                   *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) 
     One Favorite weapon knowledge 

2nd place: each manager/team receives:
     One Favorite weapon knowledge 
     One free stat raise (not SZ)

                                      SPY REPORT

It's a beautiful day in Telorinthe!  A beautiful day in Telorinthe!  Let's hunt down 
some mimes! Hunt down some mimes!  Oh, you don't know that tune?  It is a good one!  
Maybe I will teach it to you later. Welcome back to Telorinthe!  It is always 
wonderful to see each of you, and we had an action-filled day on the sands!  Is that 
too many exclamatory statements?  NO!  I feel like I need to add a few more just to 
relay the intensity of today's games.  Let's take a look at what happened.

Our departing Duelmaster, Vampire on Fire, got an invitation and travel plans last 
turn from the Gladiatorial Commission.  On this final turn, he issued a challenge to 
Ember.  It only took 3 minutes for Vampire on Fire to vanquish Ember.  With VoF 
leaving, we need a new Duelmaster.  Our title fight came down to a battle between 
Halftime Show and Physicality.  It was a short one at only 1-minute, but we have a new 
Duelmaster in Halftime Show.  It is going to be short tenure as Halftime Show has 
received an invitation as well.

The most avoided team is Kame House.  They were mostly avoided by Conjure Up the Sun.  
Our most challenged warrior is Hiro.  He was bloodfeuded by the much more experienced 
Bud the Wiser.  All is fair in the vengeance game, or so I'm told.  I've never fought 
in the arena and sought to avenge a fallen comrade.  Beer Bellies are taking it 
seriously by sending Bud.  It was no surprise to anyone that Bud the Wiser beat Hiro 
in a quick, 1-minute fight.

Congrats to our departing Lord Protectors, Vampire on Fire and Tokugawa, and to our 
newest graduates, Halftime Show and Heat Wave!  I guess I better finish up this report 
and start prepping for the next cycle.  It is a lot of work getting all the scouting 
reports and talking to the gladiators.  The managers are another story, and they 
present a different layer of difficulty with the job.  Alright, I have to go, see you 
next turn!
