SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Nothing is certain in TOBIR, with changing
loyalties, changing Duelmasters. Write this down: new top team--BIO WARFARE. BIO
WARFARE posted a nice gain, to come in 1st. Everybody loves a winner... BIO WARFARE
had cause to celebrate, after E COLI got 10 points by beating DELARQUAN SAILOR. A
certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 4
points to ENCLOPLASMIC. (Discrete enough, BWUCE REE?) ANDILLIA found out that TOBIR
isn't a democracy. You've gotta be the best to be Duelmaster here! Word has it one
team in TOBIR is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in THE
DEATH SQUAD are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like a
pup with its tail between its legs, FOREIGN LEGION scurried away from THE DEATH
SQUAD. Oh, the shame!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Oh hard! that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be wasting!
Do not think spyreporting in TOBIR is the highlight of my life. More important
duties call me. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Encloplasmic -- Have you noticed how saying your name sounds like talking with your
nose stuffed up? Just thought I'd mention it. -- Andillia
P.S. Or maybe a mouth full of mashed potatoes.
Golgi Apparatus -- Must be lots of fun thumbing your nose at convention and not
writing a column. But then, women are so often unreliable. No sense of
responsibility. -- Chichi-Hooey
P.S. Hmm, Leeta tells me that I shouldn't say stuff like that, it sounds too much
like sour grapes. Wouldn't you know, the one time I sound off, she's paying
attention? But I stand by it. Being Politically Correct can be so BORING.
Russian Winter -- Snowsnowsnow, right? I know about stuff like that, and I hate it.
Snow belongs on solstice cards and the tops of mountains, and that's it. -- Gerbent
P.S. Only a megalomaniac would go attacking some other area REGARDLESS of the
season. What do you want with miles and miles of miles and miles, after all? You
can only stand on one spot at a time.
Red Blood Cell -- Gosh, that's just delicious! So many people don't like to even
THINK of a dog getting a taste of blood, but I gotta tell you, we love it. Thanks.
-- Scruff
Ah. Well, the Polite Beggar WAS polite, and as gentle an introduction to dueling as
I could probably hope for. So, okay. What's next? -- Tipar Kuroo
25 September 2006
It is obvious that the Dark Knights wish to be shown the light. Allow me to step
forward and blind them with truth. YOU ARE WORTHLESS!!! The Dark Knights are so
afraid of the light that they hide behind their black armor and empty threats. It is
too bad they are unwilling to actually FIGHT us! I guess our natural light is too
bright for you all to face! Fear us, for we are here! -- Gemini Goldphoenix,
Overlord of the Avengers of Light!

2. Before a manager can compete, he/she must declare and be verified by the
Captain of the alliance he/she has claimed for;
3. Only one (1) team per player may compete. NO multiple aliases please.

4. The contest will begin on the turn following the January F2F and run for 12
turns.
5. The turn a declaration and verification will begin the scoring process.
6. No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 10 of the Turf

7. For the purpose of scoring, I reserve the right to make all final decisions.
Scoring:
Win Loss Kill Die

Match-Up +1 -1 +1 -5
Bloodfeud +2 -5 +5 -10
Champion x2 x2 x2 x2
Downchallenge -10 xx -10 xx
Dark Arena +10 -5 xx xx
Special Scoring:
a. Each mention in the Spy Report is worth 2 points (team mentions only!)
b. Each Style Master is worth 2 points.
c. Duelmaster Throne is worth 2 points
Champions:
a. Champions may be declared, but are not mandatory. If declared, the Champion
must be in the Adepts or lower brackets on the turn they are declared
without having gone above the Adepts bracket at any time...including
transferred teams. (I'll be watching for this occurrence!)
Bloodfeuds:
a. Bloodfeuds count for all four (4) turns. However, the same warrior may not
be used all four turns. 4 turns means 4 separate warriors. A penalty of
-10 will be given to the team who violates this.
Special Conditions:
a. I reserve the right for all final decisions.
b. If I make a mistake, I'll multiply the points by 2.
c. If you claim I did, and *YOU* are wrong, I'll subtract points at the rate of
x10.
d. Each alliance begins with zero (0) points.
e. Dark Arena may be used on the first turn of every warrior with no penalty
(this means a warrior with 0 FE).
f. TVs won after the contest begins gain a 25 point one time score once the
tourney reports are posted in the NL.
g. TCs won after the contest begins gain a 50 point one time score with the
same conditions as noted for TVs.
h. NO switching alliance once verified by an alliance that a team has declared
for.
i. Only 7 teams are permitted per alliance for the Turf War 5.
PRIZES:
Turf Wars are a "Winner Takes All" type contest. All prizes and 100% of the RU
Certs will be given to the Captain of the winning alliance and it is his/her
responsibility to give these to the alliance membership.
I have requested from RSI the following:
a. renaming of the orth Fork (DM 47) arena;
b. renaming of Dark Arena Monsters;
c. known favourite rhythms for one warrior on each team of the winning
alliance. This warrior would be in the Initiates or above brackets on the
last turn of the Turf War (they must have at least one arena fight to
receive this award).
Baphomet, Host of TW5
Special Note: A downchallenge is considered from a higher bracket to a lower
bracket. Same bracket, more recognition points? Not a downchallenge!
