Here they are. *TURF WAR 8 RULES* Starting July 30 2012 (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. The confirmation/verification must occur after, or in the same newsletter, but not before, the participants declaration. (Lack of participant indication of joining and/or subsequent 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 same or subsequent newsletter by the alliance Captain they will represent. c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. 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). 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 3 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 Challenge (up or within same class) +2 -2 +5 -5 Down Challenge "Challenger" -2 -2 -5 -5 Down Challenge "Challenged" +2 0 +5 -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*** -3 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. ** Champions double applies to his score only - not to opponent. *** 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.) Points awarded for team tournament participation are 1 for 1 entrant, 3 for 2 entrants, 6 for 3 entrants, 10 for 4 entrants, and 15 for 5 entrants. A TV scores 7 points or a TC scores 15 points. Death in a tournament results in a -3 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: Full Team: +1 1. A team which fights 4+ warriors (Includes DAing) gets a point Full Alliance +1 2. An alliance were ALL teams get a Full Team point earns a point Full Team/Alliance scores 3. Will double for the last half (6 rounds) of TW8. Style Master: +2 1. No matter how many stylemasters, an individual team can score only +2 per round. Duelmaster: +2 1. Duelmaster points shall be earned separate of stylemaster points. 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. 5. A Champion can be declared on any round and point factors will begin that same turn. (Must meet above 4 conditions prior to declaring.) Bloodfeuds: 1. Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns. 2. There is no limit to which warrior may bloodfeud or how often. 3. To score as a bloodfeud, then feud/death must have occurred totally within the TW8. (E.g. Feuds created prior to TW8 will not be deemed or scored as a bloodfeud, but rather as a challenge or downchallenge. Downchallenges: 1. A downchallenge occurs when a warrior challenges a warrior in a lower class. (Lower class is defined as lower than the identical class. E.g. A challenger champion class challenging a champion class is a down challenge.) 2. In TW8 a standard challenge is up (in recognition points), parallel or within the identical class but lower recognition. 3. No challenge by The Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge. (This rule supersedes all other downchallenge rules.) Tournament Considerations: 1. Tournament participation is allowed and ENCOURAGED as a great form of recognition for North Fork. 2. Tournament Victors (live only) won during the course of the contest will gain a one (1) time bonus of 7 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) wins such status. 3. Tournament Champions (live only) won during the course of the contest will gain a one (1) time bonus of 15 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) win such status. 4. Points awarded for tournament participation are are 1 for 1 entrant, 3 for 2 entrants, 6 for 3 entrants, 10 for 4 entrants, and 15 for 5 entrants. A TV scores 7 points additional or a TC scores 15 points additional. Death in a tournament results in an additional -3 score. 5. Points for entrants, TVs, 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 300, points will be credited on North Fork turn 301 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 four (4) teams/managers allowed per alliance for the Turf War VII. The minimum is two (2). 4. The Dark Arena may be used on the first FE turn (e.g. no arena or tournament fights) only, of every warrior, without penalty. 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 "winner takes all" contest. However, for TW8, a prize (RU cert) 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 this 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, and two additional for the captain of the alliance). 3. Known Favorites for one DM47 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 (three) for each manager on the winning alliance. Bonus potions must be applied to living warriors from DM 47, no more than two skills per warrior. 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) 6. Two additional rollup certs for each manager of the winning alliance from RSI. 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 late July 2012 following the Summer FTF. **TW8 Revision 06-05-12** * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===FREE BLADES REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 9 ZUKAL (turn 697): G-STRING of HOT STUFF (Papa Bear, mgr.)

Apparently the Khalums Dwarf they got to fight me kept trying to attack my head, which is really hard in my case. It looks like a dodge when they do it, as they swing, miss, and are off balance, so I can just keep on attacking. So the Dwarf had a rough go of it. I made it up to him after the fights by buying the little dude a couple of beers. I don't have too much to talk about, but I've been instructed to say that last turn was the first time that our Manager's ever had a team achieve all 7 possible arena awards on the same turn. He said his teams have received 6 awards many times, 5 awards innumerable times, but never before all 7. So we're all getting a bonus this turn. Too bad I can't buy a new head. Later, Islanders! Headless Norseman Duelmaster SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of NIATOLI ISLAND! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. TAVELSHAN KETHAL caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested M. CHARDINEE and was awarded 19 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, DYLAN put down DA2, causing him to lose 7 points of recognition in the process. Not for nothing has HEADLESS NORSEMAN in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. No confirmation, but my sources claim that the top team has gained their position using magical aids. Charmed weapons perhaps? Many and various are the arts of battle. In NIATOLI ISLAND "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! My inside sources tell me that the team to beat in NIATOLI ISLAND these days is SEA DOGS. At least, most blades in town are looking to avoid them. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent the better part of last week avoiding SEA DOGS. Indeed it was HALLOWIENERS. What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? Look no more for SADDLE SORE in the arena or on the streets of NIATOLI ISLAND. His fate was sealed in the Dark Arena. Inevitable for one at 6-6-2. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always! The girls are as pretty in NIATOLI ISLAND as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.

We all here have suffered a mighty loss at the passing of this great and wise councilor, for he truly was a just and fair king who had his people before himself at all times. But fear not, when there is a great need for him again, he will return from Anwyn to aid us. Now let us take a moment of silence; the Ard-ri is slain; long live the King... always. -- Myrddin Hey Muffin Man, Honking Yeast sounds like a personal problem. -- Myrddin Kielandor -- You're nonplussed over Elt. I thought Elt was an illiterate elf. -- Myrddin Tavelshah -- Remember that we're not from here. We still have a learn curve and it's a huge curve. -- Gwen Jorja -- There will be no vengeance invoked on behalf of the Ard-ri. He was fond of the Sewing Circle and wouldn't want undue bloodshed on his behalf. Also, there are two diplos, one on 33 and one on 47 -- ignore 47 as we pulled out of 47 because it's just too big of a place and we can't get any forward progress. Clan Pendragon appreciates all of the aid Sewing Circle has given us. -- Myrddin Headless Norseman -- On the whole, we will avoid running into you and your teammates on dark nights, okay? -- The Sewing Circle Gwenivere -- Er, ah, maybe not right now, ma'am. I wouldn't want to appear too pushy when you're bereaved. -- Kurellu Zien Ard-Ri Pendragon -- Darned if I know what went wrong that time. Well, the experience difference, of course, but still... how the heck did that happen? You didn't make ONE attempt to fight back. That is not what I expect of a warrior king. Perhaps you need to be reborn into a more forceful body? -- Karinirina Wartless Witch -- It was the lack of warts that confused me. I thought you were some actress from Bewitched. -- Kurelleu Zien Gwenivere -- Next time, more armor. -- Hassimor Shomur Lothar Kathal -- For many gladiators, more armor is an answer to problems. For you, less armor would be good. I shouldn't have been able to jump you. -- Kielandor Venansinde P.S. And a lighter weapon, maybe. Just because you CAN carry that, doesn't mean you SHOULD. Sheet with Eyes -- Nooooo! Aaaah, no! You remind me, painfully, of my mother telling me to get the laundry in before it rains. -- Tavelshan Kethal LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS SADDLE SORE was viciously butchered by DARK CHAMPION in a 2 minute Dark Arena fight. HEADLESS NORSEMAN vanquished SHELLBACK in a 1 minute uneven Title battle. JERK O'LANTERN demolished KARINIRINA in a 1 minute uneven fight. TAVELSHAN KETHAL devastated M. CHARDINEE in a 1 minute one-sided contest. WARTLESS WITCH overpowered KURELLEU ZIEN in a 1 minute mismatched match. HASSIMOR SHOMUR defeated GWENIVERE in a exciting 1 minute struggle.
