular 2 minute one-sided melee. That BUG. Always coming back. I want it INDUCTED. SEKHAT (7-2251) (53-103-3,192) of CASTAWAYS fought S. MARY ROSE (78-2313) (76- 84-2,157) of HABIT. SEKHAT lost to S. MARY ROSE in a popular 1 minute fight. Silly cat. NIGHTCAP (74-2745) (226-133-0,222) of DARKLINGS fought ARGUMENT (64-3915) (52- 64-0,232) of UNDER DURESS. NIGHTCAP vanquished ARGUMENT in an action packed 1 minute one-sided duel. There was a quote about this, but it wasn't, like, my kind of book, so I forgot. REM (74-2853) (108-76-0,228) of DARKLINGS fought RED BARON (33-1092) (71-70- 3,214) of LUROCIANS II. REM was defeated by RED BARON in an action packed 3 minute gruesome melee. Anybody could have told her that was too much pizza for one person. MARTIN BLANK (82-28434) (51-15-0,216) of BLOOD TITANS fought HATHU (103-32) (5- 1-0,250) of the College of Mimes. MARTIN BLANK overpowered HATHU in a crowd pleasing 4 minute bloody one-sided struggle. I still think Marty's got a standby-type name. The challenges: ABSOLUTION (32-5301) (22-5-2,129) of ANGELS OF PAIN challenged STUMP (15-4882) (34-81-0,148) of GREENWARDENS. Up 19. ABSOLUTION viciously subdued STUMP in a popular 4 minute gory Challenge contest. You ever wonder how Stump graduated? I figure it was Small Arena Syndrome. GIMME SOME SUGAR (19-4936) (68-48-0,193) of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged SANDMAN (74-2896) (70-102-3,193) of DARKLINGS. Straight across. GIMME SOME SUGAR was viciously subdued by SANDMAN in a 6 minute Challenge match. Ooooh, sand in the sugar! BILBO BAGGINNI (9-5508) (51-27-0,188) of MIDDLE ITALY challenged MOSSROCK (15- 4871) (48-58-2,185) of GREENWARDENS. Down 3. BILBO BAGGINNI devastated MOSSROCK in a 2 minute one-sided Challenge duel. So much for Mossy's winning streak! GARY M. REAPER (32-2502) (82-48-1,196) of DEVIL ADVOCATES challenged SERGE (32- 3549) (51-62-0,204) of ASSORTED. Up 8. GARY M. REAPER bested SERGE in a 2 minute Challenge fight. That's Serge the Most Challenged, right? For the title: KOOKABURRA (33-4151) (147-183-5,282) of GIRL SCOUT COOKIES fought REDTHORN (15- 4943) (39-46-0,225) of GREENWARDENS. KOOKABURRA demolished REDTHORN in a 1 minute mismatched Title competition. Well, darn. I was hoping for somebody who would write a column. Still, congratulations to Kookaburra. Debby T.

I may not be expertly managed, but I'm not an overpush. -- Redthorn Repugnant -- Do we get a training bonus, for all the skills we teach? -- Stump Absolution -- Like *I* would sin? Not a chance. -- Treefrog P.S. Besides, there are many opportunities in the trees. So far. Sissy Chrissy -- You could do that again. I liked the end part. -- Mossrock Lord Fireflash -- Dangerous! We're in "extreme fire risk" conditions here, and I think you ought to stay inside your guildhouse for the duration. -- Whitebraid Martin Blank -- I must have blanked out when the fight was called. I don't remember it at all. -- Wooden Arrow Nightcap -- Don't apologize, climb the ranks and take the title. Better you than me. -- Redthorn LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS GARY M.
