SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, KOLACT? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. THIRSTY THUGS turned their 2-0-0 turn
into a 3rd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get
put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BELLY win a fight
and gain 16 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, BLUE MOON beat GREEN RIPPER and GREEN RIPPER
lost 13 points. You're breakin' my heart. LIZZIE challenged KOLACT's Duelmaster for
a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as LIZZIE takes
the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. Don
Corleone's, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this
stuff? From KOLACT's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. NEON
DIAMONDS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.
Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass act of
cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was ROGUES GALLERY. Ha ha ha ha!
CLAUDIA was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for KOLACT's
morgue. More variety. Not that I'll be buying the drinks, but I'll be glad to see
LIZZIE and ROGUES GALLERY at Don Corleone's tonight celebrating their bloodfeud
victory over STING. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is
developing these kinds of weapons?
There's got to be a better place in KOLACT to get a drink than Don Corleone's!
Any suggestions? Phlllt! Just had to do that before I leave the fine city of
KOLACT. I feel much better now. Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide Clemens

*official TURF WAR 14 (TW14) RULES* (revision 9-6-24-WS)
Starting Turn 480 (Feb 10, appx date), just after the FTF, 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. Indicate in the newsletter or on the RSI site the three team alliance.
(3 Team names, 3 manager names, and an alliance title)
2. Pay RSI or deduct from account ($15) per manager as entry fee indicating for TW14.
(a change from past TWs). RSI will hold as "certs" in a separate account for TW14
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)
