NIATOLI NOTEBOOK
Book the Fourth 539
by Hammer the WordSmith
"[Remember] this: he who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and
grudgingly, and he who sows generously [that blessings may come to someone] will also
reap generously and with blessings." -- II Corinthians 9:6 Amplified
Hammer sat upon the large outcropping of rock overlooking the unusually calm
water that washed gently upon the sloping beach below. This was a time for
reflection and solitude with fishing pole and baited hook as the denizens of the deep
gave up their treasured nutrition in a contest of wills and strength.
The pile of quivering fish would make for a great feast at the banquet hall of
the KLKASINO gaming compound. The HAMMERZ gladiators gathered round DUCK CREEK
HAMMER to extend their congratulations to the one warrior selected by the veteran
manager to make the journey to the Tempe Facer.
First there was the matter of survival in the Niatoli Island Arena before DUCK
CREEK HAMMER would have the opportunity to cross blades with yet to be determined
gladiators from across the realm of Alastari. There were plenty of disgruntled
Niatoli Neighbors ready to end the lives of every KLKASINO HAMMERZ gladiator that had
the boldness to step out on the Sands and Cross Blades in the fabled Basic Arena.
"May Your Blades Be Sharp and Your Wits Sharper!"
Hammer
Minister of War
SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to NIATOLI ISLAND once again! Bein' on top is great while it
lasts, DEATH PENALTY. But how many friends do you have now? Phhbltt! Too much
drinking and too little dodging gave KLKASINO HAMMERZ a 2-3-0! I got a good laugh
out of it! Up 'n down. Up 'n down. Rankings always change. Up 'n down. I think
I'm gonna be... Well, BAD COMPANY's 5th moved them up to 3-2-0 place. BIG LAKE
BANDITS showed NIATOLI ISLAND what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance
to walk off with 5-0-1. What's with SOCIETY RED? He actually beat RAVAGING LORDS'
VEXER, and walked away with 18 more points from the fight. Major screwup at RAVAGING
LORDS. VEXER lost 14 points to SOCIETY RED. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe
VEXER will provide more easy wins... What a role model for NIATOLI ISLAND's young
'uns! EGGPLANT becomes Duelmaster, but don't bother to fight no more! I'm sure
NIATOLI ISLAND is excited about THE MORTICIAN, the new Duelmaster from BIG LAKE
BANDITS. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... Wouldn't it be nice
to have live subjects to practice on? I hear some team is looking into the uses of
convicted prisoners.
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. NIATOLI ISLAND thinks BIG
LAKE BANDITS and their 488-484-47 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give
up... Management must be dealin', as the boys at BAD COMPANY ain't reelin'! BIG
LAKE BANDITS' mad! What do people see in TASSADAR? His 2-2-0? NYE MAULERS ain't
talkin', but he's got 16 points. KILMOR expects the easy win by going 24 points
down. AMERICAN TALIBAN will find this a hard lesson! KILMOR killed AMERICAN
TALIBAN. I bet KILMOR could beat two-year-olds, too. Well, HOMELAND SECURITY knows
who to set their sights on. SEXUAL PREDATOR didn't quite know what to make of a
challenge he received from DUCK CREEK HAMMER of KLKASINO HAMMERZ, who is 21 points
below him. DUCK CREEK HAMMER perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he lost to
SEXUAL PREDATOR and ended up with 8 recognition points. I hate going to the effort
of writing about the kind of fights that THE MORTICIAN gets in. He fights people
like TIM CAMPEAU, 13 points below. I thought THE MORTICIAN showed great skill and
promise when he won victory over TIM CAMPEAU. All right, so I slept through it! Big
deal!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? AMERICAN TALIBAN found itself really over-matched when it
faced KILMOR. AMERICAN TALIBAN found itself grossly dead at the end of the match.
Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take
note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? The
end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my
medication, so I'll leave now. Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

PERSONAL ADS
Hammer and friends, good luck on your quest to cleanse the Island. Cream rises to
the top and solid stench sinks. -- Sweetie-Pie
Bill -- You gotta fight to win. Snork's victory on Tim the other turn was a fluke,
do it again and the real Tim Campean will be knocking at your door. -- Crambus
Den -- Looking forward to schoolin' you again. -- Crambus
Hammer -- Sandbaggers or not, hopefully you'll be gone soon enough. "Time and
finances determines who plays where and how often." Gee, do you think? It doesn't
take an educated man to figure that out. People have tried giving me attitude
adjustments for 30+ years, and failed miserably, save yourself the efforts. We all
go into 81 with the same deal, a new team and no sandbaggers. That is not "Bigger
Fist to Fry," it's the same competition for everyone. Den already stated in the
forums that I'm bringing in War Machine. I hope you don't mind that I changed my
mind. I've had the overviews since early Dec. -- Crambus
Ace Hearts Hammer -- Boss tells me I'm not to be mad by you beating me, but I'm still
steamed. Watch out or I'll find the arena you are in and detonate. -- Homicide
Bomber
Convicted Thief should join our side. With his talent we will control and influence
the world! -- Freedom Fighter
Father Nelson -- If they allowed AK's on the sands I would have made quick work of
you. I'll be eyeing you for a future target. -- American Taliban
Hollowshade and ghost of Perfect Drug -- Unfortunately the government has banned any
perfect drugs and I was forced to deflect attention from myself and direct it to you.
Your death is unfortunate but sanctioned by the government. Maybe you should stay
more under-cover? -- Sleeper Cell
Duck Creek Hammer -- As uneven as the fight was it was fun for me. To the future
mettle of our skills. -- Terror Suspect
Never fear America, for we are here to influence your decisions and lawmakers. We
will never give up and look for your weaknesses. Like a good influential group, we
will live off the host but not kill it. Rumors are this arena is deadly, and we will
participate in the virulence of the place. Death is unfortunate but expected, and we
will die for our cause. -- The warriors of Homeland Security, managed by ?
Niatoli Neighbors -- Be Ye Friend or Foe May Your Gladiators Fare Well at the Tempe
Facer Tourney! -- Hammer/Minister of War
HOMELAND SECURITY -- Welcome to our Beloved Isle! -- Hammer/Minister of War
Den -- How Pathetic! Spewing Your Venom About My Stable Wallowing Below 50 Per Cent
[49.5] while your BIG LAKE BANDITS [49.9] are a Mere .4 above My Stable! How
Contemptible Must Be Your Thoughts toward your AA mates Crambus and his NYE MAULERS
[39.8] and Philthy Phil and his JAILBIRDS [40.4] as you read the rankings! --
Hammer/Minister of War
