SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of SHADOWSPIRE! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. There were bitter words at PRAY THE
GODS' guildhouse after a 2-3-0 showing this week which dropped the stable into 8th.
Dark Arena anyone? Warriors--remember that glory waits always around the corner!
Witness how this week INEBRIATION went 4-1-0 to move up 3 in the rankings. My praise
to KILL 'EM ALL for their 5-0-1 week this time out. Indeed, it was a skillfully
fought round deserving of notice! HOMINID caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial
commission as it skillfully bested POITIERS and was awarded 18 points in recognition.
In one of the week's more notable duels, GLORYHOUND put down NIGHT HAG, causing her
to lose 12 points of recognition in the process. Most watched of the fights this
week, the spotlight was on QUICK as he bore arms against the challenge of reigning
Duelmaster NO-TEETH KEITH. The city has turned out in honor of QUICK, for with his
arena victory he may now lay claim to the highest position in the city! Heed this!
A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall
perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city SHADOWSPIRE. SHADOWSPIRE, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names
of thy guilds is DARQUE AGES, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly
duels. If you didn't look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any
of WAR MACHINE last week. Busy avoiding DARQUE AGES? Mighty fighters cannot but
expect competition from those below. EVON take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in SHADOWSPIRE. For some warriors honor is not important--only empty
victory. See, gladiators, how PSYCHO STYX of KILL 'EM ALL challenged down 26 points
to ALISTAR. Few would not have guessed the outcome of the bout as ALISTAR was
overcame by PSYCHO STYX. Is this what passes for courage in SHADOWSPIRE?
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. Walk proud, warriors of WICKED MARTYRS!
By striking down CHILD SMASHER you have avenged the honor of your dead. Your virtue
is known to all in SHADOWSPIRE. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in SHADOWSPIRE. Nice atmosphere you have here! More than a sharp eye must I
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari
await me! Till we meet again, remember: a turtle walks slow, hides head in a shell,
and harms no one; a lion runs to slay its prey.-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

DESTINY (81-2703) WICKED MARTYRS (148)
TURF WAR XI EXTRAVAGANZA(TWIXIE)RULES (Rev 6-3-18)
(Estimated start T398, OCT 2018)
Bring acclaim and glory to the North Fork (DM47) arena.
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 must:
1. Announce as Captain of an alliance in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter. (List
teams and managers in the three-team alliance. (Also designate alliance name.)
2. 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.

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.

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. (IACs)
