DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
It was a good fight, Iron Man, and I'm a little surprised that I won. Not
upset, mind you, but surprised.
Lunar Coyote
SPY REPORT
Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.
I doubt KOLACT will ever be the same. And let's see, REESE SILEEN fought IRON MAN
and gained 16 points and contributed to THE MOONDOGS' 3-2-0. IRON MAN has lost to
REESE SILEEN, falling 10 points, while helping make SABBATH a 4-1-0 turn. We should
ask OZZY about the thrill of victory, and what being the new Duelmaster does for a
warrior, he's now the one to ask. By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw
last night, cramped under the table at Don Corleone's?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. Well, sports fans, take notice that REESE SILEEN from THE
MOONDOGS was KOLACT's most challenged warrior this turn.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. We'd like to remind certain teams
not to rob the graves of their enemies. You know who you are; and it's considered
rude.
I like this place, KOLACT, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? Always good to rest in KOLACT, but never good to wear out my
welcome. Look for me in future turns. Until you see my quill in KOLACT again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Lunar Coyote -- Snort, snort, snort! -- Warpig
Lunar Coyote -- Here I come! -- Ozzy
Warpig -- (with gloomy satisfaction) My momma always did tell me that pork didn't
agree with me. And by the gods, she's right. -- Deimos
Oh, dear, a Captured Orc. I never know what to do with them. -- Reese Sileen
I know exactly what to do with the wussy Fratsfa Slave. But the arenamaster stopped
me. -- Joleen Kruz
My grampa says that usery is a Bad Thing, maybe even a sin, and it should be
punished. I always listen to my grampa. -- Orbin Paes
Iron Man and Warpig -- It's the full moon. That's always *my* time. -- Lunar Coyote
N.I.B. -- Some things I don't put up with. -- Silver Lotus, maligned concubine
Ozzy -- Always pleasant to win. Let me buy you a drink. -- M. Porliu Chardinee
P.S. Just one, mind.
Dio -- Did somebody actually tell you that I was a "tame" dwarf? Incredible what
people will say. -- Steel-hand Harnak, Dwarf of Khalhums and other places
Reese Sileen -- You do this on purpose, don't you? -- Travek Krag, resentful,
wrongfully imprisoned orc
P.S. Is it paranoia when I have real enemies?
Joleen Kruz -- (whimper) -- a nameless Fratsfa Slave
Orbin Paes -- Hmm, I knew I should have sent in the leg-breakers. -- Gilseppe
Verondo, Merchant at Large
P.S. For some reason, they were nowhere to be found when I called them for arena
duty.

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 alliance and the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork
(DM 47) newsletter.
2. Announcements made on the D2 Forums will not be accepted.
Captains are responsible for:
1. Verifying those who wish to participate under the banner of their
alliance;
2. Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War.
3. Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate
Participating managers who are not Captains must:
1. Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate
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 will not be accepted.
a. No scores will be tabulated until a Gift Certificate is received.
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
by the alliance Captain they will represent.
c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. No multiple teams or
aliases will be allowed. Violations will result in immediate
disqualification from the Turf War (so be sure to take any
multiple teams OFF of Team Maintenance).
d. Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams that do not properly
declare 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 scoring
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 5 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.
Scoring will be as follows for Fights:
Win Loss Kill Die
Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5
Match Up +1 -1 +1 -5
Bloodfeud +2 -5 +5 -10
Champion x2 x2 x2 x2
Dark Arena* +10 -5 xx xx
*After 2nd win, warrior scores no points for wins
Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows:
Spy Report mention (team name only) +2
Style Master +2
Duelmaster +2
Champions:
1. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory.
2. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time.
3. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior in the arena, but
not the Dark Arena, may be replaced.
4. Champions must be in the Adepts bracket or lower on the turn they are
declared, and may NOT have gone above Adepts level at any time; this
includes teams transferred into North Fork for the Turf War.
Bloodfeuds:
1. Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns.
2. There is no limit to which warrior may bloodfeud or how often.
Tournament Considerations:
1. Tournament participation is ALLOWED and encouraged.
2. Tournament Victors won during the course of the contest will gain a one
(1) time bonus of 25 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a
warrior(s) wins such status.
3. Tournament Champions won during the course of the contest will gain a one
(1) time bonus of 50 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a
warrior(s) win such status.
4. Points for TVs and TCs will be applied the Turn after RSI posts
tournament results in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter (i.e., if the
results post on North Fork turn 275, points will be credited on North
Fork turn 276 to the applicable teams).
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 seven (7) teams allowed per alliance for the
Turf War.
4. The Dark Arena may be used on the first turn only, of every warrior,
without penalty.
Prizes:
The Turf War is a "winner take all" contest. All prizes and 100% of the Gift
Certificates will be awarded to the Captain of the winning alliance. 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.
The following prizes have been secured from RSI:
1. Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena;
2. Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters (one for each manager in the winning
alliance);
3. Known Favorites for one warrior on each team of the winning alliance
(warrior must be ranked Initiate or above, must be alive, and must have
at least one arena fight to receive this award).
4. +1 Skill bonus potion for each manager on the winning alliance. Bonus
potion must be applied to a living warrior from (DM 47)
5. +1 Skill bonus potion (one) for each 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)
These awards will be listed by the Moderator for claiming from RSI (Lee) within 4
turns of the end of TW VI.
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
