Congratulations to Evil Elmo, our Tournament Victor, who used his challenge, and won his fight. Yes, Doc was ranked two points below him, but he had more wins and more fights than Evil Elmo. And it was certainly a good fight! EVIL ELMO (99-1222) (75-38-4,204) of TWISTED SESAME TV challenged DOC STEELE (18-6010) (98-177-6,202) of ARROGANCE. EVIL ELMO bested DOC STEELE in a crowd pleasing 3 minute gruesome Challenge fight. Evil is, of course, our premier Wall of Steel, and a very fine specimen he is. *smiling* There were fourteen challenge fights in Darkholm today. Well done! It's good to see some signs of life in this arena. And I'm going to feature all of the challenge fights in the spyreport today! TWIG (82-25226) (63-42-0,208) of POWER PLAY challenged ??RADAR?? (82-20310) (39- 56-1,213) of DYSLEXICS UNTIE! II. TWIG narrowly defeated ??RADAR?? in an exciting 3 minute gory Challenge melee. Well done! HATCH BATTENER (1-8014) (28-20-1,194) of SEA DOGS challenged MASOCHISTIC NEWT (62-1081) (35-37-3,197) of DEATH MOB. HATCH BATTENER was vanquished by MASOCHISTIC NEWT in a 1 minute Challenge brawl. Masochistic Newt is our Top Striker! Well done, sir. PRISONER ZC01 (13-4876) (30-11-1,197) of DUNGEON CELL ZC3 challenged THE IMPECCABLE PIG (5-3818) (48-50-0,196) of JUST DON'T CARE. PRISONER ZC01 defeated THE IMPECCABLE PIG in an exciting 1 minute Challenge fight. Hmm. Was anyone surprised? BALLAST (1-7727) (28-35-0,180) of SEA DOGS challenged GREASY NAPKINS (82-10156) (28-25-0,171) of REAL PIZZA FLAVOR. BALLAST was devastated by GREASY NAPKINS in a popular 3 minute uneven Challenge brawl. Bit of an upset there. HORTATOR (1-7791) (28-28-3,173) of SEA DOGS challenged BRICKTOP (18-7955) (67- 68-0,166) of WASTELAND. HORTATOR savagely defeated BRICKTOP in a crowd pleasing 3 minute gory Challenge brawl. NOT an upset. *sigh* MAKESHIFT ANCHOR (1-7724) (32-33-0,170) of SEA DOGS challenged SMELL CAREFULLY (18-8889) (34-58-2,157) of STREET PIZZA. MAKESHIFT ANCHOR was viciously subdued by SMELL CAREFULLY in a 3 minute melee. Whoops! MAST MONKEY (21-6158) (17-9-2,131) of SEA DOGS challenged MEN WORKING (38-4189) (43-144-1,119) of JUST BECAUSE. MAST MONKEY vanquished MEN WORKING in an action packed 1 minute uneven Challenge fight. Well. Hot-shot young guy down-challenges a weary old has-been. PRISONER 0118 (82-33748) (20-47-0,144) of DUNGEON CELL 24 challenged THAT GUY (97-2120) (23-15-3,142) of DIE, MOFO, DIE IV. PRISONER 0118 savagely defeated THAT GUY in an action packed 8 minute Challenge match. This was kind of a brave challenge, I thought. Since That Guy has a much better record. MISS TEAK (1-8015) (26-22-1,53) of SEA DOGS challenged MIAMI MIA (7-4818) (21- 56-3,59) of BEACH BABES. MISS TEAK defeated MIAMI MIA in an exciting 1 minute Challenge match. Mia is our top Parry-Striker, by the way. And the spectators always like a girl-on-girl fight, for some reason. PEG LEG (36-6196) (22-16-0,80) of SEA DOGS challenged DEATH MAGE (62-2115) (17- 7-1,77) of DEATH MOB. PEG LEG was devastated by DEATH MAGE in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge conflict. Even though he lost, Peg Leg is our top Parry-Lunger. A difficult style to master, is it not? Judging by the fact Peg Leg was runner-up to the Least Popular award this turn, I guess the spectators don't think he's mastered his style yet. PRISONER 0103 (82-33733) (23-56-0,52) of DUNGEON CELL 21 challenged BEACH BETTY (7-5768) (27-43-0,78) of BEACH BABES. PRISONER 0103 was demolished by BEACH BETTY in a 2 minute one-sided Challenge brawl. That was surprising, wasn't it? PARROT KEEPER (21-6157) (24-9-2,82) of SEA DOGS challenged MARV JR (18-9288) (8- 1-0,75) of WASTELAND. PARROT KEEPER was overpowered by MARV JR in a 1 minute one- sided Challenge duel. Whew! I assume Marv Jr. is a Bloodgamer. And, it seems, a very able one! Because the more experienced Parrot Keeper is no pushover. PATCH (36-7297) (15-9-0,44) of SEA DOGS challenged TALLAHASSE TINA (7-4889) (17- 74-0,42) of BEACH BABES. PATCH lost to TALLAHASSE TINA in an exciting 1 minute Challenge fray. Tina was this turn's most challenged warrior, no doubt because fighting her looks like an easy win. Let this be a lesson. There's nothing easy about fighting a Lord Protector with nearly four times your experience. Once again, our Keeper of the Runeblade failed to challenge (or write a column). NEOSPHINCTER (18-7317) (107-38-1,500) of WASTELAND fought CHIEF STORMCLOUD (51-4306) (40-18-1,235) of RAINDANCE. NEOSPHINCTER devastated CHIEF STORMCLOUD in a popular 2 minute mismatched Title brawl. I hardly think it could have been a difficult fight. Look at their records. Neo had over twice the recognition, and 145 fights to Chief's 58. Neo COULD have challenged Hailstorm, with a record of 68-26-1-364. That would have been less unfair, don't you think? Maybe Neosphincter was afraid. No one died. No one avoided. Even the fake Dirk Cholera who fights as a stand-in, is hard to beat. That's what Crack is Cheap, our Overall Popularity Leader, discovered this turn. CRACK IS CHEAP (82-18422) (59-78-0,207) of NEGATIVE CASH FLOW fought DIRK CHOLERA (104-29) (80-50-4,250) of STAND-IN VICTIMS. CRACK IS CHEAP was devastated by DIRK CHOLERA in a 2 minute gruesome mismatched match. This turn's favorite is Gateway. 5 GOT PICKED (41-4199) (45-18-2,209) of 072905R fought GATEWAY (82-15631) (48-37-0,207) of ATTACK OF THE CLONES. 5 GOT PICKED viciously subdued GATEWAY in an exciting 5 minute bloody battle. It didn't look to me like Gateway was scummed. Were you, Gateway? And...getting beaten by one of the less dangerous stand-ins is not a great introduction to Darkholm, is it? SHEWISH WHALER (18-9272) (22-11-1,78) of SEA DOGS fought BOOKIE'S GUARD (104-5) (35-18-0,75) of STAND-IN VICTIMS. SHEWISH WHALER was demolished by BOOKIE'S GUARD in a 1 minute one-sided conflict. That's why the Whaler was voted This Turn's Least Popular Warrior. Tsk tsk. Try to do better next time. Well...I believe that's it. Thank you, one and all, for participating in this turn's fights. See you in two weeks!

To participate, each alliance must: 1. Announce the alliance and the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter. 2. Announcements made on the D2 Forums will not be accepted. Captains are responsible for: 1. Verifying those who wish to participate under the banner of their alliance; 2. Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War. 3. Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate Participating managers who are not Captains must: 1. Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate 2. Announce their intent to compete with manager name, team name, and alliance they will represent in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter. Announcement made on the D2 Forums will not be accepted. a. No scores will be tabulated until a Gift Certificate is received. No EXCEPTIONS. b. Before a manager can compete, he/she must declare themselves in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter as stated above AND be verified by the alliance Captain they will represent. c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. No multiple teams or aliases will be allowed. Violations will result in immediate disqualification from the Turf War (so be sure to take any multiple teams OFF of Team Maintenance). d. Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams that do not properly declare or fail to send a Gift Certificate by Turn 1. In other words, if your Gift Certificate is not received until Turn 3 of the Turf War, and you have fought on Turns 1 and 2, your scoring will not begin until Turn 3. All conditions must be met before scoring will begin--declaration, verification, and Gift Certificate received. e. No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 5 of the Turf War. f. For purposes of scoring, the moderators will score the Turf War and settle any and all disputes as they arise. Their decisions will be final. Scoring will be as follows for Fights: Win Loss Kill Die Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5 Match Up +1 -1 +1 -5 Bloodfeud +2 -5 +5 -10 Champion x2 x2 x2 x2 Dark Arena* +10 -5 xx xx *After 2nd win, warrior scores no points for wins Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows: Spy Report mention (team name only) +2 Style Master +2 Duelmaster +2 Champions: 1. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory. 2. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time. 3. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior in the arena, but not the Dark Arena, may be replaced. 4. Champions must be in the Adepts bracket or lower on the turn they are declared, and may NOT have gone above Adepts level at any time; this includes teams transferred into North Fork for the Turf War. Bloodfeuds: 1. Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns. 2. There is no limit to which warrior may bloodfeud or how often. Tournament Considerations: 1. Tournament participation is ALLOWED and encouraged. 2. Tournament Victors won during the course of the contest will gain a one (1) time bonus of 25 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) wins such status. 3. Tournament Champions won during the course of the contest will gain a one (1) time bonus of 50 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) win such status. 4.

This included Commission employees. Half a dozen arenamasters regarded each other warily in the mirror behind the bar at the Pig in a Haystack. The Pig was obscure and mediocre, drawing few gladiators, which is what they had all been looking for. They saw gladiators every day. Most arenamaster were convinced that this was some kind of punishment. You could always pick out the arenamasters in a crowd. There were superficial differences: One of these had clearly Adantri features, one wore an eye-patch, two were female. But there were, in significant ways, alike. The same size, the same hair-trigger alertness, the same deadliness. The one-eyed man broke the ice, raising his beer mug in salute. "I'm Zrof One- Eye from Zukal. Sugar of Arvat--" One of the women bowed slightly. "I know Sugar. The rest of you...?" The Adantri matched his salute. "Dernal of Dayla Kiv." "Daiyla Kiv? Ah...." "No, without the 'I' in it. These damned bureaucrats can't spell, and they thought adding an unnecessary vowel was exotic." Disgust dripped from his voice. "Tell me about it!" another man growled in agreement. "Khagal of Niatoli, and what they do to the spelling of THAT simple word--!" "I thought Daiyla, I mean Dayla Kiv had a different name right now," Arenamistress Sugar said. "The arena, at least, because of a contest?" "Chavez Ravine." Dernal's tone was the one that substituted in polite company for spitting on the floor. Zrof blinked, taken aback by the bitterness. He wouldn't have minded a contest in Zukal, and damn what they called the place. "It's only temporary, though." "Temporary, shmiperary," another man muttered. He seemed well into his drinking, although, like all arenamasters, he carried his liquor well. "They do it all the time in Aradi. No reshpect. Go around changing thish, changing that. I wish I could change shome thingsh." He signalled the bartender for a refill. The second woman put her hand over his mug. "You've had enough, Harkon. Try the coffee, instead." "You should be mad, too, Ripplesh," Harkon said. "They're going to do shtuff like that in Jahnsh, aren't they?" Ripples Dorrigan shrugged. All the men paused, some with glasses half raised, to watch. "It's the way things are," she said. "Not much we can do about it." "You know," Khagal of Niatoli said, "maybe we could make a few changes. Fix the spelling of Arena 33, for one, change a few standby titles--" "The Commission hates changes." Dernal of Dayla Kiv topped up his glass and drained it gloomily. "Yes, but if we disguise it," Sugar of Arvat said, excited, "make it... maybe a general Name-Change-O-Rama! Then we could slip OUR changes through and no one would notice or mind." *-------*-------*-------*-------*-------*-------* By popular demand, we are holding a Name-Change-o-Rama during the month of September, 2008. If you wish to change the name of your warriors or teams, please contact RSI Customer Service. The charge for a name change is $1.
