                       Reflections by the Captain of the Guard

Hail, Homeguardians

     Crip wanted to inform you all that out of his 94 warriors hanging around Home
Guard, 3 will be forced to leave on the next split.  Monkey Do, African Queen, and
Perfect Ten (Currently inactive) will all be moving on to Crysalis, but fear not, as
long Chatty Cabalist doesn't rip me to shreds, I plan on being here for a while.  I
do not plan on moving for a long, long time, for I am....

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     It was the Olaf golem today, and I find that thing a personal insult, so, even
though I don't really want to do a spy report for you layabouts, I will.  Just
because.  Call me petty.

     Phoneless Cord got the biggest point gain at 30.
     Gossamer had the biggest drop at 24.
     Sea Dogs was most avoided.  Royal Flush did most of that avoiding.
     Math op Owain got the most challenges.
     Twenty fights with only two standbys, this is good.  Nine challenges, which is
really good.

     GOSSAMER (98-407) (10-10-4,57) of PERFECTION QUEST fought LAKE SAILOR (101-2)
(0-0-0,30) of Assorted Louts.  GOSSAMER was handily defeated by LAKE SAILOR in a 1
minute one-sided contest.  You can perhaps see why Gossamer got the big drop in
points.
     A.O. HELL (54-2523) (26-13-2,74) of USELESS TOOLS fought CELTIC DRUID (7-5043)
(15-9-0,53) of ARCANE POWER.  A.O. HELL was beaten by CELTIC DRUID in an action
packed 2 minute fray.  I guees A.O. forgot to bring, what was it?  Ah, dill pickles.
Dill weed.  Whatever.  Pickles are better for sandwiches.
     DILL WEED (7-5241) (15-7-0,76) of SUGAR AND SPICE fought HAMMERHEAD (35-4129)
(24-25-2,69) of SEA DOGS.  DILL WEED was overpowered by HAMMERHEAD in a 1 minute one-
sided duel.  Hmm, dill doesn't seem to work on sea dogs.  Throw 'em a bone, instead.
     DOMINION (98-2058) (18-23-3,120) of ZOMBIE SQUAD 3 fought NINJA FERD (101-30)
(0-0-0,130) of Assorted Louts.  DOMINION was viciously subdued by NINJA FERD in a
crowd pleasing 5 minute competition.  Both standbys won!  Odd, that.
     SAN YANDO (30-576) (33-35-1,139) of YAMA BUSHI fought BLACKMAIL (64-3917) (38-
55-0,122) of UNDER DURESS.  SAN YANDO narrowly defeated BLACKMAIL in a popular 5
minute match.  Publish and the heck with it, eh?

     MONKEY DO (25-4152) (26-18-2,123) of PRIMATES-R-US fought ASSUR (18-7821) (29-
80-2,107) of ARROGANCE.  MONKEY DO overpowered ASSUR in an exciting 1 minute one-
sided bout.  That fight was too short, I wanted to SEE Monkey do.
     SURLY DECKHAND (21-6568) (48-56-1,133) of SEA DOGS fought OWAIN HARLSON (35-
3130) (55-99-1,112) of CHILDREN OF LLYR.  SURLY DECKHAND was handily defeated by
OWAIN HARLSON in a 1 minute mismatched bout.  Very strange.
     PRISONER 0484 (82-49671) (37-53-1,171) of DUNGEON CELL 97 fought MANIPULATOR
(64-3490) (42-69-5,114) of UNDER DURESS.  PRISONER 0484 overpowered MANIPULATOR in a
1 minute uneven struggle.  Good.  I like to see an underdog win.  It excites the
fans.
     PRISONER R02 (82-51078) (47-43-1,166) of DUNGEON CELL 4 fought HOFFA (18-9369)
(24-49-0,111) of ARROGANCE.  PRISONER R02 handily defeated HOFFA in a 1 minute uneven
fight.  This is surely not a surprise.
     SUGARBEET (7-5219) (38-38-1,201) of SUGAR AND SPICE fought SMOKE (68-5868) (39-
30-0,193) of ZOMBIE SQUAD II II.  SUGARBEET savagely defeated SMOKE in a popular 4
minute bloody brawl.  Probably some metaphor in that, but I'm not feeling
metaphorical.

The challenges:
     HYDROPONICUS (29-4605) (13-4-0,45) of BLUNT FORCE challenged HOFFA (18-8478)
(17-81-1,37) of ARROGANCE.  Down 8.  HYDROPONICUS savagely defeated HOFFA in an
exciting 2 minute brutal Challenge fight.  Easy win, Hydro.  Not that there's
anything wrong with an easy win now and then.
     HALIBUTT (5-4866) (26-26-0,46) of WIZARD'S WRATH challenged ACE OF BASE (47-
6905) (15-9-0,74) of ROYAL FLUSH.  Up 28.  HALIBUTT was savagely defeated by ACE OF
BASE in an exciting 1 minute Challenge fight.  Just asking for that loss.
     JACK KNIFE (47-6694) (18-12-1,86) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged MONTY PYTHON (22-
5939) (23-10-0,89) of SERPENTINE INC.  Up 3.  JACK KNIFE viciously subdued MONTY
PYTHON in an action packed 3 minute Challenge fight.  Some people really have it out
for snakes.
     AFRICAN QUEEN (47-6424) (22-15-0,150) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged HUW AP HUW (35-
3030) (45-116-1,156) of CHILDREN OF LLYR.  Up 6.  AFRICAN QUEEN overcame HUW AP HUW
in an action packed 2 minute Challenge melee.  Looks to me like Huw enjoyed it,
though.
     TIFFINAL (5-4865) (27-23-2,133) of WIZARD'S WRATH challenged PUMPING ON STEELE
(82-33221) (20-27-0,134) of NO RESPECT II.  Up 1.  TIFFINAL devastated PUMPING ON
STEELE in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge match.  Huh, it looked close to me.

     PHONELESS CORD (54-2018) (38-25-0,180) of USELESS TOOLS challenged SPARE ANCHOR
(18-9610) (59-32-1,187) of SEA DOGS.  Up 7.  PHONELESS CORD demolished SPARE ANCHOR
in a 5 minute mismatched Challenge competition.  For this, Phoneless got the big
point boost.
     RUBBER BULLET (54-2503) (29-7-1,205) of USELESS TOOLS challenged MATH OP OWAIN
(35-1418) (80-134-1,205) of CHILDREN OF LLYR.  Straight across.  RUBBER BULLET was
vanquished by MATH OP OWAIN in a 1 minute Challenge brawl.  Oho!  Math is showing his
teeth.  He keeps 'em in his pocket and is quite proud of the sculptural quality....
     ROWDY YOBBO (20-3429) (34-40-1,181) of SPARF! challenged WARHEAD (82-13913) (32-
12-0,198) of PYROMANIA.  Up 17.  ROWDY YOBBO was demolished by WARHEAD in a popular 1
minute one-sided Challenge melee.  Burned his fingers on that, the Yobbo did.
     DON KING (47-5374) (31-29-3,211) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged CHATTY CABALIST (42-
4488) (53-21-3,296) of DUNGEON CELL.  Up 85.  DON KING devastated CHATTY CABALIST in
a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.  An insane challenge and a surprising win.

For the title:
     IMMOVEABLE OBJECT (59-2110) (40-13-1,260) of NOT QUITE fought TAVIS CADFALSON
(35-1419) (66-148-3,203) of CHILDREN OF LLYR.  IMMOVEABLE OBJECT bested TAVIS
CADFALSON in a crowd pleasing 6 minute Title conflict.  The Object has not been
moved.  Congratulations.

We'd respond to personals directed to us last time, but there weren't any.  So,
statutory personals:

Surly Deckhand -- I don't like hanging out with bad-tempered guys, okay?  So I'm not
likely to hang around YOU all that long.  For why? -- Owain Harlson

Prisoner R02 -- I dunno, where WOULD you be if I retired?  I'm thinking about it. --
Huw ap Huw

Rubber Bullet -- Not something I'm used to working with.  Iron is my medium,
nomrally. -- Tavis Cadfalson

Immoveable Object -- Thanks for the challenge.  And yes, of course I've been
practicing.  I wouldn't call it "in secret," but if you want to watch--or Olaf does--
you have to come to where it's happening. -- Math op Owain

                        WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!

Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 13-15, 2012.  It will be 
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444), the same hotel as 
last year by popular request.  Room rates are $134.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which 
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport 
shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet.  There's a fitness center, 
jacuzzi, and pool.  The rooms are blocked--please make your reservation by December 15 
before the block is released!  (This is prime season for Phoenix, and people have been
unable to book rooms because they waited too long.)  Look for the tournament info 
sheet and minioverviews some time in December.  We hope you're all looking forward to 
it and that we will see you there!
