DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Hail, Sunset! First off, let me apologize for missing last turn's column. The
whiskey and wenches had their way with Khisanth the night of the duedate. Kind of
shocked to see an invite. I guess my FE put me over the top and 14 is some trigger.
I leave Sunset, 9-13-7-17-17-4-17. Ad Master Init, Ad Exs ATK, DEF and RIP. EXP DEC.
Slight bonuses to DAM and END. Both at good. +1 INIT +4 PAR :( ... Faves are
SH(BOOO) HI/VH RIP/RIP. Khisanth says he may run me and try busting me out in ADM
then I get to retire and enjoy my Whiskey! Farewell Sunset!
Sidewinder
SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! Rumor has it an incurable disease has swept
the stable of BEN'S BAZAAR. Note their drop in the rankings from 5th to 16th. Watch
out!!! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive
observation?) as BLOODTHIRST can attest... DEVIATION posted a nice gain, to come in
3rd. Everybody loves a winner... KANO CLAN had cause to celebrate, after MACHIDE
SHOU got 20 points by beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE. BORGES certainly had a baffled
expression on his face, after losing to SASQUATCH and losing 13 points in the
process! Well, Duelmaster SIDEWINDER challenged DARK AT HEART's DISEASE. Is a
14-1-1 good enough? Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were disappointed by
DISEASE, of DARK AT HEART, who despite a 14-17-2 couldn't overcome SUNSET's Number 1.
So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?
Someone's got a basic problem...
My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter.
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Perhaps the warriors of NOMADIC TRIBE
should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... As a woman of good
breeding scorns the "warriors" of THE RED BLADES, so did that sorry team shy from
NOMADIC TRIBE If challenges were horses, DISEASE could open up a fast food joint!
Them's the breaks, YUEDEBAHL LITHA. Expecting fair challenges from BEN'S BAZAAR is
evidently too much to ask. GRANDADDY SMURF won victory over YUEDEBAHL LITHA with a
point difference of 20. So this is what SUNSET calls a duel. This will make an
interesting tale. As a confidence booster, TOO BIG TO FAIL challenged AGAMAMNON,
down 16 points. Do you also slay vicious rodents in your spare time, TOO BIG TO
FAIL? TOO BIG TO FAIL beat AGAMAMNON. The whole thing leaves a bitter memory.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Never one to
advocate diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see THE RED BLADES retaliate
against OMINOUS REIGN in bloodfeud! Charity is unknown in SUNSET, and rightly so.
GRIM FANDANGO exacted their revenge against 420 B.C.. Ask not a spymaster for
counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious
stupor.
All good things must come to an end. My fingers tire and I fear my incessant
prattling may cause unfair judgement upon my impeccable character. Do not despair!
I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

Time -- Your better was with me. I saw fate's reflection in your halberd blade. --
Bloodsong
Virile Man -- I know. I could smell it. What are you doing down here anyway? Wait!
What am I doing down here? See you around the bend. -- Grey Fatal
Brunu Squall -- For something so big and hard, you're not very attractive, but you
are hard to miss. -- Pericoloso
All -- If you feel there is something you want to get off your chest come and speak
to me. Be sure it's really the right time. -- Sin Eater
Spigot -- Hey, buddy! I missed you last turn. -- Grey Fatal
Row Dayo Drive -- Boom sha-lak-lak you missed. -- Poca
Nomad and your novice drivel -- "Run and hide," you say? Yes, of course! It's
called strategy, moron. One of those many things in which you are incapable of
performing. You have 3 guys with more than 26 FE hovering around Moshi Haru, just
salivating for a bloodfeud. What? You think I'm stupid, like you? -- Kano-san
Lord Protectors Weasel, GD Smurf, and Sidewinder -- Congrats on your graduations!
Don't know who will be fighting on at the Isle, but if you do, remember your roots
and do Sunset proud. Drinks on us tonight! -- Grim Fandango
Khisanth -- I hope Sidewinder's leaving won't mean you're closing up shop here.
Fight on, brother. -- Stik
Master Kush -- That was a perfectly good ripper, again... Prepare for feudage. --
Grim Fandango
Marmaduke/Deviation -- Hey, it was your challenge. As Spinal Tap once said, there's
a fine line between clever and stupid! BF if you feel the need. I may be a bit busy
this turn, however. -- Blakskul
Jorja and Sword Opera -- I'll race you to 700 wins, girl! You've got a sizeable
headstart, though! -- Stik and GF
Hmm, and who is gonna be the first to join the big boys in the triple digit wins club
manager's suite at the arena? Ben? Bill? Archaic Elf? Or the Dark at Heart boys?
My money's on Ben with the lead! -- Stik
Dred -- Thanks for the welcome! You make a girl feel special! -- Jet Blak
Angel -- That went well, I thought, except for the part where you get that despairing
look in your eyes, and die at the end. One last chance... -- LP Blaksunn
Lungers, lungers, everywhere, and not a blade to spare! Or a waste in sight. Hmm...
Millhauser -- Not that I expected that to go any differently, but don't you think you
could have taught me a little bit more than that??? -- Be'Al'Tzar
Ophelia Delphi -- I might be "coming along" but it sure didn't look that way the
second time you trounced me. Thank you for the kind words and the welcome, though.
-- Jaryul
Gentleben -- You sent the Who. Who's next? -- Alazir
Kano -- Some Tribemen do in fact fight in armor. Not all, but some. It is true, we
could put armor on them all. It is very tempting. Perhaps then we could match your
42% win percentage? Tempting. And you use those wins so well. How many warriors
have you armored up to a mediocre record only to send them to the DA after 20-40
fights? Makita kane must have been thankful that you armored him up to keep him
alive--only to send him to the Dark Arena for fight #20 with an inspiring 10-10 final
record. Yes, the Kano Way is certainly worth consideration. And then there is Kano
honor. As predicted, Moshi Haru sat out. This arena just isn't the same without
you. -- Nomad and the Tribe
Elisa -- Well, at least we had time to get to know each other. -- Walli
Borges -- Not much to say about that one. Perhaps you learned some nifty tricks in
one of those books of yours? Maybe I need to start reading more. -- Bul
Jonisson -- A win and a bunch of skills. That was quite the turn for me! -- Graven
Ward
Grandpa Smurf -- Yuck. That should not have gone that way. But it did. Enjoy your
smurfy time on the Isle. -- Sasquatch
Hope Springs -- That was a disappointing start to things. -- Falkirk

POSTED: Arena recruitment effort, DM 32, Arvat -- seeing as our arena Participation
has dwindled in recent months, we're offering the following incentive to any new
teams looking for a new home arena. We will GIVE a Free Rollup to any manager
willing to agree to fight in Arvat for the next 10 turns. We have a number of VERY
solid arena teams stockpiled, and while we don't promise tournament godlings, we are
certain we can come up with teams with 3, 4 or even 5 solid arena warriors to start
out with.
In addition we'll honor any no-challenge requests by relatively new managers to
help you get off on the right foot.
If interested, please contact the Devil Advocates via Diplo or contact
theDarkOne via IM on the www DOT reality DOT com site. We will even give a choice of
teams available if requested.

THE TURF WAR IS HERE AGAIN!!!!!
*************************************************************************************
*TURF WAR VII RULES*
Starting Nov 2010 (12 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. Announce the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork (DM 47)
newsletter.
2. Indicate in the newsletter which Captain/alliance you will join.
3. Announcements made on the D2 Forums or elsewhere will not be accepted.
Captains are responsible for:
1. Verifying/authorizing, in the North Fork newsletter those who wish to
participate under the banner of their alliance. (Lack of participant indication of
joining and/or lack of lack of Captain confirmation will delay a team's participation
in the Turf War.)
2. Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War.
3. Submit two (2) RSI Roll-Up Certificates to participate. (Note: Captains
may, if they wish, submit certs for all potential members of their alliance.)
Participating managers who are not Captains must:
1. Submit two (2) RSI Roll-Up Certificates to participate (Unless already
submitted by Captain. Note: extras will not be returned, but will go into the winning
pool of prizes.)
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 an RSI Gift Certificate is
received, and participant indication and captain confirmation are posted in the North
Fork newsletter. 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 in the newsletter
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
(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 team warriors).
d. Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams/alliances that do not
properly declare or get captain confirmation 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 score 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. (Note:
the intent is to have a very thorough set of rules so that few decisions, if any, are
required from the moderators.)
Scoring will be as follows for Fights:
Win Loss Kill Die
Up Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5
Down Challenge 0 -2 0 -5
Match Up +1 -1 +1 -5
Bloodfeud Challenge (Up or Down) +2 -5 +5 -10
Champion ** x2 x2 x2 x2
Dark Arena* +10 -5 xx xx
Tournament Death*** -5
Halfway (6 round total) best alliance win/loss percentage ****
Final (12 round total) alliance w/l% percentage ****
*After 2nd win in DA, warrior scores no additional points for wins,
** A Champion's double score applies to his score only -- not to the opponent.
*** No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death
or death in a tournament. There must be a maximum of five only on a team at any point
and time. (The penalty for such substitution is -10 points.) Points awarded for
tournament participation are 5 for any entrant, 15 for a TV and 25 for a TC. Death in
a tournament negates any tournament points gained and results in a-5 score.
***** Halfway points scored are 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 5, 5 (etc) for 1st, 2nd, 3rd
(etc). (to qualify for any of these points the alliance must have fought 75% of its
possible fights.) Final 12 Round points scored are 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5, 5, 5 (etc)
for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd (etc). (to qualify for any of these points the alliance must
have fought 75% of its possible fights.)
Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows:
Spy Report mention (team name only) +2
1. No matter how many mentions or stylemasters, an individual team can score
only +2 in each category per round
Style Master +2
1. No matter how many mentions or stylemasters, an individual team can score
only +2 in each category per round
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 have fought at least one previous fight in the North Fork
(DM47 arena) to be able to be declared a champion.
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 15 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 25 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) win
such status.
4. Points awarded for tournament participation are 5 for any entrant, (15
total for a TV and 25 total for a TC.) However, death in a tournament will result in
a -5 score for that tournament. (If a warrior TV's and is subsequently killed in a
tournament the points scored are -5 for that tournament.)
5. Points for TVs and TCs and tournament deaths 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 five (5) teams allowed per alliance for the
Turf War VII.
4. The Dark Arena may be used on the first turn only, of every warrior,
without penalty.
Prizes:
The Turf War is normally a "winner take all" contest. However, for TWVII, a prize
will be awarded each of the twelve turns to the individual team/manager that fights
five fights and has the best w/l record that turn. (Tiebreakers are in order - kills,
recognition points earned.) All prizes and 100% of the Gift Certificates will be
awarded to the Captain of the winning alliance at the end of the competition. 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.
All entry fees (rollup certs) are awarded to the winning alliance, except for
the twelve reserved for the individual winning manager each week.)
The following prizes have been secured from RSI:
1. Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena;
2. Renaming of all Dark Arena Monsters (two 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
DM47 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 and every individual manager who
fights in all 12 rounds AND 54 fights of the Turf War. Bonus potion must be applied
to a living warrior from (DM 47)
These RSI awards will be listed by the Moderator for claiming from RSI (Lee)
within 4 turns of the end of TW VI. The certs will be mailed to the winning alliance
by the Moderators within two weeks of the end of the TW.
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 or
wfms101 at aol dot com.
Please note there have been rule changes from the last Turf War. Please read them
carefully!
This contest will begin in November 2010 following the Fall Mail In.
