Did you know that the bus is only late when you are on a time schedule??? Funny how that works!!! SPY REPORT Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out DRAGONHEAD to see what's new. Too bad, BASH BROS SNOW, but BB INFOMERCIAL was just too good to be stopped. I couldn't believe it. Did ONE MAN BAND really go up by 11? If only those guys didn't have so may missing teeth... Gross! BASH BROS NEWS had like a really albendranius week! Those hunks got a 1-0-0 and wound up as 20th team! I don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or anything, but BASH BROS GAS really goofed with their 0-0-0. Cut this out and put it in your scrapbooks, BB INFOMERCIAL! 'Cause they got 3-0-0 and moved up to 1st! MVP award for CAO CAO? DYNASTY WARRIORS' proud of him after beating WHOLE and getting 23 points. Talk about yer big time losers! ROY ROGERS got smashed by DERAILED, and lost 18 points! What a putz! LATE fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title. No one said he was a genius... And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!) Oh well, welcome PIATARBAJO. Aren't ONE MAN BAND proud. (Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me! So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these really neat Spyreports can it? The warriors of NL CENTRAL must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something that I don't? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are BASH BROS COLLEGE? NL CENTRAL, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an invitation! Can MILK IS GOOD's WHOLE be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same? Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All DRAGONHEAD ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. It was kind of sad, seeing old THE CHROME HORSE stumbling around the arena, before PIATARBAJO finished him off. Oh well! I see THE CHROME HORSE got killed by PIATARBAJO of ONE MAN BAND. Now I want to see some serious Bloodfeud action out there! Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do? Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand wash. I gotta leave. DRAGONHEAD is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much! Its been really albendranius!

The Turf Wars are coming. The Turf Wars are coming. Come one; come all. Gather your alliance or collection of 2-4 teams and join in the competition. Hurry up! While Feb 2016 seems so far away, it is only six or so turns away, and it does take a while to make sure you have a team in DM47, communicate to find a group, send in certs, announce in writing in DM47, etc. etc. Teams of all levels and managers of all types, including newbies, find themselves competing quite well in this type of competition. Let's make the tenth anniversary (TWX) the biggest and best ever. This 10th competition will be hosted and moderated by the triumvirate of Assur, Master Darque and Oz The All-Wonderful. Anyone may participate: known alliances, new alliances, or temporary alliances created solely to compete in the Turf War! To participate, each alliance must: a. Announce the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter. b. Indicate in the newsletter which Captain/alliance you will join. c. Announcements made on the D2 Forums or elsewhere will not be accepted. Captains are responsible for: a. 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 participant's declaration. (Lack of participant indication of joining and/or subsequent lack of Captain confirmation will delay a team's participation in the Turf War.) b. Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War. c. 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: a. 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.) b. 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 or Chatzy will not be accepted. 1. No scores will be tabulated until two RSI Gift Certificates are received, and participant indication and captain confirmation are posted in the North Fork newsletter. NO EXCEPTIONS. 2. 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. 3. 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). 4. 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. 5. No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 3 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.) Scoring will be as follows for Fights: Team Points: a. Fights made: (includes DA fights) 1 = 0 points, 2 = 0 points, 3 = 1 point, 4 = 3 points, 5 = 5 points b. Wins earned: 1 = 1 point, 2 = 3 points, 3 = 6 points, 4 = 10 points, 5 = 15 points c. Champion win = 3 additional points d. Down Challenge = (-5) points each (DM is exempt from DC rule) e. Team with most wins per round earns 4 additional points (If ties, no points awarded) Alliance Points (Rounds 1 through 5): a. Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made) All (each) team of the alliance fights 1 to 3 warriors = 3 points All (each) team fights 4+ warriors = 6 points All (each) team fights all five warriors = 9 b. Alliance with most wins per that round = 5 points (If tied, no points awarded.) Alliance Points (Rounds 6 through 10 as alliance point scoring doubles): c. Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made) All (each) team of the alliance fights 1 to 3 warriors = 6 points All (each) team fights 4+ warriors = 12 points All (each) team fights all five warriors = 18 d. Alliance with most wins per that round = 10 points e. (If tied, no points awarded.) Champions: a. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory. It is to the team's/alliance's advantage that you do so. b. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time. c. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior or the Dark Arena, may be replaced. d. Champions must have fought at least one previous fight in the North Fork (DM47 arena) to be able to be declared a champion. e. A Champion can be declared on any round and point factors will begin that same turn. (Must meet above 4 conditions prior to declaring.) f. Challenges to or by Champions against members of the same alliance shall be scored as a loss for each warrior. No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death or death in a tournament or graduation. A maximum of five warriors may be on a team at any time. (The penalty for such substitution is -10 points.) It is not in the spirit of competition to challenge fellow members of the same alliance. Hence, challenges as such will be scored as losses for both warriors. Downchallenges: a. A downchallenge occurs when a warrior challenges a warrior with lesser recognition points. b. No challenge or bloodfeud by The Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge. c. No challenge of the Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge. d. Bloodfeuds against warriors with lesser recognition are deemed downchallenges. Tournament Considerations: a. Tournament participation is allowed and ENCOURAGED as a great form of recognition for North Fork. b. It is an opportunity to gain skills and preferred challenging within the Turf War.
