                   *TURF WAR 13 (TW13) RULES* (revision 9-7-22-WS)

                  Starting Jan, right after the FTF, T453 (10 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.  Indicate in the newsletter or on the RSI site your three team alliance. 
    (You must state your alliance name, 3 team names, and 3 manager names.)

2.  Request 3 gift certificates per manager from RSI as entry fee for TW13. 
    RSI will hold all certs and distribute as team rus to TW13 winners.  
    (**Change from past TWs)  DO NOT send, or have sent, certs to the Moderators.  
    Deadline: December 31, 2022.

3.  Teams and warriors must be listed in the DM452 NL in order to compete. 
    (This allows challenges on TW turn 1.)

Other rules and discussion.

1.  Only one (1) team per manager/player may be active in the arena.

2.  If at any time, the Moderators determine that any non-TW team, whether a 2nd team 
    or a non-TW manager's 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.

3.  As usual, any Turf War team must be shown/be posted in the DM47 Newsletter just 
    prior (T452) to the actual scoring/participation start on T453 (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). 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.  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.)

5.  Definitions:
    Team     = individual manager's stable
    Alliance = three teams united

6.  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.)

7.  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.

8.  Downchallenges:  
    A downchallenge = a warrior challenges a warrior with lesser recognition points.
    No challenge or bloodfeud by the Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.
    No challenge of the Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.
    Bloodfeuds against warriors with lesser recognition are deemed downchallenges.

9.  Tournament participation is allowed and encouraged as a great form of acclaim and 
    recognition for North Fork and is an opportunity for warriors to gain skills and 
    preferred challenging within the Turf War.

10. 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 B, you must end the Turf War with Team B.

11. The Dark Arena may be used at any time without penalty. However, only one win 
    against a D.A. Monster per each stable warrior shall count as a win. Additional 
    wins will count as a loss for that warrior.

12. It is highly recommended that managers direct RSI to place their team ON 
    TEAM MAINTENANCE for the TW13 duration so that your team will fight (and earn 
    points) even if your submitted new strategies are delayed or don't make it.

_____________________________________________________________________

SCORING will be as follows: 

Team Points
     a.  Fights made: (includes DA fights)
          1 = 0 points
          2 = 0 points
          3 = 1 point
          4 = 2 points
          5 = 5 points
     b.  Wins earned;
          0 = 0 points
          1 = 1 point
          2 = 2 points
          3 = 3 points
          4 = 5 points
          5 = 10 points
     c.  Down Challenge: 
          (-5) points each (DM is exempt from DC rule/penalty)
     d.  Team with most wins per round earns 3 additional points
          (If ties, no points awarded; no tiebreaker on wins)

Alliance Points (Rounds 1-4)
     a.  Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made)
     b.  Alliance fights 15 warriors = 3 points
     c.  Alliance with most wins per round = 3
          (If ties, no points awarded; no tiebreaker on wins)

Alliance Points (Rounds 5-8)
     a.  Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made)
     b.  Alliance fights 15 warriors = 3 points
     c.  Alliance with most wins per round = 7 points
          (If ties, no points awarded; no tiebreaker on wins)

Alliance Points (Rounds 9-10)
     a.  Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made)
     b.  Alliance fights 15 warriors = 6 points
     c.  Alliance with most wins per that round = 10 points
          (If ties, no points awarded; no tiebreaker on wins)

Team points (from 3 teams) + alliance points = Total Alliance Points.
The Alliance with the most points after turn 10 is THE WINNER!
________________________________________________________________________

PRIZES:
The Turf War is meant to be a near "winner takes all" contest. Moderators will submit 
a list of each prize won (by manager) at the completion of the contest. RSI awarded 
prizes must then be claimed by the manager from RSI Customer Service within 4 months. 
The team rollups won will be distributed by RSI to the winners shortly after receipt 
of the prize list from the moderators.

Entry Fee Awards:
     *** Winning alliance gets 80% of the pooled team rollups.
     *** 2nd place alliance gets 10% of the pooled team rollups.
     *** Individual Team with most wins in 10 rounds gets 10% of the pooled team 
         rollups

RSI awards: Prizes may only be applied to DM47 warriors who participated in TW13. 
No prize may create an out-of-bounds warrior. Only one max prize may be applied per 
warrior, so if you win two prizes they cannot be applied to the same warrior. 
Prizes must be used within 4 months of the end of TW13. 

Winning alliance: each manager/team receives:
     One Limited Damage Bump (bump one level damage)
     One Stat replace (remove 2 SZ, replace 2 to any single other stat)

                             Notes from the arena champ.

Hard Up Priest -- I am glad I ree wrote the fight rules for you.  Now much eee see for 
your small brain to get.  You are well come.

Dense -- I do not think.  That is known.  But too I do not think Eel I has solved Pee 
Ells if last turn was true.  You wrong like all ways. Good thing Dense is one sound.

Weird Oh! -- You are sad sack of poo.  Fight down for kill, so brave. Wise man have 
quote for you:  If at first you do not suck seed, keep suck til you do suck seed. One 
win nine loss you suck hard but not well.

Eel I -- Pee Ell you have is sad.  She gasp in one round.  You go back to board to 
draw.  Lew sir!  We fight til her dead.

Say Lah Sah out, lew sirs.

                                      SPY REPORT

Welcome back!  Someone light a candle or burn some incense to mask the smell that 
keeps lingering in the arena. I think it hovers around the gladiator pit, but who 
knows at this point?  Phineas says it adds to the allure of the arena.  I say it acts 
as a lure for flies and gnats!  Eh, he's my boss, so I just smile, gag a little, and 
nod.  Speaking of an unbearable stench, let's see what happened on the sands today! 
Who nailed that segue?  I did!

Like the Spanish Inquisition, Sailasa took the throne completely by surprise the last 
cycle.  Blood feuding the Duelmaster from the Adepts level, Sailasa beat Laudin and 
became the new Champion of Shadowspire. It seems Sailasa is not finished exacting 
revenge again Laudin and made the same challenge again.  Yes, our title fight was a 
rematch from the last turn.  Did it turn out differently?  Well, no, but thanks for 
asking!  It makes me feel appreciated when I think you're paying attention!  Sailasa 
is still Duelmaster, and he will have a chance to defend (or feud) from the big, comfy 
chair again next turn.

Let me see . . . oh yeah, I forgot about BY THE NUMBERS!  Let's do that next.  As 
always, it is brought to you by our sponsor, Otto's Diner.

     Fights:          29 (trending DOWN)
     Dark Arena:       0 (Yes, ZERO)
     Bloodfeuds:       4 (3-1 for the avengers)
     Non-DA Deaths:    1 (but it was a doozy!)

     Most Avoided:     Kill 'Em All
     Avoiding Most:    Pray the Gods
     Most Challenged:  ZORRO (81-3706) 11-4-0 HEROES & VILLAINS (197)

     Largest Up-Challenge:  27 points - HAKEEM (81-2521) (17-22-3,87) of NBA LEGENDS 
     challenged ZORRO (81-3706) (11-3-0,114) of HEROES & VILLAINS. HAKEEM bested ZORRO 
     in a crowd-pleasing 2-minute mismatched Challenge match.

     Largest Down Challenge:  3 points - BIG DOPE (81-3752) (2-3-1,32) of NAME TAGS 
     challenged SIR CHARLES (81-3733) (5-3-0,29) of NBA LEGENDS. BIG DOPE was beaten 
     by SIR CHARLES in a popular 4-minute Challenge melee.

In the "HOLY ARUAKI COW" portion this week we have the single arena death for today.  
Xiqueel challenged up 18 points to fight Broken Blade.  Not only was BB higher in 
recognition, but also higher in fight experience.  Seems like Xiqueel did not see that 
memo and executed Broken Blade.  It is hard to watch a veteran fall, even for a hard-
nosed reporter like myself.  Condolences to Boss Orc.  We will look to see the next 
turn if there is any retaliation from the Mirkwood Orcs.

Time for me to go, ya bums.  Okay, olfactory fatigue has set in and I can't smell the 
stench any longer.  I'm still leaving because I can still feel it, even though I can't 
smell it.  Y'all come back next time and see how all these fights shake out.  Is 
Sailasa going to bloodfeud again?  Probably!  I know I would do about anything to keep 
that sweet seat at the top of the arena.  Can you bums work up more kills next time?  
Doubtful, but I like to see each of you struggling to try!  See ya next time!

                                          -- Huard DePriest

Dense -- What was that chirping you were doing?  I couldn't hear it over the sound of 
my warrior taking the Duelmaster's throne on a 111 point up-challenge.  Once again it 
has been demonstrated without any room for doubt or confusion -- even for you -- that 
anything you can do, I can do better. -- Vlad

Broken -- Well $%^&! -- Uhkant the Perturbed

Crixx -- How rude! -- Ghost of Zagrid

Kaibosh -- Nice rating you have there. -- Slaine the Envious

Ellen Ripley -- Why you little witch! -- Ruinn the Hostile

Bertha -- Your name suits you. -- Fenrir the Amicable

All -- Zagrid 11(+1)-8(+1)-13-15-15-9-15 PS, since he died here at the Spire he will 
remain dead forever. He was a frustrating warrior, learning 25 skills in first 12 
fights and then learning 32 in next 28. He passes having achieved ratings of Advance 
Expert in Attack, Decise, Defense and Parry. He will be missed. -- Visionist

Since we had a few too many volunteers, the Frost Giant mission is now closed.  Those 
who were not taken will be first considered in the next mission.  And thank you!  --
