SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. SOLVEN needs a spyreport." Oh, well. MVP award for PEWTER?
DROP THE LEASH's proud of him after beating ELLIRN KOUL and getting 11 points. Talk
about yer major upsets! ELLIRN KOUL's match with PEWTER cost her a loss of 9 points!
Don't you think the Duelmaster is being unfair? I think DONDRIC should let ULTRA
FAITH be Duelmaster for a while, without fighting about it. Is the Duelmaster really
being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All SOLVEN ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. SEREPHIM bloodfeuded (is that a word?) JILIAN NORMAN for revenge
over some guy's bad fortune. Was it really worth it? Fight, fight, fight. Is that
all you guys can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

PERSONAL ADS
Jilian -- Well, it's kinda fitting that we ended up splitting the four fights two
each. We'll see if Lipstick can't get her fourth kill. -- Ghost of Galmorthal
Galmorthal -- Damn you, that was *not* supposed to happen. Just remember, well, have
your manager remember, that it was your downchallenge that brought the fight about,
and you were the one who came out with no armor. Idiot! You almost *deserve* to
have died of that. -- Jilian Norman
Dondric -- Like I didn't know how that one would come out! You've got a nasty
temper, but you're good at what you do. -- Dolby Jossel
Lipstick -- Listen, chick, I like spending time with you, but you've got to stop
smearing that red stuff all over my shirts and, um, other places. Jorja's starting
to get suspicious, and they tell me that if she loses her temper, she can be really
mean. Don't do this to me! -- Chawlie Istta
Seraphim -- Yeah, well, it was a way to welcome you, okay? Not to mention getting a
few days of bed rest, which I could sure use. No rest at all around our guildhouse,
just practice, practice, practice. Boring. -- Hotl Muschel
I don't know what the arenamaster was all upset about. You use sand to blot ink,
right? So why not use it to stop the silly Trustworthy Scribe from bleeding all over
the place. -- Ellirn Koul
P.S. It was black blood, and it *looked* like ink.
P.P.S. Oh, great! The Commission says I have a high charisma, gotta love that.
Having a high attractiveness or cool would be good, too, but cool puts people off and
attractiveness fades; charisma is there for the long haul.
M. Ferstiithlis Chardinee -- I don't know how the Chardinee Society can stand having
you in it. -- Chawlie Istta
an anonymous member of the Cult of the Crimson Cat -- When and where? -- Hotl Muschel
Ellirn Koul -- That was your free introductory gift. Now you're going to have to
work for your wins. -- Felusarthin the Sharp, Reliable Scribe, designated welcomer of
the week
17 July 2008
All -- Many of you know me and many more don't, but I will be scarce for a few
months. I am relocating, so look for my presence online! As my will, so mote it
be! -- Abraxis

*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
