DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
While the perks of being a partial owner of this ever shrinking arena are nice, such
as only having to fight rowdy dwarves and feisty ruffians, I do miss mixing it up
with the rest of you brawlers. In the meantime, with the emphasis on mean, my
prodigy Maulmentum has been handing out beatdowns like chocolate bars on Halloween.
I guess you could say it was more like maulloween for Son of a Basher with the only
trick being his disappearing teeth. If you are supposed to dress for the job you
want, not the one you have, Son of a Basher will have a great career in whatever
occupation requires a crawling dude in blood soaked clothing and a boot up his...
well, you get the point. Granted, things could have been worse, such as losing to an
Aradi Thug like Holy Flail.

SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon THE STOMPING
GROUNDS, for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! He who laughs last didn't get the
joke. Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe BEAT IT!. Last week they got 0-0-0 to
drop by 5! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive
observation?) as MAUL RATS can attest... Say what you will about blind luck and
dirty fighting, but GO TO FLAIL will tell you 20-17-2 is nothing to laugh at...
DUNGEON CELL BA had cause to celebrate, after CHILLY ARSONIST got 19 points by
beating FLAILS HERE. FLAILS HERE certainly had a baffled expression on his face,
after losing to CHILLY ARSONIST and losing 12 points in the process! MAULARIA
successfully staved off a grab for the roses by ROWDY DWARF of THE STOMPING GROUNDS.
Does THE STOMPING GROUNDS have no one talented enough to dethrone it? So who was the
warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got
a basic problem...
So much to report, so little time! To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in
NUMBSKULLS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. As a
woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of BABA BABA, so did that sorry team shy
from NUMBSKULLS If challenges were horses, CHEST PAIN could open up a fast food
joint!
Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.
Charity is unknown in THE STOMPING GROUNDS, and rightly so. NUMBSKULLS exacted their
revenge against BABA BABA. Ask not for whom the sword slashes; it slashes for thee.
Do not think spyreporting in THE STOMPING GROUNDS is the highlight of my life.
Keep those sands bloody and the buzzards fat! Do not despair! I shall return!--

*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
