Turf Wars

Turf Wars are the act of claiming territory ranging from a small town, to a whole island as your own piece of land under your Crew's influence and control. Claiming Turf as your own awards you or the Captain of the Crew with fixed sums of Beli periodically depending on the location and size of the Turf.

To acquire Turf, though there are different levels of Turf one can claim, universally you must complete a Turf Gran Voyage with a Level that corresponds with the Level of Turf you wish to claim. Beyond completing a Turf Gran Voyage there is another requirement you must meet to claim Turf.

• Level 1 Turf: Level 1 Turf Gran Voyage, must possess at least 10 Prestige.*
  
• Level 2 Turf: Level 2 Turf Gran Voyage w/ potential Light NPCing, must possess at least 30 Prestige.
  
• Level 3 Turf: Level 3 Turf Gran Voyage w/ Moderate NPCing, must possess at least 75 Prestige.
  

*Prestige requirement can be split amongst major participants of the Turf Gran Voyage. So two individuals with 5 Prestige can take on a Lvl 1 Turf Gran Voyage, though only one individual would gain the Turf.

All Turf Gran Voyages are open for intervention from any party, may they be a defending party or unassociated.

One should be aware that Turf Gran Voyages do not have to be violent in nature. You can very well take control of Turf in a peaceful manner should the setting call for it, but the scenario should still be realistic. Most however, will find it easiest to take over by force.

What Are Levels of Turf

• Level 1 Turf: A small piece of the pie, equivalent to owning a town or establishing a place of "business". Site wise, you'd have a piece of a sub-forum like a small area in Mock Town as opposed to Mock Town itself. Examples include, Buggy's small sphere of influence over Orange Town and Doflamingo's Auction House on Sabaoady Archipelago.
  
• Level 2 Turf: A moderate slice of pie, equivalent to establishing an organization on an island or having a sphere of influence that proceeds your character's presence itself. The maximum size is being in charge of a sub-forum like Nanohana or Mock Town. Examples include, Crocodile on Rain Base with Baroque Works and Enel on Skypiea.
  
• Level 3 Turf: The whole pie. Here you have established yourself as the dominant ruling force over the island, may this just be in the form of your protection, you sit upon a throne, or just have put a figure head in place while you reap in the benefits from the background. This would be having a whole forum under your control like Sandy Island. Examples include, Doflamingo with Dressrosa or Whitebeard and now Luffy with Fishman Island.
  

Benefits come once every two weeks after Turf has been acquired. Benefits are based on the Turf's Level and parameters. However, to claim said benefits and any other benefits that come from the Turf, you must supply links to at least 7 IC post every two weeks when you make your claims. Claim your benefits on your Character Page in the Development section. Each Island offers different Benefits, which can either be recurring or 1 time bonuses. 1 Time Bonuses can only be claimed once as their name suggest but could potentially be more beneficial depending on what they grant. Benefits will change depending on the state of the Island the Turf is on. Benefits can be anything from beli or crafting points to increases to influence or population which will be explained in the second part of the system. (Unique benefits can also be applied if they fit the theme of the turf or the island it's on.)

Turf DamageTurf Damage occurs when substantial damage is done to one's Turf or one's reputation. For example, if you owned Rainbase and someone destroyed half the Casino, this would be called Turf Damage. If you were defeated horribly overseas, this is also Turf Damage as your reputation has been damaged. Why this is important is because until Turf Damage is addressed ICly, one cannot be given the biweekly benefits of their Turf.

In most cases Staff will assign a reasonable repair cost if it is something that can be fixed with Beli. Whether the Turf owner decides to fix it or not is up to them, but it at least must be addressed ICly. How they deal with it can even make them lose Tiers in some Parameters they have purchased like Influence. PCs can inflict Turf Damage on other PCs and cause a direct loss in Parameters like Population or even Influence, by defaming the owner. Turf Damage is a great way of weakening one's Turf before plotting on taking it over.

• You yourself can own a maximum of 3 Pieces of Turf.
  

Upgrading Turf

In this part of the Turf System, we'll go over three topics, Statuses of Islands, Turf Upgrades, and Island Capacity.

Islands have statuses, that range from Claimed, Unclaimed, or Stabilized. Should an area be Stabilized unless it is through an Event, the area cannot be claimed as someone's Turf. This is usually the case for government controlled islands like Marineford. Claimed means someone, PC or NPC, has claimed this area as a Turf and is in charge. Unclaimed means that no specific person is in charge and the inhabitants of the Island just live life.

In this section you'll find information about the parameters of a piece of Turf. You'll see that Level 3 Turfs have large array of things that they can upgrade since they have a whole island under their thumb. These upgrades costs Beli and all of these stats will be tracked on the Island's "Area Description".

Islands already come with these parameters at certain levels. This gives the player more details about Islands. Should the Island be claimed as Level 3 Turf, some of the upgrades will remain, but sometimes some will be diminished as the side effect of a change in leadership and chaos.

These levels will suggest how difficult it will be to take over certain islands as opposed to others. For example if an Island has a high Tier population and Army, then taking it over will be more difficult.

These are the aspects of Turf that can be upgraded. Level 1 and 2 Turfs can only make use of Influence, though the pre-existing parameters the Turf possessed prior to being claimed will remain. They will not reap any monetary benefits however. Level 1 and 2 Turfs (subforums) w/o parameters listed, are will have the parameters established by the Level 3 Turf (Island) they fall under. Technology, housing, etc. The Army and Weaponry level will be regarded as 1 Tier lower, minimum Tier 1, however. The details of the parameters go to show what resources PCs have at their disposal when they are in charge. NPCs will not be held to the same amount of resources a PC in charge would have and will often have more at their direct disposal.

• Influence- Influence denotes how much pull you have over those in your sphere of control. The more influence you have the more things will go your way in the area you control. The citizens will like you more and you'll receive a larger Beli reward when time for your biweekly payment comes. Your other parameters cannot exceed the Tier of your Influence.

More Population nets you more Beli when time for your BiWeekly payment for owning Turf arrives.
