REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Ah, the golem! The old ghost-written spy report. What a great idea it sounded like,
back when it was a NEW idea.
"Greetings, warriors of HOME GUARD! Once again I've been called out of
retirement for my abilities and insights into Spy reporting." Retirement? What's
that? These days, a guy can't even afford to be dead without working! "What's with
PRISONER 0103? He actually beat KIWI CONNECTION's KARATIA, and walked away with 49
more points from the fight." Hey, it happens when a manager starts to pay attention.
And I would guess that this was the largest point gain, which would by why it was
mentioned. "Laughs were big at DUNGEON CELL 21 while they watched PRISONER 0103
clobber KARATIA. She lost 40 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the
stands." I dunno about the "bruised by objects" bit. Do you think there were enough
people in the stands for it to matter? That they were putting rocks in the center of
their snowballs? "I'm sure HOME GUARD is excited about GOLDENBEARD, the new
Duelmaster from SEA DOGS. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have..."
Now this is true. But at least Goldenbeard is a new face. Well, a new beard,
anyway. "Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!" Ever see such an
animal?
"Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges..." We were? "HOME GUARD
thinks DUNGEON CELL 66 and their 2-5-0 is too much!" Home Guard thinks? Notices?
"If at first you don't succeed, give up..." Talk about a winning strategy! "The
bums at MEAT YOUR MAKER couldn't face the challenges from DUNGEON CELL 66! No excuse
for that!" Were the Prisoners from the Dungeon Cell issuing challenges? I suppose
it doesn't matter, what was being defended against--and do NOT let anyone tell you
that avoiding a team is cowardly, sometimes it's plain good sense--was the
possibility that they MIGHT issue a challenge. "Keep challenging up 33 points,
LONDON QUIREBOY, and I won't have to write about you much longer." Because you'll
get booted up the ladder to Talahya. "TAVIS CADFALSON always accepts those kind of
challenges..." Meaning he doesn't avoid. "LONDON QUIREBOY did pretty good last week
in beating TAVIS CADFALSON to get 11 points. Why did TAVIS CADFALSON lose, you ask?
Simple: he wasn't good enough." This is probably true.
"A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing." Unless he's a
pro, of course. A true pro looks on it as a job and does not involve himself or
herself with the whole revenge bit, avoiding also strife outside the arena and if
possible killing. "Some fighters don't accept this. The best do." In what world?
"Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills, fight dirty." And
good advice it is.
"Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt."
Unfortunately. "Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it?" Not
possible. "Actually, I guess I'm writing it before you read it." Assuming you read
it at all.
Sixteen fights involving three standbys. Four challenges, none of them TV.
PORKY PIG (72-5953) (16-7-2,55) of MEAT YOUR MAKER challenged ABBOTT (14-4131)
(19-9-2,54) of OTAGO HIGHLANDERS. Down 1. PORKY PIG demolished ABBOTT in a 1 minute
mismatched Challenge competition.
SANDMAN (97-2610) (22-10-4,124) of COLLUSION challenged U.S.S. ARIZONA (34-2643)
(27-20-1,138) of D-DAY SQUAD. Up 14. SANDMAN vanquished U.S.S. ARIZONA in a popular
1 minute mismatched Challenge brawl.
SNOTMAN (97-2611) (22-10-6,160) of COLLUSION challenged BALLAST (1-7727) (32-42-
0,177) of SEA DOGS. Up 17. SNOTMAN vanquished BALLAST in an exciting 2 minute gory
uneven Challenge battle.
LONDON QUIREBOY (59-2513) (27-12-1,191) of CHAPEL ROCK challenged TAVIS
CADFALSON (35-1419) (43-101-3,224) of CHILDREN OF LLYR. Up 33. LONDON QUIREBOY
slimly won victory over TAVIS CADFALSON in a 2 minute Challenge fight.
And for the title:
HEAD CHEESE (96-1920) (46-19-3,279) of WHY SELL THIS? fought GOLDENBEARD (21-
6202) (31-7-1,225) of SEA DOGS. HEAD CHEESE was viciously subdued by GOLDENBEARD in
a 2 minute Title fight. Congratulations to Goldenbeard.

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Wow, everything you ever wanted to know about who fought in the tourney, and then
some. This is a new feature, having the adm tourney stuff in the newsletter, isn't
it? I think maybe I like it. -- Jorja
P.S. Although the Home Guard newsletter could probably have dispensed with
everything above the ADM level. It isn't like some Primus tourney victor is going to
be here!
James Madison -- I might vote for you, a dead president has a certain appeal, but
that doesn't mean I'd let you win when I saw a chance to grab the victory for myself.
-- Tavis Cadfalson
Ballast -- Urg. No kidding. It was probably those last three doughnuts. I
should've stopped with two, but the others were right THERE.... -- Math op Owain
Snotman -- Euwh. Wipe your nose, kid. That's disgusting. -- Cadal
Abbott -- Don't go thinking I'm Costello. I don't do that kind of stuff. -- Owain
Harlson
Prisoner 0327 -- Bah. -- Huw ap Huw
