SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to ZUWAYZA once again! Biff! Pow! ZUWAYZA watched with glee as
THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS got knocked off top spot by CUNNING RUNTS! Some people say I
ramble too much, I don't say anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well
FUNKY FOLK moved up 1, to 4th. What's with MINI ME? He actually beat ZUWAYZA's
PERSISTENT BEGGAR, and walked away with 15 more points from the fight. Laughs were
big at FUNKY FOLK while they watched JACK HAMMA clobber HOT ROD II. He lost 8 points
and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. TIMES was reminded on the sands
why PETE MOSS is Duelmaster. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip
about your fellow fighters? Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. How well I know the feeling
of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, IDES OF MARCH! The
bums at FUNKY FOLK couldn't face the challenges from IDES OF MARCH! No excuse for
that! DAN STEPPE expects the easy win by going 51 points down. BLACK BELT will find
this a hard lesson! DAN STEPPE overcame BLACK BELT. FUNKY FOLK calls this fighting?
In my day...
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? TRASH COLLECTOR larned his lesson (ERIC CARTMAN taught it
well), and we right likely won't be seein' 'im fight any CUNNING RUNTS members with
the same gusto. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To
die so young, so gloriously!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Remember--a good fighter needs both good skills and
good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Well the newsletter came week late and they never posted the newsletter online, so I
couldn't get my turns in this week...so to try and make up for it I'm doing some p-
ads. Yep, I'm a prince. =) -- Anti, mgr. Troubled Waters
Ornament -- Sorry, that was last turn's challenge. Thanks for the learns though! --
Nicanor
Amatus Justas -- Is that pig latin or sumptin? -- Epaphras
Elemi Triangle -- Hmmm...the boss always said my post was a "temp to never ever hire"
position and I think it might be getting close to unemployment time. Yep. -- Jason
Anti -- Why didn't I fight? -- Archippus
Archippus -- Meh. Didn't feel right. I go with my gut. -- Anti
Anti -- So I'm being managed by chicken wings and big size cheez-its. Great. --
Archippus
Nicanor -- One does as one must, of course, but my advice to you is: Go and trouble
my waters no more. It's such a nuisance to calm them down again. -- Ornament
Dan Steppe -- A-one and a-two and...still not my rhythm. -- Black Belt
Publius -- Why aren't you writing letters to the editor, or at least to other
managers? -- Hot Rod
P.S. They tell me that's your style.
Matarse Fury -- I am most definitely not laughing at you, because I'm sure that once
you've knocked the rust off, you'll be the terror of the arena once again. -- Times
P.S. But Hot Rod is secretly thrilled by your return. He has missed you, though he
won't admit it.
Napoleon Bonaparte -- Somehow, I expected you to be shorter. If you'd been shorter,
that blow which decapitated you would just have whiffled your hair and spun me off
balance. So you see, come back shorter. -- Trash Collector
P.S. I wasn't aiming at your head, so I'll be darned if I know why that's all I hit.
Sorry about that.
Deep Thought -- I would have been gentle with Napoleon, but it would appear that
(wince) Trash Collector didn't know his own strength. -- Ornament
Wee Man -- Try getting a payday loan after that encounter. -- Lek Tormuz, Merchant
and Moneylender
Troubled Waters -- Oh I see, runnin' away. Come back 'ere and take what's comin' to
ya, I'll bite your legs off. -- Cunning Runts
Jaguar Warriors -- Good to see a new, old team show up. The more the bloodier. --
Deep Thought, mgr. Cunning Runts
Trash Collector -- Thanks for killing Napoleon, got a much better replacement roll-up
and got some good advice on setting him up from Stik, the Consortium and others.
Mini Me will be showing up soon. -- Deep Thought
9 August 2008
All -- We are currently looking for capable manager that will give the Desolate
Empire Alliance a full roster for the Turf War. We currently have four (4) roster
slots that are open to capable managers without questionable morals. If interested
for the Turf War, contact: Lamar Treas-Wilson, Dok Sik, Dok Sik Killas DM 47

*TURF WAR VI RULES*
Starting Nov 2008 (10 turns)
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
questions, comments, and scoring disputes to rebelnerfherder at yahoo dot com.
Please note there have been rule changes from the last Turf War. Please read them
carefully!
Contest will begin in November following the Fall Mail In Tournament.

Name-Change-O-Rama
The summer tourney brought a lot of people to the Isle who didn't appear there
normally. This included Commission employees. Half a dozen arenamasters regarded
each other warily in the mirror behind the bar at the Pig in a Haystack. The Pig was
obscure and mediocre, drawing few gladiators, which is what they had all been looking
for. They saw gladiators every day. Most arenamaster were convinced that this was
some kind of punishment.
You could always pick out the arenamasters in a crowd. There were superficial
differences: One of these had clearly Adantri features, one wore an eye-patch, two
were female. But there were, in significant ways, alike. The same size, the same
hair-trigger alertness, the same deadliness.
The one-eyed man broke the ice, raising his beer mug in salute. "I'm Zrof One-
Eye from Zukal. Sugar of Arvat--" One of the women bowed slightly. "I know Sugar.
The rest of you...?"
The Adantri matched his salute. "Dernal of Dayla Kiv."
"Daiyla Kiv? Ah...."
"No, without the 'I' in it. These damned bureaucrats can't spell, and they
thought adding an unnecessary vowel was exotic." Disgust dripped from his voice.
"Tell me about it!" another man growled in agreement. "Khagal of Niatoli, and
what they do to the spelling of THAT simple word--!"
"I thought Daiyla, I mean Dayla Kiv had a different name right now,"
Arenamistress Sugar said. "The arena, at least, because of a contest?"
"Chavez Ravine." Dernal's tone was the one that substituted in polite company
for spitting on the floor.
Zrof blinked, taken aback by the bitterness. He wouldn't have minded a contest
in Zukal, and damn what they called the place. "It's only temporary, though."
"Temporary, shmiperary," another man muttered. He seemed well into his drinking,
although, like all arenamasters, he carried his liquor well. "They do it all the time
in Aradi. No reshpect. Go around changing thish, changing that. I wish I could
change shome thingsh." He signalled the bartender for a refill.
The second woman put her hand over his mug. "You've had enough, Harkon. Try the
coffee, instead."
"You should be mad, too, Ripplesh," Harkon said. "They're going to do shtuff
like that in Jahnsh, aren't they?"
Ripples Dorrigan shrugged. All the men paused, some with glasses half raised, to
watch. "It's the way things are," she said. "Not much we can do about it."
"You know," Khagal of Niatoli said, "maybe we could make a few changes. Fix the
spelling of Arena 33, for one, change a few standby titles--"
"The Commission hates changes." Dernal of Dayla Kiv topped up his glass and
drained it gloomily.
"Yes, but if we disguise it," Sugar of Arvat said, excited, "make it... maybe a
general Name-Change-O-Rama! Then we could slip OUR changes through and no one would
notice or mind."
