                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings, warriors of DWES EG!  Once again I've been called out of retirement 
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting.  Woof!  DISPOSABLE HEROES 2 were a 
bunch of dogs after STRANGE MISSIONS got through with 'em!  3rd ain't so sweet as 
1st!  Who can explain it?  Not you, not me, not ANGRY CHICKEN's opponents, after 
watching them shoot up the ranks from 16th to 5th.  You know what they say about the 
herd of lions who studied a judge...  THE BLACK LEAGUE moved up 21 places, to 7th.  
Who can explain it?  Not you, not me, not BLUE TIME JEWELS' opponents, after watching 
them shoot up the ranks from 29th to 14th.  You know what they say about the herd of 
lions who studied a judge...  UTOPIA RELIGIOSO moved up 24 places, to 17th.  Who can 
explain it?  Not you, not me, not TITANIC RENDERS' opponents, after watching them 
shoot up the ranks from 45th to 21st.  You know what they say about the herd of lions 
who studied a judge...  IN THE CLOSET moved up 24 places, to 22nd.  DISPOSABLE HEROES 
bit the big one as they could not win.  They dropped from 5th down to 24th!  Are you 
guy giving lessons or what?  Who can explain it?  Not you, not me, not ROOKIE PINK 
21's opponents, after watching them shoot up the ranks from 51st to 34th.  You know 
what they say about the herd of lions who studied a judge...  FIRES OF HEAVEN 2 moved 
up 16 places, to 38th.  Looking for a good fight, confident, skilled, tough 
opponents.  Well don't look at ROOKIE MAIDEN 59, cause they dropped by 16.  Ever take 
one of those association tests?  You know, he says black, you say white.  Water-Lake, 
Sky-Blue. Try this:  Flop.  OBLIVION CLEAVERS!  TRIBE OF DAWN bit the big one as they 
could not win.  They dropped from 27th down to 43rd!  Are you guy giving lessons or 
what?  Looking for a good fight, confident, skilled, tough opponents.  Well don't 
look at ECCENTRIC DWARVES, cause they dropped by 15.  STRANGE MISSIONS showed DWES EG 
what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off with 3-1-0.  
What's with THE SENTINEL?  He actually beat TRIBE OF DAWN's BARABOR, and walked away 
with 18 more points from the fight.  Laughs were big at I LOATHE THEM while they 
watched THE SENTINEL clobber BARABOR.  He lost 16 points and got bruised from objects 
thrown from the stands.  CLOUDBURST was reminded on the sands why GNOME CATCHER is 
Duelmaster.  Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  The 
most avoided team was BLOODSWORDS.  Management must be dealin', as the boys at THE 
RULING CLASS ain't reelin'!  BLOODSWORDS' mad!  How well I know the feeling of being 
the most challenged warrior, SUNSTEEL!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to 
haunt you.   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  CAPTURED ORC of DWES EG got 0 points for removing 
another young punk.  Tough luck, CITY OF BONES!  Here's some advice:  study your 
opponent, master many skills, fight dirty.   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  Are 
you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?  Actually, I guess I'm writing it 
before you read it.  Oh, well.  I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

               *official TURF WAR 14 (TW14) RULES* (revision 9-6-24-WS)

         Starting Turn 480 (Feb 10, appx date), just after the FTF, 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 the three team alliance.
   (3 Team names, 3 manager names, and an alliance title)

2. Pay RSI or deduct from account ($15) per manager as entry fee indicating for TW14. 
   (a change from past TWs). RSI will hold as "certs" in a separate account for TW14 
   and distribute as Team RUs to winners of TW14. 
   DO NOT send, or have sent, certs to the Moderators. 
   Must be completed prior to Dec 31, 2024.

3. Teams and alliances will not start scoring until the turn after they appear in the 
   newsletter and are announced. This means that to start scoring on turn 1, the teams 
   must be listed in the newsletter on Turn 479.

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/demanded 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 to the actual scoring/participation start on T480 (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 
   could 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 teams' 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 5-Team 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 is defined as a warrior challenging 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 A, you must end the Turf War with Team A.

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 your team ON 
   MAINTENANCE for the TW14 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 for Fights:

Team Points

  a. Wins earned: 
          0 = -1 points
          1 = +1 point
          2 = +2 points
          3 = +4 points
          4 = +6 points
          5 = =8 points

  b. Down Challenge = (-10) points to the challenger and opponent is credited with a 
     win for point scoring. The DM is exempt from DC rule/penalty.

  c. Four teams will score. The lowest scoring team per round will count duplicate as 
     the 4th team.

  d. Team with most wins per round earns 3 additional points; if ties, no points 
     awarded; no tiebreaker on wins.

Alliance Points

  a. If the three-team alliance fights all 15 fights = 5 Points

     Team points (from 3 teams plus the duplicate) + alliance points = Total Alliance 
     Points(TAP) for the round.

Round Modifier:

  a. Round Modifiers (Multiplier times TAP(Total Alliance Points
     Rounds 1-4 = 1.0; rounds 5-8 = 2.0; rounds 9 and 10 = 3.0.

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 each 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 may only be applied to DM47 warriors who fought in TW14. These prizes 
cannot create an out-of-bounds warrior, and only one prize may be applied to any 
warrior, meaning that if you win two prizes they cannot be applied to the same 
warrior. All prizes must be used within 4 months. 

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) 
  ** One Favorite weapon knowledge 
  ** One +1 base skill potion.

2nd place: Each manager/team receives:

  ** One Favorite weapon knowledge 
  ** One free stat raise (not SZ)

Participation Award: 

  *** to all teams/managers who fight 45 to 47 fights (of 50) = 1 base skill potion
  *** if 48+ fights (of 50) = 2 base skill potions (each to a different warrior)

        ______________________________________________________________________

Moderators:

The Moderators for this event will be Oz, Master Darque, and Assur, the TW 
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 [Master Darque] or 
[Assur] on the Duel2 Forums. Lastly, you may also email questions, comments, and 
scoring disputes to jawastomp@gmail.com or wfms101@aol.com or assurnasir@yahoo.com.
