                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hello.  *smiling*

     Well, our Keeper of the Runeblade again failed to challenge, avoid, or write a
column, but again he won.  I don't get it.  He doesn't seem that interested.
NEOSPHINCTER (18-7317) (109-38-1,536) of WASTELAND fought CHIEF STORMCLOUD (51-4306)
(41-19-1,229) of RAINDANCE.  NEOSPHINCTER won victory over CHIEF STORMCLOUD in a 3
minute Title battle.  Neo is, naturally, our premier Aimed Blow.
     No one died.  No one avoided.  There was but one challenge, and that was by a
Tournament Victor.  Well done, Evil Elmo!  EVIL ELMO (99-1222) (76-39-4,207) of
TWISTED SESAME TV challenged DOC STEELE (18-6010) (99-178-6,212) of ARROGANCE.  EVIL
ELMO bested DOC STEELE in a crowd pleasing 3 minute Challenge fight.  Evil holds, and
deserves, the title of Top Wall of Steel.
     Well, Goku is our second stylemaster, the arena's top Lunger.  Let's see how he
did!  GOKU (7-5628) (77-33-0,282) of WASTELAND II fought SOLACIA (104-24) (68-32-
0,225) of ARENA EMPLOYEES.  GOKU devastated SOLACIA in an exciting 2 minute brutal
mismatched conflict.  Well done, Goku... although Solacia isn't all that tough.
     Etched in Stone is our top Total Parry and he did something amazing this turn!
ETCHED IN STONE (61-3112) (127-47-1,240) of CEMENTIA fought FERD THE TOWER (104-27)
(120-15-8,280) of ARENA EMPLOYEES.  ETCHED IN STONE won victory over FERD THE TOWER
in an action packed 6 minute gory duel.  WELL DONE, Etched!
     Of course, our Overall Popularity Leader remains the inimitable Crack is Cheap.
CRACK IS CHEAP (82-18422) (59-80-0,205) of NEGATIVE CASH FLOW fought ANTAGONIST (3-
2824) (24-27-2,180) of KIDS GONE BAD.  CRACK IS CHEAP luckily beat ANTAGONIST in an
exciting 4 minute bloody fray.  Good fight, boys.
     And what of Hatch Battener, who was this turn's most popular?  BRICKTOP (18-
7955) (68-69-0,188) of WASTELAND fought HATCH BATTENER (1-8014) (29-21-1,204) of SEA
DOGS.  BRICKTOP luckily beat HATCH BATTENER in an action packed 5 minute gruesome
fray.  It was close, it was gory, it sold a lot of fried lizards on sticks.  Well
done, you two!
     Least favored this turn is Patch.  Well, that's what happens when you get your
ass kicked by some loudmouth from the stands.  PATCH (36-7297) (15-11-0,46) of SEA
DOGS fought COCKY SPECTATOR (104-3) (0-0-0,0) of ARENA EMPLOYEES.  PATCH was
overpowered by COCKY SPECTATOR in a 1 minute one-sided duel.
     Does this count as an upset?  FRANKENBERRY (82-51803) (28-8-0,284) of DM OWNS
YOU fought COOLER (82-7277) (87-81-1,216) of STYROFOAM.  FRANKENBERRY was overpowered
by COOLER in a 1 minute one-sided fight.
     Laguna Lil got a lot of applause these days, even though she was beaten by Red
Fusion.  RED FUSION (6-5480) (78-58-0,193) of IT'S NEW! fought LAGUNA LIL (7-5681)
(26-52-0,167) of BEACH BABES.  RED FUSION beat LAGUNA LIL in an action packed 4
minute duel.  Everyone said Lil demonstrated some good moves, and good progress in
the game.
     Well...I think I'd better wind this up.  Or fold it into an eagle's shape, and
deliver it to the Commission's copyists on an errant breeze.  See you all in
fourteen!

A. Monk, P.I. -- So go detect something. -- Aloha Alice

Parrot Keeper -- I like your bird better than you, and I don't much care for parrots.

Miss Teak -- They me a good student is a jewel.  I figure a good loser is even more
valuable.  Take care of yourself and come back soon. -- Tallahasse Tina
P.S.  Not that your loss makes all that much sense.

Shewish Whaler -- Mind you don't bring that overgrown fish out HERE.  I don't want it
stinking up my sand. -- Beach Betty

Neosphincter -- I hate how you don't even seem to notice what you're doing as you
defeat people.  It's rude. -- Crysoprase

Manute Bol -- Don't like your style, not at all.  We had an Aimed Blow on our team,
back in Sibhikas.  Didn't like him, either. -- Stassia

                            Starting Nov 2008 (10 turns)

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 alliance and the Captain of the alliance in the North Fork
            (DM 47) newsletter.
        2.  Announcements made on the D2 Forums will not be accepted.

Captains are responsible for:
        1.  Verifying those who wish to participate under the banner of their
            alliance;
        2.  Distribution of prizes should their alliance win the Turf War.
        3.  Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate

Participating managers who are not Captains must:
        1.  Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate
        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 a Gift Certificate is received.
                   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
                   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 from the Turf War (so be sure to take any
                   multiple teams OFF of Team Maintenance).
               d.  Scoring will NOT be retroactive for teams that do not properly
                   declare 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 scoring
                   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.

Scoring will be as follows for Fights:
                Win   Loss   Kill      Die
Challenge        +2     -2     +5       -5
Match Up         +1     -1     +1       -5
Bloodfeud        +2     -5     +5      -10
Champion         x2     x2     x2       x2
Dark Arena*     +10     -5     xx       xx
*After 2nd win, warrior scores no points for wins

Special Scoring Considerations for the Turf War are as follows:
Spy Report mention (team name only)              +2
Style Master                                     +2
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 be in the Adepts bracket or lower on the turn they are
         declared, and may NOT have gone above Adepts level at any time; this
         includes teams transferred into North Fork for the Turf War.

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 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 points.  This bonus will apply EACH time a
            warrior(s) win such status.
        4.  Points for TVs and TCs 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 seven (7) teams allowed per alliance for the
            Turf War.
        4.  The Dark Arena may be used on the first turn only, of every warrior,
            without penalty.

Prizes:
The Turf War is a "winner take all" contest.  All prizes and 100% of the Gift
Certificates will be awarded to the Captain of the winning alliance.  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.

The following prizes have been secured from RSI:
        1.  Renaming of the North Fork (DM 47) arena;
        2.  Renaming of Dark Arena Monsters (one 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 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 manager who fights in all 10 rounds
            AND 45 fights of the Turf War.  Bonus potion must be applied to a living

These awards will be listed by the Moderator for claiming from RSI (Lee) within 4
turns of the end of TW VI.
