Gather your alliance-mates and friends. Prepare your warriors and teams. Turf War NINE (TW9) is beginning the mid-Feb 2014 turn right after the winter Face in DM47 North Fork (currently MAMBOLAND). Alliances -- 2 to 4 teams Cost -- two Rollup CERTS Prizes -- certs, potions, honor & glory Length -- 10 turns Moderators -- same old Oz and Master Darque Rules, including details, are below. ..................................................................................... *TURF WAR 9 RULES* Starting Mid-Feb 2014 (10 turns) Bring acclaim and glory to the North Fork (DM47) arena. Anyone may participate; known alliances, new alliances, or temporary alliances created solely to compete in the Turf War! To participate, each alliance must: 1. Announce the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter. 2. Indicate in the newsletter which Captain/alliance you will join. 3. Announcements made on the D2 Forums or elsewhere will not be accepted. Captains are responsible for: 1. Verifying/authorizing, in the North Fork newsletter, those who wish to participate under the banner of their alliance. The confirmation/verification must occur after, or in the same newsletter, but not before, the participant's declaration. (Lack of participant indication of joining and/or subsequent lack of Captain confirmation will delay a team's participation in the Turf War.) 2. Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War. 3. Submit two (2) RSI Roll-Up Certificates to participate. (Note: Captains may, if they wish, submit certs for all potential members of their alliance.) Participating managers who are not Captains must: 1. Submit two (2) RSI Roll-Up Certificates to participate. (Unless already submitted by Captain. Note: extras will not be returned, but will go into the winning pool of prizes.) 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 or Chatzy will not be accepted. a. No scores will be tabulated until two RSI Gift Certificates are received, and participant indication and captain confirmation are posted in the North Fork newsletter. 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 in the same or subsequent newsletter by the alliance Captain they will represent. c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. No arena multiple teams or aliases will be allowed. Violations will 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 team warriors). d. Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams/alliances that do not properly declare or get captain confirmation 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 score 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 3 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. (Note: the intent is to have a very thorough set of rules so that few decisions, if any, are required from the moderators.) Scoring will be as follows for Fights: Team Points a. Fights made: (includes DA fights) 1 = 0 points 2 = 0 points 3 = 1 point 4 = 3 points 5 = 5 points b. Wins earned; 1 = 1 point 2 = 3 points 3 = 6 points 4 = 10 points 5 = 15 points c. Champion win = 3 additional points d. Down Challenge = (-5) points each (DM is exempt from DC rule) e. Team with most wins per round earns 4 additional points (If ties, points are split 2/2, 1/1/1, 1/1/1/1, no points if 5+ tie) Alliance Points (Rounds 1 through 5) a. Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made) All (each) team of the alliance fights 1 to 3 wariors = 3 points All (each) team fights 4+ warriors = 6 points All (each) team fights all five warriors = 9 b. Alliance with most wins per that round = 5 points Tie breakers, in order, are: least losses, most total recognition points (if still tied after that, no points awarded). Alliance Points (Rounds 6 through 10 as alliance point scoring doubles) c. Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made) All (each) team of the alliance fights 1 to 3 wariors = 6 points All (each) team fights 4+ warriors = 12 points All (each) team fights all five warriors = 18 d. Alliance with most wins per that round = 10 points Tie breakers, in order, are: least losses, most total recognition points if still tied after that, no points awarded). Champions: 1. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory. It is to the team's/alliance's advantage that you do so. 2. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time. 3. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior or the Dark Arena, may be replaced. 4. Champions must have fought at least one previous fight in the North Fork (DM47 arena) to be able to be declared a champion. 5. A Champion can be declared on any round and point factors will begin that same turn. (Must meet above 4 conditions prior to declaring) 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.) Downchallenges: 1. A downchallenge occurs when a warrior challenges a warrior with lesser recognition points. 2. No challenge or bloodfeud by The Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge. 3. No challenge of the Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge. 4. Bloodfeuds against warriors with lesser recognition are deemed downchallenges. Tournament Considerations: 1. Tournament participation is allowed and ENCOURAGED as a great form of recognition for North Fork. 2. It is an opportunity to gain skills and preferred challenging within the Turf War. Special Considerations: 1. Each alliance begins the Turf War with zero (0) points. 2. 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. 3. There will be a maximum of four (4) teams/managers allowed per alliance for the Turf War VII. The minimum is two (2). 4. The Dark Arena may be used at any time without penalty. 5. If at any time, the Moderators determine that any non-TW 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 to desist from play in the arena until after the Turf War concludes. Prizes: The Turf War is meant to be a "winner takes all" contest. All prizes, except the Endu award listed below, and 100% of the Gift Certificates will be awarded to the Captain of the winning alliance at the end of the competition. It is the responsibility of the Captain to distribute Gift Certificates. Moderators will submit a list of each manager on the winning alliance to RSI at the completion of the contest for the non-Certificate prizes. All entry fees (rollup certs) are awarded to the winning alliance. The following prizes have been secured from RSI: 1. Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena; 2. Renaming of all Dark Arena Monsters 3. Known Favorites for one DM47 warrior on each team of the winning alliance (warrior must be ranked Initiate or above, must be alive, and must have at least one DM47 arena fight to receive this award). 4. +1 Skill bonus (three) for each manager on the winning alliance. Bonus potions must be applied to living warriors from DM 47, no more than two skills per warrior. 5. +1 Skill bonus potion (one) for each and every individual manager who fights in all 10 rounds AND 45 fights of the Turf War. Bonus potion must be applied to a living warrior from (DM 47) (Endu award) 6. Two additional rollup certs for each manager of the winning alliance from RSI. These RSI awards will be listed by the Moderator for claiming from RSI (Lee) within 4 turns of the end of TW VI. The certs will be mailed to the winning alliance by the Moderators within two weeks of the end of the TW. Moderators: The Moderators for this event will be Oz and Master Darque. They will arbitrate all dealings during the course of the contest. Their decisions will be final. All questions, comments, and scoring disputes may be directed to Land of Oz or Darque Forces via diplo in DM 47. Managers with internet access may send a private message to [The Consortium] or [Darque] on the Duel2 Forums. Lastly, you may also email questions, comments, and scoring disputes to rebelnerfherder at yahoo dot com or wfms101 at aol dot com. Please note there have been rule changes from the last Turf War. Please read them carefully noting the following concepts/changes: 1. simpler scoring based primarily on wins and fight participation 2. DA is treated as simply another fight 3. Down-challenging is penalized 4. no emphasis/scoring on kills 5. 10 rounds DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. I won't say much.

Good luck to all. Yosemite SPY REPORT Greetings, warriors of ARKERS! Once again I've been called out of retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. Biff! Pow! ARKERS watched with glee as WEIRD ALCHEMY got knocked off top spot by THE BROKEN CLAN! Phhbltt! Too much drinking and too little dodging gave WEIRD ALCHEMY a 0-0-0! I got a good laugh out of it! Ya gotta be quick on yer feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! THE BROKEN CLAN is now ranked 1st with a 3-2-0 turn. THE BRETHREN showed ARKERS what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 4-1-0. What's with STEEL SPAR? He actually beat YOU PAY I SLAY's FIELDER, and walked away with 23 more points from the fight. Major screwup at YOU PAY I SLAY. FIELDER lost 18 points to STEEL SPAR. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe FIELDER will provide more easy wins... What a role model for ARKERS' young 'uns! YOSEMITE becomes Duelmaster, but don't bother to fight no more! I can barely restrain my enthusiam for THE BRETHREN's outstanding member, Duelmaster XARGOTH. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, WEIRD ALCHEMY! Management must be dealin', as the boys at STEEL PROPHETS ain't reelin'! WEIRD ALCHEMY's mad! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, ORVILLE ROUSE! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that PORT-A-FORTRESS gets in. He fights people like LELAND OLVEN, 10 points below. I thought PORT-A-FORTRESS showed great skill and promise when he won victory over LELAND OLVEN. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Warriors of ARKERS unite. You have only your games to lose! We all knew it had to happen sooner or later. A warrior can't stick around with a 7-13-0, and PYRAT IRONFORGED easily took care of ORVILLE ROUSE. Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty. Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it before you read it. Oh, well. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and good luck.

Great start! You don't look so broken to me. -- Curator, Smithsonian P.S. Welcome to Arkers. Longshot -- DM83 is indeed, small. But the managers there are very Andorian in character. They would love to have you join them. Meanwhile, I think THIS is the place to be. All Hail Arkers. -- Curator (Consortium affiliated) P.S. One sad thing nowadays is how so many arenas are used for tournament prep and sandbagging. Grrrrrrr. Pyrat -- Whaddaya mean? I thought I was fully clothed. Did my plate look crinkled? -- Mayflower Orville Rouse -- Are you the same guy who sank The Bismarck? -- Mayflower (docking for repairs) Imerta Loel -- It was my day and it was a big hill to climb! -- Iwo Jima Harold Of Dume -- I was smokin', wasn't I?! -- Lucky Strikes Veteran Merc -- Thanks for filling in. -- Yosemite Health. Humility. Honor. -- Curator The Broken Clan!!! 70 big points! 5-0! Wow! I am impressed. Welcome. I think I am avoiding. -- Mr. Zee Xargoth -- You let me down. I was sure you would write a Duelmaster Column. Tsk. Tsk. -- Mr. Zee Nmaster battery -- Thank the gods, I use Energizer! Zinc works wonders, they say. -- Zinc (grinning widely) Blue Flak -- Shut me down, did you? I am beginning to lose faith in myself. -- Zoo Kotter Nahl -- I needed that! Everyone was forgetting who I am! -- Zork 2-1, Z Gladiators. Not bad. Let's go out and have a big turn. Yes! -- The Zee Man (giving his win-one-for-the-Gipper speech) Curator -- First; I am not whining. Why is telling the truth called whining? It's not like it doesn't happen. You congratulated Khisanth for doing the same thing on Turn 365. A seven fight warrior gets an invite to the Isle?!?!?! He only did that because he fought mostly in tourneys and skipped regular play. How can you brag about doing that? It looks like Fielder is doing the same thing. A lunger who fights with two medium shields and plate armour? So, he can safely lose, stay down in the lower ranks, and continue fighting in tourneys? That's class?!?!? Second; why are you so upset about my comments about Arkers? You were never singled out. Perhaps YOU should look within. There aren't any more mega-managers. They are just mega spenders. -- Port-A-Fortress Yosemite -- I don't need your pity. I am a 16-7-0 warrior who has only fought in two tourneys. My first tourney appearance I went 7-3-0. I'm no sandbagger. Can you say the same? -- Port-A-Fortress Leland Olven -- You taught me A LOT of skills. So, I was saying I wanted to fight you again. But alas, you are very popular. -- Ocean Size. Fielder -- Two medium shields and plate, again? At least I have an excuse. -- Port- A-Fortress Dingo McGee -- We have got to STOP meeting like this. -- Ocean Pain Magnet -- We have got to STOP meeting. -- Ria Our congratulations to Yosemite. A fine park. -- Jorja and the Middle Way Mayflower -- Think of me as a reef, eh? -- Orville Rouse Iwo Jima -- You're a little tall for a dwarf, aren't you? -- Imerta Loel Penny -- Gotta charge more than that. -- Leland Olven Zork -- From your name, you should be an orc, but you do fight like a cat. -- Kotter Nahl LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS HAROLD OF DUME was butchered by WURM KIN in a 1 minute Dark Arena fight.
