                                  WARRIOR SPOTLIGHT

The Frothingslosh Syndicate is proud to announce 99 Bottles of Beer III!!! (+ 100): 
Sponsored by ALFREDOVISION(TM): for a Better Tomorrow, and a Better Today.

The contest will be in honor and celebration of turn 199 of SEAM DM 20.

Your objective is simple: be the first team to accumulate 199 Bottles of Beer!

The first part of the contest will be a 15 turn "warm-up" starting on turn 184, due 
7/4/22, but you are encouraged to start your team as early as possible. During this 
casual "meet and greet" stage, all teams will earn one bottle per turn simply by 
fielding a full team of 5 warriors and writing at least one personal ad. BTW guys, for 
the sake of simplicity, your Host and Cruise director asks that you PLEASE do not sign 
your ad expecting me to know who you are. If you are not 100% certain, then please 
state very clearly EVERY TURN what team you are associated with so i do not have to go 
through past newsletters to try to figure out who you are. Also do not forget to write 
a personal ad for the turn 184 newsletter! Simply stating who you are would be great. 
Something like, "Hi Seam. I'm John, the manager of John's team" is certainly 
sufficient.

The real fireworks will start on turn 199, due on 1/30/23. That is when the teams will 
start to earn Bottles for Arena Performance, which will be earned/awarded as follows:

  * Bottles awarded for being active and writing a personal ad are discontinued.
  * 5 Bottles for each invite to ADM, AWARDED UPON THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF INVITE IN THE 
    NEWSLETTER with the opportunity to earn 1 extra bottle ON THE FOLLOWING TURN for 
    achieving a kill in the Dark Arena on their last fight. Note that this Bottle is a 
    "bonus;" you will also earn a Bottle for the win; bottles awarded for wins are 
    outlined below.
  * 3 Bottles for each turn as Duelmaster, with the opportunity to earn 1 extra bottle 
    for writing a Duelmaster's column COLLECTED ON THE FOLLOWING TURN when the column 
    is actually published. It does not have to be fancy but has to be "something": 99 
    words minimum.
  * 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 Bottles for Team on the Move and Current Top Team. In the case 
    of ties, partial bottles will be awarded and will count towards your total.
  * 2 Bottles for Chartered Recognition Leader
  * 2 Bottles for This Week's Favorite
  * 2 Bottles for TOP CAREER HONORS Chartered Team
  * 0 Bottles for each turn as Overall Popularity Leader. Additionally, you will pay a 
    1 BOTTLE PENALTY on the following turn if you fail to post a personal ad 
    apologizing for your ostentatious behavior! OR...you can choose to brag further 
    about how astonishingly wonderful you actually are, and are more than worthy of 
    all the accolades you get from your adoring fans.
  * 1 Bottle for a successful Bloodfeud: limit two bottles per incident.
  * 2 Bottles for each Stylemaster as listed in the newsletter. In other words, the 
    rules for being awarded bottles for Stylemaster are the same as they are in the 
    arena: winning record, adept or above.
  * 1 bottle for each win, or two bottles for each kill in the regular arena. Warriors 
    that manage to return from the Dark Arena earn one bottle for the win only.

If more than one team achieves or surpasses 199 Bottles on the same turn, the team 
with the higher total will be the victor. Partial Bottles having been awarded make the 
event of a tie at the end much less likely; any fraction of a bottle lead that you may 
have *will* count. In the unlikely event that there is an exact tie for any place that 
receives a prize, those teams involved will continue playing until a winner can be 
decided.

The top three places will win one or more "Cream of the Slosh" replacements:

  * 1st Place: 3 CotS replacements
  * 2nd Place: 2 CotS replacements
  * 3rd Place: 1 CotS replacements

A CotS replacement is 10 standard, ordinary Duelmasters teamsheets that are specially 
"marked" and grouped together by the Spy Commision to be used for this single purpose 
only. The winning manager then chooses any one out of the 50 warriors on the 10 
teamsheets they wish to be their "Cream of the Slosh" replacement; the other 49 are 
simply discarded. Note that you are free to use your CotS replacement anytime you have 
an opening on your team in Seam; in other words, you are not required to Dark Arena 
nor do you have to pass on a good naturally occurring replacement.

However, CotS replacements will not be allowed to hide their status: all CotS 
replacements will be required to start its name with these three symbols: O^O (capital 
O, shift-6 [caret symbol], capital O. This surely will cause them to be a "target" of 
challenges, but also will serve as a badge of honor for them to wear proudly. In the 
case of winning multiple CotS replacements, you will be required to wait at least 10 
ACTIVE turns in between using your CotS replacements; you will only receive one CotS 
packet at a time. Just send a note in to the Spy Commission with your 10th turn's 
orders to receive your new CotS packet with your turn's results.

Note that 6 CotS replacements being won in total is the guaranteed minimum. I have 
been informed that if the contest has an unusually large turnout, the Spy Commission 
MAY choose to spice up the prize pool with additional CotS replacements. Understand 
there are no guarantees (other than them 6 as listed), and these Spies were rather 
"vague" and sometimes can be a little sketchy. But, for what it's worth, I figured I 
should pass the information on just in case it does actually have merit.

But that's not all! For those of you that wish to spice up the contest even further, 
we are featuring an additional and completely voluntary "Contest Within a Contest" for 
which there will be a one time fee of 6 RSI Gift Certificates to enter. The prize pool 
for the CWAC will be one "6-pack" of Duelmasters Gift Certificates (no cash value; 
each may be redeemed for one Duelmasters teamsheet) for every manager who chooses to 
participate. The prize pool will divided up among the winning players as follows:

  * 1st place: 1/2 of all the teamsheets
  * 2nd place: 1/3 of all the teamsheets
  * 3rd place: 1/6 of all the teamsheets

I just want to clarify that managers competing for the CWAC teamsheets are only 
competing against each other. So, for example, if you place second in the main contest 
but the main contest winner did not choose to participate in the CWAC, you will then 
be the first place winner of the CWAC (and receive half of all the sheets in the prize 
pool). Additionally, if the CWAC proves to be very popular and gets many entries, I 
may pay out more places. Any such decisions will be discussed and finalized prior to 
turn 199.

I will do my best to write a Contest Update every turn which will obviously be based 
on the totals from the previous turn. I also plan to start an email list that you may 
join if you wish. I will send out the updated contest standings to this list...likely 
very soon after the newsletter is posted; I will actually be so bold to suggest that I 
might get your contest update prior to getting your mail! So everyone can have up-to-
date standings, but also gives you the chance to point out any errors I might have 
made prior to sending in the official update to be printed in the newsletter.

Other Rules:

  * Once the first team equals or surpasses the required 199 Bottles total, THE 
    CONTEST IS OVER unless there are any ties to work out, and in that case the 
    contest will continue to the following turn ONLY for those teams involved. Your 
    official contest ranking will be based on whatever position you are holding at the 
    time that the first team(s) surpasses 199 bottles, even in the unlikely event of a 
    tie for first place and the winner has not yet been determined.
  * NO AVOIDS: This will be STRICTLY ENFORCED starting on Turn 199. Any team caught 
    avoiding will be REMOVED from the contest and their entry fee (if any) WILL NOT be 
    refunded! And trust me, with the number of nosy spy reporters out there, YOU WILL 
    get caught.
  * Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated and will be grounds for 
    disqualification. Coordinating challenges is allowed; non-aggression pacts are 
    allowed. "Taking a dive" (ie: throwing fights) is definitely NOT allowed. Any 
    allegations of cheating will be investigated seriously; any decision made by the 
    spy commission regarding said allegations will be final. Ladies and gentlemen: 
    let's keep this clean, okay? None of us are kids anymore!
  * Seam is a "non-tourney" arena, and as such you are required to field a full team 
    of 5 warriors every turn! Any warrior that has 1 FE or more missing the turn will 
    incur a 3-Bottle penalty for their team. You are highly encouraged to put your 
    entire team on maintenance, to guard against any mistakes. If you have a warrior 
    "accidentally' sit out the turn, you will "accidentally" incur a 3-bottle penalty 
    ;>. Any rookie warrior missing a turn will only incur a 1-Bottle penalty for 
    their team. I am aware that those poor noobs often get lost temporarily.
  * There will be no penalty for your *entire team* missing a turn. It is certainly 
    not recommended, however!
  * No tournament experience or "enhanced" warriors will be allowed.
  * If you wish to participate in the optional "contest within a contest," you must 
    announce your intention to participate prior to turn 190 being processed (due 
    9/26). The one-time entry fee of 6 RSI Gift Certificates will be charged to your 
    account at that time. 

YOU are invited; you are encouraged to start early if you like! The Frothingslosh 
Syndicate invites you to Bottle! Er...ah...battle!

BOTTLES OF BEER III!!! (+100) CONTEST: NEWS FROM THE GLADITORIAL COMMISSION: ALL 
PARTICIPANTS WIN A PRIZE! Plus contest clarifications:

You heard right my friends: ALL 99 Bottles participants who do not miss more than 1 
turn during the entire contest (including the warm-up phase) will receive a "Pick of 
the Litter" replacement. A PotL replacement will be 10 ordinary random replacements: 
you pick the one you wish to keep, and the other 9 are discarded. Naturally, this 
replacement must be placed in DM 20.

What's new:

Your CotS "status symbol": O^O (capital O, shift-6, capital O) must appear somewhere 
in it's name. However, it may appear anywhere. It need not be in the beginning as was 
originally stated. So names such as MO^ONSHOT or THRU THE O^O will be quite 
acceptable.. 

Some clarifications:

* Do not forget to write a personal ad for the Turn 184 newsletter. In other words, 
  assuming you do start on turn 184, you need to send in a personal ad with your very 
  first turn.

  The requirement to write a personal ad is discontinued once the Arena Achievement 
  stage starts on turn 199.

* This should not be an issue, but Bottles for Arena Awards will be awarded for 
  chartered teams only.

* If you win one or more of the CotS replacements, they/it MUST be used in DM 20.

* Note that the NO AVOIDS policy will be STRICLY ENFORCED!! If you are caught 
  avoiding, you will be disqualified from the contest! HOWEVER--this does not start 
  until turn 199; no one including myself or the Gladitorial Commission will give a 
  hoot about avoids until turn 199. But be sure you get it out of your system prior: 
  if you are caught avoiding on turn 199 (or after), you WILL be disqualified!!

* On the other hand, fielding a partial team is a no-no RIGHT FROM THE START on turn 
  184. You will receive a 3-bottle penalty for any inactive warrior, or 1-bottle 
  penalty for any inactive rookie. And your Bottle total can and will go negative if 
  necessary.

  It is highly recommended that you place your team "on maintenance" to avoid any 
  complications caused due to slow mail or any other unforeseen catastrophy. In case 
  you are not familiar with the term: a team on maintenance will automatically run 
  again with its previous turn's strategies (without the challenges) even if none are 
  sent in or are not received in time, Just send your request to be put on maintenance 
  to CSR@reality.com.

                         Reflections by the Chief Tower Guard

So Avonside takes the throne from Hari-Kari and promptly goes inactive. Well, I'm not 
going to complain, but the Kiwi seems to clearly be the best warrior in this arena, so 
I'm trying to offer the throne back, but my stablemates may interfere with the 
challenge process.

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hey there!

It was a big turn today.  There were 52 fights with 14 challenges.  Nobody died.  
Vikings avoided Royal Flush.

     WOLFMAN JACK (5-4594) (37-8-2,220) of PARTY ANIMALS fought SUPERSIZE ME (47-8110) 
(47-36-2,203) of FAST FOOD.  WOLFMAN JACK was bested by SUPERSIZE ME in a popular 1 
minute brutal brawl.  Supersize me won 21 recognition points for this unsurprising 
victory.
     CUBA (26-3917) (51-33-0,170) of HERE TO PHOENIX fought CHEATING MANAGER (106-6) 
(0-0-0,130).  CUBA was handily defeated by CHEATING MANAGER in a 1 minute mismatched 
bout.  Argh.  I guess Cuba lost 30 recognition points for losing to this stand-in.  
Ouch!
     The most challenged gladiator is Uncle Fester.  FIGHTER ACE (47-1189) (99-67-
6,220) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged UNCLE FESTER (59-2768) (68-90-1,225) of TALL TALES.  
FIGHTER ACE slimly won victory over UNCLE FESTER in a 2 minute Challenge battle.
     Disco Queen is our overall popularity leader this turn.  DISCO QUEEN (47-1992) 
(131-39-3,198) of ROYAL FLUSH fought THE BLACKSMITH (106-22) (0-0-0,181).  DISCO QUEEN 
overpowered THE BLACKSMITH in a 2 minute gruesome one-sided fight.
     THE REFEREE (45-1091) (121-58-4,205) of AVID FANS challenged TRIUMPH (97-7395) 
(38-36-5,207) of CANADIAN CLASSICS.  THE REFEREE savagely defeated TRIUMPH in a crowd 
pleasing 6 minute Challenge duel.  The Ref is this turn's favorite fighter.
     Ooh, embarrassing.  CAPE TOWN (41-5118) (23-18-1,56) of WORLD BLADES 9 fought 
CAPTURED PIRATE KING (106-2) (0-0-0,30).  CAPE TOWN was overpowered by CAPTURED PIRATE 
KING in a 1 minute one-sided brawl.  After getting beat by this stand-in, Cape Town 
was voted least popular fighter in Crysalis.
     Today, Hagar Bluetooth is our Tower Guardian as well as our leading Wall of 
Steel.  WEDNESDAY ADDAMS (73-6043) (36-4-0,321) of CALENDAR GIRLS fought HAGAR 
BLUETOOTH (10-5850) (90-51-2,229) of VIKINGS.  WEDNESDAY ADDAMS was viciously subdued 
by HAGAR BLUETOOTH in a 6 minute Title bout.  By the way, Ms Addams, thank you for the 
column.
     Baldassare is Crysalis' top Parry-Strike.  BALDASSARE (7-6003) (97-57-0,261) of 
SENTINELS fought SUPER GROVER (50-3413) (32-18-0,183) of OPEN SESAME.  BALDASSARE 
overcame SUPER GROVER in a crowd pleasing 2 minute competition.
     The top Total Parry is Rubber Knife.  RUBBER KNIFE (57-2546) (65-20-2,249) of 
USELESS TOOLS fought KING MIDAS (59-2770) (64-88-1,210) of TALL TALES.  RUBBER KNIFE 
overpowered KING MIDAS in a popular 2 minute brutal one-sided duel.
     Our Lunging stylemaster is F.O.A.D.  F.O.A.D. (73-442) (64-28-2,248) of ALPHABET 
SOUP fought RIRORNI CAPTAIN (106-26) (0-0-0,200).  F.O.A.D. devastated RIRORNI CAPTAIN 
in a popular 1 minute one-sided bout.
     PIRES (7-5665) (39-20-1,224) of IMPORTED FOOTBALLERS challenged EARLY MORNINGS 
(84-34548) (49-43-0,227) of THINGS I HATE 2.  PIRES was overcome by EARLY MORNINGS in 
a 3 minute Challenge match.  Early Mornings is our best Aimed Blow, replacing 
Wednesday Addams.
     HAIRY MONSTER (50-3436) (35-24-0,212) of OPEN SESAME challenged KNOS THE AXE (74-
4394) (50-22-1,212) of BATTLEAXE STAMPEDE.  HAIRY MONSTER bested KNOS THE AXE in a 
crowd pleasing 3 minute Challenge fight.  Hairy Monster is our top Striker.
     KING FORADAY (47-3762) (97-68-4,206) of ROYAL FLUSH fought ARENAMASTER SANDAVOL 
(106-28) (0-0-0,200).  KING FORADAY demolished ARENAMASTER SANDAVOL in a 1 minute 
uneven competition.  It's not easy to defeat an Arenamaster, which is why King Foraday 
is now our leading Basher.
     A.O. HELL (54-2523) (50-29-2,194) of USELESS TOOLS challenged HAPPY (50-3399) 
(34-47-1,195) of STRANGE TUNES.  A.O. HELL was viciously subdued by HAPPY in an action 
packed 3 minute Challenge brawl.  And so, Happy is now the top Parry-Lunge.
     Uncle Fester is still the highest ranked Slasher.  FIGHTER ACE (47-1189) (99-67-
6,220) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged UNCLE FESTER (59-2768) (68-90-1,225) of TALL TALES.  
FIGHTER ACE slimly won victory over UNCLE FESTER in a 2 minute Challenge battle.
     Despite losing her fight, Heraja is still the leading Parry-Riposte.  BULL DURHAM 
(5-4324) (86-33-1,198) of PARTY ANIMALS challenged HERAJA (29-1339) (42-38-0,199) of 
BLACK SAMURAI.  BULL DURHAM overpowered HERAJA in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge 
fight.

That is all I can tell you, my friends.  There are other things, secret things, 
classified things, that you would be amazed to read... but my lips, and pen, are 
sealed.  Bye for now.

      will I use a tournament prize on a warrior from this team.
    * I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena.  If circumstances 
      preclude my running less than a full team, I will notify the Player Committee.
    * I agree to abide by the decisions of the Player Committee.

      a tournament prize shall be sent to the Dark Arena until they are dead.
