                             Notes from the arena champ.

Of course. You can count on me for a DM Column. I have been waiting for ages to get 
the honor of writing one.

It has been a long road. Finally at 19-11-0 I fight my way to the top.  I had to 
challenge the current (Well, he was current.) DM, Ugarg Snotsnik, for a title chance, 
and I prevailed! DUELMASTER.

So let me tell you all about me, because I am sure you are just dying ("dying" -- get 
it?) to know. My stats look something like this:

     17-8-6-17-10-13-13 mode Striker
     Well, mostly mode, as I am ambidextrous.
     Normal Endurance, Good Damage.
     Adexperts in Attack and decise and Experts in Riposte and Defense
     19-11-0 in the arena with no tournament action
     I used a lot of different weapons with results like this:
          GA = 23/76/10
          SC = 8/26/6
          DA = 5/18/0
          WH 2/16/0
          HA = 0/4/0
          LO = 0/7/0
          SS = 0/6/0
          SH = 0/2/0
          FI = 0/3/0
     I am hoping to be a scimitar guy. Could it be?

I am done fighting in Arkers, (having been deemed a Lord Protector) and am done with 
the arena stuff. i will retire and do what I can to help on The Isle. Maybe I can work 
the concession stands or something?

Anyway, this is a farewell from me. Maybe I will catch you on the Isle some day.

                                          -- Zephyr, DMI

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in ARKERS a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as INFOMERCIALS is pushed out of top team by Z GLADIATORZ, who came from 
2nd with a 2-0-0 this turn.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are 
sorrows to drown for THE CHOSEN, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 7th.  
TRIAL BY COMBAT stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-1 into a 4 space move up the 
rankings.  This brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  And let's see, 
MAGNETIC WOMBAT fought EIGER THE HARDY and gained 64 points and contributed to 
UNLIKELY HEROES' 1-0-1.  RADTEEF WAZGRIM has lost to TROLL FIRE HAMMER, falling 17 
points, while helping make BLOODY HAND CLAN a 3-2-1 turn.  Due to hers absence and 
inability to defend the throne, ZEPHYR has lost the title of Duelmaster.  And all 
eyes were on MAGNETIC WOMBAT this turn as it ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  
ARKERS has a new victor!  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from 
unimpeachable sources that The Warty Toad uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about 
gristle!   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  SMITHSONIAN has cause to stand tall, as they were ARKERS' 
most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  And guess who 
avoided SMITHSONIAN stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was TRIAL BY COMBAT.  
Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was LADIES IN WAITING's 
warrior MISS MATCHED.  More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Hearty mugs of ale were raised in ARKERS today as EIGER THE HARDY 
was bid farewell to a 27-11-0 warrior, with MAGNETIC WOMBAT of UNLIKELY HEROES 
standing silent and pensive.  I guess it was coming sooner or later, BLOODY HAND CLAN 
has lost NATRUZ MUDSLAG, and ARKERS is bound to miss her.  For a little while, at 
least.  The bigger they are, as they say.  And what I say is that MAGNETIC WOMBAT had 
better watch out for THE CHOSEN, seeing as EIGER THE HARDY felled it this turn.  A 
brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the 
fight is over.  Consider well.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your 
swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets to 
paper-- Alarond the Scribe

                       TURF WAR XII -- TW12       (Rev 8-8-20)
                      (Start turn after FTF or Mailer JAN 2021)

                   Bring acclaim and glory to the North Fork (DM47)

TURF WARS is a team event and unlike all other events in D2, involves "certs."

Anyone may participate; known alliances, new alliances, thrown-together alliances, or 
temporary alliances created solely to compete in the Turf War!  To participate, each 
alliance or participant must:

1.  Announce an Alliance Name, Captain, and Assistant of the alliance in the North 
    Fork (DM 47) newsletter or on the RSI site. 

2.  Determine and submit either 1 or 2 or 3 certificates per participant. Amounts can 
    be different per alliance participant. (See Scoring section for more details.)

3.  Each participating team must run in DM47 on one of the three turns prior to the 
    start of TW12 so that the team shows in the last newsletter prior to the 1st TW12 
    turn.

At the end of the game, Captains are responsible for distributing any winning 
certificates to the team participants.

No alliance scores can be tabulated until the chosen amount of RSI Gift Certificates 
are received, the teams are listed in the newsletter, and participant indication and 
captain confirmation are posted in the North Fork newsletter.

All entry certs should be sent to Oz or The Consortium via RSI.

Only one (1) team per player/manager may compete in the Turf Wars, and only one team 
per player/manager may compete in North Fork DM47 during the Turf War. 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). NOTE: Since alliances require two teams, this would mean the remaining 
alliance member cannot score in the TW.

Any Turf War team must show/be posted/listed in the DM47 Newsletter just prior to 
their actual scoring/participation. (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.) Manager/teams may not participate/score in the 
Turf War the same turn they are first posted in the newsletter. (So get your team in 
the newsletter early.) Teams do not have to run that turn prior to TW12-T1, but will 
have had to run shortly before to allow their warriors to be visible in the newsletter 
just prior to TW12-T1.

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, confirmation, NL listing, and Gift 
Certificate received.

No declarations or confirmations will be accepted after Turn 2 of the Turf War. 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.)

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 -25 points.)

SCORING will be as follows: Only three things affect scoring. Number of initial certs 
submitted, wins, fighting all five warriors, and the round modifier. (Later rounds 
have higher modifiers.)

NUMBER OF CERTS SUBMITTED

1. Alliances will start the competition with the amount of points based on the amount 
   of certs submitted.

          Two certs (1 each, the minimum required) = 0 points.
          Three certs total = 3 points for the alliance
          Four certs total = 6 points for the alliance
          Five certs total = 10 for the alliance
          Six certs (the max) total = 15 for the alliances

2. After the sixth and after the eleventh round those same amount of turn starting 
   points are awarded to each alliance.

3. Hence, alliances may earn up to 45 points through the event via certs. (Note: cert 
   points are not impacted by the Round Modifier.)

NUMBER OF WINS

1. Each teammate win per round is worth 3 base points. (e.g. 1 win = 3 points, 5 wins 
   = 15 points)

FIGHT ALL FIVE WARRIORS

1. Each turn there is a +3 base point bonus for each teammate fighting all five 
   warriors

2. Each turn there is a -3 base point penalty for each teammate not fighting all five 
   warriors.

ROUND MODIFIER

1. The first 6 rounds of TW12 are scored at 1x base points. (Base points includes win 
   scoring, and any all-5 bonus/penalty, but not any cert scoring)

2. The 7th through 11th rounds are scored at 2x base points.

3. For the final and 12th round, base point scoring is at x3.

Special Considerations:

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

2. Each alliance is comprised of two and only two managers.

3. The Dark Arena may be used without penalty. (Limit twice per warrior.)

4, If at any time, the Moderators determine that any non-TW team in the arena is
