Apis Fremo, his shadow pacing him on his right, limped steadily through the thigh-high grass. He looked up occasionally, but generally kept his gaze focused on the area immediately in front of him. His narrow face was haggard; his breath was steady but slightly labored. Consector and Protomorphus walked in single file behind Apis, who towered over them. They were spread out by roughly three meters, and they all walked at the same slow, relentless pace. Their eyes roved restlessly left and right, watching the grass intently for any tell-tale of danger. Plumbeus lumbered to their left. His elongated and distorted shadow fell across the trampled grasses behind them. Unlike his companions, Plumbeus didn't appear fatigued or nervous. He strode forward heavily, but easily. His muscles rippled rhythmically as he walked with his battle axe hung across his broad shoulders, his hands draped over either side of its handle. He contemplated the horizon and whistled softly to himself. Suddenly the tall grass gave way to a small oval-shaped clearing, roughly 15 meters across at its widest point, and 10 meters across at its narrowest. The grass had been pushed down and trampled heavily. Deep gashes in the ground gave evidence of a mighty struggle. There were no carcasses, no definite tracks, and no spoor to tell more of the tale. Apis limped to a stop and breathed a deep sigh, shifting his weight to favor his left leg. Consector walked up and stood at his left side, Protomorphus stood at his right. They stayed just within the edge of the trampled oval and scanned the area carefully. Meanwhile, Plumbeous tromped over to stand at Consector's left and looked up at Apis, puzzled. "Wha's the matter? Leg still hurtin'?" Apis looked down and squinted fiercely into the slanting sunlight. "Just keep the hell away from me!" Apis barked. Plumbeus looked at Consector apologetically. Consector shook his head and offered a lop-sided grin before turning to face Apis. "This doesn't make sense to me," Consector gestured around the oval. "Nor me," volunteered Protomorphus. "Where are the beasts that did this?" "Or the beast that carried them off," winced Apis as he slowly lowered himself on one knee. "These aren't tracks that I recognize." He placed his large hand over a blurred, circular gouge in the ground, but he barely covered half. "But whatever it was, it was huge!" "There might be more of 'em around, don't you think?" Protomorphus asked nervously. "We should get going. We can't be far away by now!" "We're not," grunted Apis, grimacing as he stood again. "You want me to take point?" Consector asked as he began to move forward. Apis grabbed his arm and ignored Consector's startled grab for his sword. Shaking his head, Apis frowned and pointed in a slightly different direction. All of them swung their heads to peer after Apis's finger. "Hey! I see flags wavin'!!" blared Plumbeus. "We must be near Shadowspire!" "You think??!!" Apis snorted in disgust and hitched his wide swordbelt with his thumbs. "I TOLD you guys I knew where it was!" "Yeah, yeah, you told us," Protomorphus acknowledged, "You just forgot to tell us it would take so long to get back!" Plumbeus boomed a laugh that startled his companions and seemed to push against the grass itself. Apis clenched his teeth and, again, looked down narrowly at Plumbeus. Consector smiled. "What's important," chuckled Consector, "is that we made it back in one piece." "We're not back yet," protested Protomorphus. "Besides..." He gestured at Apis with a quick shrug. Out of the corner of his eye, Apis caught the movement and grimaced. "I guess getting hurt by your own team mate doesn't count, huh?" Apis growled. "Hey, that python was pretty damned big!" Protomorphus chortled. "You should be glad that Plumby was around to bash its head in!" "If all he hit was the stupid python, I'd have been VERY happy!" shouted Apis Fremo. Consector and Protomorphus grabbed each other by the shoulders and arms, hooting and giggling like schoolboys. Plumbeus looked at them and smiled benevolently. Apis turned his back on them all and squinted determinedly at the horizon. "Seriously though," panted Consector after a couple of minutes, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand, "that thing had scales like I've never seen before." "Yeah," rumbled Protomorphus as he fought back another laugh. "Our blades didn't even scratch that thing!" "Whatever!" snapped Apis with a wave of his hand. "The important thing is we're back. Tonight I can get a hot bath and start healing up." "Yes," nodded Consector, "and just in time, too. Our next match is in three days." "Really?" muttered Protomorphus. A surprised, uncomfortable look quickly settled across his wide face. "I still haven't had time to practice with that new weapon I was assigned." "It sucks to be you," snickered Apis with a satisfied glare. "Don't forget though," cautioned Consector, "Havoc warned us what will happen if we don't all do our best. We need to come up with at least three wins this next round." "#$%#@$ HIM!!" screeched Apis. His hand clenched the pommel of his sword tightly. "He stranded us and left us to die in the middle of nowhere!!" "I think he called it 'an advanced form of training', or something like that," grumbled Protomorphus. "But you're right: #$%#@$ HIM!" Consector caught Apis's eye and nodded emphatically. "Anyway," continued Consector, "did anyone meet the new recruit before we left? A short guy, I think." "A short girl," replied Protomorphus, shading his eyes with his hand. "But not too bright, I think." "Why do you say that?" asked Consector suspiciously. "She looked too damn happy to suit me!" declared Apis. "Everybody's too happy to suit you," shot back Protomorphus. Plumbeus bellowed out a booming laugh, but Consector muffled his. "Yeah, she DID look like she didn't have a care in the world," Consector nodded with a smile. "I gotta wonder if she knows what's she's in for." A sudden, mournful growl gurgled from Plumbeus. He stopped laughing and placed his hand on his stomach. The screechy, liquid growl repeated itself. "Well, are we goin' to go back to Shadowspire?!" roared Plumbeus. "I'm getting' awful hungry." The other three gladiators looked at each other and exchanged sharp glances. "Okay, Plumby," Protomorphus agreed with a wave of his arm, "but you lead this time." "Let's go then," replied Plumbeus, moving decisively across the oval clearing. He paused a moment at its far edge, then strode forward resolutely, trampling the golden grasses in a wide swath. "HEY HEY HEY!!" yelled Apis. Plumbeus stopped and looked back quizzically. "THAT way, you idiot!" Apis pointed; Plumbeus smiled sheepishly and began tramping in the correct direction. "'Python' my ass!" grumbled Apis as he followed the wide trail Plumbeus was creating. "I know you hit me on purpose, you freak!" Giggling and stumbling after them, Consector and Protomorphus made their unsteady way in the rear. DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. Greetings Shadowspire! Well, it has been awhile since we have had a Warmaster on the throne here in this fine arena. I am very proud to be the gladiator to break that drought and even more excited to have received my graduation notice on the same turn. I feel this is quite an accomplishment in this extremely competitive arena. Gracchus was probably the most talented warrior to rise thru the Warmaster ranks, and even he was unable to sit on the throne for a single turn before graduation. Year of the Cat is an extremely fine warrior and fierce competitor who was unlucky enough to get matched up with a warrior with my fighting style. I tip my hat to him for his efforts. Well, since I am on top, I have nobody ahead of me to challenge. That being said, both of my challenges this turn were obviously down challenges. My first went out to Serafin Gawain. This was due to an obvious style match up in my favor. Vanek also seemed to push this challenge as it seems he and Bill the Bard of the Red Blades seem to have some rivalry thing going on right now. I don't bother with arena politics, I merely go out to try and win every fight. Beating a rival on the way out the door would be a little sweeter though. My second challenge almost went out against Duchess of Erat due to style match up again. In the end though, Vanek decided to issue the second challenge against Book Mark due to a decisive victory on my part against him recently in a bloodfued. Vanek also mentioned that if I were to lose, seeing a member of the ever worthy Capital Cartel succeed us wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen. I'd like to take one last moment to also tip my hat to my teammate, Gregorr. He was able to grab the Popularity Leader again this turn. If our turn had been processed the previous turn like it was supposed to, that would have made an 8 turn streak for Gregorr! Like so many warriors here in Shadowspire, he was very deserving of holding the throne, but never got that opportunity and I am honored to have him graduate with me. Farewell Shadowspire, I shall miss thee. And as always, Life and luck to all your warriors unless you're facing a Warmaster! Lord Protector Titus SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of SHADOWSPIRE! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with CAPITAL CARTEL's team record! A 4-1-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 4th place ranking. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of JUNGLELAND. How else weeks like this one's 3-2-0? How else the sudden move to 6th team? My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall. This week THE RED BLADES went 2-3-0 and fell 11 notches into 17th! Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which WARMASTERS managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! BUGS caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested INVISINOBLE and was awarded 19 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, VACA put down A.E. HOUSMAN, causing him to lose 15 points of recognition in the process. Who here was not present for the title fight this week as SERAFIN GAWAIN boldly challenged TITUS in order to strive for the Duelmasters honors? Not for nothing has TITUS in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week he's proven his combat skill yet again. Would you believe that over half of the old women in SHADOWSPIRE seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? Many and various are the arts of battle. In SHADOWSPIRE "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. OF WOLF AND MAN is feared. This much I can say. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of RODENT CLAN last week. Busy avoiding OF WOLF AND MAN? Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after CYRIL WYRMSLAYER. Watch your back! At the gambling halls I have started to bet money on ONYB ENGLVAR. He has got the courage it takes. Witness his challenge this turn against HUMMINGBIRD! In the end ONYB ENGLVAR was beat by HUMMINGBIRD, a "sharp" reminder that higher recognition is an indication of greater skill. Still, it was a worthy bout! Give CTUCHIK credit for his courage. Did you note how he challenged PHILIP K. DICK despite the 26 point difference in their rankings? To be sure the battle was a losing one. But I like to think CTUCHIK at least gave PHILIP K. DICK a run for his money. SHAVIOLA must really be harboring a grudge against the ARCHAIC CHAOS guild! Merciless, 22 challenged down APIS FREMO points this week to duel with she. Few would not have guessed the outcome of the bout as APIS FREMO was subdued by SHAVIOLA. Is this what passes for courage in SHADOWSPIRE? Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand ready at your right hand forever! WILD BORD has sworn to take up religion upon living to tell of its recent bout with the Dark Arena horrors. A rare thing indeed! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this! The girls are as pretty in SHADOWSPIRE as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HUMMINGBIRD 1213 15 4 0 128 SUMMERBORN (104) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HUGH CAPET 690 19 22 3 124 DARQUE AGES (29) PHILIP K.

I did learn a lot from him and he didn't learn much from me. Not that something that scared and slow can learn much... -- Serah Liam O'superior -- Unless you want to enroll in Zamzalin's School of Getting Wooped, I'd stop challenging me. Really, punching bags that can't fight back are for practice. Maybe if you at least tried to swing? Maybe? Because any child can flail around like you did in between my hits. -- Rena Superior Bane -- As if dealing with the other punching bags wasn't enough... here is another one... -- Rena Rena -- At least this punching bag flailed a couple times and caught me off guard ONCE!! -- Felix Koutetsu Vsagi -- If this is how Fuzzy Bunnies fight, I'll watch my back more. Good fight. -- Zamzalin Hugh Capet -- What was it? You didn't like my color? You didn't like something warm and fuzzy wrapped around your head? Killer! Killer, killer, killer! I will have you barred at all head band clinics worldwide. So, there! Head bands come in various sizes and I was: 17-14-5-17-9-11-11 +3 Init BA Good damage, normal Endurance Learned at a mediocre 1.50 skill rate. Faves: Thanks to you, you lout, who knows? -- Head Band, Capital Cartel (Or at least he WAS Capital Cartel) All -- please bear with us a moment of silence as we pray really hard for Head Band. -- A Pious Agent (Who is silently really praying for a super recruit rollup.) Atilla Keenblade -- Thank you for the challenge. You will need more practice, however, before we allow you out of the batting cage. -- Low And Away, Capital Cartel Azaghal -- Well, well, well. What have we here. You challenge the bookish Book Mark for an easy win and hubba, hubba, hubba. Great story! -- Book Mark, Capital Cartel A.E. Housman -- What a great challenge. Well done. Now you have me really limping! -- Limp In, Capital Cartel Shaviola -- Did your manager make you challenge me? Of course I lost. Please tell him that I hope his driver head falls off and his putter gets bent. Hah! -- Pronate Titus, Duelmaster of Shadowspire -- All us Cartelians salute you. -- Agent and The Capital Cartel Rodent Clan? 62 points? We knew something smelled in this city. -- Agent and The Capital Cartel (Congratulating them, but really plotting for their extinction.) Nice DM Column, great Spotlight. Another reason why Shadowspire is the place to be. -- Agent of Capital Cartel Whoops, almost forgot. Congratulations to the three new Lord protectors... Gregorr, Titus, and our own Low And Away. -- Agent and The Capital Cartel From The Capital Cartel Clarion... Low And Away, a +4 Defense Total Parry 12(+2)-19(+2)-13-9(+1)-21(+2)-4(+1)-15(+1) Born Good Damage, Great Endurance 22-4-0 in arena; did not lose a single tournament fight AdeX Parry, Expert Defense Skill learn rate -- an amazing 2.77 Emperor Kush -- That was quite good. I am impressed with your competitive spirit. It seems despite my style I can't make it through without taking one good hit first. -- DDT Virginia Woolf -- Are you kidding around? I've seen independent farmers fight with more efficacy. Who's afraid? You should be. The illusions in this incarnation most certainly are your own. Perhaps it is time to take that long walk to the river. At the least just try to stay in your own room for a while. -- Justice Thomas Mice and Dice -- You strikers and bashers are all the same. You walk up to me. You hit me. You watch me fall. You go home with recognition points and a win. Yadayada. Blahblahblah. -- Life Patent Cyril -- We had an interesting beginning at least. -- Notaxestexas Chuck the Hammer -- Well, I guess if you were a tee-ball fan you aren't now. LOL. -- Invisinoble Well, well, well... congrats to Titus, but Year of the Cat had a very typical last turn, smashed by a Striker.... -- Le Pentarque YofTCat, the Punching Ball, is thankful for the nice congrats though! I received three challenges from Strikers this turn, so I guess I have to hit back a little now. Time to do something! -- LP Limp In -- Who could've predicted that little beef jerky skullcap I threw on as an afterthought would save the fight for me? In recognition of and respect for your more accomplished teammate I send my latest screed toward, perhaps, the best W/L record in Shadowspire history. Low and Away-- Higgeldy Piggeldy Aspiring plutocrat Fought with the nom de plume Low and Away. "Might as well stretch the law, Lie and cheat wins the bout, How passe's honesty? Winners have sway." --A.E. Housman All hail Titus! Duelmaster of Shadowspire! Congrats also go out to the 3 graduates. 2 Warmasters and a Consortiumite. Well done! -- Nomad and the Guild The Rats are back! The rats are back! That just doesn't sound as good as it really is. Low and Away -- I have been trying for the matchup for a long time and when I finally get it, I blow it. I really would love another shot at it, but alas I am off to the Isle (and so are you - congrats!) where I shall retire with my lunging maul. -- Attila Keenmaul Bookmark -- Sometimes you have to take risks and see what will happen. In this case, bad things happened. -- Azaghal NoTaxestexas -- See, this here ain't texas, son. In Shadowspire we do what is right. And if some young whippersnapper comes along and tries to get away without doin' what's fair, we'll whip y'all back into shape. Consider this a lesson taken out o' y'hide. -- Cyril Smacky -- I do like a man with a strong hand. However, you have to know how to aim to really get it done. -- Justice Thomas Rodent Clan -- We are very glad to see you have returned! Congrats on a very fine 1st turn back! -- Vanek, Manager of Warmasters Xorn -- I asked for it and I got it. Hope it was as exciting for you as it was for me. -- Outlaw Pete Nyderawyn -- My oh my! That's my third win in a row. Somebody pinch me. Then again, they have all been against your style so the accomplishment is not as big as it first sounds. Now, what am I gonna do with those learns? -- Rosalita Kiss my grits -- Argh! That was my fight! -- Bobby Jean Jager von Drachen -- The style matchup was simply in my favor. -- Magic Rat P.S. By the way, what's with the name? Hunter from Dragon? Pizzarrhea -- It looks like you're in it for the runs. -- Madam Marie August -- Thanks for the skills and the PP, Ben was most happy. -- Duchess of Erat P.S. I don't really care if Ben was happy or not but I sure was, see ya tonight, big guy. ;) Average Joe -- Your leg looked like it was turning into some sort of demon possesed thing or some such so I tried to cut it off... to protect you, of course... I wasn't scared or nothing you know... really, I wasn't... -- Ctuchik-en Naryak -- Yeah, you see it look like much different in my head than it actually did. -- Scrawnie Ronnie Pit Fiend -- Give me a Y... "Y", give me an O... "O", give me a U... "U", who do we hate... "YOU YOU YOU". I hope my next fight goes more Cheerfully than that first one did. -- Ima Cheerleader Lord Protector Duelmaster Titus -- Congrats of the throne and the invite! We hope to see you in future. -- Unholy Knights Serafin Gawain -- Your seating in a very pretty spot aren't ya gus. Good luck in making good use of it but if you don't I hope that my challenges give me a good shot at the throne. -- Duchess of Erat and Ctuchik Lord Protectors Gregorr and Low and Away -- Goddess speed and good fighting in ADM if you so choose to do so. -- Unholy Knights Serafin Gawain and Hummingbird -- We want those top style spots so prepare thy selves for a thrashing by someone we don't know who just yet but be prepared because it will be coming in the near future... for the both of you. -- Duchess of Erat and Ctuchik Midnight Sun -- I am not sure what I am most impressed with, your ability to take a hard hit, your ability to keep going or your ability to learn. Well fought, till we meet again! -- Fimnar Ligdish Bang -- Looks like you were stronger than me. -- Elthor A.E. Housman -- I sincerely hope your training help you in the future, except against me of course. -- Heinrik Pink Bunny -- A bunny here and a bunny there, there be bunnies everywhere! -- Naryak the Bunny Wrangler Mr Bunn -- One good attack, does not a match make. -- Jehgan Ettin -- I can't seem to get out of my own way. -- Fimnar Zevran -- Well fought speedy. -- Elthor Volax Steelborn -- Arrgghhh I was robbed! -- Heinrik Scrawnie Ronnie -- Cmon, did you really think you could beat me? -- Naryak Iglpigl -- It's always a good day when you beat a golem. -- Jehgan Congrats to Titus, Low and Away, Gregorr, Year of the Cat and Attila Keenblade on their recent invites. -- All of the Longbeard Clan PKD -- Thanks for the insight on some of the minutes I don't always see. -- Selena Darque Ages -- Tough break losing Averroes. -- Serafin Gregorr -- Looks like Mr Popular has some anger management issues. -- K.C. Chop Suey -- I guess Chow Mein is more my thing. -- S. Tor Midnight Sun -- Exciting fight. -- Regina Titus, Low And Away, Gregorr -- Congrats Lord Protectors. -- The Red Blades 19 June 2010 *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** ALLIANCES OF ALASTARI *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** COME ONE, COME ALL MEET NEW FRIENDS AND FORM NEW TEAMS WIN ROLLUP CERTS AND RSI SPONSORED PRIZES ************************************************************************************* THE TURF WAR IS HERE AGAIN!!!!! ************************************************************************************* *TURF WAR VII RULES* Starting Nov 2010 (12 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. Announce the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter. 2. Indicate in the newsletter which Captain/alliance you will join. 3. Announcements made on the D2 Forums or elsewhere will not be accepted. Captains are responsible for: 1. Verifying/authorizing, in the North Fork newsletter those who wish to participate under the banner of their alliance. (Lack of participant indication of joining and/or lack of lack of Captain confirmation will delay a team's participation in the Turf War.) 2. Distribution of prizes should their 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 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 will not be accepted. a. No scores will be tabulated until an RSI Gift Certificate is received, and participant indication and captain confirmation are posted in the North Fork newsletter. NO EXCEPTIONS. b. 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 newsletter by the alliance Captain they will represent. c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. No multiple teams or aliases will be allowed. Violations will result in immediate 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). d. 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. e. No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 5 of the Turf War. f. 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: Win Loss Kill Die Up Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5 Down Challenge 0 -2 0 -5 Match Up +1 -1 +1 -5 Bloodfeud Challenge (Up or Down) +2 -5 +5 -10 Champion ** x2 x2 x2 x2 Dark Arena* +10 -5 xx xx Tournament Death*** -5 Halfway (6 round total) best alliance win/loss percentage **** Final (12 round total) alliance w/l% percentage **** *After 2nd win in DA, warrior scores no additional points for wins, ** A Champion's double score applies to his score only -- not to the opponent. *** No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death or death in a tournament. There must be a maximum of five only on a team at any point and time. (The penalty for such substitution is -10 points.) Points awarded for tournament participation are 5 for any entrant, 15 for a TV and 25 for a TC. Death in a tournament negates any tournament points gained and results in a-5 score. ***** Halfway points scored are 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 5, 5 (etc) for 1st, 2nd, 3rd (etc). (to qualify for any of these points the alliance must have fought 75% of its possible fights.) Final 12 Round points scored are 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5, 5, 5 (etc) for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd (etc). (to qualify for any of these points the alliance must have fought 75% of its possible fights.) Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows: Spy Report mention (team name only) +2 1. No matter how many mentions or stylemasters, an individual team can score only +2 in each category per round Style Master +2 1. No matter how many mentions or stylemasters, an individual team can score only +2 in each category per round Duelmaster +2 Champions: 1. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory. 2. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time. 3. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior in the arena, but not the Dark Arena, may be replaced. 4. Champions must have fought at least one previous fight in the North Fork (DM47 arena) to be able to be declared a champion. Bloodfeuds: 1. Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns. 2. There is no limit to which warrior may bloodfeud or how often. Tournament Considerations: 1. Tournament participation is ALLOWED and encouraged. 2. Tournament Victors won during the course of the contest will gain a one (1) time bonus of 25 15 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) wins such status. 3. Tournament Champions won during the course of the contest will gain a one (1) time bonus of 50 25 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) win such status. 4. Points awarded for tournament participation are 5 for any entrant, (15 total for a TV and 25 total for a TC.) However, death in a tournament will result in a -5 score for that tournament. (If a warrior TV's and is subsequently killed in a tournament the points scored are -5 for that tournament.) 5. Points for TVs and TCs and tournament deaths will be applied the Turn after RSI posts tournament results in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter (i.e., if the results post on North Fork turn 275, points will be credited on North Fork turn 276 to the applicable teams). 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 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. 3. There will be a maximum of five (5) teams allowed per alliance for the Turf War VII. 4. The Dark Arena may be used on the first turn only, of every warrior, without penalty. Prizes: The Turf War is normally a "winner take all" contest. However, for TWVII, a prize will be awarded each of the twelve turns to the individual team/manager that fights five fights and has the best w/l record that turn. (Tiebreakers are in order - kills, recognition points earned.) All prizes and 100% of the Gift Certificates will be awarded to the Captain of the winning alliance at the end of the competition. It is the responsibility of the Captain to distribute Gift Certificates. Moderators will submit a list of each manager on the winning alliance to RSI at the completion of the contest for the non-Certificate prizes. All entry fees (rollup certs) are awarded to the winning alliance, except for the twelve reserved for the individual winning manager each week.) The following prizes have been secured from RSI: 1. Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena; 2. Renaming of all Dark Arena Monsters (two for each manager in the winning alliance); 3. Known Favorites for one warrior on each team of the winning alliance (warrior must be ranked Initiate or above, must be alive, and must have at least one DM47 arena fight to receive this award). 4. +1 Skill bonus potion for each manager on the winning alliance. Bonus potion must be applied to a living warrior from (DM 47) 5. +1 Skill bonus potion (one) for each and every individual manager who fights in all 12 rounds AND 54 fights of the Turf War. Bonus potion must be applied to a living warrior from (DM 47) These RSI awards will be listed by the Moderator for claiming from RSI (Lee) within 4 turns of the end of TW VI. 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 and Master Darque. 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 via diplo in DM 47. Managers with internet access may send a private message to [The Consortium] or [Darque] on the Duel2 Forums. Lastly, you may also email questions, comments, and scoring disputes to rebelnerfherder at yahoo dot com or wfms101 at aol dot com. Please note there have been rule changes from the last Turf War.
