                   *TURF WAR 13 (TW13) RULES* (revision 9-7-22-WS)

                  Starting Jan, right after the FTF, T453 (10 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.  Indicate in the newsletter or on the RSI site your three team alliance. 
    (You must state your alliance name, 3 team names, and 3 manager names.)

2.  Request 3 gift certificates per manager from RSI as entry fee for TW13. 
    RSI will hold all certs and distribute as team rus to TW13 winners.  
    (**Change from past TWs)  DO NOT send, or have sent, certs to the Moderators.  
    Deadline: December 31, 2022.

3.  Teams and warriors must be listed in the DM452 NL in order to compete. 
    (This allows challenges on TW turn 1.)

Other rules and discussion.

1.  Only one (1) team per manager/player may be active in the arena.

2.  If at any time, the Moderators determine that any non-TW team, whether a 2nd team 
    or a non-TW manager's 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.

3.  As usual, any Turf War team must be shown/be posted in the DM47 Newsletter just 
    prior (T452) to the actual scoring/participation start on T453 (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). 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.

4.  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.)

5.  Definitions:
    Team     = individual manager's stable
    Alliance = three teams united

6.  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.)

7.  It is not the spirit of competition to challenge fellow members of the same 
    alliance. Hence, challenges as such will be scored as losses for both warriors.

8.  Downchallenges:  
    A downchallenge = a warrior challenges a warrior with lesser recognition points.
    No challenge or bloodfeud by the Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.
    No challenge of the Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.
    Bloodfeuds against warriors with lesser recognition are deemed downchallenges.

9.  Tournament participation is allowed and encouraged as a great form of acclaim and 
    recognition for North Fork and is an opportunity for warriors to gain skills and 
    preferred challenging within the Turf War.

10. 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 B, you must end the Turf War with Team B.

11. The Dark Arena may be used at any time without penalty. However, only one win 
    against a D.A. Monster per each stable warrior shall count as a win. Additional 
    wins will count as a loss for that warrior.

12. It is highly recommended that managers direct RSI to place their team ON 
    TEAM MAINTENANCE for the TW13 duration so that your team will fight (and earn 
    points) even if your submitted new strategies are delayed or don't make it.

_____________________________________________________________________

SCORING will be as follows: 

Team Points
     a.  Fights made: (includes DA fights)
          1 = 0 points
          2 = 0 points
          3 = 1 point
          4 = 2 points
          5 = 5 points
     b.  Wins earned;
          0 = 0 points
          1 = 1 point
          2 = 2 points
          3 = 3 points
          4 = 5 points
          5 = 10 points
     c.  Down Challenge: 
          (-5) points each (DM is exempt from DC rule/penalty)
     d.  Team with most wins per round earns 3 additional points
          (If ties, no points awarded; no tiebreaker on wins)

Alliance Points (Rounds 1-4)
     a.  Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made)
     b.  Alliance fights 15 warriors = 3 points
     c.  Alliance with most wins per round = 3
          (If ties, no points awarded; no tiebreaker on wins)

Alliance Points (Rounds 5-8)
     a.  Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made)
     b.  Alliance fights 15 warriors = 3 points
     c.  Alliance with most wins per round = 7 points
          (If ties, no points awarded; no tiebreaker on wins)

Alliance Points (Rounds 9-10)
     a.  Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made)
     b.  Alliance fights 15 warriors = 6 points
     c.  Alliance with most wins per that round = 10 points
          (If ties, no points awarded; no tiebreaker on wins)

Team points (from 3 teams) + alliance points = Total Alliance Points.
The Alliance with the most points after turn 10 is THE WINNER!

PRIZES:
The Turf War is meant to be a near "winner takes all" contest. Moderators will submit 
a list of each prize won (by manager) at the completion of the contest. RSI awarded 
prizes must then be claimed by the manager from RSI Customer Service within 4 months. 
The team rollups won will be distributed by RSI to the winners shortly after receipt

         rollups

RSI awards: Prizes may only be applied to DM47 warriors who participated in TW13. 
No prize may create an out-of-bounds warrior. Only one max prize may be applied per 
warrior, so if you win two prizes they cannot be applied to the same warrior.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt NORTH FORK will ever be the same.  It seems the training can make the 
difference, as LAZY BOYZ is pushed out of top team by DARQUE FORCES, who came from 
4th with a 3-0-0 this turn.  Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are 
sorrows to drown for ABERRANT 5 BLADES, whose 1-4-0 this turn dropped them by 8 into 
10th.  BOOK OF THOMAS stable has parlayed this turn's 4-1-0 into a 7 space move up 
the rankings.  This brings them up to 2nd place.  Good work, guys!  The DARQUE FORCES 
guild has had a 3-0-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know 
where this kind of thing can lead.  And let's see, SERF fought WENDY and gained 22 
points and contributed to SATAN'S MINIONS' 3-1-0.  FEMINIST has lost to DANCING 
QUEEN, falling 13 points, while helping make THE PURGE 209 a 2-3-0 turn.  BAUM 
challenged for the Duelmastership this turn, attempting to dethrone DARQUE FORCES' 
warrior.  Defending his title for another turn, FRENZY kept LAND OF OZ's warrior, 
BAUM, from claiming the throne.  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from 
unimpeachable sources that The Dripping Blade uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about 
gristle!   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the DARQUE FORCES stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on NORTH FORK, what are you afraid of?  And guess who 
avoided DARQUE FORCES stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was QUACK PACK.  Anyone 
surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was FAST FOOD's warrior FORBIDDEN 
FRUIT.  More fighters challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster!  I don't know 
about you, but AUNTIE EM challenging down 20 points to BOOK OF THOMAS' SPOT LIGHT, is 
not really worthy of LAND OF OZ.  I thought challenges were for warriors, not cowards 
looking for easy wins.  AUNTIE EM overcame SPOT LIGHT, is nothing sacred?  Well now, 
what do you expect when someone like VERTIGO from DOWNWARD SPIRAL challenges down 26 
points to fight LEONNATIAS of WHITE WOLVES?  Well, surprise, surprise, VERTIGO lost 
to LEONNATIAS, and by the way, VERTIGO now has a recognition score of 27.  Tsk, tsk, 
tsk.  READ THE ROOM, does your manager know you're challenging down 23 points to 
fight MAXIMUS from WHITE WOLVES?  Well, will you look at this, READ THE ROOM was 
defeated by MAXIMUS, and DOWNWARD SPIRAL will have to explain why they made such a 
challenge in the first place.  In a brave attempt, BIG TEN from ROYAL FLUSH 
challenged up 21 points to fight PILLAGE from the THE PURGE 209 stable.  BIG TEN 
perhaps got its just desserts, seeing as it was beat by PILLAGE and ended up with 95 
recognition points.   
     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.  THE PURGE 209 made what looks to be 
a tough decision this turn, as they sent VIRUS, with a record of 8-10-0, to VIRUS 
death.  Farewell, his.  You gotta do what you gotta do.  TEAM HAS NO NAME has sent 
SQUINTER to the Dark Arena.  The deed is done.  Lift the ale, and toast the memory.  
A farewell moment, if you please, SPOOK SOLDIER of SPECTRAL STEEL has been sent to 
the Dark Arena, and was carried out on his shield.  DEATHLY HALLOWS made what looks 
to be a tough decision this turn, as they sent DRACO MAL FOIL, with a record of 
6-7-1, to DRACO MAL FOIL death.  Farewell, his.  You gotta do what you gotta do.  
SPECTRAL STEEL has sent RECON REVENANT to the Dark Arena.  The deed is done.  Lift 
the ale, and toast the memory.  Is it really true that NORTH FORK has more 
dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, NORTH FORK, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in NORTH FORK and 
I've a long road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in NORTH FORK 
again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
