                             Notes from the arena champ.

Well, Claw gave it the ol' parting shot, but I'm not even sure he knows what his 
favorites are. Rubber match to the Pipelayer!  Back on top, baby!

I don't know if anyone is actually going to TRY to knock me off the throne or not. A 
couple have a shot, but I'm not sure how much they want or need it.  We'll see.

Not much else going on here in Mordant. I'm going to go have a drink with Amathus, see 
how foolish we both can get.May the gods guide your blows straight and true!

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, MORDANT?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Later days, BLACK ARMADA, since BLACK 
MONASTARY took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Now keep the 
taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for YUPPIE IDIOMS 201, 
whose 1-3-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 15th.  Ha!  FANTASIA turned their 3-1-0 
turn into a 10th place rank in the listings this turn.  Any better than this, and you 
get put on hit lists.  Now let's all watch ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA's heads swell from their 
4-1-0 this turn.  Haa ha ha ha!  Big shots, big talk, big deal.  Of course, we're all 
terribly impressed to see FLEET CAPTAIN win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly.  
Tsk, tsk, CHANCE beat LIMA BEAN BEAR and LIMA BEAN BEAR lost 11 points.  You're 
breakin' my heart.  And if variety is the spice of life, MORDANT may be getting 
bland, as PIPELAYER stays top dog in the city.  Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and 
bribes, how else do you think some of these guys win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start 
talking.' I loved that woman.  What's the big D?  SIMPLY DESSERTS was the most 
avoided team?  Bunch of lily livered... grumble... mumble... curse...  And who led 
the way in this mass act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was BLACK 
ARMADA.  Ha ha ha ha!  SHIRLEY was challenged more times this turn than the 
Duelmaster.  Now was the DM insulted or feared?  Heh, heh.  Now look at this.  
GERIATRIC BEAR challenged down 44 against SIMPLY DESSERTS' TRIFLE.  What a weasel!  
GERIATRIC BEAR was beat by TRIFLE!  Ok, GERIATRIC BEAR want to fight my grandmother 
next turn?  Huh?   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for MORDANT's 
morgue.  More variety.  And sending CRAKE to the Dark Arena was supposed to be one of 
your better ideas, ZOMBIE SQUAD?  It's about time AVARICE got beat for picking on 
warriors like FIX YOUR FACE.  Bravo, YUPPIE IDIOMS 201.  See you at Conan's Place.  
Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.  Certain nameless 
cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.   
     What does the MORDANT arena have in common with the inns?  It's just as 
comfortable to sleep in either place.  Ha ha ha ha!  Phlllt!  Just had to do that 
before I leave the fine city of MORDANT.  I feel much better now.  Glad to see the 
back of this place-- Snide Clemens

Glurttony -- Looks like you bit off more than you could chew. Sometimes what you eat 
comes back on you. -- Bark Troll

Steve -- I know it was a random match, but you shouldn't have gone and done that. 
*sigh* Here we go. -- Hot Rods

The Wall -- Wow! and I thought that I was old. -- Hundingsbana

I'm glad somebody is keeping you entertained, I certainly can't.  My computer is sick 
unto death, probably covid.  I have a second computer sitting here waiting to be 
hooked up, so we'll see.  It may work, or not, you know how it is with computers that 
sit around unused. -- Jorja
P.S.  I really miss the kaypro.

   and distribute as Team RUs to winners of TW14. 
   DO NOT send, or have sent, certs to the Moderators. 
   Must be completed prior to Dec 31, 2024.

3. Teams and alliances will not start scoring until the turn after they appear in the 
   newsletter and are announced. This means that to start scoring on turn 1, the teams 
   must be listed in the newsletter on Turn 479.

Other rules and discussion.

1. Only one (1) team per manager/player may be active in the arena.

2. If at any time, the Moderators determine that any non-TW team, whether a 2nd team 
   or a non-TW manager's team, in the arena is aiding and/or abetting any TW alliance 
   or team, the affected points won by the gifted team/alliance will be disallowed and 
   the aiding non-TW team will be asked/demanded to desist from play in the arena 
   until after the Turf War concludes. 

3. As usual, any Turf War team must be shown/be posted in the DM47 Newsletter just 
   prior to the actual scoring/participation start on T480 (e.g. new teams, transfers, 
   current teams must show up in the newsletter prior to the beginning of 
   participation, allowing opponent knowledge and challenging/avoiding). Violations 
   could result in immediate manager disqualification (including team point 
   adjustments) from the Turf War, so be sure to take any multiple teams OFF of Team 
   Maintenance and be certain not to run any other teams' warriors.

4. The moderators will score the Turf War and settle any and all disputes as they 
   arise. Their decisions will be final. (Note: the intent is to have a very thorough 
   set of rules so that few decisions, if any, are required from the moderators.)

5. Definitions:
   Team = individual Manager's 5-Team Stable
   Alliance = three Teams united

6. No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death or 
   death in a tournament or graduation. There must be a maximum of five only on a team 
   at any point and time. (The penalty for such substitution is -10 points.)

7. It is not the spirit of competition to challenge fellow members of the same 
   alliance. Hence, challenges as such will be scored as losses for both warriors.

8. Downchallenges: A downchallenge is defined as a warrior challenging a warrior with 
   lesser recognition points.
   No challenge or bloodfeud by The Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.
   No challenge of the Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.
   Bloodfeuds against warriors with lesser recognition are deemed downchallenges.

9. Tournament participation is allowed and encouraged as a great form of acclaim and 
   recognition for North Fork and is an opportunity for warriors to gain skills and 
   preferred challenging within the Turf War.

10. There will be NO alliance or team changes once the contest has begun. If you begin 
   the Turf War with Alliance A, you must end the Turf War with Alliance A. If you 
   begin the Turf War with Team A, you must end the Turf War with Team A.

11. The Dark Arena may be used at any time without penalty. However, only one win 
   against a D.A. Monster per each stable warrior shall count as a win. Additional 
   wins will count as a loss for that warrior.

12. It is highly recommended that managers direct RSI to place your team ON 
   MAINTENANCE for the TW14 duration so that your team will fight (and earn points) 
   even if your submitted new strategies are delayed or don't make it.

          _____________________________________________________________________

SCORING will be as follows for Fights:

Team Points

  a. Wins earned: 
          0 = -1 points
          1 = +1 point
          2 = +2 points
          3 = +4 points
          4 = +6 points
          5 = =8 points

  b. Down Challenge = (-10) points to the challenger and opponent is credited with a 
     win for point scoring. The DM is exempt from DC rule/penalty.

  c. Four teams will score. The lowest scoring team per round will count duplicate as 
     the 4th team.

  d. Team with most wins per round earns 3 additional points; if ties, no points 
     awarded; no tiebreaker on wins.

Alliance Points

  a. If the three-team alliance fights all 15 fights = 5 Points

     Team points (from 3 teams plus the duplicate) + alliance points = Total Alliance 
     Points(TAP) for the round.

Round Modifier:

  a. Round Modifiers (Multiplier times TAP(Total Alliance Points
     Rounds 1-4 = 1.0; rounds 5-8 = 2.0; rounds 9 and 10 = 3.0.

The Alliance with the most points after turn 10 is THE WINNER!

        ________________________________________________________________________

PRIZES:

The Turf War is meant to be a near "winner takes all" contest. Moderators will submit 
a list of each prize won (by each Manager) at the completion of the contest. RSI 
awarded prizes must then be claimed by the manager from RSI Customer Service within 4 
months. The team rollups won will be distributed by RSI to the winners shortly after 
receipt of the prize list from the Moderators.

Entry Fee Awards:

   *** Winning alliance gets 80% of the pooled team rollups.

   *** 2nd place alliance gets 10% of the pooled team rollups.

   *** Individual Team with most wins in 10 rounds gets 10% of the pooled team rollups

RSI awards may only be applied to DM47 warriors who fought in TW14. These prizes 
cannot create an out-of-bounds warrior, and only one prize may be applied to any 
warrior, meaning that if you win two prizes they cannot be applied to the same 
warrior. All prizes must be used within 4 months. 

Winning alliance: Each manager/team receives:

  ** One Limited Damage Bump (bump one level damage)
  ** One Stat replace (remove 2 SZ, replace 2 to any single other stat) 
  ** One Favorite weapon knowledge 
  ** One +1 base skill potion.

2nd place: Each manager/team receives:

  ** One Favorite weapon knowledge 
  ** One free stat raise (not SZ)

Participation Award: 

  *** to all teams/managers who fight 45 to 47 fights (of 50) = 1 base skill potion
  *** if 48+ fights (of 50) = 2 base skill potions (each to a different warrior)
