I say we draft her regardless. After all, Nightcap is our Lord Marshall, right? TP: Golem sha 2 of the last 3 and Aragorn declared, so I say Golem gets the spot. WS: Gossamer has 2 of the last 3, so again, he gets the spot, but I'm reserving one of our free passes for Himey the Pimp, seeing as Roadkill declared for us. AB: Defiance all 3 turns, so he's in. Of course he's timed for ADM, not Eligibles, but what the hey. LU: Leather, Enlightened Being and Aldadon all with one turn each... Hmmm. Leather's not declared, so EB and Aldadon are from Aragorn. He can pick one. Whichever one he wants... SL: Claudius all 3 turns, so he's in. Go Caesar! PR: Joe the Songsmith twice and Jeanne D'Arc once. Neither manager declared. If either wants in, let me know!!! BA: Kookaburra all 3 turns. So he's in... If his manager wants. I have no idea who it is or if they want in. Again, let me know! ST: Sissy Chrissy X 2 and Flaming Flea X 1. Chrissy get the nod for Roadkill!!! PS: Veloxi all three turns. Only PS around. You want in, you got it. Should be worth some skills! Let me know. So regionals are right around the corner. This is the Free Blades team. We just need some info!!!

DM 78 LIN TIRIAN (turn 398): GABRIELLE REESE of GIRLS X3 (Non, mgr.) THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM Reflections by the Lord-Marshall Hello. I've been told I've held the title for a few turns now. Who knew? I remember a bunch of whooping and hollering as my fight ended last turn, but the hot dog vendor's cart had caught fire and I thought it was about that. Sooo... It seems I have to write a column. I apologize for not doing it sooner. I fought Golem last turn. Contrary to what Gazelle said, Golem IS a "he." I don't know whether he got a gender attachment since the previous turn, or what. But I saw him scratch his crotch, adjust his privates, and spit, so he's definitely male. Anyway, we fought for about a minute and a half, I said something obnoxious like "I have already won, and you're stupid not to see it," and then I whacked him really hard in the... recently adjusted regions. I'm not proud of it. And he crouched over to protect it, and I whacked him again on the butt. Spectators whistled in amazement at the force of the attack. What can I say? Sorry. Golem, I hope you're better now. Questions from the audience... Am I going to challenge? Of course not! You can all see what team I'm on. Am I as good a Parry-Lunger as, say... Epitaph? Not even close! Do I even understand my style? Not really. Am I beatable? What do you think? How long have I been Tower Guardian? How long will I remain Tower Guardian? I don't know. But today (at least until after the fights) I am still Tower Guardian, so I'm going to take my title out and see if it can get me laid. Probably not, since Primus is in the same town and the low men on the totem pole there are all Tower Guardians. *sigh* Wish me luck! Nightcap REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Well, it's always a question, you know? How much does the spy reporter say, I mean. Blow-by-blow or at least fight-by-fight, or just, you know, hit the high spots. Sometimes it's obvious, like, if a lot of people are challenging and writing personals, showing an interest, you know, then a lot of words from the spy reporter, and if not, not. But what do I do when there's at least three managers challenging, but only Jorja and the She-Puppy sending in personals? Well, what I do today is call for another drink with an umbrella in it to help me think. And it really does help, so don't snicker! It's amazing what a difference the umbrella makes. Let's see, hmm. Somebody else needs to get an umbrella for their drinks! It says here that Angels of Pain avoided themselves. This is almost as good, or maybe it's better, than when the Dark Arena was avoiding teams down in Mazgourrah. I mean, how can they do this? Didn't the stewards notice? Huh, I went and actually looked, and it's TRUE. At least, I think it's true: It looks like Defiance and Dread DID avoid Angels of Pain, which is their own team. This is amazing, I didn't know it was even POSSIBLE. Flaming Flea got the most challenges, which I think is pretty weird. I mean, who wants to deal with fleas at ALL, much less flaming ones? Oh, well, what do I know, huh? Well, I know we had twenty-nine fights, with two standbys. Thirteen were challenge matches, one of them tv and the rest radio. Crysalis had a fairly long fight a couple of days ago, but our longest was six minutes, which is hardly there at all. Even though there were two at six minutes. So, the fights. I'm going to do this quick-and-not dirty, I mean, why be dirty on purpose? But with not much comment, okay? Not that I can't think of things to say, but the printer's devil will be along soon. So-- TYI VELWIC (56-2609) (18-33-0,57) of INCONSISTENT FURY fought ROSELLA (103-39) (26-25-0,100) of the College of Mimes. TYI VELWIC savagely defeated ROSELLA in a popular 6 minute gory match. I keep thinking Tyi is that stuff you wrap around houses. Guess not. MOSSIE ROCKTROLL (56-3549) (18-17-1,69) of INCONSISTENT FURY fought FALLING ROCK (29-4286) (34-55-0,85) of CARDOW HUNTERS. MOSSIE ROCKTROLL luckily beat FALLING ROCK in an action packed 2 minute gory duel. Wow, two rocks. They rocked. MAD DOG MONTANA (29-4984) (23-20-6,94) of STREET WALKERS fought WONDER BUBBLE (56-3522) (21-19-2,93) of INCONSISTENT FURY. MAD DOG MONTANA slimly won victory over WONDER BUBBLE in a popular 2 minute bout. This was kind of weird, but I'm not sure why. NAKHA ADIASO (56-2615) (25-31-0,146) of INCONSISTENT FURY fought STONETOOTH (29- 4560) (34-63-0,150) of CARDOW HUNTERS. NAKHA ADIASO savagely defeated STONETOOTH in an exciting 3 minute bloody fray. Oh, well. DAGA TERS (56-2627) (28-18-1,117) of INCONSISTENT FURY fought WILD THANG! (29- 2393) (22-17-0,122) of STREET WALKERS. DAGA TERS was demolished by WILD THANG! in an action packed 1 minute one-sided melee. I heard some people say we needed a leash law here. I don't think so. I mean, we have too many laws as it is, why have another? TWIG LITE ZONE (56-3537) (21-15-2,102) of INCONSISTENT FURY fought SEKHAT (7- 2251) (31-47-2,148) of CASTAWAYS. TWIG LITE ZONE lost to SEKHAT in a popular 1 minute fight. Heavy twigs next time. SISSY CHRISSY (29-1347) (34-29-3,170) of STREET WALKERS fought CEDAR (29-4319) (31-42-2,137) of CARDOW HUNTERS. SISSY CHRISSY vanquished CEDAR in a 1 minute one- sided match. I was thinking "home town match," but I don't think these two were in Lapur at the same time. ALE'CHAI TALLSKY (35-4026) (28-5-0,164) of PHILANTHROPISTS fought BLACK WOLF (29-4194) (49-49-1,146) of CARDOW HUNTERS. ALE'CHAI TALLSKY demolished BLACK WOLF in a 1 minute one-sided fight. So much for the Wolf's winning record. NATAS (11-6531) (41-24-0,201) of DO IT AGAIN fought THE QUICKLING (70-1669) (91- 209-3,151) of SCARLET KNIGHTS. NATAS viciously subdued THE QUICKLING in a crowd pleasing 2 minute gory fray. It's like the Quickling has *too much* experience. POINT (56-633) (40-51-1,210) of INCONSISTENT FURY fought GIMME SOME SUGAR (19- 4936) (23-16-0,169) of ARMY OF DARKNESS. POINT viciously subdued GIMME SOME SUGAR in a popular 2 minute gruesome match. Well, I did hear that Point is on one of those low-carb diets. You know how it is with people on diets, they want EVERYONE to be hungry right along with them. CORNELIUS (31-3485) (37-6-1,181) of CAESAR'S POOL HALL fought HATHU (103-32) (5- 1-0,250) of the College of Mimes. CORNELIUS was bested by HATHU in a popular 3 minute bout. I don't get this. We have mimes with ranks closer than 70 points, so why not bring in one of those? Make it even. KOOKABURRA (33-4151) (105-147-4,197) of GIRL SCOUT COOKIES fought JUDGE (56-119) (65-45-2,193) of INCONSISTENT FURY. KOOKABURRA was overpowered by JUDGE in a crowd pleasing 1 minute mismatched fight. Probably more diets. Dieting is at the root of a lot of today's troubles. RAORK ROKIOS (70-1526) (36-20-0,219) of ORKOGRE CASTLE fought MIMOSA (32-4294) (33-23-1,217) of PHILANTHROPISTS. RAORK ROKIOS was beaten by MIMOSA in an exciting 2 minute brutal match. Sometimes I wonder about you guys. Is this really philanthropy? I mean, I really do wonder. DREAM WEAVER (56-1959) (36-25-1,213) of INCONSISTENT FURY fought SMUG BUG (55- 2900) (88-161-0,190) of RHYME TYME. DREAM WEAVER was devastated by SMUG BUG in a popular 1 minute mismatched brawl. Well, darn. That Bug. DESERT GYPSY (56-2105) (34-20-3,236) of INCONSISTENT FURY fought ALDALDON (56- 3913) (31-19-1,219) of PHILANTHROPISTS. DESERT GYPSY unbelievably bested ALDALDON in an exciting 4 minute fray. I don't see why this is hard to believe. AIN GOBLINBANE (70-678) (55-26-1,256) of ECCENTRIC DWARVES fought JELIAH BIGABO (35-3676) (58-32-2,212) of PHILANTHROPISTS 3. AIN GOBLINBANE was handily defeated by JELIAH BIGABO in a 2 minute uneven fight. I figure everybody should have a couple of friends that are dwarves, to get things out from under the sofa, just like they should have some Shewish friends to get stuff off of high shelves. Make the most of natural talents. Oh, the challenge matches already! Well, time flies when you're having fun, I guess. GERMANICUS (17-6999) (20-7-1,78) of GLADIATORS challenged WEE MAN (19-5071) (17- 16-0,67) of CUNNING RUNTS. Down 11. GERMANICUS bested WEE MAN in a crowd pleasing 6 minute Challenge bout. Well, you know, Wee, sometimes cunning isn't enough. Sometimes you need a bigger hammer. NEEDS SALT (29-5206) (17-5-0,65) of BOHICA challenged QUINTUS (17-6913) (17-10- 3,67) of FIELDS OF ELYSIUM. Up 2. NEEDS SALT handily defeated QUINTUS in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge contest. It's the old "salt on the table" trick. Or maybe the salt goes on the tail. I never remember. LUCRETIUS (32-4687) (29-14-3,141) of ROMAN HEROES challenged JEO THE SONGSMITH (1-3260) (46-90-0,130) of BLUE EYRIE. Down 11. LUCRETIUS defeated JEO THE SONGSMITH in an exciting 4 minute bloody Challenge match. This is what happens when the audience doesn't like the music, see. ANTONIUS (19-5063) (24-12-0,139) of IDES OF MARCH challenged TALL TREE (29-4380) (25-78-0,125) of CARDOW HUNTERS. Down 14. ANTONIUS savagely defeated TALL TREE in an action packed 1 minute gory Challenge match. And life goes on. ENLIGHTENED BEING (26-4642) (37-19-0,203) of PHILANTHROPISTS challenged CORT NIGHTJEWEL (78-196) (117-143-0,203) of THE DRAGON FIST. Straight across. What they call a real Free Blades challenge. ENLIGHTENED BEING was overpowered by CORT NIGHTJEWEL in a 1 minute Challenge duel. Someday, Cort will get Inducted to Primus. DRIZZT (40-4146) (33-39-0,192) of PHILANTHROPISTS challenged FLAMING FLEA (70- 499) (31-31-2,193) of MIDNIGHT HOUR. Up 1. This is Flaming Flea the Most Challenged, remember. DRIZZT was vanquished by FLAMING FLEA in a 1 minute uneven Challenge duel. With some scorch marks where you wouldn't expect to see 'em. DREAD (32-4666) (26-11-0,189) of ANGELS OF PAIN challenged BARBARIAN KNIGHT (70- 565) (26-25-0,188) of DISPOSABLE HEROES. Down 1. DREAD was handily defeated by BARBARIAN KNIGHT in a 1 minute uneven Challenge fight. We aren't back to having two Barbarian Knights, are we? ARTEMIDORUS (17-6864) (52-9-1,190) of FIELDS OF ELYSIUM challenged NYZEIL OGLATA (17-6753) (33-21-1,181) of PHILANTHROPISTS. Down 9. ARTEMIDORUS bested NYZEIL OGLATA in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Challenge match. Well, of course. I heard there are actually FIVE of these Artemidoruses. JADRA (61-3379) (29-17-1,202) of PHILANTHROPISTS challenged HIMEY THE PIMP (29- 730) (46-35-1,204) of STREET WALKERS. Up 2. JADRA was devastated by HIMEY THE PIMP in a popular 1 minute uneven Challenge brawl. I'm not sure why this was popular. Sometimes it's hard to tell. CLAUDIUS (13-2860) (76-55-2,182) of I, CLAUDIUS challenged SUPERIOR FORCES (33- 4543) (122-175-3,193) of DUPLICATE REDUNDANCY. Up 11. CLAUDIUS devastated SUPERIOR FORCES in a popular 1 minute one-sided Challenge contest. And Supe didn't even notice, I bet. GOLEM (35-1485) (84-56-1,199) of THE PHILANTHROPISTS challenged GAZELLE (56- 3701) (68-81-0,237) of REDHORSE. Up 38. Wow! GOLEM subdued GAZELLE in an action packed 4 minute Challenge fight. Um... didn't these guys just fight? Or was it some other Redhorser who fought Golem last? JEANNE D'ARC (70-68) (33-23-0,214) of GORGEOUS GOBLINS challenged GOSSAMER (35- 3656) (57-44-1,230) of PHILANTHROPISTS 2. Up 16. JEANNE D'ARC was bested by GOSSAMER in an exciting 3 minute gruesome Challenge duel. I don't know Jeanne, is she new here? Great tan.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE Artemidorus -- The announcer said you're loyal to the Karnhorn Empire. You, a half- elf. Aren't the Karnhorns kind of hard on anyone who isn't of their race? Was the announcer exaggerating when he said you were loyal? -- Gazelle Ale'Chai Tallsky -- Yow! You're fairly alarming. I did not enjoy that. Well fought. -- Sekhat Lucretius -- I almost took that fight away from you. *shakes head* But you're very aggressive for an elf. -- Jeo the Songsmith P.S. I did ask you not to challenge me anymore. Please comply. Golem -- Despite your name, I'm pleased to note that you do have a sex. Did you get one since the previous turn? Gazelle named you Priscilla, but I guess you'll need to change your name now. How about Pete? And I'm sorry about the snotty comments during our fight. -- Nightcap A likely story! Claudius -- Not a surprise to see you, or to receive that challenge. -- Black Wolf Cornelius -- Yep. -- Stonetooth Antonius -- Same old thing. -- Tall Tree John Tyler -- I wish! -- Cedar Superchick -- That's amazing. -- Falling Rock P.S. It must be fate. 26 August 09 There has been a run lately of personals and columns turning up in the wrong arenas. When you email in something, check and make sure you have the correct arena number!
