Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and I'm going to give you a spy report!. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on. BASH BROS LIGHTS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is RUSSIAN BIRDS, who swept up 15 places in the ranks. Take a look at BASH BROS B-MOVIES' act, as they have a 2-0-0 week and gain 15 places in the team ranking. Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is MEAT YOUR MAKER, who swept up 13 places in the ranks. Take a look at ONE LETTER OFF's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 16 places in the team ranking. What goes up, must come down. Watch out DRAGONHEAD! FEAR FACTORY 28 may fall on you as it crushes past the teams below it to fall on the 25th spot. Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is SPORTS CRIP PLAYS, who swept up 14 places in the ranks. A seasoned team is steady in the lists. But to BASH BROS DISEASE, which fell to 30th, it's what you soak in before going to the Dark Arena. Suffering under a 0-1-0 record and dropping from 17th to 33rd place were the FEAR FACTORY 9. Keep trying! Advancing in the rankings was NL CENTRAL who went from last turn's 62-48-1, to this week's record of 65-48-2. Hey everybody, watch out for REPROBATE, who flew up 25 points in the rankings after mashing DIM like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. YOUR LAST NIGHT was defeated by CAN'T CLOSE MOUTH and drops 17 points. In front of all the crowds, PIRATE took the Duelmaster's crown for its own. I give the bum two weeks. 4 out of 5 gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location. Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid X-POSSE 3, please raise you hand. Wow. Does DRAGONHEAD really have that many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch RUSSIAN BIRDS' act in the arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from X-POSSE 3. Well just about everybody wants a piece of CHEATER, who was this week's most challenged warrior. Death is kind of like a new puppy: he's always around wanting to play. (Ha Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?). Big deal, so STEVE LAKE got mashed in the Dark Arena. With his face he was more at home with the trolls than with us. (Waka waka). STEVE LAKE says to his dog--'Who should I fight this week?'. Dog says 'MOUNTAIN TROLL'. So the guy dies. Moral? Put lying dogs to sleep. This week 22-7-1 LEON DURHAM was sent to the Dark Arena. I know a lot of fighters with similar records who might take notice of this. There's got to be more reason for the sending of LEON DURHAM to the Dark Arena than his record (22-7-1). Anybody got any ideas SUE'S BOYS? CUB defied all odds and slew MOUNTAIN TROLL in the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as MOUNTAIN TROLL's meat is notoriously tough. FULCRUM defied all odds and slew BLACK ORC in the Dark Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as BLACK ORC's meat is notoriously tough. Well, just when you thought it was safe to put a new warrior in the arena. No no! CHEATER, a mere boy, was slain by FLANKER this turn. It's not often when you see a 8-4-0 warrior like DIM kick the bucket. I wonder if BASH BROS LIGHTS will recover from the blow. Here's some advice: warriors with little wit and will may encounter problems on the trail to the Isle. Well, there's the manager of the DRAGONHEAD giving me the 'cut' sign (or is that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some tracks.

Announce in the newsletter which Captain/alliance your team is joining. 3. Announcements made on the D2 Forums or elsewhere will not be accepted. Captains are responsible for: 1. Announcing, in the North Fork newsletter, those who are a part of their alliance. Both Manager announcement and Captain announcement/confirmation are required. 2. Distribution of certs should your 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 an intent to compete with their manager name, team name, and alliance they will join in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter 3. Announcement made on the D2 Forums or Chatzy will not be accepted. No alliance 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. 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 three teams, this would mean the remaining alliance/alliance members 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.)Clarifying: All teams MUST show up in the NL just prior to the first TW turn to be allowed to score in the first TW round. Teams do not have to run that turn prior to TW-T1, but will have had to run shortly before to allow their warriors to be visible in the newsletter just prior to TW-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, and Gift Certificate received. No declarations or confirmations 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.) 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.) SCORING will be as follows: * Only top two base score teams score/count per round per alliance. * Top one base score team per alliance scores twice (double). * Lowest team base score per alliance gets a ?pass? and does not score. * Team is disqualified for round scoring if fighting less than 5 fights. (Exception:The turn after a Mailer or FTF where a death occurred to a TW team/manager, the manager may fight only four and be scored. If multiple deaths, then multiple ?non fight? exemptions occur for that turn after the tournament.) * If a team is disqualified from scoring, the remaining top one base score team scores double and the lowest team gets a ?pass? and does not score. * If two disqualified teams occur, the third team cannot score double and only scores single. BASE SCORING = W = +2 L = -1 K = +1 Death = 0 Those scores are the same for match ups, up or down challenges, NPC matches, or Dark Arena fights. With these exceptions: --- Each warrior is limited to two DA matches during the TW. A 3rd and subsequent DA fight during the TW shall be scored at -5 points (win or lose.) --- Alliance Match Up scored = 0 for each warrior. Kill point disallowed. --- Intra Alliance Challenge scored = -1 for each warrior; no kill points may score. (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 with no kill points awarded.) First 6 rounds scores 1x. End of round 6, top alliance adds 6 points. 2nd adds 4, 3rd adds 2, 4th adds 1. Rounds 7 thru 9 scores 2x. Final round 10 scores 3x. Tournament Considerations: 1. Tournament participation is allowed and ENCOURAGED as a great form of recognition for North Fork. 2. It is an opportunity to gain skills and preferred challenging within the Turf War. 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 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. 3. There will be a maximum of three (3) teams/managers allowed per alliance for the Turf War VII. The minimum is three (3). 4. The Dark Arena may be used without penalty.(Limit twice per warrior.) 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 near "winner takes all" contest. It is the responsibility of the Captain of the winning alliance to distribute Gift Certificates. Moderators will submit a list of each manager winner to RSI at the completion of the contest for the non-Certificate and RSI awarded prizes, to then be claimed by the manager from RSI Customer Service within 6 months. * Winning alliance gets 90% of the pooled certs. * Individual Team with most wins in 10 rounds gets 10% of the pooled certs. * RSI awards: (all must be applied to DM47 warriors, cannot create out-of-bounds warrior, and one max prize applied to any warrior ? all within 6 months)(one max prize means that if you win two prizes they cannot be applied to the same warrior.) * Winning alliance captain may choose two (each manager/team receives same prize as chosen by captain): - Limited Damage Bump (bump one level damage) (warrior must have fought in the TW) - Stat replace (remove 2 SZ, replace 2 to any other stat) (warrior must have fought in the TW) - Choice Replacement (Receive 5 replacements, choose 1, delete 4) - Replacement stat swap (Replace/flip any 2 stats on one replacement) * 2nd place alliance captain may choose one (each manager/team receives same prize as chosen by captain) - Favorite weapon (warrior must have fought in the TW) - Favorite rhythm (warrior must have participated in TW) - Free stat raise * Participation Award to all teams/managers who fight 46 min fights (of 50): 2 skills (to one warrior) These RSI awards will be listed by the Moderators within two weeks of round ten for individual claiming from RSI within 4 turns of the end of TWX. 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 mikey.alexander@hisstrengthandwork.com Addendum: Examples of scoring for clarification. Code = win-loss-kill-death (W = +2 L = -1 K = +1 Death = 0) Example #1: Team A goes 2-3-0-0 (points = +4-3+0-0 = +1) Team B goes 3-2-1-0 (points = +6-2+1-0 = +5) Team C goes 2-3-2-0 (points = +4-3+2-0 = +3) Team B top score, scores twice 2x+5 (+10) Team A lowest score, does not score and gets a pass. Team C, then, scores normal at (+3) Alliance Score = 10 + 3 = +13 Example #2: Team A goes 4-0-1-0 (points = +8-0+1-0 = +9) Team B goes 3-2-0-0 (points = +6-2+0-0 = +4) Team C goes 2-3-0-0 (points = +4-3+0-0 = +1) Team A is disqualified from scoring having not fought five fights. If a team is disqualified, then the top remaining team scores double while the lowest remaining score gets a ?pass?. Team B top remaining score, scores twice = 2 x +4 (+8) Team C lowest score, does not score and gets a pass. Alliance Score = 8 Example #3 Team A goes 4-1-1-0 (points +8-1+1+0 = +8) However, Team A fought the DA for the 3rd time = -5. Team A adjusted to (+8-1=1=0-5 = +3) Team B goes 1-4+0-0 (points +2-4+0-0 = -2) Team C goes 1-4+1-0 (points +2-4+1-0 = -1) Team A top score, scores twice 2x+3 (+6) Team B lowest score, does not score and gets a pass. Team C, then, scores normal at (-1) Alliance score = +6-1 = +5 Example #4 Team A goes 1-4-0-0 (points = +2-4+0-0 = -2) Team B goes 1-4-0-0 (points = +2-4+0-0 = -2) Team C goes 0-5-0-0 (points = +0-5+0-0 = -5) Team A or B is top score and scores twice 2x-2 = -4 Team C lowest score, does not score and gets a pass. Team B, then, scores normal at (-2) Alliance score = -4-2 = -6 Example #5 Team A goes 3-2-0 with a winning match-up with Team B alliance mate. Team B goes 2-3-1-0 with a winning and killing challenge to Team C alliance mate. Team B also lost the alliance match-up with Team A. Team C goes 1-4-0-1 having been killed in a challenge from alliance mate Team B Team A points normally = +6-2+0-0 = +4, but one win was an alliance match-up which scores as 0, hence score = +4-2+0-0 = +2 Team B points normally = +4-3+1-0 = +2, but one loss was an alliance match up which counts as 0, and one winning kill was an intra alliance challenge which the win counts as -1 and the kill is negated. Hence Team B score = +1-2+0-0 = -1 Team C points normally = +2-4+0-0 = -2; with one loss and kill coming from an intra alliance challenge, but the IAC (intra alliance challenge) scores (-1)the same as a loss and there are no points scored for being killed, the +2-4+0-0 = (-2) stands. Team A top score, scores twice 2x+2 (+4) Team C lowest score, does not score and gets a pass. Team B, then, scores normal at (-1) Alliance score = +4-1 = +3 Remember: (W = +2 L = -1 K = +1 Death = 0) It only gets complicated with intra alliance match-ups (IAMs) and intra alliance challenges.
