                                King of Primus 2012
                                ===================

Who:

     Sixteen of the top teams and managers in Primus!
     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:

     With the exception of the name change, all warrior modification prizes must be

Primus Facebook Participant Badge!"  Now all of your friends will know you are an
elite Primus manager.  (Even if you lost 5-0 in the first round!)

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     So, here's the deal:  The Commission took a holiday, then tried to cram two
days' work into one day.  The scribes I use were seriously busy yesterday, so today,
of course, they want this spy report FAST.  Oh, well.

     Biggest point gain, Daemyn, 34.  Biggest drop, Artichoke on This!, 27.  Same
fight.
     Most challenged, Mad Cat, our Top Cat, getting eight challenges.
     Most avoided, Flower Girls.  Avoided by Royal Flush.
     Forty-three fights, ten challenges, twenty-two standbys.
     The standbys went 11-11 today.  Makes you wonder.  Well, makes ME wonder.

The fights involving two managed warriors (using the term "managed" loosely):
     GLACIER (58-5887) (32-41-0,59) of CIRQUE DU MASQUES fought BLADEFIST (31-3565)
(20-18-1,79) of THE STORM REAVERS.  GLACIER was narrowly defeated by BLADEFIST in a
popular 2 minute bloody fight.  Too hot for glaciers here at present.  Wait a few
months.
     G W BUSH (59-2764) (19-13-1,57) of TALL TALES fought SKI MASK (58-5869) (55-98-
1,82) of CIRQUE DU MASQUES.  G W BUSH was demolished by SKI MASK in an exciting 1
minute one-sided conflict.  They just did this, I think, and now we have a
demonstration that it wasn't a fluke.  Given the respective experience levels, I
should hope not!
     UNCLE FESTER (59-2768) (20-12-0,89) of TALL TALES fought SPAWN (47-4283) (11-10-
0,43) of FANTASTIC FIVE.  UNCLE FESTER slimly lost to SPAWN in a 2 minute brutal
duel.  I would never have described Fester as "slim."
     DAEMYN (71-2940) (6-1-0,19) of WRATHMEN XXV fought ARTICHOKE ON THIS! (47-7226)
(15-8-1,57) of VEGAN CANNIBALS.  DAEMYN overpowered ARTICHOKE ON THIS! in a popular 1
minute uneven bout.  This is the fight that resulted in the most movement in the
ranks, and you can see why.
     STYMIE (62-1044) (30-31-4,127) of THE VIVISECTORS fought DOOM HAMMER (31-3566)
(22-32-3,101) of THE STORM REAVERS.  STYMIE demolished DOOM HAMMER in a 1 minute one-
sided match.  An unusual image.
     A.O. HELL (54-2523) (36-14-2,155) of USELESS TOOLS fought TAMMY FAYE (39-3520)
(30-39-0,129) of WITLESS WONDERS.  A.O. HELL was viciously subdued by TAMMY FAYE in a
crowd pleasing 2 minute gory duel.  Well matched, in their ways.

     GENERAL PUBLIC (31-3112) (34-24-1,207) of MILITARY MAYHEM fought TUNDRA (45-
4280) (37-37-1,173) of ARCTIC WASTES.  GENERAL PUBLIC demolished TUNDRA in a crowd
pleasing 1 minute brutal uneven duel.  That's the masses for you, who cares about a
marginal landscape, eh?
     JIVE (25-624) (108-71-1,184) of CRYPTICS fought GHOST DANCER (28-3365) (51-52-
0,180) of DODGE BULLETS.  JIVE won victory over GHOST DANCER in a popular 1 minute
match.  In a couple of months, come ghost season, things might be different.  Or
maybe not.
     MISS ZING (8-824) (75-54-3,198) of LADIES IN WAITING fought WARLORD (53-722)
(34-24-0,177) of THE UNHOLY ONES.  MISS ZING overpowered WARLORD in a popular 2
minute gruesome one-sided match.  It's the zing!  A mere warlord is putty in the
hands of a woman with zing!
     DISCO QUEEN (47-1992) (72-29-2,230) of ROYAL FLUSH fought TOADKILLER DOG (47-
1103) (43-18-1,240) of WASTED SCUM.  DISCO QUEEN viciously subdued TOADKILLER DOG in
a 13 minute competition.  Somebody has to protect the toads.
     UZI (44-1701) (39-35-1,220) of BLOWN AWAY fought STIGMA OF STUPID (31-4948) (41-
27-1,198) of UNFIT TO BE ORCS.  UZI was overpowered by STIGMA OF STUPID in a 1 minute
one-sided match.  There's a sort of weird symmtery in this.

The challenges:
     ROCK GLAS HUT FUN (8-4851) (25-19-3,74) of ORCISH IDIOMS challenged DORSAL FINN
(42-1662) (9-5-1,85) of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.  Up 11.  ROCK GLAS HUT FUN overpowered
DORSAL FINN in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge match.  Walk softly and carry a big
rock?
     CUBA (26-3917) (35-18-0,139) of HERE TO PHOENIX challenged BANDAGED HAND (20-
2765) (20-17-2,147) of 100% NATURAL GROOVE.  Up 8.  CUBA savagely defeated BANDAGED
HAND in an action packed 1 minute gory Challenge match.  Got the bandage dirty again,
too.
     HUNZICKER BOWL (23-4182) (46-29-2,154) of SKI TAOS challenged AMELIA (28-3417)
(46-40-1,172) of DODGE BULLETS.  Up 18.  HUNZICKER BOWL vanquished AMELIA in an
action packed 1 minute uneven Challenge fight.  Dodging bullets is one thing, dodging
trees while skiing is another.
     HARI-KARI (73-3049) (56-10-0,202) of WAY TO GO! II challenged WHACKING WILLOW
(52-3167) (60-23-1,218) of FLOWER GIRLS.  Up 16.  HARI-KARI slimly lost to WHACKING
WILLOW in an action packed 5 minute Challenge melee.  Rumor has it that the two of
them were giggling in the hall before hand.  What was up, eh?
     MONKEY BUSINESS (25-4040) (43-20-1,194) of PRIMATES-R-US challenged QUEEN (82-
33307) (22-13-0,195) of DARK TOADS 05Q.  Up 1.  MONKEY BUSINESS devastated QUEEN in a
1 minute mismatched Challenge match.  I've always found monkey business putting me
off my stroke, too.

     NUMBSKULL (52-2948) (18-10-2,187) of OTTO'S PARTS challenged AVONSIDE (13-3927)
(57-68-1,187) of KIWI CONNECTION.  Straight across.  NUMBSKULL was devastated by
AVONSIDE in a popular 1 minute uneven Challenge brawl.  Well, at least Numb didn't
feel it.
     TRASH CAN (50-3403) (23-8-4,193) of OPEN SESAME challenged CANNONBALL (72-5313)
(27-34-1,197) of X-POSSE.  Up 4.  TRASH CAN defeated CANNONBALL in an exciting 1
minute Challenge fight.  Lotta stuff, lotta warriors, too, end up in the trashcan....
     BASE ON BULLS (73-3101) (36-14-4,197) of THE BULLS challenged YOUNG JOAN (28-
3534) (45-66-1,198) of DODGE BULLETS.  Up 1.  BASE ON BULLS won victory over YOUNG
JOAN in a 4 minute Challenge brawl.  I hear Joan is prefecting a "perfect losing
strategy."
     LAND OF FLUSH (11-4373) (37-22-0,220) of CONSORTIUM CRAP challenged GABBER
KNIGHT (77-2243) (22-7-0,230) of 500 BPM.  Up 10.  LAND OF FLUSH was savagely
defeated by GABBER KNIGHT in a 3 minute Challenge melee.  This Gabber seems to be a
rising star.

For the title:
     THE REFEREE (45-1091) (85-52-4,276) of AVID FANS challenged MAD CAT (7-2965)
(82-52-6,364) of INSP GADGETS MINIONS.  Up lots.  Maybe 88?  THE REFEREE viciously
subdued MAD CAT in a 3 minute Challenge Title fight.  And the Mad Cat is ruled FOUL!
The Referee will now keep us on the straight track, and congratulations to him.
