SPY REPORT
The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon JHANS, 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 A TEAM. THE BOYS 3 had cause to
celebrate, after CARL got 20 points by beating EMBEZZLING SCRIBE. A certain someone
should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 8 points to THIS
CAMEL. (Discrete enough, GRAB THE BULL?) Those who hoped for a new Duelmaster were
disappointed by MAIN EVENT, of STILLMATIC, who despite a 10-7-2 couldn't overcome
JHANS' Number 1. Word has it one team in JHANS is using psychics to predict wins.
They lead a charmed life!
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? Perhaps the warriors of VOW TO DESTROY should
take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... The warriors of VOW TO
DESTROY found their efforts at combat frustrated as PORN IN A BARN apparently had
more important things to do than fight. Is it charming personality? Conversational
abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, THIS CAMEL is the most challenged
warrior. ONE TRICK PONY found himself challenged by a warrior 21 below: KULICK.
KULICK of BIG LAKE BULLIES kept his wits as he was subdued by ONE TRICK PONY.
Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after
life! Never one to advocate diplomacy and restraint, I was pleased to see VOW TO
DESTROY retaliate against STILLMATIC in bloodfeud! Oh hard! that to strike a flame,
the match itself must needs be wasting!
Do not think spyreporting in JHANS is the highlight of my life. As the seasons
change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave
this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid JHANS
farewell-- Novgorodny Vir

The Turf Wars are coming. The Turf Wars are coming. Come one; come all. Gather
your alliance or collection of 2-4 teams and join in the competition. Hurry up! While
Feb 2016 seems so far away, it is only six or so turns away, and it does take a while
to make sure you have a team in DM47, communicate to find a group, send in certs,
announce in writing in DM47, etc. etc. Teams of all levels and managers of all types,
including newbies, find themselves competing quite well in this type of competition.
Let's make the tenth anniversary (TWX) the biggest and best ever.
This 10th competition will be hosted and moderated by the triumvirate of Assur,
Master Darque and Oz The All-Wonderful.
Anyone may participate: known alliances, new alliances, or temporary alliances
created solely to compete in the Turf War!
To participate, each alliance must:
a. Announce the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter.
b. Indicate in the newsletter which Captain/alliance you will join.
c. Announcements made on the D2 Forums or elsewhere will not be accepted.
Captains are responsible for:
a. 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 participant's
declaration. (Lack of participant indication of joining and/or subsequent lack
of Captain confirmation will delay a team's participation in the Turf War.)
b. Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War.
c. 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:
a. 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.)
b. 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 or Chatzy will not be accepted.
1. No 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.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. 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.
5. No declarations or verifications 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.)
Scoring will be as follows for Fights:
Team Points:
a. Fights made: (includes DA fights)
1 = 0 points, 2 = 0 points, 3 = 1 point, 4 = 3 points, 5 = 5 points
b. Wins earned:
1 = 1 point, 2 = 3 points, 3 = 6 points, 4 = 10 points, 5 = 15 points
c. Champion win = 3 additional points
d. Down Challenge = (-5) points each (DM is exempt from DC rule)
e. Team with most wins per round earns 4 additional points
(If ties, no points awarded)
Alliance Points (Rounds 1 through 5):
a. Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made)
All (each) team of the alliance fights 1 to 3 warriors = 3 points
All (each) team fights 4+ warriors = 6 points
All (each) team fights all five warriors = 9
b. Alliance with most wins per that round = 5 points
(If tied, no points awarded.)
Alliance Points (Rounds 6 through 10 as alliance point scoring doubles):
c. Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made)
All (each) team of the alliance fights 1 to 3 warriors = 6 points
All (each) team fights 4+ warriors = 12 points
All (each) team fights all five warriors = 18
d. Alliance with most wins per that round = 10 points
e. (If tied, no points awarded.)
Champions:
a. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory. It is to the
team's/alliance's advantage that you do so.
b. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time.
c. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior or the Dark Arena,
may be replaced.
d. Champions must have fought at least one previous fight in the North Fork (DM47
arena) to be able to be declared a champion.
e. A Champion can be declared on any round and point factors will begin that same
turn. (Must meet above 4 conditions prior to declaring.)
f. Challenges to or by Champions against members of the same alliance shall be
scored as a loss for each warrior.
No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death or
death in a tournament or graduation. A maximum of five warriors may be on a team at
any time. (The penalty for such substitution is -10 points.)
It is not in the spirit of competition to challenge fellow members of the same
alliance. Hence, challenges as such will be scored as losses for both warriors.
Downchallenges:
a. A downchallenge occurs when a warrior challenges a warrior with lesser
recognition points.
b. No challenge or bloodfeud by The Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.
c. No challenge of the Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.
d. Bloodfeuds against warriors with lesser recognition are deemed downchallenges.
Tournament Considerations:
a. Tournament participation is allowed and ENCOURAGED as a great form of
recognition for North Fork.
b. It is an opportunity to gain skills and preferred challenging within the Turf
War.
Special Considerations:
a. Each alliance begins the Turf War with zero (0) points.
b. 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.
c. There will be a maximum of four (4) teams/managers allowed per alliance for
the Turf War VII. The minimum is two (2).
d. The Dark Arena may be used at any time without penalty.
e. 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. All prizes, except the
Endu Award listed below, 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.
The following prizes have been secured from RSI:
a. Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena;
b. Renaming of all Dark Arena Monsters
c. 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).
d. +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.
e. +1 Skill bonus potion (one) for each and every individual manager who
fights in all 10 rounds AND at least 45 fights of the Turf War. Bonus
potion must be applied to a living warrior from (DM 47) (Endu Award).
f. Two additional random rollup sheets or 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:
