     Perhaps you have not seen the rules for TW8, which has been posted in all
newsletters?  Here they are.

                                *TURF WAR 8 RULES*

Starting July 30 2012 (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. The confirmation/verification must
occur after, or in the same newsletter, but not before, the participants declaration.
(Lack of participant indication of joining and/or subsequent 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 same or
subsequent newsletter by the alliance Captain they will represent.
               c.  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).
               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 3 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
Challenge (up or within same class) +2     -2     +5       -5
Down Challenge "Challenger"         -2     -2     -5       -5
Down Challenge "Challenged"         +2      0     +5       -5
Match Up                            +1     -1     +1       -5
Bloodfeud Challenge (Up or Down)    +2     -5     +5      -10 
Champion **                         x2     x2     x2       x2

Tournament Death***                                        -3
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.
    ** Champions double applies to his score only - not to opponent.
    *** No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death
or death in a tournament or graduation.  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 team tournament participation are 1 for 1 entrant, 3 for 2
entrants, 6 for 3 entrants, 10 for 4 entrants, and 15 for 5 entrants.  A TV scores 7
points or a TC scores 15 points.   Death in a tournament results in a -3 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:
Full Team:                                        +1
      1. A team which fights 4+ warriors (Includes DAing) gets a point
Full Alliance                                     +1
      2. An alliance were ALL teams get a Full Team point earns a point
Full Team/Alliance scores
      3. Will double for the last half (6 rounds) of TW8.
Style Master:                                     +2
      1. No matter how many stylemasters, an individual team can score only +2 per
         round.
Duelmaster:                                       +2
      1. Duelmaster points shall be earned separate of stylemaster points.

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.
     5.  A Champion can be declared on any round and point factors will begin that
         same turn.  (Must meet above 4 conditions prior to declaring.)

Bloodfeuds:
        1.  Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns.
        2.  There is no limit to which warrior may bloodfeud or how often.
        3.  To score as a bloodfeud, then feud/death must have occurred totally
within the TW8.  (E.g. Feuds created prior to TW8 will not be deemed or scored as a
bloodfeud, but rather as a challenge or downchallenge.

Downchallenges:
        1.  A downchallenge occurs when a warrior challenges a warrior in a lower
class.  (Lower class is defined as lower than the identical class.  E.g. A challenger
champion class challenging a champion class is a down challenge.)
        2.  In TW8 a standard challenge is up (in recognition points), parallel or
within the identical class but lower recognition.
        3.  No challenge by The Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.  (This
rule supersedes all other downchallenge rules.)

Tournament Considerations:
        1.  Tournament participation is allowed and ENCOURAGED as a great form of
recognition for North Fork.
        2.  Tournament Victors (live only) won during the course of the contest will
gain a one (1) time bonus of 7 points.  This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s)
wins such status.
        3.  Tournament Champions (live only) won during the course of the contest
will gain a one (1) time bonus of 15 points.  This bonus will apply EACH time a
warrior(s) win such status.
        4.  Points awarded for tournament participation are are 1 for 1 entrant, 3
for 2 entrants, 6 for 3 entrants, 10 for 4 entrants, and 15 for 5 entrants.  A TV
scores 7 points additional or a TC scores 15 points additional.  Death in a
tournament results in an additional -3 score.
        5.  Points for entrants, TVs, 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 300, points will be credited on North Fork
turn 301 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 four (4) teams/managers allowed per alliance
for the Turf War VII.  The minimum is two (2).
        4.  The Dark Arena may be used on the first FE turn (e.g. no arena or
tournament fights) only, of every warrior, without penalty.
        5.  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.  However, for TW8, a prize
(RU cert) 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
this 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, and two additional for the captain of the alliance).
        3.  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).
        4.  +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.
        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)
        6. Two additional 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:
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 late July 2012 following the Summer FTF.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome NORTH FORK.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  Woof!  PURE POISON 
were a bunch of dogs after VEGAN CANNIBALS got through with 'em!  2nd ain't so sweet 
as 1st!  Who can explain it?  Not you, not me, not LUROCIAN DEVILS' opponents, after 
watching them shoot up the ranks from 28th to 15th.  It seems so recently people were 
saying VEGAN CANNIBALS was washed up, finished.  But 4-1-0 moved them up 3.  I guess 
they're washed no more...  What's with TENTH INNING?  It actually beat FANTASTIC 
FIVE's INCREDIBLE HULK, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight.  Major 
screwup at IN QETERNUM.  AEGRE ID MILES lost 12 points to COLOSSUS.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe AEGRE ID MILES will provide more easy wins...  Another 
fighter (ULTIMA REGUM 18-9-0) challenged another Duelmaster (ARTICHOKE ON THIS! 
14-7-1).  Life goes on.  I can barely restrain my enthusiam for IN QETERNUM's 
outstanding member, Duelmaster ULTIMA REGUM.  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give 
up fighting!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  How 
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team!  Don't fall out of 
practive, VEGAN CANNIBALS!  Management must be dealin', as the boys at MYSTIC ORC 
FEAST ain't reelin'!  VEGAN CANNIBALS' mad!  What do people see in SPAWN?  His 
11-9-0?  FANTASTIC FIVE ain't talkin', but he's got 92 points.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Sending a warrior to the Dark Arena reminds the 
others they'd better shape up.  Tough beans, HAWKEYE.  That's what a 9-5-1 gets you.  
Some people in NORTH FORK think SECOND BANANAS was too harsh when they sent HAWKEYE 
(9-5-1) to the Dark Arena.  Them's the breaks, I say.  We all knew it had to happen 
sooner or later.  A warrior can't stick around with a 4-13-1, and RED VIXEN easily 
took care of TACTIS AEGER.  I like to see warriors put young whippersnappers in their 
place.  I guess you could say CHEERS'CARLA did just that.  Right FRIENDS?  Methinks 
MYSTIC ORC FEAST's desire for revenge against OBSIDIAN ORDER passes with each passing 
moment...  One week left guys!  Let's get on with the show!  Is it my imagination, or 
are fighters getting younger every day?  To die so young, so gloriously!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  The end 
of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  I don't want to 
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

     The preceding personal was cut short by hal, and I have completed it as seemed
     proper.  If I erred, blame me, not the Greek Guy.

The champion for Lurocians will be Temptress. -- TGG

Yield, O Punisher, and let us be about useful efforts. -- Catherd

Whatever did happen to the Bloodgames, anyway?  Enquiring managers wanna know.

     Commission office.

War. -- Assur

All -- Devil's Rejects make it known to all that we will be joining Club Fed for this

this new team was built right, not like my last team "Beatnick Horde."  Ha!  Good
luck all. -- Lucifer

Fancy Lad -- Well *bleep* that was so not my fault!  Nothing like 3 fight match ups

Well, I guess it's that time again.  The Turf War is upon us, and fine managers from
across the land are teaming together to see which teams are best.  So the newly
rejuvenated and renovated Team LOL is again tossing their collective hats into the
fray.  We will have a new look, but hopefully be equally as deadly.  I, Stormlord,
manager of Alaskan Pipeline, will be the captain of our motley crew.  Here again is
Reaper of Abysmal Rites, Khisanth of Serpents Hold 200 and JE of Errata.  Let the
Mayhem begin! -- Stormlord

All -- The Dark One will be on the team brotherhood of the blade in the turf war. --
tgg captain

     rejected by hal.

I, Otis, am declaring myself part of the LBA+ team for the upcoming Turf War.  Been a
few years but glad to be back at least one arena.

I, the Dark One, hereby declare for the Turf War, for the Brotherhood of the Blade

our captain.

Errata will join Team LOL for the Turf War.  Stormlord will be our captain.

People of Northfork -- I, Sigurd Fafnisbane, am announcing my intention to compete in
Turf War 8 with my team Jomsvikings.  This team will be part of the greater alliance
Deep PMS, led by Deep Thought, who will captain us to many great victories, I am
sure. -- Sigurd Fafnisbane, manager Jomsvikings, team 'Deep PMS'.

All -- I, Baron Bentwsord, manager of the team Team Toons, intend to represent the
GVSOP alliance, captained by Howlin' Wolf of OBG. -- Baron Bentsword

     Another attempt by Khisanth is rejected by hal.  Are you sending plain text?

Just a correction for the Turf War.  Reaper will actually join Team LOL with the
stable Dreams of Kadath and not Abysmal Rites. -- Storm Lord

All -- Dreams Of Kadath declares for team LOL. -- Reaper, Manager

I would like to confirm my participation in the TW8.  My name is Scruffy Puff,
manager of Friends, and member of team Deep PMS.

Lucifer -- Worst...Ally...Ever...EVER!  I am so scratching your eyes out! --
glitterboy

All -- Hola mis chicos! ... And... Women folk... I guess.  Anyhoo, seeing how Vae
Victus chose NOT to tell you about Club Fed (rude isn't he...)  Allow me. *devlish
grin*  Here's some insight for you!  Skaven... hmm, he's old, smart and really
mean... turly.  Vae Victus, well, he thinks he's an athlete of some kind and his
socks stick to the wall!  (No joke!)  Lucifer is WEIRD, real weird, and it look like
he combs his hair iwth a pork chop, I swear.  As for me?  Glitterboy?  That's easy!
*grin*  I'm the pretty one! -- Glitterboy

Hello all you North Forkers -- As Captain of our newly formed union, it is my great
