Just need a clarification on the down challenge points.

The way I'm reading it is -10 points for winning a down challenge if you are the issuer of that down challenge and no points for losing a down challenge if you are the receiver. Same for a down challenge kill.

If I am reading it correctly, and I may not be, you may want to clarify that a little more clearly so there is no confusion.

The way you are reading this is correct. This puts an end to DCs and those who use such tricks to get easy wins and easy points. If we penalize them for doing it....they won't do it.

Just trying to keep all things on an even basis.

To play devils advocate:

So if my 0-1-0 SL with 3 rec points challenges an 0-1-0 WS and wins - I'm -10?

Same would go for the 6-2-0 LU with 34 rec points challenging the 9-6-0 PR with 32 points?

Seems to me this was addresses in the rules. Look at them again for this note he put.

Consortium; Thank you much. It took a long time, and a little editing, but I finally found one I liked.

DJI will, of course, participate in the Turf War. Kat, Master Darque, and Maxmillian are the alliance members - associated fighting under our banner will be announced soon.

Glad you posted the names of the DE, but one thing I forgot to mention in my first post was that only 7 teams could participate in one alliance. So, went back and editted the rules as they were posted. The reason I bring this up is that the DE have 8 listed in your posting, Blacktorm...one too many.

Besides, nothing is finalized until it's posted in the North Fork newsletter.

The all-arena ad should be posted this turn. Sandy said she'd be posting the ad.

Could be mistaken, but aren't Wasby and Osiris the same person. I thought that I read that somewhere, or reality/fantasy are starting blur together in my world.

As an adder to this, it is likely that The Fellowship will again be six as a true RETURN OF THE SCOMSS is probable. While Spawn, an original, cannot return to be with us, another S (to be announced at the appropriate time) will likely take his place.
