SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon MORYA, for I,
Novgorodny Vir, have returned! What's a move up by 4 you ask? (alright, maybe you
didn't ask) Cause for celebration, according to PLANETS. Practice pays for BEL, who
pummelled SIMPLY AMAZING, to pocket 14 points. A certain someone should cut down on
the drinking and practice more, after losing 10 points to HAL O'GEN. (Discrete
enough, KRAVEN DU'ET URDEN?) Well, Duelmaster RECEDING HAIR LINE challenged PLANETS'
URANUS. Is a 29-16-0 good enough? RECEDING HAIR LINE successfully staved off a grab
for the roses by URANUS of PLANETS. Does MORYA have no one talented enough to
dethrone him? Word has it one team in MORYA 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
MAGICAL MADNESS are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. Like
a pup with its tail between its legs, BASH BROS BODY scurried away from MAGICAL
MADNESS. Oh, the shame! Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and URANUS is it
right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't PLANETS proud! My love of complete
Spyreports dictates that I note the mismatched fight, KRYDORIUS DU'MORTE and FEA
SMALLPURSE. Are KRYDOR'S ELITE unwilling to engage in a fair fight? I thought
KRYDORIUS DU'MORTE showed great skill and promise when he won victory over FEA
SMALLPURSE. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Questions are being raised about the disposing of severed body parts in the
arena. A certain tavern in MORYA would I avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! As the seasons change, and the creatures of the
wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Can anything compare
to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for MORYA? On that giddy note I take my
leave-- Novgorodny Vir

TURF WAR XI EXTRAVAGANZA(TWIXIE)RULES (Rev 6-3-18)
(Estimated start T398, OCT 2018)
Bring acclaim and glory to the North Fork (DM47) arena.
Anyone may participate; known alliances, new alliances, thrown-together alliances, or
temporary alliances created solely to compete in the Turf War! To participate, each
alliance must:
1. Announce as Captain of an alliance in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter. (List
teams and managers in the three-team alliance. (Also designate alliance name.)
2. Announce in the newsletter which Captain/alliance your team is joining.
3. Announcements made on the D2 Forums or elsewhere will not be accepted.
Captains are responsible for:
1. Announcing, in the North Fork newsletter, those who are a part of their
alliance. Both Manager announcement and Captain announcement/confirmation are
required.
2. Distribution of certs should your 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 an intent to compete with their manager name, team name, and alliance
they will join in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter
3. Announcement made on the D2 Forums or Chatzy will not be accepted.
No alliance scores will be tabulated until two RSI Gift Certificates are received, and
participant indication and captain confirmation are posted in the North Fork
newsletter. NO EXCEPTIONS.
All entry certs should be sent to Oz or The Consortium via RSI.
Only one (1) team per player/manager may compete in the Turf Wars, and only one team
per player/manager may compete in North Fork DM47 during the Turf War. No arena
multiple teams or aliases will be allowed. Violations will result in immediate
manager 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). NOTE: Since alliances require three teams, this would mean the
remaining alliance/alliance members cannot score in the TW.
Any Turf War team must show/be posted/listed in the DM47 Newsletter just prior to
their actual scoring/participation. (E.g. New teams, transfers, current teams must
show up in the newsletter prior to the beginning of participation, allowing opponent
knowledge and challenging/avoiding.) Manager/teams may not participate/score in the
Turf War the same turn they are first posted in the newsletter. (So get your team in
the newsletter early.)Clarifying: All teams MUST show up in the NL just prior to the
first TW turn to be allowed to score in the first TW round. Teams do not have to run
that turn prior to TW-T1, but will have had to run shortly before to allow their
warriors to be visible in the newsletter just prior to TW-T1.
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, confirmation, and Gift Certificate
received.
No declarations or confirmations will be accepted after Turn 3 of the Turf War.
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.)
No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death or death
in a tournament or graduation. There must be a maximum of five only on a team at any
point and time. (The penalty for such substitution is -10 points.)
SCORING will be as follows:
* Only top two base score teams score/count per round per alliance.
* Top one base score team per alliance scores twice (double).
* Lowest team base score per alliance gets a ?pass? and does not score.
* Team is disqualified for round scoring if fighting less than 5 fights.
(Exception:The turn after a Mailer or FTF where a death occurred to a TW
team/manager, the manager may fight only four and be scored. If multiple deaths,
then multiple ?non fight? exemptions occur for that turn after the tournament.)
* If a team is disqualified from scoring, the remaining top one base score team
scores double and the lowest team gets a ?pass? and does not score.
* If two disqualified teams occur, the third team cannot score double and only scores
single.
BASE SCORING = W = +2 L = -1 K = +1 Death = 0
Those scores are the same for match ups, up or down challenges, NPC matches,
or Dark Arena fights. With these exceptions:
--- Each warrior is limited to two DA matches during the TW. A 3rd and subsequent DA
fight during the TW shall be scored at -5 points (win or lose.)
--- Alliance Match Up scored = 0 for each warrior. Kill point disallowed.
--- Intra Alliance Challenge scored = -1 for each warrior; no kill points may score.
(It is not the spirit of competition to challenge fellow members of the same
alliance. Hence, challenges as such will be scored as losses for both warriors
with no kill points awarded.)
First 6 rounds scores 1x.
End of round 6, top alliance adds 6 points. 2nd adds 4, 3rd adds 2, 4th adds 1.
Rounds 7 thru 9 scores 2x.
Final round 10 scores 3x.
Tournament Considerations:
1. Tournament participation is allowed and ENCOURAGED as a great form of
recognition for North Fork.
2. It is an opportunity to gain skills and preferred challenging within the Turf
War.
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 X, you must end the Turf War with Alliance X.
If you begin the Turf War with Team X, you must end the Turf War with Team X.
3. There will be a maximum of three (3) teams/managers allowed per alliance for
the Turf War VII. The minimum is three (3).
4. The Dark Arena may be used without penalty.(Limit twice per warrior.)
5. If at any time, the Moderators determine that any non-TW team in the arena is
aiding and/or abetting any TW alliance or team, the affected points won by the
gifted team/alliance will be disallowed and the aiding non-TW team will be
asked to desist from play in the arena until after the Turf War concludes.
Prizes:
The Turf War is meant to be a near "winner takes all" contest. It is the
responsibility of the Captain of the winning alliance to distribute Gift Certificates.
Moderators will submit a list of each manager winner to RSI at the completion of the
contest for the non-Certificate and RSI awarded prizes, to then be claimed by the
manager from RSI Customer Service within 6 months.
* Winning alliance gets 90% of the pooled certs.
* Individual Team with most wins in 10 rounds gets 10% of the pooled certs.
* RSI awards: (all must be applied to DM47 warriors, cannot create out-of-bounds
warrior, and one max prize applied to any warrior ? all within 6 months)(one
max prize means that if you win two prizes they cannot be applied to the same
warrior.)
* Winning alliance captain may choose two (each manager/team receives same prize
as chosen by captain):
- Limited Damage Bump (bump one level damage) (warrior must have fought in the
TW)
- Stat replace (remove 2 SZ, replace 2 to any other stat) (warrior must have
fought in the TW)
- Choice Replacement (Receive 5 replacements, choose 1, delete 4)
- Replacement stat swap (Replace/flip any 2 stats on one replacement)
* 2nd place alliance captain may choose one (each manager/team receives same
prize as chosen by captain)
- Favorite weapon (warrior must have fought in the TW)
- Favorite rhythm (warrior must have participated in TW)
- Free stat raise
* Participation Award to all teams/managers who fight 46 min fights (of 50):
2 skills (to one warrior)
These RSI awards will be listed by the Moderators within two weeks of round ten for
individual claiming from RSI within 4 turns of the end of TWX. 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, Master Darque, and Assur. (The TWX
Triumvirate) 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 or Bash Bros Park via diplo in DM 47.
Managers with internet access may send a private message to [The Consortium] or
[Darque] or [Assur] on the Duel2 Forums. Lastly, you may also email questions,
comments, and scoring disputes to rebelnerfherder@yahoo.com or wfms101@aol.com or or
mikey.alexander@hisstrengthandwork.com
Addendum:
Examples of scoring for clarification.
Code = win-loss-kill-death (W = +2 L = -1 K = +1 Death = 0)
Example #1:
Team A goes 2-3-0-0 (points = +4-3+0-0 = +1)
Team B goes 3-2-1-0 (points = +6-2+1-0 = +5)
Team C goes 2-3-2-0 (points = +4-3+2-0 = +3)
Team B top score, scores twice 2x+5 (+10)
Team A lowest score, does not score and gets a pass.
Team C, then, scores normal at (+3)
Alliance Score = 10 + 3 = +13
Example #2:
Team A goes 4-0-1-0 (points = +8-0+1-0 = +9)
Team B goes 3-2-0-0 (points = +6-2+0-0 = +4)
Team C goes 2-3-0-0 (points = +4-3+0-0 = +1)
Team A is disqualified from scoring having not fought five fights.
If a team is disqualified, then the top remaining team scores double while the lowest
remaining score gets a ?pass?.
Team B top remaining score, scores twice = 2 x +4 (+8)
Team C lowest score, does not score and gets a pass.
Alliance Score = 8
Example #3
Team A goes 4-1-1-0 (points +8-1+1+0 = +8)
However, Team A fought the DA for the 3rd time = -5.
Team A adjusted to (+8-1=1=0-5 = +3)
Team B goes 1-4+0-0 (points +2-4+0-0 = -2)
Team C goes 1-4+1-0 (points +2-4+1-0 = -1)
Team A top score, scores twice 2x+3 (+6)
Team B lowest score, does not score and gets a pass.
Team C, then, scores normal at (-1)
Alliance score = +6-1 = +5
Example #4
Team A goes 1-4-0-0 (points = +2-4+0-0 = -2)
Team B goes 1-4-0-0 (points = +2-4+0-0 = -2)
Team C goes 0-5-0-0 (points = +0-5+0-0 = -5)
Team A or B is top score and scores twice 2x-2 = -4
Team C lowest score, does not score and gets a pass.
Team B, then, scores normal at (-2)
Alliance score = -4-2 = -6
Example #5
Team A goes 3-2-0 with a winning match-up with Team B alliance mate.
Team B goes 2-3-1-0 with a winning and killing challenge to Team C alliance mate.
Team B also lost the alliance match-up with Team A.
Team C goes 1-4-0-1 having been killed in a challenge from alliance mate Team B
Team A points normally = +6-2+0-0 = +4, but one win was an alliance match-up which
scores as 0, hence score = +4-2+0-0 = +2
Team B points normally = +4-3+1-0 = +2, but one loss was an alliance match up which
counts as 0, and one winning kill was an intra alliance challenge which the win counts
as -1 and the kill is negated. Hence Team B score = +1-2+0-0 = -1
Team C points normally = +2-4+0-0 = -2; with one loss and kill coming from an intra
alliance challenge, but the IAC (intra alliance challenge) scores (-1)the same as a
loss and there are no points scored for being killed, the +2-4+0-0 = (-2) stands.
Team A top score, scores twice 2x+2 (+4)
Team C lowest score, does not score and gets a pass.
Team B, then, scores normal at (-1)
Alliance score = +4-1 = +3
Remember: (W = +2 L = -1 K = +1 Death = 0)
It only gets complicated with intra alliance match-ups (IAMs) and intra alliance
challenges. (IACs)
