                                      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!.  Take a look at ARCANE VIBE's act, as they have 
a 3-1-0 week and gain 40 places in the team ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf 
of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is I'M A, who swept up 16 places in the 
ranks.  Take a look at GRATING TUNES' act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 14 
places in the team ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, 
I admit it's corny) is ROOKIE ARMADA 54, who swept up 17 places in the ranks.  Take a 
look at ROOKIE CULT 30's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 18 places in the 
team ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's 
corny) is IMMORTAL EMPIRE, who swept up 19 places in the ranks.  What goes up, must 
come down.  Watch out DWES EG!  ROOKIE PINK 5 may fall on you as it crushes past the 
teams below it to fall on the 15th spot.  A seasoned team is steady in the lists.  
But to ROOKIE PINK 14, which fell to 16th, it's what you soak in before going to the 
Dark Arena.  Take a look at STONED ROOKIES 11's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and 
gain 16 places in the team ranking.  Rising in the ranks like a loaf of armored bread 
(okay, I admit it's corny) is ROOKIE ARMADA 42, who swept up 14 places in the ranks.  
Take a look at ROOKIE ARMADA 25's act, as they have a 1-0-0 week and gain 13 places 
in the team ranking.  Suffering under a 0-1-0 record and dropping from 8th to 27th 
place were the CHOPPERS.  Keep trying!  A seasoned team is steady in the lists.  But 
to THE ORACLE, which fell to 28th, it's what you soak in before going to the Dark 
Arena.  What goes up, must come down.  Watch out DWES EG!  CRIMSON RAGE may fall on 
you as it crushes past the teams below it to fall on the 32nd spot.  Rising in the 
ranks like a loaf of armored bread (okay, I admit it's corny) is MEDAL OF HONOR F2, 
who swept up 15 places in the ranks.  Suffering under a 0-1-0 record and dropping 
from 19th to 38th place were the ROOKIE ARMADA 30.  Keep trying!  A seasoned team is 
steady in the lists.  But to WIND SHAKERS, which fell to 40th, it's what you soak in 
before going to the Dark Arena.  What goes up, must come down.  Watch out DWES EG!  
ROOKIE ARMADA 12 may fall on you as it crushes past the teams below it to fall on the 
41st spot.  And falling like a basher in the top ten was INKED KNIGHT, who dropped 19 
points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with LURK.  Unlike most arenas, 
ALTAN managed to get his challenge off against the 14-17-0 OFF MY CLOUD.  In front of 
all the crowds, OFF MY CLOUD took the Duelmaster's crown for his own.  I give the bum 
two weeks.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?   
     Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the DWES EG arena.  Here's a 
song for you:  Who's afraid of the big, bad MEDAL OF HONOR  39?  Big bad MEDAL OF 
HONOR 39.  Big bad MEDAL OF HONOR 39.  DWES EG's afraid of the big bad MEDAL OF HONOR 
39.  Tra la la la la!  For those of you who like math, try this one:  MEDAL OF HONOR 
39 + Weapons That go Boom = CRIMSON RAGE + Avoid City.  And who is this TOXIC you 
ask, with 63 points and a 9-5-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!  Well, it looks 
like QUICKS wasn't happy with last turn's rank, so he went for broke by challenging 
up 37 points.  No guts, no glory.  Trading many whacks on the head and a loss for 1 
recognition points, QUICKS shows that a guy doesn't have to be good to get places.  
BRAIN DAMAGE of ROOKIE PINK 64 had better have a good reason for challenging down 12 
points in a challenge which he killed.  I thought BRAIN DAMAGE showed great skill and 
promise when he put to death NOT PARTICIPATING.  All right, so I slept through it!  
Big deal!   
     Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the 
most interesting, though!  Carrion Bird Cinematic Humor:  NOT PARTICIPATING II:  THE 
REMATCH.  For those of you who missed it, Death showed up, grabbed GRIFTER by the ear 
and took him away to a place where he won't need a coat.  Carrion Bird Heaven:  
GRIFTER was dealt death by BUST (The true definition of 'Street Pizza').  Ask not the 
elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh?   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Hasta la bye-bye.  (Loud 
choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- 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.

These RSI awards will be listed by the Moderators within two weeks of round twelve for 
individual claiming from RSI within 4 turns of the end of TWXII. 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
