                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Ladies and... men of Darkholm!

     Raindance avoided Wasteland.  Well done, Raindance!  No one died.  Sixty-two
warriors fought today (not counting stand-ins).
     Most of the avoiding done this turn was done by Chief Stormcloud, who was trying
to ensure that his challenge to ??RADAR?? would go through.  CHIEF STORMCLOUD (51-
4306) (36-14-1,223) of RAINDANCE challenged ??RADAR?? (82-20310) (32-40-1,201) of
DYSLEXICS UNTIE! II.  CHIEF STORMCLOUD was bested by ??RADAR?? in a 2 minute
Challenge fight.  As you might notice, it wasn't a really brave challenge, thus
something of an embarrassment to the Chief that he was bested.  Oh well.  These
things happen, and are lived down.  The important thing is:  Did you learn any
skills?
     Putrid Koala posted an avoid, too, in order to increase the chance of getting
his challenge.  It seems to have worked.  PUTRID KOALA (62-96) (32-18-1,205) of DEATH
MOB challenged VAGABOND (4-6049) (32-22-1,231) of SEA DOGS.  PUTRID KOALA was
devastated by VAGABOND in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge duel.  But perhaps the Koala
learned something from the dangerous Vagabond.
     Why didn't Masochistic Newt follow his teammate's example and avoid someone?
Evidently he didn't feel the need.  And his challenge did go through, anyway.
MASOCHISTIC NEWT (62-1081) (28-21-3,196) of DEATH MOB challenged PSYCHO GRANDMA! (16-
5120) (29-6-1,206) of LOOK OUT!.  MASOCHISTIC NEWT demolished PSYCHO GRANDMA! in a 1
minute uneven Challenge fight.
     Here's our title fight.  SUSHI SLINGER (96-1399) (33-31-3,284) of SEA DOGS
fought 2 (62-2976) (61-54-4,255) of NUMBERS.  SUSHI SLINGER was bested by 2 in a
popular 1 minute Title contest.  You see?  No column, no challenge made, and Sushi
Slinger loses to the pretty little Aimed Blow stylemaster.  Mr. Slinger, if you want
to keep the Runeblade, you have to make an effort.
     Hot shot though he was back on the mainland, Tepid Felony didn't make much of a
first impression here on the Isle.  TEPID FELONY (98-1081) (10-4-4,27) of KILLER
WORDS F3 fought OLD MAID (3-5624) (27-40-1,59) of GAMES LIBRARY.  TEPID FELONY was
overpowered by OLD MAID in a 1 minute one-sided bout.  Don't worry, T.F.  You'll get
the hang of it.
     Evil Elmo was this week's favorite.  BRICKTOP (18-7955) (58-54-0,190) of
WASTELAND fought EVIL ELMO (99-1222) (60-30-4,210) of TWISTED SESAME.  BRICKTOP
outwaited EVIL ELMO in a crowd pleasing 7 minute gruesome bout.  Since our fight day
is every two weeks, you might wonder who was "this week's favorite" last week?  It's
based on an arm wrestling competition at Goldie's Hospitality House.  Goldie herself
wins, as often as not.
     And, of course, Mr. Cheap is still our Overall Popularity Leader.  Will he never
get "kicked upstairs" to Primus?  CRACK IS CHEAP (82-18422) (54-60-0,192) of NEGATIVE
CASH FLOW fought DIRK CHOLERA (104-29) (80-50-4,250) of ARENA STAND-INS.  CRACK IS
CHEAP was overpowered by DIRK CHOLERA in a popular 3 minute one-sided match.  Heh,
not surprising.  And that wasn't even the REAL Dirk Cholera.  Good imitation though.
     And that, my friends, is all I have to say today.  Parting advice?  The Unknown
Spymaster says, "Always leave 'em laughing."  *gets up from desk and does a pratfall*
There you go.  *rubs bottom*

Until later!

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....
