                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of MURSKA!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, 
Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  KNUCKLE caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested BRENNA and was awarded 23 points in 
recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, PACIFIST put down DRENDAN 
O'KAI, causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process.  As is fitting, 
the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none other than 
Duelmaster ALE'CHAI TALLSKY itself.  Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, 
Duelmaster ALE'CHAI TALLSKY challenged PANE last week in a match to decide the fate 
of the throne.  Although PANE made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to topple the 
reign of victorious ALE'CHAI TALLSKY.  No confirmation, but my sources claim that the 
top team has gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?   
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city MURSKA.  MURSKA, city of gladiators!  Mighty among the names of thy 
guilds is LOST CAUSE, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels.  If 
you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of 
PHILANTHROPISTS last week.  Busy avoiding LOST CAUSE?  UGLY GENTLEMAN must really be 
harboring a grudge against the LOST CAUSE guild!  Merciless, 60 challenged down CLYDE 
points this week to duel with he.  Few would not have guessed the outcome of the bout 
as CLYDE lost to UGLY GENTLEMAN.  Is this what passes for courage in MURSKA?   
     Vendettas.  Bloodied blades and broken spears.  Indeed the city has seen more 
than its fair share of red in recent times.  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 MURSKA 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 we meet again, remember:  a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell, and harms 
no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Jorja says we have to get off our lazy rears and talk to you guys.  We say you won't
notice, but she can be forceful when she feels like it, and apparently she feels like
it now.  So, we're talking.  Answers next time would be pleasant, though shocking. --
the Children of Llyr

Ugly Gentleman -- That was NOT a good fight.  I loathe those who go all backhanded
and sneaky, not to mention even underhanded probably, if the fight had gone on long
enough.  And people who take all the skills, giving nothing but injury to their
opponents.  If that's your definition of philanthropy, it isn't mine. -- Drendan
O'Kai
P.S.  Jorja didn't say we had to be polite, you know.

Therod -- Oh, this one is good!  I was just following instructions and not "sparing
the-rod and spoiling the child."  It was my duty, perhaps even my philanthropic duty!
It was a good fight. -- Angus Argus

Worathlon -- That was a proper fight, where the inexperienced youth pays attention to
his elder, learns from him, and loses the fight.  I like that.  I was pleased to
teach you things.  Study well and take on some of the others around here who need to
learn respect. -- Evindal

Pane -- I'd like to take your cause out in the woods and lose it for good.  Hmm, I
think I heard about some kind of trouble over toward Malcorn, so maybe if I took it
out in the woods to the east we could do something suitable.  Yeah, let me think
about that one.  After all, you don't want that old cause hanging around making
puppy-dog-eyes at you all the time, do you? -- Patrice

The stamina of some of these old guys is just amazing, even if they can't teach me
anything new. -- Brenna

Brenna -- It says you were "vicious" when you "subdued" me, and I want to testify
that it was completely true.  You're a woman who needs to work on controling her
temper. -- Shortfall Darbin, Veteran Mercenary

Knuckle -- Got an issue with elves, do you?  Get over it; we're here to stay. --
Guardsman Elloris

Lucky and Lunk Head -- We appreciate your assistance in meting out disciplinary
punishment to those of our members who forget the Rules, but bear in mind that we
don't want them dead.  Even incompetant thieves can be hard to find. -- Jazper Lu
Garan, speaking for the Guild of Thieves

                            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
