THE TURF WARS ARE COMING!
THE TURF WARS ARE COMING!
Gather your alliance-mates and friends. Prepare your warriors and teams. Turf
War NINE (TW9) is beginning the mid-Feb 2014 turn right after the winter Face in DM47
North Fork (currently MAMBOLAND).
Alliances -- 2 to 4 teams
Cost -- two Rollup CERTS
Prizes -- certs, potions, honor & glory
Length -- 10 turns
Moderators -- same old Oz and Master Darque
Rules, including details, are below.
.....................................................................................
*TURF WAR 9 RULES*
Starting Mid-Feb 2014 (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. 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. The confirmation/verification must
occur after, or in the same newsletter, but not before, the participant's
declaration. (Lack of participant indication of joining and/or subsequent 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 or Chatzy will not be accepted.
a. No scores will be tabulated until two RSI Gift Certificates are
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 same or
subsequent newsletter by the alliance Captain they will represent.
c. Only one (1) team per player may compete. 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).
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 3 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:
Team Points
a. Fights made: (includes DA fights)
1 = 0 points
2 = 0 points
3 = 1 point
4 = 3 points
5 = 5 points
b. Wins earned;
1 = 1 point
2 = 3 points
3 = 6 points
4 = 10 points
5 = 15 points
c. Champion win = 3 additional points
d. Down Challenge = (-5) points each (DM is exempt from DC rule)
e. Team with most wins per round earns 4 additional points
(If ties, points are split 2/2, 1/1/1, 1/1/1/1, no points if 5+ tie)
Alliance Points (Rounds 1 through 5)
a. Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made)
All (each) team of the alliance fights 1 to 3 wariors = 3 points
All (each) team fights 4+ warriors = 6 points
All (each) team fights all five warriors = 9
b. Alliance with most wins per that round = 5 points
Tie breakers, in order, are: least losses, most total recognition points (if still
tied after that, no points awarded).
Alliance Points (Rounds 6 through 10 as alliance point scoring doubles)
c. Fights made (DA fights count as a fight made)
All (each) team of the alliance fights 1 to 3 wariors = 6 points
All (each) team fights 4+ warriors = 12 points
All (each) team fights all five warriors = 18
d. Alliance with most wins per that round = 10 points
Tie breakers, in order, are: least losses, most total recognition points if still
tied after that, no points awarded).
Champions:
1. A Champion may be declared, but one is not mandatory.
It is to the team's/alliance's advantage that you do so.
2. Only one Champion allowed per manager at any given time.
3. Champions that graduate or are killed by another warrior or 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.
5. A Champion can be declared on any round and point factors will begin that
same turn. (Must meet above 4 conditions prior to declaring)
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.)
Downchallenges:
1. A downchallenge occurs when a warrior challenges a warrior with lesser
recognition points.
2. No challenge or bloodfeud by The Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.
3. No challenge of the Duelmaster shall be deemed a downchallenge.
4. Bloodfeuds against warriors with lesser recognition are deemed
downchallenges.
Tournament Considerations:
1. Tournament participation is allowed and ENCOURAGED as a great form of recognition for North Fork.
2. It is an opportunity to gain skills and preferred challenging within the Turf War.
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 four (4) teams/managers allowed per alliance for
the Turf War VII. The minimum is two (2).
4. The Dark Arena may be used at any time without penalty.
5. 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:
The Turf War is meant to be a "winner takes all" contest. All prizes, except the
Endu award listed below, 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.
The following prizes have been secured from RSI:
1. Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena;
2. Renaming of all Dark Arena Monsters
3. Known Favorites for one DM47 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 (three) for each manager on the winning alliance. Bonus
potions must be applied to living warriors from DM 47, no more than two skills per
warrior.
5. +1 Skill bonus potion (one) for each and every individual manager who fights
in all 10 rounds AND 45 fights of the Turf War. Bonus potion must be applied to a
living warrior from (DM 47) (Endu award)
6. Two additional rollup certs for each manager of the winning alliance from
RSI.
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 noting the following concepts/changes:
1. simpler scoring based primarily on wins and fight participation
2. DA is treated as simply another fight
3. Down-challenging is penalized
4. no emphasis/scoring on kills
5. 10 rounds
THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
Reflections by the Lord-Marshall
It has been so long since I had to write a DM column, I have no clue what to
say. Never thought I would even get my challenge through with the arena being as top
heavy as it is. Very close fight, Serge just about took me out while I was still
kind of taking in the moment, but I shook off his one shot and managed to gain the
momentum. Good fight Serge, you are a worthy opponent, sir.
I am Otis' first Lord Marshall/Duelmaster at the ADM level. He seemed to have
forgotten about most of us. Not sure what finally got him motivated to bring us out
of semi retirement, but I am glad it happened. It was getting very boring sitting
around, fighting being the only thing most of us are good at, couldn't see myself
getting out there and farming.
Next turn, my challenge goes out to Assorted, another warrior of my style, lots
of arena fights, but not too many. Hopefully he doesn't have a lot of tournament
experience. That could bite me in the butt. We shall see if I get to fight who I
choose as I know there are many gunning for me and the throne. I did not avoid
anyone, but I hope I do not have to fight any of you that have records that look like
team records. Move on to Primus already, sheesh.
Your Lord Marshall (For Now)
Willy Liv
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
I can't believe the violence in FREE BLADES! I still haven't told Mom I'm
writing Spyreports. She'd have a cow! (Actually, she has goats. Euwh.) Well, here
we go... MVP award for REPUGNANT? SONS OF SATAN's proud of it after beating DREHVIN
and getting 34 points. Talk about yer big time losers! TIA MATTE got smashed by
CROWN ROYAL, and lost 16 points! BILBO BAGGINNI thinks his 74-32-1 and studly
character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster. Any bets? And I was just
getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit of writing a column. Oh, well, welcome
BILBO BAGGINNI. Aren't MIDDLE ITALY proud. (Oh, my.) Who was the wiseguy that said
FREE BLADES' Lord Marshall was paying for drinks at The Cooler? Don't look at me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of DARKLINGS must be
getting lonely. (Don't ask me what this has to do with you guys sticking to
fighting. *I* don't know stuff like that. I mean, dots... if they wanted to be
connected, they would be, right?) They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know
something that I don't? I don't know what DEVIL ADVOCATES' been doing. They
certainly haven't been accepting many fights from DARKLINGS, that's fer sher. Can
UNDER DURESS' ARGUMENT be more popular than me? He was challenged the most, but is
that really the same? I hope not! Speaking of challenging 27 points above did you
hear about SERIAL MURDERER of THE MONGOLOIDS vs. DARKLINGS' SANDMAN? (And how was
that intro!) SANDMAN overcame SERIAL MURDERER, and was I surprised (right!). But
it's a good thing SANDMAN could stop laughing long enough to give SERIAL MURDERER a
good pounding. I'm not so sure ROOSTER knew all the facts when he challenged
MANIPULATOR of UNDER DURESS. I saw ROOSTER stumbling and dribbling at The Cooler
last week... What did ROOSTER expect, anyway! Of course MANIPULATOR won. Next time
stick to people you have a chance against, dummy! ABSOLUTION must not be a good
enough fighter to get in fair fights. He down-challenged S. MARY ROSE. Nine is a
big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought ABSOLUTION showed great
skill and promise when he beat S. MARY ROSE. All right, so I slept through it! Big
deal! I mean, I've seen a lot of fights, you know? And after a while, they totally
look a lot alike.
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys
can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous spy reporter? Well, sort of famous. I know how much you like reading this
stuff, but I really should stop. I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
We had twenty fights, ten challenges, that's a good balance, isn't it? And three
standbys.
WHIFF (3-7295) (16-6-1,55) of LEGIONS' OF HELL fought BITTER ALMOND (103-41)
(14-16-4,50) of the College of Mimes. WHIFF vanquished BITTER ALMOND in a 1 minute
one-sided match. Well, you know how it is, if you can't beat a standby, your fans
throw rotten tomatoes. Ripe tomatoes wouldn't be so bad, you could make a salad.
But rotten ones, there just isn't a thing you can do with them.
PAM DEMONIUM (32-5551) (24-12-1,130) of DEVIL ADVOCATES fought ROSELLA (103-39)
(26-25-0,100) of the College of Mimes. PAM DEMONIUM devastated ROSELLA in a 2 minute
one-sided bout. Right, see what I just said, you know?
REPUGNANT (97-3677) (35-24-4,176) of SONS OF SATAN fought DREHVIN (103-34) (75-
45-7,200) of the College of Mimes. REPUGNANT overpowered DREHVIN in a crowd pleasing
1 minute bloody one-sided match. And that is, like oh-and-three for the standbys.
Serves them right! They were getting rowdy in bars last night.
SLEEPWALKER (74-2843) (77-139-2,185) of DARKLINGS fought HEADLESS NORSEMAN (33-
7758) (28-18-0,180) of HALLOWIENERS. SLEEPWALKER was overpowered by HEADLESS
NORSEMAN in a 1 minute one-sided match. Well, of course. I mean, sleep is something
that starts in your head, right? And the Norseman doesn't have a head, so HE can't
sleep. So he fights. I mean, that's obvious.
TIA MATTE (32-5321) (40-24-0,195) of DEVIL ADVOCATES fought CROWN ROYAL (12-
5507) (13-3-3,176) of BLACKED OUT ON.... TIA MATTE was devastated by CROWN ROYAL in
a 2 minute one-sided brawl. Some people just shouldn't drink. But it would have
been better if Tia'd put an umbrella in it. That really helps.
COREY THE MOOSE (84-19615) (28-9-0,224) of DRAFT DODGERS fought SERGE (32-3549)
(60-81-0,199) of ASSORTED. COREY THE MOOSE was overcome by SERGE in a crowd pleasing
1 minute bout. Is Serge trying to get back up to the title? Don't ask me! People
never tell me things like that.
MARTIN BLANK (82-28434) (71-23-0,257) of BLOOD TITANS fought KOOKABURRA (33-
4151) (164-194-5,219) of GIRL SCOUT COOKIES. MARTIN BLANK slimly won victory over
KOOKABURRA in a crowd pleasing 5 minute bout. If you eat ENOUGH Girl Scout cookies,
you won't be slim for long.
NIGHTCAP (74-2745) (250-137-0,393) of DARKLINGS fought JERK O'LANTERN (33-7742)
(25-10-0,189) of HALLOWIENERS. NIGHTCAP handily defeated JERK O'LANTERN in a 1
minute one-sided conflict. Well, duh.
REM (74-2853) (130-82-0,221) of DARKLINGS fought SEGUE (13-5394) (35-18-0,183)
of THE DEVIL'S OWN. REM savagely defeated SEGUE in a crowd pleasing 2 minute gory
match. I heard Rem was, like, crossed in love, and it made her totally angry.
FLESH RIPPER (74-3375) (54-35-2,223) of LUROCIANS XI fought NOREASTER (35-3896)
(70-35-2,218) of DIRT DEVILS. FLESH RIPPER was demolished by NOREASTER in a 1 minute
mismatched competition. It was probably the snow that was worst. Early frost, you
know.
So, the challenges!
BACARDI LIMON (12-5509) (14-7-0,96) of BLACKED OUT ON... challenged SAVORY (32-
4143) (58-59-1,102) of DEAD WE SUCK. Up 6. BACARDI LIMON was overpowered by SAVORY
in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge fight. Well, it looked to ME like, um, Savory
sucked the Bacardi right up. I thought the team name was, you know, a metaphor.
Guess not.
THE SALAMINIZER (65-1413) (21-16-1,122) of KILLER TUNES challenged LUCK DEVIL
(15-5162) (21-10-1,145) of THE DEVIL'S OWN. Up 23. THE SALAMINIZER overpowered LUCK
DEVIL in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge fight. NOT a lucky devil after all.
ROOSTER (65-1414) (23-14-1,155) of KILLER TUNES challenged MANIPULATOR (64-3490)
(53-110-6,188) of UNDER DURESS. Up 33. ROOSTER was vanquished by MANIPULATOR in a 1
minute one-sided Challenge duel. Oh, well, roosters. No judgment.
SERIAL MURDERER (9-990) (31-44-0,180) of THE MONGOLOIDS challenged SANDMAN (74-
2896) (82-118-3,207) of DARKLINGS. Up 27. SERIAL MURDERER was savagely defeated by
SANDMAN in a 8 minute Challenge melee. Well, that's probabaly good. We don't want
serial murderers loose here!
DONKEY HOTAY (19-5187) (32-8-1,210) of MAN OR BEAST? challenged SEKHAT (7-2251)
(64-120-3,206) of CASTAWAYS. Down 4. DONKEY HOTAY was devastated by SEKHAT in a 1
minute mismatched Challenge match. That's one mean cat-person.
TRUST BUSTER 1 (32-5443) (24-2-0,201) of DEVIL ADVOCATES challenged WISHI HADA
CLUE (9-787) (37-29-1,196) of THE MONGOLOIDS. Down 5. TRUST BUSTER 1 demolished
WISHI HADA CLUE in a 1 minute Challenge competition. Somebody give Wishi a clue,
okay? He needs it.
GIMME SOME SUGAR (19-4936) (88-55-0,210) of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged
CONTROVERSY (64-3914) (64-80-1,205) of UNDER DURESS. Down 5. GIMME SOME SUGAR
devastated CONTROVERSY in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge fight. Lots of things can't
stand all that sugar. I mean, even *I* have to put an extra umbrella in it!
ABSOLUTION (32-5301) (39-14-3,210) of ANGELS OF PAIN challenged S. MARY ROSE
(78-2313) (89-99-2,201) of HABIT. Down 9. This is, like, the biggest downchallenge
today. I know the clerks got all excited about it, but *I* don't think it's such a
big dea. ABSOLUTION subdued S. MARY ROSE in an action packed 2 minute bloody
Challenge fight.
THE LION KING (35-4124) (23-11-0,218) of IN THE JUNGLE challenged ARGUMENT (64-
3915) (67-77-0,232) of UNDER DURESS. Up 14. I think fourteen. THE LION KING
viciously subdued ARGUMENT in a crowd pleasing 7 minute Challenge fight. Nobody
smart argues with a lion.
For the title:
BILBO BAGGINNI (9-5508) (73-32-1,222) of MIDDLE ITALY challenged WILLY LIV (9-
2930) (28-14-2,251) of THE MONGOLOIDS. Up 29. BILBO BAGGINNI subdued WILLY LIV in a
3 minute Challenge Title melee. Tough luck, Willy, but I did like your column.
Congratulations to Bilbo.
