SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for CLIFFHOME. MVP award for REDD CORVAIT?
JINDA-BAN's proud of her after beating KUNG-FU MASTER and getting 11 points. Talk
about yer major upsets! HAPEXAMENDIES' match with SCARLET MONK cost him a loss of 10
points! This Duelmaster is like something else! DIONYSUS stopped CONNIE PAKKIT dead
in hers tracks! Who was the wiseguy that said CLIFFHOME's Duelmaster was paying for
drinks at The Choking Ogre? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of OLD SCHOOL must be
getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I
don't? Is there some deep dark secret why BOY O'S' been avoiding OLD SCHOOL so much?
Or is it just that they're too scared? Can OLD SCHOOL's HAPEXAMENDIES be more
popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job,
that's what!!!
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I gotta leave. CLIFFHOME is like such a dump, and you guys
smell too much! Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby

PERSONAL ADS
Cliffhome -- When I needed a place to locate a team called the Hilltop Gurus, somehow
the city of Cliffhome seemed a perfect fit. So here they are. No, they won't fight
five every turn as their first go-around indicated. But nor are they just a tourney
team. In fact, only one of the three has even seen a tournament at this point. We
hope to enjoy the city for as long as we are able to remain. -- Nomad and the Hilltop
Gurus
Romeo -- I do feel bad about that matchup for you. But don't take it too hard. One
must learn to live with disappointments lest they do something rash. -- Guru Gnu
Ringo -- I'm sure you've never heard this one before...but you beat on me like I was
a drum! But honestly, that was about as ugly as a fight can get. I didn't think I
could get anything right out there. And yet I won. How'd you let that happen? I
can see no reason in it. -- Logos
Paolo -- Close, but you will have to bring more to the table to bring me low than
that. -- Scarlet Monk
Cyprian -- Bah, I know what you're up to. I read the book. You want to BURN the
books of POWER! Can't have that. -- Redd Corvait
P.S. Not that *I* have any use for the Books of Power, but it's the principle of the
thing.
P.P.S. Unfortunately, I got so caught up in the principle, I didn't pay enough
attention to the practice. Damn. Gotta watch that.
Pherespundus -- Gods, it just gets worse and WORSE! I thought the fender might be a
problem, but the BRAKES locked up on me! What can you do, eh? Call the tow truck
and hope for the best. -- Bent Fender
Hephaestus -- Okay, see? Two skills taught. I CAN TOO be generous in victory. --
Kartikaya, poor winner
Hey! What IS it with this editorializing epithets, anyway? I think my manager has
it in for me. -- Kartikaya
Dionysus -- Go, man. Wine, women, and victory, way to go. -- Carter Pillar
P.S. Actually, I'm more interested in something I can get my blade into and shove
around.
Convicted Assassin? Pathetic. -- Connie Pakkit

*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
