TURF WAR INFORMATION
A regularly Scheduled Update for TWVI
The TURF WAR is upon us! Teams are being formed, alliances negotiated, warriors
prepped, and declarations have begun. Rumor has it there will be eight or nine teams
vying to dethrone The Return Of The SCOMSS and to be crowned Turf War Champion. Good
luck to all.
There are only three turns remaining prior to the start of TWVI. Little time is
left for Managers to declare and Captains to confirm in the SCOMSS Swamp/North Fork
newsletter. (Formal statements and confirmations in the newsletter are firmly
required, as is the receipt of the entry fee rollup cert prior to participation.)
Don't miss out!

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
We know, all of us, that it was purely by fate I am Duelmaster. What happened to the
entire challenger champion class? Nobody fighting--why!! Maybe this Turf-War?
Bullpen Ace, that was a great fight. Maybe I am doing something right after all!!
The Ron
SPY REPORT
Hail SCOMSS SWAMP! Warriors of the arena, prepare to be praised and blamed for
your deeds. I want to know who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The Warty
Toad, seeing as LUROCIAN DEVILS' 6-3-1 has earned them 6th place in the ranks. The
WARHAMMERS guild has had a 3-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You
never know where this kind of thing can lead. On their very first turn, THE GRUE
FACTORY had a 4-1-1, and with this kind of luck or skill, should do well. Welcome to
SCOMSS SWAMP. And let's see, KELLY CARPENTER fought SWAMP BOGG HAMMER and gained 23
points and contributed to JGW PERISHABLE's 1-1-0. EARVLING KLASH has lost to LOKI,
falling 9 points, while helping make FORCE OF WILL a 2-3-0 turn. Defending his title
for another turn, THE RON kept ROYAL FLUSH's warrior, TEN LORDS ALEAPIN, from
claiming the throne. Can someone confirm a rumor for me? I hear the top team makes
their losing fighters do dishes at The Warty Toad until they win. Maybe?
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I HATE THEM has cause to stand tall, as they were SCOMSS
SWAMP's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to beat. And guess
who avoided I HATE THEM stable the most? Believe it or not, it was THE SERPENTS.
Anyone surprised? The most challenged warrior this turn was WARHAMMERS' warrior
AGARIC. More fighters challenged him than challenged the Duelmaster! In a brave
attempt, ALL THAT MATTERS from CHRISTIAN ROCK 2 challenged up 22 points to fight BAD
NEWS BEAR from the THE BEAR'S PAW stable. ALL THAT MATTERS perhaps got hers just
desserts, seeing as she lost to BAD NEWS BEAR and ended up with 13 recognition
points.
We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and
shave it close? A farewell moment, if you please, COBRA of THE SERPENTS has been
sent to the Dark Arena, and was carried out on his shield. This is not good to see.
Why pray tell has REDEMTION been sent to the Dark Arena by OF WOLF AND MAN? And why
with a 3-1-1 record?? Kudos go out to BARLEY this turn, for revenging STRANGE BREW's
bloodfeud against FORCE OF WILL's warrior KORTALIA. Well done. A brave warrior does
not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or hide when the fight is over.
Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep your swords
sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in SCOMSS SWAMP again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

Looks like two teams have already declared. SCOMSSS Shire and Desolate Empire
Alliance. Looking for more. Have heard of at least four other groups out there
considering. -- Oz The All Excited
BTW, as captain of SCOMSSS Shire, the five declarers of last turn, Royal Flush,
Spoonertics, Old Habits, Mystic Orc Feast, Land Of Oz are all confirmed. (Yet
waiting on formal declarations from Second Bananas and things I Drool In.) -- Oz The
all Communicative
Swamp Bogg Hammer -- I guess I was too much for you, huh. Sometimes one is lucky.
Maybe next time? -- Winkie
A new Duelmaster, The Ron, and a piker at that! A big salute from The Land Of Oz. --
Oz The All Covetous
Hmmmm. SCOMSS Swamp seems to be growing. Teams are arriving for The Turf Wars.
This is going to be a blast! -- Oz The All Stoked
Barbarino -- If Jack & Jill could dispatch Fabulous Father M in the DA, why could you
not do the same to Sensational Snuln? Oh, the embarrassment of it! -- Oz The All
Questioning
Nice point total, Strange Brew! Who's your team going to be? -- Oz The All
Inquisitive
It is good to see The Opera coming back for the Turf Wars. We need some easy teams
in here. -- Oz The All Facetious
I Hate Them -- I couldn't agree more with most of your selections although I hear The
Creepster is a pretty nice guy. (wink) -- Oz The All Humorous
Father O'Malley -- We look forward to your blessings. -- Oz The All Needy
To the MC's of the Turf War and all members of the North Fork arena -- I am pleased
to announce another team to participate in the festivities known as the Turf War. I,
your humble participant, will be the captain of this team and will confirm the
participants in the coming turns. The team will be unnamed for this time, but will
announce its formal name upon the start of the contest. Those participating under
this banner will announce their intentions of running under the "to be named later"
banner.
As captain of this team I will announce my intentions of running the stable, JGW
PERISHABLE, for the duration of the contest under the banner of the team "to be named
later". I will not announce a champion at this time but reserve the right to do so
at any time.
Good luck to those who wish to participate in this glorious contest that is
celebrated across the dueling world. -- Joseph G. Wellington, Captain of "to be named
later", manager of JGW Perishable and other JGW stables across Alastari.
Teammates of "to be named later" -- Please contact me to when you plan to announce
your team so I can confirm your participation the same turn. -- JGW
Everbuddy -- I, Snuln, do hereby solemnly announce my turfwar alliance to SCOMMSS,
and also solemnly declare my team as Things I Drool In. -- Snuln the Solemn
P.S. *sigh* Was this really necessary?
The Ron -- Congrats... Duelmaster indeed!!! I knew you had more about you when you
ousted Ivan P ;-)... -- Spawn
Rois Anin -- For you? I'll keep my card open anytime... Just ask... -- Ivan P
The Lion King -- King of the beasts you maybe, but you appear to have disliked my
special Ivy. -- Ivan P
Momba -- A hypnotic dance indeed; shame I couldn't learn more from one so
experienced... -- Stingo Rarr
Anti -- An Impressive performance... Welcome Back indeed!! -- BW
Barley -- The challenge was a fatal mistake for me... I die a promising, if
unspectacular, 9-9-13-17-15-6-15 ST that will be missed on the team... As always, no
Spoonertik's death can go unpunished (or at least without trying!!)... Expect a crazy
mover to come stalking you first... -- Ghost of Fourth Nork
Bad News Bear -- Came on too strong there, didn't I? -- Earvling Klash
Swamp Burn Hammer -- Hmm, I won... -- Gauntlyn
Scomms 2 -- Unusual would be an understatement, but if you're trying to get killed,
I'm the wrong opponent. -- Pariah
The Late Tracy Williams -- I'm, like, TOTALLY sorry! You had me on the ropes, and I
just, like, freaked out! Still, maybe the afterlife is a nicer place. -- Kortalia
Balder -- You caught me unprepared for that challenge...well done. -- Nyan'ti, now
departed
Buddy Lee, Liam, Owlin -- Awaiting confirmation for the TW. Is Azaziel in or out?
His team "The Fallen" will activate on turn 268 either way, so let me know. And once
again, good luck in all of life's "Arenas." -- Michael Eldritch
I, Mannequin of Second Bananas, declare for SCOMSSS.
SCOMSSS Shire -- Way to form another overpowered team with like seven of the top nine
chartered teams in the arena. You disgust me. I hope the other teams rise up and
rebel against the evil overlords who are oppressing the masses. -- Manager
9 August 2008
All -- We are currently looking for capable manager that will give the Desolate
Empire Alliance a full roster for the Turf War. We currently have four (4) roster
slots that are open to capable managers without questionable morals. If interested
for the Turf War, contact: Lamar Treas-Wilson, Dok Sik, Dok Sik Killas DM 47

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:

Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5
Match Up +1 -1 +1 -5
Bloodfeud +2 -5 +5 -10
Champion x2 x2 x2 x2

*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.

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,

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

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

Name-Change-O-Rama
The summer tourney brought a lot of people to the Isle who didn't appear there
normally. This included Commission employees. Half a dozen arenamasters regarded
each other warily in the mirror behind the bar at the Pig in a Haystack. The Pig was
obscure and mediocre, drawing few gladiators, which is what they had all been looking
for. They saw gladiators every day. Most arenamaster were convinced that this was
some kind of punishment.
You could always pick out the arenamasters in a crowd. There were superficial
differences: One of these had clearly Adantri features, one wore an eye-patch, two
were female. But there were, in significant ways, alike. The same size, the same
hair-trigger alertness, the same deadliness.
The one-eyed man broke the ice, raising his beer mug in salute. "I'm Zrof One-
Eye from Zukal. Sugar of Arvat--" One of the women bowed slightly. "I know Sugar.
The rest of you...?"
The Adantri matched his salute. "Dernal of Dayla Kiv."
"Daiyla Kiv? Ah...."
"No, without the 'I' in it. These damned bureaucrats can't spell, and they
thought adding an unnecessary vowel was exotic." Disgust dripped from his voice.
"Tell me about it!" another man growled in agreement. "Khagal of Niatoli, and
what they do to the spelling of THAT simple word--!"
"I thought Daiyla, I mean Dayla Kiv had a different name right now,"
Arenamistress Sugar said. "The arena, at least, because of a contest?"
"Chavez Ravine." Dernal's tone was the one that substituted in polite company
for spitting on the floor.
Zrof blinked, taken aback by the bitterness. He wouldn't have minded a contest
in Zukal, and damn what they called the place. "It's only temporary, though."
"Temporary, shmiperary," another man muttered. He seemed well into his drinking,
although, like all arenamasters, he carried his liquor well. "They do it all the time
in Aradi. No reshpect. Go around changing thish, changing that. I wish I could
change shome thingsh." He signalled the bartender for a refill.
The second woman put her hand over his mug. "You've had enough, Harkon. Try the
coffee, instead."
"You should be mad, too, Ripplesh," Harkon said. "They're going to do shtuff
like that in Jahnsh, aren't they?"
Ripples Dorrigan shrugged. All the men paused, some with glasses half raised, to
watch. "It's the way things are," she said. "Not much we can do about it."
"You know," Khagal of Niatoli said, "maybe we could make a few changes. Fix the
spelling of Arena 33, for one, change a few standby titles--"
"The Commission hates changes." Dernal of Dayla Kiv topped up his glass and
drained it gloomily.
"Yes, but if we disguise it," Sugar of Arvat said, excited, "make it... maybe a
general Name-Change-O-Rama! Then we could slip OUR changes through and no one would
notice or mind."
