THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM Reflections by the Lord-Marshall Greetings, my subjects! *cough* No, no, not really. I take that back. When you sit on the chair, your head starts to inflate. I fought Flesh Ripper. He's good at what he does, but he's vastly less experienced than I am. Honestly, I am wondering why I haven't gotten inducted as Gazelle did. I'm sure it will happen at the next split, though. After that, I think I might go into law enforcement. This Lord-Marshalling has given me a taste for it. I might stay here on the Isle, too. A nice thing about this place is that Lady Greywand's laws are pretty basic. There's nothing silly to enforce, like "don't spit on the street" or "don't smoke your socks." You just stop people from hurting other people. That's the life for me. Meanwhile, as I've mentioned before, it is HARD to find crimes in progress. Sometimes the constables know where they are, but they're still not sharing with me. When I'm a constable, I'll share with the Lord-Marshall. Well... my niece is here for a visit, so I have to go. Until next time, practice hard and obey the laws! Lord-Marshall Nightcap REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Much has changed in FREE BLADES since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. What's with MOSSROCK? He actually beat LUROCIAN ROYALTY's KING COREY, and walked away with 30 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at GREENWARDENS while they watched MOSSROCK clobber KING COREY. He lost 23 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. MARTIN BLANK was reminded on the sands why NIGHTCAP is Duelmaster. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough! If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of practive, DARKLINGS! In my day, no team with a 293-101-1 would scare me off! What's the problem, DEVIL ADVOCATES? What do people see in KOOKABURRA? Its 139-181-5? GIRL SCOUT COOKIES ain't talkin', but it's got 203 points. Keep challenging up 33 points, NOREASTER, and I won't have to write about you much longer. SMUG BUG always accepts those kind of challenges... NOREASTER did pretty good last week in beating SMUG BUG to get 10 points. Why did SMUG BUG lose, you ask? Simple: he wasn't good enough. KOOKABURRA didn't quite know what to make of a challenge it received from GIMME SOME SUGAR of ARMY OF DARKNESS, who is 22 points below it. GIMME SOME SUGAR perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he overcame KOOKABURRA and ended up with 220 recognition points. A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters don't accept this. The best do. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously! Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? Are you as tired of reading this as I am of writing it? Actually, I guess I'm writing it before you read it. Oh, well. I don't want to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen LORD-MARSHALL W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY NIGHTCAP 74-2745 217 132 399 DARKLINGS (1160) DAYLA KIV GRAND CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY NOREASTER 35-3896 44 26 1 234 DIRT DEVILS (1246) MURSKA GAZELLE 56-3701 111 106 232 REDHORSE (823) ROCANIS REM 74-2853 101 73 223 DARKLINGS (1160) DAYLA KIV ARGUMENT 64-3915 45 61 223 UNDER DURESS (743) KURUKAR GIMME SOME SUGAR 19-4936 62 44 220 ARMY OF DARKNESS (1296) ZUWAYZA SEKHAT 7-2251 52 94 3 217 CASTAWAYS (1301) BONSUR GRAND CHAMPIONS W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY LORD FIREFLASH 33-2966 62 55 1 210 LUROCIANS II (775) NIATOLI ISLAND MARTIN BLANK 82-28434 43 13 210 BLOOD TITANS (1347) DWES EG KOOKABURRA 33-4151 139 181 5 203 GIRL SCOUT COOKIES (1278) NIATOLI ISLAND BILBO BAGGINNI 9-5508 46 22 203 MIDDLE ITALY (1360) ZUKAL SERGE 32-3549 48 55 201 ASSORTED (578) ARVAT GARY M.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE I just couldn't do a spy report this time. Well, I know I didn't do one last time, either, but this time is a different reason. Because of the tourney, you know. I was keeping Olaf supplied with, um, supplies while he did the tourney spy report, at least part of it, and it just wore me out. Sorry. -- Debby T. Eep! I got inducted! Goodbye, cruel world! Hello, goats and chickens! -- Gazelle Flesh Ripper -- Um, I slipped and put a little more force into that blow than I intended. Sorry. Better luck next time. -- Nightcap Stump -- Yes! That was the win I needed. I'm sure I shall soon be inducted. -- Jeo the Songsmith Serge -- We old farts are kind of hard to get past, huh? -- Sandman Red Baron -- How did I beat you? I thought you were a much better fighter than I am. -- Sleepwalker Thrasher Malone -- Thanks. That was my last fight. It's nice to go into retirement with a win. -- Gazelle P.S. Because I got inducted. From now on, I'm a gentleman farmer. Machine -- You need to put up more of a defense. Work on riposting. -- Rem Savory -- Honestly, I was NOT attacking your face. I meant to hit lower down. Body. Really. It says so right on my form that the Commission gave me. It's just that your face kept suddenly being there. -- Sekhat LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS GIMME SOME SUGAR slimly won victory over KOOKABURRA in a 3 minute Challenge fight.
