REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Fights again, you guys are always fighting. Don't you get tired of it? I know
the Unknown Spymaster doesn't--he did the notes this time--but he's weird.
Well, anyway, here's some stuff about the fights:
Whitebraid got the biggest point gain at thirty-six points, and Savory got the
biggest lost at thirty-one. Same fight, guess who won.
Street Walkers were most avoided, by Do It Again. It sounds odd, but there it
is.
Wild Thang! got the most challenges.
There were twenty fights--only twenty! We can do better than this. Three
standbys. Nine challenges, one tv and the rest radio.
Here are the details:
WOODEN ARROW (15-4619) (23-15-0,82) of GREENWARDENS fought ROSELLA (103-39) (26-
25-0,100) of the College of Mimes. WOODEN ARROW overpowered ROSELLA in a 1 minute
one-sided match. Well, this is probably good. Rosella gets paid whether she wins or
not, and we want to keep Wooden interested.
MOSSROCK (15-4871) (29-24-2,87) of GREENWARDENS fought LUCIFREYJA (103-40) (19-
21-1,90) of the College of Mimes. MOSSROCK was savagely defeated by LUCIFREYJA in a
4 minute brutal match. Looks like Mossrock is going to be washing dishes at the Red
Sands for a couple of weeks. Maybe that'll teach him to make bets before the fight!
Or maybe not.
REDTHORN (15-4943) (21-11-0,75) of GREENWARDENS fought ROSELLA (103-39) (26-25-
0,100) of the College of Mimes. REDTHORN was bested by ROSELLA in a 2 minute fight.
So this makes the standbys 2-1, and they're out of the way now. All the other fights
are between (technically) managed gladiators. Okay. I can work with that.
SAVORY (32-4143) (23-13-1,100) of DEAD WE SUCK fought WHITEBRAID (15-2110) (27-
44-1,58) of GREENWARDENS. SAVORY was overpowered by WHITEBRAID in a 1 minute
mismatched brawl. This was the big point-changing fight, and no wonder, when you
look at the starting ranks and who won.
SEKHAT (7-2251) (36-67-2,139) of CASTAWAYS fought STUMP (15-4882) (24-38-0,100)
of GREENWARDENS. SEKHAT vanquished STUMP in an action packed 1 minute gruesome
mismatched bout. I heard that Stump was threatening to send a vet around to declaw
Sekhat. Where are you going to find a vet who'd tackle that one?
FELICIA (29-1693) (23-14-3,118) of STREET WALKERS fought TREEFROG (15-4177) (21-
14-0,96) of GREENWARDENS. FELICIA overcame TREEFROG in a 2 minute fight. Didn't
these two just fight last time?
MACHINE (56-3795) (25-19-0,209) of DIRTIE fought THE QUICKLING (70-1669) (97-
228-3,190) of SCARLET KNIGHTS. MACHINE demolished THE QUICKLING in a crowd pleasing
1 minute one-sided brawl. Well, it was quick, which is something. And the crowd
liked it. That's a start. We need bigger crowds, though.
GAZELLE (56-3701) (79-95-0,195) of REDHORSE fought ALDALDON (56-3913) (33-27-
1,180) of PHILANTHROPISTS. GAZELLE overcame ALDALDON in an exciting 2 minute
contest. That is totally not surprising. Random matches are so, like, random! But
I bet Aldaldon will do better, because it wasn't a ONE-SIDED fight.
NIGHTCAP (74-2745) (179-127-0,253) of DARKLINGS fought KOOKABURRA (33-4151)
(117-160-4,205) of GIRL SCOUT COOKIES. NIGHTCAP overpowered KOOKABURRA in a crowd
pleasing 1 minute one-sided match. Fossils, both of them, and I don't see how that
could be one-sided. Cookies and milk, sounds like a good pair to me.
ALE'CHAI TALLSKY (35-4026) (37-9-0,241) of PHILANTHROPISTS fought CORT
NIGHTJEWEL (78-196) (134-151-0,197) of THE DRAGON FIST. ALE'CHAI TALLSKY overcame
CORT NIGHTJEWEL in a 2 minute bout. You know, Cort could do better. He used to do
better. He probably needs a new strategy or, you know, something really
albendranious.
The challenges:
BILBO BAGGINNI (9-5508) (21-5-0,147) of MIDDLE ITALY challenged JEO THE
SONGSMITH (1-3260) (49-112-0,129) of BLUE EYRIE. Down 18 (and a lot of fights up).
BILBO BAGGINNI vanquished JEO THE SONGSMITH in a 1 minute uneven Challenge fight. If
that's a duet, I don't want to hear another one. They weren't even singing the same
tune!
RAMPAGE (32-5076) (15-0-0,158) of ANGELS OF PAIN challenged MAD DOG MONTANA (29-
4984) (31-26-6,154) of STREET WALKERS. Down 4. RAMPAGE won victory over MAD DOG
MONTANA in an action packed 2 minute Challenge duel. Wow, undefeated--this Rampage
is dangerous! To your records, at least.
FLY SWATTER (20-2660) (37-16-1,178) of PHILANTHROPISTS challenged DIRTY SANCHEZ
(29-4802) (27-16-0,183) of STREET WALKERS. Up 5. FLY SWATTER was handily defeated
by DIRTY SANCHEZ in a 1 minute Challenge fight. Well, of course. I mean, is Dirty
Sanchez a fly? As if!
GIMME SOME SUGAR (19-4936) (37-27-0,192) of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged WILD
THANG! (29-2393) (29-24-0,197) of STREET WALKERS. Up 5. GIMME SOME SUGAR was
overpowered by WILD THANG! in a 1 minute Challenge struggle. This was Wild Thang the
most challenged. Is it good to get your challenge through, or do you wish you
hadn't, Gimme?
DRIZZT (40-4146) (38-45-0,208) of PHILANTHROPISTS challenged SISSY CHRISSY (29-
1347) (42-35-3,209) of STREET WALKERS. Up 1. DRIZZT bested SISSY CHRISSY in an
action packed 1 minute Challenge brawl. It was, like, a good match. At least,
that's what they told me. It sounds to ME like, you know, do-goodery.
BIONIC BUFFALO (11-6570) (53-53-0,188) of DO IT AGAIN challenged GOLDIE (29-
4805) (28-14-5,191) of STREET WALKERS. Up 3. BIONIC BUFFALO devastated GOLDIE in an
exciting 1 minute one-sided Challenge fight. It's that bionic stuff. Tricky.
JADRA (61-3379) (34-23-1,200) of PHILANTHROPISTS challenged HIMEY THE PIMP (29-
730) (55-40-1,201) of STREET WALKERS. Up 1. JADRA was narrowly defeated by HIMEY
THE PIMP in a 5 minute Challenge duel. Five minutes? It took Himey FIVE minutes to
win? What is he, lazy?
DEFIANCE (32-4619) (57-20-1,210) of ANGELS OF PAIN challenged SMUG BUG (55-2900)
(99-175-0,211) of RHYME TYME. Up 1. DEFIANCE demolished SMUG BUG in a 2 minute one-
sided Challenge melee. Good. Squash that Bug.
And here's our tv challenge, with congratulations to Nyzeil who has it and uses it:
NYZEIL OGLATA (17-6753) (36-29-1,173) of PHILANTHROPISTS TV challenged
BRICKHOUSE (29-4131) (44-19-0,190) of STREET WALKERS. Up 17. NYZEIL OGLATA
devastated BRICKHOUSE in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight. This was good.
Well, not good for Brickhouse, though she might have learned a lot, I can't tell.
Still, good. We need more active tv challenges to keep us from looking like, you
know, hicks.
For the title:
DREAD (32-4666) (40-22-0,256) of ANGELS OF PAIN fought SUPERIOR FORCES (33-4543)
(138-184-3,227) of DUPLICATE REDUNDANCY. DREAD lost to SUPERIOR FORCES in a popular
3 minute brutal Title fight. A random match, a random match, and now we'll have lots
of repeats. Lots of repeats. Of something, anyway. Take the title back, Dread!

POSTED: Arena recruitment effort, DM 32, Arvat -- seeing as our arena Participation
has dwindled in recent months, we're offering the following incentive to any new
teams looking for a new home arena. We will GIVE a Free Rollup to any manager
willing to agree to fight in Arvat for the next 10 turns. We have a number of VERY
solid arena teams stockpiled, and while we don't promise tournament godlings, we are
certain we can come up with teams with 3, 4 or even 5 solid arena warriors to start
out with.
In addition we'll honor any no-challenge requests by relatively new managers to
help you get off on the right foot.
If interested, please contact the Devil Advocates via Diplo or contact
theDarkOne via IM on the www DOT reality DOT com site. We will even give a choice of
teams available if requested.

Anyone may participate; known alliances, new alliances, or temporary alliances
created solely to compete in the Turf War! To participate, each alliance must:
1. Announce the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork (DM 47)
newsletter.
2. Indicate in the newsletter which Captain/alliance you will join.
3. Announcements made on the D2 Forums or elsewhere will not be accepted.
Captains are responsible for:
1. Verifying/authorizing, in the North Fork newsletter those who wish to
participate under the banner of their alliance. (Lack of participant indication of
joining and/or lack of lack of Captain confirmation will delay a team's participation
in the Turf War.)
2. Distribution of prizes should their 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 their intent to compete with manager name, team name, and
alliance they will represent in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter. Announcement made
on the D2 Forums will not be accepted.
a. No scores will be tabulated until an RSI Gift Certificate is
received, and participant indication and captain confirmation are posted in the North
Fork newsletter. NO EXCEPTIONS.
b. Before a manager can compete, he/she must declare themselves in
the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter as stated above AND be verified in the newsletter
by the alliance Captain they will represent.
c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. No multiple teams or
aliases will be allowed. Violations will result in immediate 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).
d. 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, verification,
and Gift Certificate received.
e. No declarations or verifications will be accepted after Turn 5 of
the Turf War.
f. 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.)
Scoring will be as follows for Fights:
Win Loss Kill Die
Up Challenge +2 -2 +5 -5
Down Challenge 0 -2 0 -5
Match Up +1 -1 +1 -5
Bloodfeud Challenge (Up or Down) +2 -5 +5 -10
Champion ** x2 x2 x2 x2
Dark Arena* +10 -5 xx xx
Tournament Death*** -5
Halfway (6 round total) best alliance win/loss percentage ****
Final (12 round total) alliance w/l% percentage ****
*After 2nd win in DA, warrior scores no additional points for wins,
** A Champion's double score applies to his score only -- not to the opponent.
*** No warrior may be substituted without the proper use of the DA or arena death
or death in a tournament. There must be a maximum of five only on a team at any point
and time. (The penalty for such substitution is -10 points.) Points awarded for
tournament participation are 5 for any entrant, 15 for a TV and 25 for a TC. Death in
a tournament negates any tournament points gained and results in a-5 score.
***** Halfway points scored are 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 5, 5 (etc) for 1st, 2nd, 3rd
(etc). (to qualify for any of these points the alliance must have fought 75% of its
possible fights.) Final 12 Round points scored are 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5, 5, 5 (etc)
for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd (etc). (to qualify for any of these points the alliance must
have fought 75% of its possible fights.)
Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows:
Spy Report mention (team name only) +2
1. No matter how many mentions or stylemasters, an individual team can score
only +2 in each category per round
Style Master +2
1. No matter how many mentions or stylemasters, an individual team can score
only +2 in each category per round
Duelmaster +2
Champions:
1. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory.
2. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time.
3. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior in the arena, but
not the Dark Arena, may be replaced.
4. Champions must have fought at least one previous fight in the North Fork
(DM47 arena) to be able to be declared a champion.
Bloodfeuds:
1. Bloodfeuds will score points on all four (4) turns.
2. There is no limit to which warrior may bloodfeud or how often.
Tournament Considerations:
1. Tournament participation is ALLOWED and encouraged.
2. Tournament Victors won during the course of the contest will gain a one
(1) time bonus of 25 15 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) wins
such status.
3. Tournament Champions won during the course of the contest will gain a one
(1) time bonus of 50 25 points. This bonus will apply EACH time a warrior(s) win
such status.
4. Points awarded for tournament participation are 5 for any entrant, (15
total for a TV and 25 total for a TC.) However, death in a tournament will result in
a -5 score for that tournament. (If a warrior TV's and is subsequently killed in a
tournament the points scored are -5 for that tournament.)
5. Points for TVs and TCs and tournament deaths will be applied the Turn
after RSI posts tournament results in the North Fork (DM 47) newsletter (i.e., if the
results post on North Fork turn 275, points will be credited on North Fork turn 276
to the applicable teams).
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 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.
3. There will be a maximum of five (5) teams allowed per alliance for the
Turf War VII.
4. The Dark Arena may be used on the first turn only, of every warrior,
without penalty.
Prizes:
The Turf War is normally a "winner take all" contest. However, for TWVII, a prize
will be awarded each of the twelve turns to the individual team/manager that fights
five fights and has the best w/l record that turn. (Tiebreakers are in order - kills,
recognition points earned.) All prizes and 100% of the Gift Certificates will be
awarded to the Captain of the winning alliance at the end of the competition. It is
the responsibility of the Captain to distribute Gift Certificates. Moderators will
submit a list of each manager on the winning alliance to RSI at the completion of the
contest for the non-Certificate prizes.
All entry fees (rollup certs) are awarded to the winning alliance, except for
the twelve reserved for the individual winning manager each week.)
The following prizes have been secured from RSI:
1. Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena;
2. Renaming of all Dark Arena Monsters (two for each manager in the winning
alliance);
3. Known Favorites for one warrior on each team of the winning alliance
(warrior must be ranked Initiate or above, must be alive, and must have at least one
DM47 arena fight to receive this award).
4. +1 Skill bonus potion for each manager on the winning alliance. Bonus
potion must be applied to a living warrior from (DM 47)
5. +1 Skill bonus potion (one) for each and every individual manager who
fights in all 12 rounds AND 54 fights of the Turf War. Bonus potion must be applied
to a living warrior from (DM 47)
These RSI awards will be listed by the Moderator for claiming from RSI (Lee)
within 4 turns of the end of TW VI. 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 and Master Darque. 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 via diplo in DM 47. Managers with internet access may send a private message
to [The Consortium] or [Darque] on the Duel2 Forums. Lastly, you may also email
questions, comments, and scoring disputes to rebelnerfherder at yahoo dot com or
wfms101 at aol dot com.
Please note there have been rule changes from the last Turf War. Please read them
carefully!
This contest will begin in November 2010 following the Fall Mail In.
