SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TEMPLE OF ABARSIS games. Former top team MANEGERIAL
MAYHEM was unseated this week as LAND OF OZ moved up from 3rd ranking to take the top
spot with a 5-0-0 record for the round. LOST HONOR bore the brunt of major assault
on their standings this week as they dropped to 17th position as the result of going
1-4-0! My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you
fall. This week THE OPERA went 0-2-0 and fell 12 notches into 22nd!
Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner! Witness how this week
FAST FOOD went 5-0-0 to move up 8 in the rankings. Did only my eyes note the 5-0-0
record which OBSIDIAN ORDER managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a
record will draw challengers! EARVLING KLASH caught the eye of many in the
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested ROIS ANIN and was awarded 20 points
in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, BROOMSTICK put down BELLUM,
causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. Due to his absence and
inability to defend the throne, SPAWING OF SPEWN has lost the title of Duelmaster.
The city has turned out in honor of MY SHADOW, for with his arena victory he may now
lay claim to the highest position in the city! Heed this! A seer has warned that if
exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or
7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TEMPLE OF ABARSIS. TEMPLE OF ABARSIS, city of gladiators! Mighty among
the names of thy guilds is ABYSMAL RITES, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the
weekly duels. Methinks more than a few here could name the guild it was that spent
the better part of last week avoiding ABYSMAL RITES. Indeed it was LAND OF OZ.
Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that
many fighters are after JUNEAU DAWNING. Watch your back! A match that raised a few
eyebrows at the games this week, it seems that KANA BALLISTIC posted a challenge
against the more highly recognized MY SHADOW. The results, you ask? Well, the
firebrand KANA BALLISTIC was beat by MY SHADOW. Remember warriors, this is the
discipline of steel.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. My hearty congratulations GORGON, for
thy revenge upon TUUMS, slayer of thy fallen comrade. Next time he will know better,
eh? Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins. In the arena there is only the
brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in TEMPLE OF ABARSIS. Nice atmosphere you have here! 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

Sorry to see you will be missing the Turf Wars. (wink) -- Oz The All Praising
P.S. Super congrats to Spawing Of Spewn, the North Fork Duelmaster
Vincere Mors -- You beat me fair and square. Kudos on avenging the bloodfeud. --
Broomstick
In Queternum -- I am pleased that you took advantage of your opportunity to
bloodfeud. It should be known that due to tournament prepping, Broomstick may not
always be available for additional feuds. -- Oz The All Communicating
Well, well, well. Teams in The Turf War are limited to five managers max. Since the
SCOMSSS variations have included eight different teams, which will compose the
November TW Five? Since Crip and Oz were seen plotting at The Face, those two seem
apparent, but neither has indicated they will be Captain. Perhaps soon, we will see
commitments and declarations. -- Oz The All Excited
ALL -- Get your Captains to declare teams! Get your Managers to join teams! It must
be done publicly in the North Fork Newsletter. There is really very little time left
before The Turf Wars begin. (ONLY TWO MORE NEWSLETTERS after this one to declare!!!)
-- Oz The All Reminding
Juneau Dawning -- Thanks for the challenge. I needed both the oil and the win. --
Off To See The...
Kat -- Where are you? Are you hiding in a basket. Well, I had great fun and the win
was a blessing. -- Basket
The Userous Merchant? Great! One of few in this whole arena that I can beat. Thank
you MUGs! -- Quadling
Hilroc Ibbins -- Perhaps you would win more if you didn't always choose the middle
way? Sometimes the high road or the low road are best. (wink) -- Golden Cap
Hiiroc -- No, I don't quack, but I heard you are one. -- Quadling
Michael Eldritch, Force Of Will, good luck on latching on to a team. I want to say
on Michael's behalf -- to all team searches out there -- that from what we observed
at the last Turf War, he makes a formidable teammate, and he can be counted on to
always be there to fight. Our team is full, but we would certainly consider him a
competitor of substance. -- Oz The All Helpful
All -- I am looking for a Turf War team to join. I will be bringing my Palindromes
back for its 3rd Turf War. I am joining for enjoyment and do not anticipate being on
the winning team (my team is 47-60-4), but I do have every intention to run all 12
turns and will do my best with the little I have. -- Assurnasirbanipal
All -- I am interested in participating in the TW but was throughly confused about
how to join or if I even can. Comments are welcome. -- Vae Victus, mgr In Qeternum
Broomstick and Oz -- Well... I didn't exepect that. One more. -- Vae Victus, mgr In
Qeternum
All -- To be fair, the mgr. of Obsidian Order and I know each other and I have
avoided him as much as he has avoided me. Although funny, the last spy report did
not do him justice. -- Vae Victus
What can you expect from a golem? They don't have any concept of justice. --
Arenamaster Okel
Shade -- So nice to see you after all these years and no doubt were you are the
Stranger is not to far? -- Arkane
Stranger -- Thanx for the invite to this family reunion? It feels like old times. --
Arkane
Plague -- No my finest turn but have to knock the rust off. -- Arkane
Madwand -- Was looking through some old OLD turns many moons agao and Shellshock is
still taking up way too much space in my stable so if you want his fights just let me
know. -- Arkane
Shade, Stranger, Plague, Madwand -- Last arena I tried equalize now it's just time
for vengeance. Let the games begin! -- Arkane
Agaric -- Guess I need to pay your partner a visist next, eh? -- Earvling Klash, sole
surviving Force of Will
All -- Still looking for an alliance to join while I send my team through Purgatory.
-- Michael Eldritch, mgr Force of Will
P.S. Second rule clarification: Is the down challenge defined as "anyone with less
recognition, or anyone below your bracket?" Also, is the Duelmaster subject to this
rule?
P.P.S. I'm not trying to be a pest, Oz and Darque. Just trying to avoid confusion
once the TW starts.
For that matter, what about down-challenges in visible fights? -- Okel, just
curious
Welcome all new teams. -- Luudo, mgr the Bizzarr
Chance -- That's 1 a piece! Shall we bare knuckle the grudge? *lol* -- Raglin
Fast Food -- Good to see you made it. -- Luudo, mgr the Bizzarr
The Titans -- Ahhh, yes, I remember. -- Luudo, mgr the Bizzarr
Oz -- I have nothing left to prove:
-- Two time Turf War winner? Check.
-- 2-0 as Turf War Team Captain? Check.
-- Only team captain to captain to TOTALLY DIFFERENT teams to victory? Check.
-- Destroyed SCOMSSS as we know it? Check.
-- Manager
Khisanth -- I hope you know what you're getting yourself into. -- Manager
Spawning of Spewn -- I most certainly wasn't expecting a title fight last turn, let
alone against the likes of you! Congratulations on the throne... well done. -- Kana
Ballistic
Daster Marque -- A little peck on your cheek should help dull the pain of my blades
on your flesh. -- Kiss of Death
Ace of Base -- I lost the farm on that bet... you've got some moxy young padwa. --
Judgement Day
Crister Moffee -- Outh... I hope we can combine that rethounding butt whooping and my
apology for the kill, and conthider the matter clothed! -- Thadithic Lithper
Eureka Pride -- I thought I struck gold, but it was only a yellow rock. -- Suicide
Blind
All -- "LOL" would like to proudly announce that we will be announcing something
related to the Turf War next turn!! <insert devious smirk here> -- Marma Duke
Ten Lords Aleapin -- And not as happily as I am! Graduation took me by surprise. --
Rondol Quiglo
P.S. And pleasant surprises are so rare....
Golden Cap -- It doesn't go with my hair. -- Hilroc Ibbins
Dafne -- Wow, that high note shattered my armor! -- Velma Xavil
Sensei San -- Damn. -- Ghost of Sonny Urk
Mirage -- That kind of thing really makes my head ache. -- Nin Quire
Jack Knife -- Good. -- Ron Quiglo
Our congratulations to Spawning of Spewn and Ten Lords Aleapin. -- Jorja and the
Middle Way
All -- So happy to see the Turf Wars are continuing, and kudoes to the folks who've
kept it alive. It's been some time since I've been able to play, but I'm back
again... various reasons prevented my return until now... I've linked up with some
old friends who are also returning to DM (it'll always be that) and we're intending
to participate in this great event here in North Fork. If you need to contact me, do
so through this site, or by diplo.... -- Baphomet, mgr. Knights Templar
19 August 10
POSTED: Arena recruitment effort, DM 32, Arvat -- seeing as our arena Participation
has dwindled in recent months, we're offering the following incentive to any new
teams looking for a new home arena. We will GIVE a Free Rollup to any manager
willing to agree to fight in Arvat for the next 10 turns. We have a number of VERY
solid arena teams stockpiled, and while we don't promise tournament godlings, we are
certain we can come up with teams with 3, 4 or even 5 solid arena warriors to start
out with.
In addition we'll honor any no-challenge requests by relatively new managers to
help you get off on the right foot.
If interested, please contact the Devil Advocates via Diplo or contact
theDarkOne via IM on the www DOT reality DOT com site. We will even give a choice of
teams available if requested.

THE TURF WAR IS HERE AGAIN!!!!!
*************************************************************************************
*TURF WAR VII RULES*
Starting Nov 2010 (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. (Lack of participant indication of
joining and/or lack of 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 newsletter
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
(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 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. (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
Up Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5
Down Challenge 0 -2 0 -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*** -5
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,
** A Champion's double score applies to his score only -- not to the opponent.
*** No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death
or death in a tournament. 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
tournament participation are 5 for any entrant, 15 for a TV and 25 for a TC. Death in
a tournament negates any tournament points gained and results in a-5 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:
Spy Report mention (team name only) +2
1. No matter how many mentions or stylemasters, an individual team can score
only +2 in each category per round
Style Master +2
1. No matter how many mentions or stylemasters, an individual team can score
only +2 in each category per round
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 have fought at least one previous fight in the North Fork
(DM47 arena) to be able to be declared a champion.
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 15 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 25 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) win
such status.
4. Points awarded for tournament participation are 5 for any entrant, (15
total for a TV and 25 total for a TC.) However, death in a tournament will result in
a -5 score for that tournament. (If a warrior TV's and is subsequently killed in a
tournament the points scored are -5 for that tournament.)
5. Points for TVs and 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 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 five (5) teams allowed per alliance for the
Turf War VII.
4. The Dark Arena may be used on the first turn only, of every warrior,
without penalty.
Prizes:
The Turf War is normally a "winner take all" contest. However, for TWVII, a prize
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 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);
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
DM47 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 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)
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 November 2010 following the Fall Mail In.
