Consider well the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established and ordered 
aright. --- Proverbs 4:26 Amplified Classic

Hammer was pleasantly surprised when he discovered a few gold coins in his possession 
that provided the completion of the Killer Blades! registration for the Turf War 12 
competition!

Maximillian was unavailable at the present time, so the Veteran Manager went ahead and 
paid the fee for Six Gift Certs with instructions for the Gladiatorial Commission to 
forward the Gift Certs to Oz the All Gift Certs Collector.

Hammer noted that 3 of the Gift Certs were for his Aberrant 5 Blades and the other 3 
Gift Certs were for the Natural B. Killers 2 registration requirements.

Now the Veteran Manager could turn his attention to sorting through his list of 
possible Warriors that might pique his interest to send to the Fall Tourney.

Not to mention his preparations for the upcoming Kaltos Kaos that Hammer was hosting 
in Kaltos Arena beginning with T-926 due date February 1, 2021 after the completion of 
the Tempe Facer in January.

There seemed to be plenty of time to do all these things b& but the stark reality is 
that 'Time Waits For No One!'

Now is the Time to Prepare for War!

"May Your Blades Be Sharp and Your Wits Sharper!"

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in NORTH FORK a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets 
poor.  So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  It seems the training can 
make the difference, as ABERRANT 5 BLADES is pushed out of top team by FAST FOOD, who 
came from 6th with a 4-1-0 this turn.  I want to know who's buying the drinks for who 
tonight at The Warty Toad, seeing as TEAM HAS NO NAME's 6-4-1 has earned them 8th 
place in the ranks.  The DARQUE FORCES guild has had a 4-0-1 turn and deserves to be 
watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's 
see, BLAZE fought LORD OF BARKNESS and gained 26 points and contributed to RUBBER 
SOUL 6's 1-0-0.  LORD OF BARKNESS has lost to BLAZE, falling 22 points, while helping 
make REIGNNCATSNDOGS a 1-1-0 turn.  Due to his absence and inability to defend the 
throne, BLIZZARD has lost the title of Duelmaster.  And not without some honor, 
RETURN OF THE KING now claims the title and throne of Duelmaster of NORTH FORK.  Tell 
me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Warty Toad 
uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.  SNOW FORT has cause to stand tall, as they 
were NORTH FORK's most avoided team.  A smart manager knows this is a team to beat.  
And guess who avoided SNOW FORT stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was ROYAL 
FLUSH.  Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that INFERNO from ASSASSIN 
NATION was NORTH FORK's most challenged warrior this turn.   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  WEIRD ALCHEMY made what looks to be 
a tough decision this turn, as they sent MUCKY MORSE, with a record of 7-7-1, to 
MUCKY MORSE death.  Farewell, his.  DA MEAT must have surprised TEAM HAS NO NAME this 
turn, after they sent him to the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena couldn't hold him!  
We'd like to remind certain teams not to rob the graves of their enemies.  You know 
who you are; and it's considered rude.   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  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 NORTH FORK again, 
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

                       TURF WAR XII -- TW12       (Rev 8-8-20)
                      (Start turn after FTF or Mailer JAN 2021)

                   Bring acclaim and glory to the North Fork (DM47)

TURF WARS is a team event and unlike all other events in D2, involves "certs."

Anyone may participate; known alliances, new alliances, thrown-together alliances, or 
temporary alliances created solely to compete in the Turf War!  To participate, each 
alliance or participant must:

1.  Announce an Alliance Name, Captain, and Assistant of the alliance in the North 
    Fork (DM 47) newsletter or on the RSI site. 

2.  Determine and submit either 1 or 2 or 3 certificates per participant. Amounts can 
    be different per alliance participant. (See Scoring section for more details.)

3.  Each participating team must run in DM47 on one of the three turns prior to the 
    start of TW12 so that the team shows in the last newsletter prior to the 1st TW12 
    turn.

At the end of the game, Captains are responsible for distributing any winning 
certificates to the team participants.

No alliance scores can be tabulated until the chosen amount of RSI Gift Certificates 
are received, the teams are listed in the newsletter, and participant indication and 
captain confirmation are posted in the North Fork newsletter.

All entry certs should be sent to Oz or The Consortium via RSI.

Only one (1) team per player/manager may compete in the Turf Wars, and only one team 
per player/manager may compete in North Fork DM47 during the Turf War. 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). NOTE: Since alliances require two teams, this would mean the remaining 
alliance member cannot score in the TW.

Any Turf War team must show/be posted/listed in the DM47 Newsletter just prior to 
their actual scoring/participation. (E.g. New teams, transfers, current teams must 
show up in the newsletter prior to the beginning of participation, allowing opponent 
knowledge and challenging/avoiding.) Manager/teams may not participate/score in the 
Turf War the same turn they are first posted in the newsletter. (So get your team in 
the newsletter early.) Teams do not have to run that turn prior to TW12-T1, but will 
have had to run shortly before to allow their warriors to be visible in the newsletter 
just prior to TW12-T1.

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, confirmation, NL listing, and Gift 
Certificate received.

No declarations or confirmations will be accepted after Turn 2 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.)

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 -25 points.)

SCORING will be as follows: Only three things affect scoring. Number of initial certs 
submitted, wins, fighting all five warriors, and the round modifier. (Later rounds 
have higher modifiers.)

NUMBER OF CERTS SUBMITTED

1. Alliances will start the competition with the amount of points based on the amount 
   of certs submitted.

          Two certs (1 each, the minimum required) = 0 points.
          Three certs total = 3 points for the alliance
          Four certs total = 6 points for the alliance
          Five certs total = 10 for the alliance
          Six certs (the max) total = 15 for the alliances

2. After the sixth and after the eleventh round those same amount of turn starting 
   points are awarded to each alliance.

3. Hence, alliances may earn up to 45 points through the event via certs. (Note: cert 
   points are not impacted by the Round Modifier.)

NUMBER OF WINS

1. Each teammate win per round is worth 3 base points. (e.g. 1 win = 3 points, 5 wins 
   = 15 points)

FIGHT ALL FIVE WARRIORS

1. Each turn there is a +3 base point bonus for each teammate fighting all five 
   warriors

2. Each turn there is a -3 base point penalty for each teammate not fighting all five 
   warriors.

ROUND MODIFIER

1. The first 6 rounds of TW12 are scored at 1x base points. (Base points includes win 
   scoring, and any all-5 bonus/penalty, but not any cert scoring)

2. The 7th through 11th rounds are scored at 2x base points.

3. For the final and 12th round, base point scoring is at x3.

Special Considerations:

1. There will be NO alliance or team changes once the contest has begun.  If you begin 
   the Turf War with Alliance X, you must end the Turf War with Alliance X.  If you 
   begin the Turf War with Team X, you must end the Turf War with Team X.

2. Each alliance is comprised of two and only two managers.

3. The Dark Arena may be used without penalty. (Limit twice per warrior.)

4, 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

Certs:  The winning alliance gets 70% of the pooled certs. Second place alliance gets 
20%, and third place gets 10%.

It is the responsibility of the Captain of the winning alliance to distribute Gift 
Certificates to his alliance. Moderators will mail them shortly after the final round. 
Moderators will submit a list of each manager winner to RSI at the completion of the 
contest for the RSI awarded prizes, to then be claimed by the manager from RSI 
Customer Service within 6 months.

warrior, and one max prize applied to any warrior ? all within 6 months)(one max prize

These RSI awards will be listed by the Moderators within two weeks of round twelve for 
individual claiming from RSI within 4 turns of the end of TWXII. 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, Master Darque, and Assur. (The 
TWX Triumvirate) 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 or Bash Bros Park via diplo in DM 47.  
Managers with internet access may send a private message to [The Consortium] or 
[Darque] or [Assur] on the Duel2 Forums.  Lastly, you may also email questions, 
comments, and scoring disputes to rebelnerfherder@yahoo.com or wfms101@aol.com or or
