                       Reflections by the Captain of the Guard

     Ned, lucky for me I didn't challenge you:  had I, I'd have probably lost.  Since 
I somehow won, am I, according to your logic, a great aimer?  Pshaw!  (That's NO WAY, 
in your era.)  BTW, thanks for the skill.  I had no idea you were already training 
stats.
     Well, Caddy , looks like it's you and me for the title this round.  Your 
win/loss certainly looks more impressive than mine.  Actually, for a a Waste, it's 
VERY impressive!  Let's see if I can add another win notch on my record.  See you on 
the sands.

                                    Quonset, coming out of his hut for this one

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     It was he, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  "Look on my work, ye 
mighty, and despair!"?  Give me a break!  If I want to despair, I'll look on the work 
yet to be done in getting stuff all boxed up.  People seem to think that just because 
I'm dead, I don't get tired, I don't get backaches, I don't sneeze at the dust 
stirred up.  As if!  No, wait, that's Debby's line.  Well, she'll just have to loan 
it to me.
     Ah, the clerks in the office here are throwing things at me.  I think that means 
"get on with the spy report."  Okay.  Here it is.

     Tuft Tuggers avoided All Finesse.  Does this mean they were crude?  No comment.
     Kookaburra was most challenged.  By butter spritz cookies.  I do like those 
butter spritz cookies.  No, that's not a hint, just a passing comment.
     Thirty-two fights today, same as last time, but we've got a death, which I will 
get to eventually.  I'm sure anybody with a death in their future doesn't want me to 
rush on it.
     Fourteen challenges, one of them TV.  That's two more challenges than last time, 
which is good.  More fights would have been good, too, but we take what we can get.

     BROKEN TOE (56-3683) (24-42-1,62) of REDHORSE fought MEAN SPIRIT (101-5) (0-0-
0,70) of the College of Mimes.  BROKEN TOE was demolished by MEAN SPIRIT in a 1 
minute uneven contest.  Some of those mimes are REALLY mean-spirited.  It's why they 
become mimes.  They're too mean even to share their thoughts with people, so they 
don't talk.
     SEGALLION SUNDANCER (11-4600) (24-21-1,80) of TUFT TUGGERS fought PROWESS (2-
5155) (21-23-0,64) of KNOT WHOLE.  SEGALLION SUNDANCER overpowered PROWESS in a 1 
minute uneven bout.  It isn't easy being a female Prow, you see.
     HUMMINGBIRD (56-3475) (23-28-0,53) of REDHORSE fought JOHN LONGSHORE (11-4197) 
(24-31-0,50) of TUFT TUGGERS.  HUMMINGBIRD demolished JOHN LONGSHORE in a 2 minute 
brutal one-sided fight.  I think it's the long needle Humming holds in her mouth 
during the fight.  It makes her opponents nervous, and I can understand that!  It'd 
make me nervous, too.  What if you hit her and she swallows it?  Are you liable for 
the medical costs of getting it back out?
     BLIND ILLUSION (22-6379) (16-14-1,73) of MEDIEVAL CHAOS fought CROOKED HOOF (56-
3493) (28-18-0,61) of REDHORSE.  BLIND ILLUSION was overcome by CROOKED HOOF in an 
exciting 2 minute fight.  The question arises, had Illusion not been Blind, could 
he/she/it have avoided the crude advances of Crooked Hoof?  Or not?
     GAR & BRILL (38-4252) (28-53-0,42) of JUST BECAUSE fought GAZELLE (56-3701) (21-
17-0,42) of REDHORSE.  GAR & BRILL was overpowered by GAZELLE in an action packed 1 
minute one-sided fight.  We've told him and TOLD him, clean up that brill, or someone 
will come along and CLOSE YOU DOWN, Gar.  But he never listens.

     SKI MASK (58-5869) (46-74-0,100) of CIRQUE DU MASQUES fought CITATION (15-3925) 
(19-14-0,88) of TRIPLE CROWN.  SKI MASK was vanquished by CITATION in an action 
packed 1 minute one-sided fray.  I'm not sure what we're seeing here.  Did Ski get 
trampled by a horse, or was the Duck presented with a parking ticket?
     MOOSE (56-3459) (16-23-0,56) of REDHORSE fought KI (31-165) (28-37-1,67) of 
AVENGERS.  MOOSE was beaten by KI in an action packed 1 minute competition.  This is 
something that happens to meece.
     QUIFF (10-4779) (20-10-0,96) of QUBIT fought PLACES THE LOTION... (98-909) (14-
14-5,99) of ARCANE BEACH DAY.  QUIFF subdued PLACES THE LOTION... in an exciting 3 
minute melee.  Is Quiff a cousin to Queequeg?  Has there BEEN a Queequeg on this team 
yet?
     SMELLY TOES (82-17409) (17-10-0,126) of HYBRIDS V fought EVE DREWSHADOW (53-
6246) (23-17-0,107) of PUERCO'S PINATA.  SMELLY TOES overpowered EVE DREWSHADOW in a 
popular 1 minute one-sided duel.  Those toes would overpower anybody.  Even me, and 
I'm dead and don't mind a smell or two.
     GATEWAY (82-15631) (17-3-0,118) of ATTACK OF THE CLONES fought TICKLES (9-3486) 
(55-78-1,145) of MY PETS.  GATEWAY overpowered TICKLES in an exciting 1 minute uneven 
fight.  A clone's a kind of golem, yes?  One that's just like somebody else?  Sounds 
boring.  Unoriginal.  But it attacks well.

     BUCK (1-2291) (43-92-0,136) of MOSSRUNNERS fought TYMARIS RAVENSWOOD (53-5637) 
(26-29-0,122) of PUERCO'S PINATA.  BUCK was vanquished by TYMARIS RAVENSWOOD in a 
popular 3 minute mismatched fray.  This is what happens to warriors who come out 
naked under their armor.  Oh yeah, Buck is.  He boasts about it sometimes.  Can you 
imagine the calluses he must have?
     LONE WOLF (31-162) (32-35-1,173) of AVENGERS fought RIFT (12-3922) (28-20-1,147) 
of SPIRITUAL GIFT.  LONE WOLF was viciously subdued by RIFT in a popular 4 minute 
gruesome match.  Does this mean the Wolf is not ready for gifts of the spirit yet?  
Some aren't.
     DITCH RAT (82-15360) (34-37-5,199) of VERMIN! fought SHARON SHEW (101-25) (0-0-
0,181) of the College of Mimes.  DITCH RAT devastated SHARON SHEW in a 1 minute one-
sided bout.  This was not the act of a true gentleman, but then, can a rat BE a true 
gentleman?
     CREDIT LINE (82-1366) (12-24-0,191) of WOMEN LOVE ME FOR MY fought SIR OCCO (10-
5079) (32-22-0,174) of SIR AGLIO.  CREDIT LINE overpowered SIR OCCO in a 1 minute 
mismatched conflict.  Maybe so, but he did it all on the time payment plan, and he's 
going to be coming down with new cuts and bruises for the next week.
     R IS FOR REPUGNANT (99-1155) (21-11-4,201) of GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME fought 
BATTLESTONE (66-2980) (34-26-0,178) of FRAG 'EM ALL!  R IS FOR REPUGNANT was savagely 
defeated by BATTLESTONE in an exciting 2 minute bout.  This is because Battlestone 
found R to be repugnant, and who could blame him, eh?

     KAIDEN (35-3108) (98-93-2,204) of VIOLENT FEMS fought DELICE THE RED (56-3401) 
(60-66-3,189) of BAD APPLES.  KAIDEN devastated DELICE THE RED in a 1 minute one-
sided fight.  That is, unquestionably, one of the most violent fems I've seen in a 
long time.  Two weeks, in fact--since the last time we all met here.
     SPAZZ (33-6207) (53-51-0,189) of SNOTZI'S II fought HARV (82-20046) (16-6-1,162) 
of 4-LETTER NAMES.  SPAZZ was beaten by HARV in a crowd pleasing 1 minute brawl.  Why 
this particular match pleased the crowd is beyond my comprehension.
     ARAC IRONFIST (67-1944) (29-19-0,188) of RAZOR GRACE fought 50 SUCKS (60-4129) 
(82-44-2,194) of JOKA MASHER!  ARAC IRONFIST was narrowly defeated by 50 SUCKS in an 
action packed 3 minute struggle.  If the defeat was so narrow, does that mean that 
Arac was, what, fifty-one?
     Ah!  A challenge match!
     CIARAN (1-7176) (22-16-1,81) of MANNEQUIN'S BEST challenged CARRIE NATION (64-
4054) (53-88-0,81) of REFORMERS.  Straight across.  CIARAN handily defeated CARRIE 
NATION in a 2 minute one-sided Challenge conflict.  This is a blow struck for wine-
lovers everywhere.
     SUGARBEET (7-5219) (24-22-1,64) of SUGAR AND SPICE challenged PISTON HURRICANE 
(40-2287) (18-9-0,65) of AS FAR AS SIAM.  Up 1.  SUGARBEET was savagely defeated by 
PISTON HURRICANE in a 2 minute Challenge brawl.  You wouldn't have thought the 
difference in recognition would have signal such savage superiority, would you?

     NUTCRACKER (38-4380) (24-21-1,76) of ALL FINESSE challenged RUTHLESS (15-4591) 
(24-17-0,92) of TRIPLE CROWN.  Up 16, I think.  I need some coffee here.  NUTCRACKER 
devastated RUTHLESS in an exciting 1 minute mismatched Challenge conflict.  Does this 
mean that Ruthless didn't deserve his name today?
     BRIARTHORN (12-5671) (18-16-1,83) of DARKMOON challenged FRED (65-5333) (29-12-
0,89) of MYSTERY MACHINE.  Up 6.  BRIARTHORN overpowered FRED in a 2 minute brutal 
one-sided Challenge fight.  It was a thorny problem, if you will permit me to say so, 
and Fred just couldn't unravel it.
     AVALYNE WHYTE (11-3270) (21-18-1,88) of TUFT TUGGERS challenged BLACK EYE (60-
6163) (31-20-0,96) of JOKA MASHER!  Up 8.  AVALYNE WHYTE was vanquished by BLACK EYE 
in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge fight.  Very much a black-and-white sort of fight.
     AGLIBOL (12-5848) (18-8-0,63) of DARKMOON challenged TEDDY RUXPIN (11-6399) (24-
17-1,65) of LORDS OF CHAOS.  Up 2.  AGLIBOL viciously subdued TEDDY RUXPIN in a 
popular 4 minute gruesome Challenge duel.  So, do we interpret the crowd's response 
as a vote against Chaos?
     ZLATINA ANGUELOVA (11-4856) (26-24-1,95) of TUFT TUGGERS challenged FEALOST (1-
3916) (46-60-1,143) of MOSSRUNNERS.  Up a ridiculous 48.  ZLATINA ANGUELOVA slimly 
lost to FEALOST in an action packed 3 minute Challenge melee.  The Mossrunner will 
have to change his name to Feawon.

     VALLISNERIA (30-3226) (23-18-1,119) of THE GREENHOUSE challenged HALLIE O'DENE 
(58-6018) (60-79-0,156) of CIRQUE DU MASQUES.  Up 37.  VALLISNERIA was overcome by 
HALLIE O'DENE in a 2 minute Challenge fight.  This is what happens, at least 
sometimes, to people who live in glass houses.
     QUEEN AMAZONIA (12-4796) (34-42-1,114) of DARKMOON challenged KOOKABURRA (33-
4151) (60-81-2,124) of GIRL SCOUT COOKIES.  Up 10.  QUEEN AMAZONIA devastated 
KOOKABURRA in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge match.  Kook was the most challenged, 
you will recall.  And Queenie was the lucky winner of the battle at the challenge 
board, as well as on the sands.
     FIENDISH GLEE (46-1553) (21-14-5,118) of CLEVER LINGO challenged MR. POTATO HEAD 
(20-442) (29-23-0,150) of LORDS OF CHAOS.  Up 32.  FIENDISH GLEE bested MR. POTATO 
HEAD in a popular 3 minute Challenge duel.  Mr. is just to dull and lumpish to be 
able to deal with fiendish glee.  Or any kind of glee.  A ponderous satisfaction is 
about his speed.
     EVIL ELMO (99-1222) (19-11-4,104) of TWISTED SESAME challenged MOUNTAIN GOAT 
(56-3700) (27-35-3,113) of REDHORSE.  Up 9.  EVIL ELMO narrowly defeated MOUNTAIN 
GOAT in a 3 minute Challenge match.  I would have expected Elmo to get in a faster 
win.  Three minutes, and it was just "narrow"?  Of course, it could be partly the 
arenamaster's fault.  The Goat is not SUPPOSED to be jumping up on the barrier every 
time he feels cornered.
     NED THE JANITOR (66-2973) (37-30-0,199) of ANDORIAN UNIVERSITY challenged MOD 
COD (55-2638) (66-88-3,199) of RHYME TYME.  Straight across.  NED THE JANITOR was 
devastated by MOD COD in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge contest.  A fish that old can 
be devastating to anyone.

     The TV challenge:  ANIJIA ALARA (11-4675) (20-10-1,164) of MANIACAL TUFTS TV 
challenged TALON (18-7782) (34-14-1,197) of GET OUTTA MY WAY.  Up 33.  ANIJIA ALARA 
devastated TALON in an action packed 2 minute mismatched Challenge fight.  Thus 
demonstrating how Anijia came by the TV challenge in the first place.

     And for the title:  QUONSET (10-4990) (43-27-0,223) of QUBIT challenged CADDY 
JACKKNIFE (11-4288) (33-16-0,213) of GERFEL'S FRIENDS.  Down 10.  QUONSET was put to 
death by CADDY JACKKNIFE in a 3 minute Challenge Title match.  DEATH!  Death to the 
old Captain, and life to the new!  Congratulations to Caddy, and condolences to 
Quonset.

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Ned -- NED, DUDE!  What happened?  You... you're not on top?  What's up with that?  
We can't have a no name wanna be with no personality hanging in the Captain's seat!  
That dude needs to go back to riding the ferris wheel!  We better kick some bootay!
-- Anij

Gazelle -- I wish I were young and eager to learn so well as you.  Put them to use.
-- John Longshore

Hallie O'Dene -- A topic?  Let me think, something you'd be interested in dealing 
with... because you know, men have a very limited range of interests, usually.  Okay, 
lets deal with the problem you just mentioned.  How can your mind be written over so 

many times?  Is this a recurring problem with you?  Does your personality change?  Do 
you wake up and forget what you did the night before?  <looking a bit interested in 
that last idea!> -- Tankesh

     Could it be that her mind is written over so many times because it's stored on a
     rewrite-able disk? -- O.

Delice the Red -- Might be fun?  Ned, a janitor?  I guess if you're into smoking 
cloves.  Maybe my definition of fun is different than yours, but I know "I" can 
certainly be fun in more than just exotic ways.  You ever think about substituting 
the 'x' in exotic for an 'r'? -- Tankesh

Mr. Potato Head -- Hey, I'm surprised you could hang in there so long.  Well fought!  
Best tango I've had in months! -- Anij

Mountain Goat -- Damn, them horns are sharp!  Like gettin run over by a pair of ice 
skates! -- Zlatina

Ki -- Well, it seems I missed the skills in that fight.  Maybe another time. -- 
Avalyne

Gar & Brill -- I won?  Go figure, how'd I do that?  Skills were light, but since 
that's normal, I'll take a win! -- John Longshore

Hermy -- I have yet to encounter a stand in warrior that was anywhere near as brutal 
as the Aruaki arenamaster!  He was vicious!  Some day a Tuft Tugger is going to take 
that guy down. -- Segallion

     Well, cats, what can you expect?  Look at the way they treat mice! -- O.

Hallie O'Dene -- What!?!  No skills??  What DOES it take? -- Sir Occo, fast like the 
wind

     Slowing down to "smell the skills"?

Avalyne -- Tell Tankesh not to worry so much.  I'm blessed in ways most warriors are 
not. -- Citation, one of only 11 to win the Triple Crown

Ho-Chan the Axe -- You're a fossil?  So, where did you go?  You went off to Talahya?  
What a shame! -- Sultan

All hail Quonset, Captain of Homeguard.  I'd vow my return to the top, but it may be 
long in coming. -- Ned the (ex-)Captain of the Guard

Delice -- My floor-sweeping days are long past... -- Ned

Anij -- Feel free to have-at Quonset, now that he is Captaining our gladiatorial 
ship.  Or do you reserve such histrionics as you've shown me for your alliance-mates 
only?  Go jump in the lake, if it pleases you. -- Ned

Fiendish Glee -- I didn't indulge in your primary vice, did I?  Your getting that 
master rating that I still don't have might have had something to do with it, but 
still... I was a gracious winner.  Or at least a quiet winner. -- Fealost

Zlatina Anguelova -- I like your pearly whites, too.  That's a very nice smile you've 
got there. -- Mountain Goat

Sugarbeet -- Thank you for challenging me.  Sorry I didn't teach you anything, but 
then I'm not an old fart like some of my teammates.  You're quite a respectable 
gladiator, though.  You should get your manager to buy you a gender attachment. -- 
Hummingbird

Ski Mask -- I'll gladly fight you to defend my right to be named Hummingbird!  But 
you'll have to challenge me.  It takes an act of Congress to make my manager post a 
challenge.  And the Isle doesn't even have a Congress. -- Hummingbird

     I think that means this match is doomed never to happen.

Aglibol -- Aagh!  Your style should NEVER challenge my style!  Don't let it happen 
again! -- Gazelle

John Longshore -- Maybe you should ask Aglibol.  I didn't do so well hitting HIM 
back. -- Gazelle
P.S.  Oh, all right.  Come on over to the practice arena tomorrow and I'll show you 
some stuff.

Ciaran -- It's quite embarrassing to be one-shotted.  Of course, until they 
reattached my arm I wasn't really concerned about appearances.  Well struck. -- 
Broken Toe

Kookaburra -- I... I... ... ... won? -- Buck
P.S.  I suppose this means you're going to flash your... (covering eyes)... oh no, 
wait a minute, you don't have one.  Golem.  (wiping brow in relief) I would hate to 
see someone's gender attachment without any warning.

Carrie Nation -- Nicely struck.  You looked like you were trying to fell a tree.  I 
was just glad to get out of the arena more or less intact.  I'll be having a few ales 
to celebrate; you're welcome to join me. -- Moose

Blind Illusion -- That's just not fair!  The Commission awards you five skills, an 
Advanced Expert rating AND an Advanced Master rating?  I fought better than you did, 
except at the very last instant! -- Crooked Hoof

     The Commission is always unfair.

Nutcracker -- Ha!  Us Ducks EAT nuts!  Before breakfast! -- Ski Mask, Founder and 
President, Ducks with Swords

Mod Cod -- Damned Fish. -- Delice the Red

Sir Occo -- It's always a pleasure to see one of your style performing so well. -- 
Hallie O'Dene

Moose -- You sot! -- Carrie Nation

Segallion -- All men are fools. -- Carrie Nation
P.S.  Most women, too.

Longshore -- And what about "Do unto others as has BEEN done unto you," eh?  Would 
YOU like to have your sister served up as a roast in orange sauce? -- Ski Mask

     This in my invitation to all managers  who wish to prove their mettle against
managers from all over Alastari.  We have limited TP's in this contest to one a team

hence the Andorian arena.  Good luck to all who come to prove their skills.  "May
