DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well.
TMM, the win against the appropriately named Darwin -- after all, doesn't that have to
do with self selection -- was a pleasant surprise. I had planned to move on to other
things but, now that I think about it, let me continue. You're midget warriors are a
joke. Win or lose, it's always fun to see your stable show up to a Dayla Kiv party.
Who knew that like 43 midgets could climb out of the same horse and carriage? Anyway,
if Darwin (and Nicole and Richard from the tourney) are any indication, you need more
arena time and less party time. Just a friendly suggestion. Have a nice day.

SPY REPORT
So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. Say good-bye to A.W. OF GUMBALL, as they are
pushed from the coveted top team spot by the SPROUT OF MY WAY! stable. Coming up
with a solid 4-0-0 outing, SPROUT OF MY WAY! has advanced 3 places in the rankings.
Hey everybody, watch out for MIGUEL, who flew up 19 points in the rankings after
mashing RORNIS THE DARK like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. And falling like a
basher in the top ten was MARTIN DENNY, who dropped 5 points after a disappointing
(to say the least) bout with DARWIN. Going for the gusto and coming up with aught
but bloody knuckles was SAND DANCERS' JACK FARMER, who was turned away from the
Duelmastership by CHOPPED LIVER. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a
bigger halberd!
Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't
avoid A.W. OF GUMBALL, please raise you hand. Wow. Does DAYLA KIV really have that
many liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch SPROUT OF MY WAY!'s act in the
arena. Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from A.W. OF GUMBALL.
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally
in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in DAYLA KIV have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos),
oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

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.

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,
