               *official TURF WAR 14 (TW14) RULES* (revision 9-6-24-WS)

         Starting Turn 480 (Feb 10, appx date), just after the FTF, 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 the three team alliance.
   (3 Team names, 3 manager names, and an alliance title)

2. Pay RSI or deduct from account ($15) per manager as entry fee indicating for TW14. 
   (a change from past TWs). RSI will hold as "certs" in a separate account for TW14 
   and distribute as Team RUs to winners of TW14. 
   DO NOT send, or have sent, certs to the Moderators. 
   Must be completed prior to Dec 31, 2024.

3. Teams and alliances will not start scoring until the turn after they appear in the 
   newsletter and are announced. This means that to start scoring on turn 1, the teams 
   must be listed in the newsletter on Turn 479.

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/demanded 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 to the actual scoring/participation start on T480 (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 
   could 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 teams' 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 5-Team 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 is defined as a warrior challenging 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 A, you must end the Turf War with Team A.

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 your team ON 
   MAINTENANCE for the TW14 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 for Fights:

Team Points

  a. Wins earned: 
          0 = -1 points
          1 = +1 point
          2 = +2 points
          3 = +4 points
          4 = +6 points
          5 = =8 points

  b. Down Challenge = (-10) points to the challenger and opponent is credited with a 
     win for point scoring. The DM is exempt from DC rule/penalty.

  c. Four teams will score. The lowest scoring team per round will count duplicate as 
     the 4th team.

  d. Team with most wins per round earns 3 additional points; if ties, no points 
     awarded; no tiebreaker on wins.

Alliance Points

  a. If the three-team alliance fights all 15 fights = 5 Points

     Team points (from 3 teams plus the duplicate) + alliance points = Total Alliance 
     Points(TAP) for the round.

Round Modifier:

  a. Round Modifiers (Multiplier times TAP(Total Alliance Points
     Rounds 1-4 = 1.0; rounds 5-8 = 2.0; rounds 9 and 10 = 3.0.

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 each 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 of the prize list from the Moderators.

Entry Fee Awards:

   *** Winning alliance gets 80% of the pooled team rollups.

   *** 2nd place alliance gets 10% of the pooled team rollups.

   *** Individual Team with most wins in 10 rounds gets 10% of the pooled team rollups

RSI awards may only be applied to DM47 warriors who fought in TW14. These prizes 
cannot create an out-of-bounds warrior, and only one prize may be applied to any 
warrior, meaning that if you win two prizes they cannot be applied to the same 
warrior. All prizes must be used within 4 months. 

Winning alliance: Each manager/team receives:

  ** One Limited Damage Bump (bump one level damage)
  ** One Stat replace (remove 2 SZ, replace 2 to any single other stat) 
  ** One Favorite weapon knowledge 
  ** One +1 base skill potion.

2nd place: Each manager/team receives:

  ** One Favorite weapon knowledge 
  ** One free stat raise (not SZ)

Participation Award: 

  *** to all teams/managers who fight 45 to 47 fights (of 50) = 1 base skill potion
  *** if 48+ fights (of 50) = 2 base skill potions (each to a different warrior)

        ______________________________________________________________________

Moderators:

The Moderators for this event will be Oz, Master Darque, and Assur, the TW 
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 [Master Darque] or 
[Assur] on the Duel2 Forums. Lastly, you may also email questions, comments, and 
scoring disputes to jawastomp@gmail.com or wfms101@aol.com or assurnasir@yahoo.com.

                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
NORTH FORK brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, BIG LAKE GROOVE, 
since WHITE WOLVES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  WHITE 
WOLVES turned their 3-2-1 turn into a 2nd place rank in the listings this turn.  Any 
better than this, and you get put on hit lists.  Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-0-1 is nice, 
but don't get cocky, SATAN'S MINIONS, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are 
proud.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see LOKA WARBEARD win a fight and 
gain 20 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, DROOLMASTER beat ZINK and ZINK lost 12 points.  
You're breakin' my heart.  Due to absence, and inability to defend the throne, JUHR 
ROCKFIST has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  Start setting that alarm earlier!  And 
it's out with the old, in with the new, as ONSLAUGHT takes the Title and last week's 
bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  The Swinging Aardvark, humph!  I've 
tasted better ale at mortuaries.  Where do they get this stuff?  From NORTH FORK's 
trash dumps?   
     Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.  
DARQUE FORCES, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided 
team.  Care to know who is the most afraid of you?  And who led the way in this mass 
act of cowardice?  Let's see, well, whatcha know?  It was WHITE WOLVES.  Ha ha ha ha! 
Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, APEFACE was this turn's most challenged warrior.  
Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  I guess I can give a little credit to APEFACE of 
DARQUE FORCES for challenging up by 21 to CRAPKIN.  APEFACE lost to get 73 points of 
recognition.   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for NORTH FORK's 
morgue.  More variety.  Gee, BIG LAKE MAULERS, ain't it past due for sending THE GUT 
STOMPER Dark Arena?  What took ol' '3-8-0' so long?  Hope?  Ha ha aha ha!  We're all 
going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that 
later?   
     There's got to be a better place in NORTH FORK to get a drink than The Swinging 
Aardvark!  Any suggestions?  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before I leave the fine 
city of NORTH FORK.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your scrapbooks, 
you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens
