                                 THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
                           Reflections by the Lord-Marshall

     People keep asking me where I get my Gladiator Name from.  Obviously my mother
didn't name me Noreaster.  Here's were it comes from.  Oh yeah.  I am infused with
the power of the hurricane.  All credit for this column goes to Wikipedia.  I'm not
sure what that is, but my manager told me to say that!

(The February 2013 nor'easter (also known as Winter Storm Nemo) was a powerful winter
storm that developed from the combination of two areas of low pressure primarily
affecting the Norheastern US resulting in heavy snowfall and hurricane-force winds.
The first low-pressure system, originating from the Northern Plains of the United
States, produced moderate amounts of snow across the Great Lakes.  The second low,
originating across the state of Texas produced heavy rains and flooding across much
of the country.  As the two systems merged off the Northeast coast on February 8,
2013, they produced heavy snowfall over a large region from Northern New Jersey and
inland from New York City through eastern New England up to coastal Maine and inland
to Ontario, Canada.

Total snowfall in Boston reached 24.9 inches (63 cm), the fifth-highest total ever
recorded in the city.  New York officially recorded 11.4 inches (29 cm) of snow at
Central Park.  The highest snowfall totals were in Connecticut, where the town of
Hamden recorded 40 inches (100 cm).  Many surrounding cities picked up at least 1
foot (30 cm).  In addition to the significant snowfall totals, hurricane-force wind
gusts were recorded, peaking at 89 mph (143 km/h) at Mount Desert Rock, Maine and 84
mph (135 km/h) off the coast of Massachusetts.  Boston experienced a storm surge of
4.2 ft (1.3 m), its fourth-highest.

At least fifteen deaths were attributed to the storm.)

That's a LOT of kills.  I haven't come close, though I'm only infused with the power
of the storm.

That's it.  So don't ask me where my name comes from again!

Noreaster, Lord Marshall

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     Okay, more snow.  Well, we can ski, I guess.  Or sit around a fire--INSIDE--in
great clothes and drink hot toddies with umbrellas in them.  And, like, talk about
the fights, if you want to.

     Biggest point gain, Pam Demonium, 43, for killing Lucifreya.  Stay out of alleys
for a while, Pam, because Luci is, like, totally mad at you.  Serge had the biggest
drop, 20 points.  Pooh, that's nothing.
     Darklings was most avoided, by Devil Advocates.  No surprise there, nobody but
the Dark One is doing real manager things here today.  Wooden Arrow got the most
challenges.
     We had twenty-five fights, which is kind of good, only four challenges, and four
standbys.

     PAM DEMONIUM (32-5551) (18-3-0,57) of DEVIL ADVOCATES fought LUCIFREYJA (103-40)
(19-21-1,90) of the College of Mimes.  PAM DEMONIUM assassinated LUCIFREYJA in a 2
minute brutal uneven match.  This is where Pam got the big points.
     COREY THE MOOSE (84-19615) (18-4-0,84) of DRAFT DODGERS fought LUCIFREYJA (103-
40) (19-21-1,90) of the College of Mimes.  COREY THE MOOSE overpowered LUCIFREYJA in
a 1 minute one-sided duel.  Well, of course, you know?  I mean, Luci had a
resurrection hangover already!
     LOATHING (97-4003) (15-8-4,90) of SPAWN OF DARKNESS fought ROSELLA (103-39) (26-
25-0,100) of the College of Mimes.  LOATHING demolished ROSELLA in an action packed 1
minute brutal one-sided fight.  I've been mad at Rosella sometimes, but I never
loathed her.
     TIA MATTE (32-5321) (30-18-0,160) of DEVIL ADVOCATES fought MOZART (35-3756)
(17-6-1,121) of PHILANTHROPISTS 3.  TIA MATTE vanquished MOZART in a popular 1 minute
mismatched fray.  Not a music person, I guess.
     ARGUMENT (64-3915) (58-70-0,178) of UNDER DURESS fought ERTL WISESTAFF (84-7570)
(16-8-1,115) of PHILANTHROPISTS17.  ARGUMENT demolished ERTL WISESTAFF in a 1 minute
uneven bout.  Wow, the handicapper is being, like, totally unfair today!  Over and
over again.

     FLESH RIPPER (74-3375) (45-28-2,171) of LUROCIANS XI fought STUMP (15-4882) (35-
92-0,132) of GREENWARDENS.  FLESH RIPPER overpowered STUMP in a 1 minute uneven
fight.  I didn't know stumps had flesh.
     SAVORY (32-4143) (52-49-1,175) of DEAD WE SUCK fought ZEBZAMBEZI (35-3581) (17-
12-3,124) of PHILANTHROPISTS.  SAVORY overpowered ZEBZAMBEZI in a crowd pleasing 1
minute mismatched conflict.  Maybe it's because of the bookies wanting sure things to
bet on?
     S. MARY ROSE (78-2313) (83-89-2,192) of HABIT fought MAKADOS (29-4704) (27-13-
0,179) of PHILANTHROPISTS.  S. MARY ROSE savagely defeated MAKADOS in an exciting 2
minute brutal bout.  It'd be kind of interesting to know who has hidden tourney
fights, wouldn't it?
     WHITEBRAID (15-2110) (49-87-1,183) of GREENWARDENS fought REPUGNANT (97-3677)
(26-17-4,166) of SONS OF SATAN.  WHITEBRAID devastated REPUGNANT in a 1 minute one-
sided fight.  With one of those spray deodorants.
     ALDALDON (56-3913) (40-32-1,194) of PHILANTHROPISTS fought ROBIN OF SHEW-WOOD
(103-33) (1-0-1,220) of the College of Mimes.  ALDALDON was unbelievably bested by
ROBIN OF SHEW-WOOD in a 2 minute bout.  That's the fourth standby, I think, and their
only win.

     KOOKABURRA (33-4151) (154-188-5,206) of GIRL SCOUT COOKIES fought REDTHORN (15-
4943) (42-55-0,192) of GREENWARDENS.  KOOKABURRA vanquished REDTHORN in an action
packed 1 minute mismatched bout.  You really have to wonder about that handicapper,
don't you?  He says he will match fights "however he has to" until he sells all his
cookies.
     FLY SWATTER (20-2660) (43-22-1,207) of PHILANTHROPISTS fought REM (74-2853)
(117-79-0,191) of DARKLINGS.  FLY SWATTER was overpowered by REM in a popular 1
minute mismatched conflict.  Hard to swat someone who's always twitching.
     SERGE (32-3549) (54-71-0,205) of ASSORTED fought SMUG BUG (55-2900) (132-207-
0,190) of RHYME TYME.  SERGE was devastated by SMUG BUG in a crowd pleasing 1 minute
one-sided battle.  Serge dropped twenty points for this, and he SHOULD.  He was all
SET to squash that Bug, but he chickened out.
     ABSOLUTION (32-5301) (29-9-3,190) of ANGELS OF PAIN fought CONTROVERSY (64-3914)
(59-69-1,171) of UNDER DURESS.  ABSOLUTION subdued CONTROVERSY in a crowd pleasing 1
minute competition.  Does that work?
     MARTIN BLANK (82-28434) (60-18-0,221) of BLOOD TITANS fought SEKHAT (7-2251)
(58-110-3,194) of CASTAWAYS.  MARTIN BLANK viciously subdued SEKHAT in a popular 4
minute brutal bout.  Some days it's hard being a cat.

     BILBO BAGGINNI (9-5508) (61-28-1,291) of MIDDLE ITALY fought RED BARON (33-1092)
(79-74-3,249) of LUROCIANS II.  BILBO BAGGINNI defeated RED BARON in an exciting 2
minute fight.  Well, of course!  This is totally NOT the day of the underdog.
     GIMME SOME SUGAR (19-4936) (74-53-0,219) of ARMY OF DARKNESS fought PATIENCE
(35-2005) (34-27-1,198) of PHILANTHROPISTS.  GIMME SOME SUGAR defeated PATIENCE in an
action packed 2 minute duel.  Next time, no sugar.
     NYZEIL OGLATA (17-6753) (42-30-1,218) of PHILANTHROPISTS fought TREEFROG (15-
4177) (37-63-0,198) of GREENWARDENS.  NYZEIL OGLATA vanquished TREEFROG in a 1 minute
uneven duel.  Another case of the tongue strike not working.
     THE LION KING (35-4124) (15-4-0,214) of IN THE JUNGLE fought SLEEPWALKER (74-
2843) (72-128-1,190) of DARKLINGS.  THE LION KING defeated SLEEPWALKER in an action
packed 2 minute melee.  You know, Sleepwalker should have a better record.  That's
what *I* think.
     DRIZZT (40-4146) (43-48-0,266) of PHILANTHROPISTS fought LORD FIREFLASH (33-
2966) (76-63-1,207) of LUROCIANS II.  DRIZZT beat LORD FIREFLASH in a crowd pleasing
2 minute brawl.  Oh, well.  That's the last "random" match, at least.  Except for the
title fight, which is different anyway.

The challenges:
     HEADLESS NORSEMAN (33-7758) (21-9-0,145) of HALLOWIENERS challenged MOSSROCK
(15-4871) (50-68-2,142) of GREENWARDENS.  Down 3.  HEADLESS NORSEMAN was overpowered
by MOSSROCK in a 1 minute Challenge match.  Oops!
     DONKEY HOTAY (19-5187) (22-2-1,143) of MAN OR BEAST? challenged MANIPULATOR (64-
3490) (49-98-6,117) of UNDER DURESS.  Down 26, I think.  DONKEY HOTAY bested
MANIPULATOR in a popular 1 minute Challenge contest.  Sure.
     SEGUE (13-5394) (25-13-0,195) of THE DEVIL'S OWN challenged WOODEN ARROW (15-
4619) (43-60-0,186) of GREENWARDENS.  Down 9.  SEGUE handily defeated WOODEN ARROW in
a 1 minute one-sided Challenge match.  For this the Arrow was most challenged?
Probably just a double-challenge.
     GARY M. REAPER (32-2502) (89-52-1,194) of DEVIL ADVOCATES challenged SANDMAN
(74-2896) (74-110-3,202) of DARKLINGS.  Up 8.  GARY M. REAPER was devastated by
SANDMAN in a 4 minute mismatched Challenge fight.  Nap time!

For the title, a random match:
     NOREASTER (35-3896) (60-29-2,364) of DIRT DEVILS fought NIGHTCAP (74-2745) (236-
135-0,248) of DARKLINGS.  NOREASTER lost to NIGHTCAP in a crowd pleasing 1 minute
Title fight.  Thanks to Noreaster for doing a column.  I'm a little surprised
Nightcap wasn't inducted, you know?  Maybe in a couple of months.  Anyway,
congratulations.  Now YOU get to do a column.

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Gimme Some Sugar -- No. -- Sekhat

Red Baron -- Wow!  I'm impressed. -- Rem

Serge -- Thanks for taking my advice about giving up.  I didn't want to hurt you
more. -- Nightcap

Argument -- Did they get that lung all patched up? -- Sandman

Fly Swatter -- That was no surprise.  And yet it spellbinded the spectators.  They're
easily amused, aren't they? -- Sleepwalker

     Both of them.

Noreaster -- I'm glad I'm from Malcorn instead of Murska.  I might never have
survived if you'd been around then. -- Treefrog
P.S.  Your armor tastes odd.  You might want to have it checked.

     Is that from the tongue-strike?

Segue -- (sigh) -- Wooden Arrow

Gary M. Reaper -- No, I should NOT dye my hair, the very idea! -- Whitebraid

The Lion King -- Yeah, yeah, it happens.  But what doesn't happen so often is:  I'M
MAXED!  Maybe I can train stats now.  Not that it matters to my fighting, but it
would be pleasant to see something new instead of that blank space at the bottom of
my fights. -- Redthorn

Headless Norseman -- Huh, I'd think you'd have some SYMPATHY for me, after all, YOU
have a stump for a neck, but noooo.  Well, okay, you probably couldn't SEE me, what
with having no head. -- Stump

Tia Matte -- ME, do tongue-strikes?  I should hope not! -- Mossrock
