THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
Reflections by the Lord-Marshall
Here I am again!
It was nice to get a break from column writing... and, you know, the job of
sitting up here and looking grand. Grand... and old. I may not look old, thanks to
Greywand's immortality, but I feel it in my head. Been here a lot of years. And I'm
tired of mist, fog, and cold. The Isle of the Eye is just too far north for me. And
I'd like to try fishing in a lake where, if you catch something, it isn't a magical
mutant.
I did not think I'd ever hear myself saying (or writing) that I'm an old man. I
guess youth is an attitude, and I've, temporarily at least, lost it. Hmm...
daydreaming here... what would it take to make me feel young? A beautiful lady
friend, maybe. Or two? No, two wouldn't work out. And that's the wisdom of age
throwing a wet blanket on that idea, darn it. Maybe I should take up a craft, or an
art. I've always envied people who can play the lute. Yeah, yeah.... I'll take lute
lessons from a beautiful woman with whom I will fall in love. A problem with that is
that I'm going to stay physically young... so she'd better be a Lady Protector, I
guess. Someone who is willing to go and live in Lirith Kai. And who teaches the
lute. This could take some searching! But I'm in the right arena for it, eh?
Feeling younger already!
Lord Marshall Nightcap
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Okay, this is, like, another time to be fast and skimpy with the report. This
time it's because we're Freezing, and the clerks want this DONE as fast as I can do
it. I'm not feeling, you know, any kind of fast today, but I'll do my best.
Fight with the most point movements: Mozart up 42, Savory down 33.
A green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.
Darklings was most avoided, by Devil Advocates.
Mossrock was most challenged.
Twenty-three fights, eight challenges, three standbys, and two cases of
frostbitten toes in the stands. Sometimes you have to wear closed shoes, even if you
don't want to. At least, sometimes you should.
The challenges only, because of being in a rush:
HEADLESS NORSEMAN (33-7758) (21-10-0,133) of HALLOWIENERS challenged STUMP (15-
4882) (35-93-0,137) of GREENWARDENS. Up 4. HEADLESS NORSEMAN vanquished STUMP in an
action packed 1 minute uneven Challenge fight.
DONKEY HOTAY (19-5187) (23-2-1,145) of MAN OR BEAST? challenged MANIPULATOR (64-
3490) (49-99-6,124) of UNDER DURESS. Down 21. DONKEY HOTAY won victory over
MANIPULATOR in an action packed 2 minute Challenge duel.
REPUGNANT (97-3677) (26-18-4,160) of SONS OF SATAN challenged MAKADOS (29-4704)
(27-14-0,177) of PHILANTHROPISTS. Up 17. REPUGNANT devastated MAKADOS in a 1 minute
one-sided Challenge competition.
TIA MATTE (32-5321) (31-18-0,167) of DEVIL ADVOCATES challenged MOSSROCK (15-
4871) (51-68-2,160) of GREENWARDENS. Down 7. TIA MATTE devastated MOSSROCK in a
crowd pleasing 1 minute one-sided Challenge duel.
NOREASTER (35-3896) (60-30-2,210) of DIRT DEVILS challenged SMUG BUG (55-2900)
(133-207-0,206) of RHYME TYME. Down 4. NOREASTER overpowered SMUG BUG in a crowd
pleasing 1 minute one-sided Challenge fight.
ABSOLUTION (32-5301) (30-9-3,193) of ANGELS OF PAIN challenged WOODEN ARROW (15-
4619) (43-61-0,181) of GREENWARDENS. Down 12. ABSOLUTION won victory over WOODEN
ARROW in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Challenge brawl.
GIMME SOME SUGAR (19-4936) (75-53-0,230) of ARMY OF DARKNESS challenged SANDMAN
(74-2896) (75-110-3,232) of DARKLINGS. Up 2. GIMME SOME SUGAR devastated SANDMAN in
a 2 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
Yes, I know. No comments. My brain is tired, okay?
For the title:
BILBO BAGGINNI (9-5508) (62-28-1,302) of MIDDLE ITALY challenged NIGHTCAP (74-
2745) (237-135-0,270) of DARKLINGS. Down 32. BILBO BAGGINNI savagely defeated
NIGHTCAP in a 2 minute Challenge Title melee. So Nightcap doesn't have to do another
column, and he can go find a lute teacher and get young again. This is probably
good.

AVOIDS, BLOODFEUDS, & CHALLENGES
by Pagan
Ever wonder how the whole challenge/avoid thing works?
Who you fight depends on exactly how it works. We will never know exactly how it
works unless we can get a look at the coding for the program, but this is how I think
it works:
The Situation:
The system allows a warrior to make two separate challenges and two distinct
avoids.
Avoids are distinct in that they MUST indicate a specific team to be avoided, so
a "double avoid" indicates a single team twice, which by default means you are
avoiding one team. In this case, the second avoid is a duplicate and therefore a
waste of an avoid.
Challenges are to specific warriors. You have a first challenge, and then you
have a second challenge.
The Process:
First the computer removes all Dark Arena challengers from the list of available
warriors.
Second, the computer checks for WHO fights WHO by going though all TVs and
bloodfeuds, which are 100% sure to go through except in four instances:
1. the warrior challenged does not fight,
2. the warrior challenged is also making a bloodfeud or TV challenge and that
challenge has already been assigned,
3. the warrior has already been assigned to a Dark Arena fight,
4. that warrior has declared your team to be one of his warrior's avoids,
reducing your challenge to 50%.
Third, the computer assesses all the regular first-challenge warriors and assigns
fights. All other challenges are at 100% chance of success except in a few instances:
warrior challenged is going to the DA, warrior challenged is involved in a previously
assigned challenge, warrior challenged is not running this turn, or warrior challenged
has avoided your team at 50% chance to avoid.
Fourth, the computer assesses and assigns all secondary challenges of warriors
not so far assigned for bloodfeuds and TVs.
Fifth, the computer assesses and assigns all the regular second challenges.
Sixth, the computer assigns random matchups in each available class starting with
the highest class first.
Seventh, the computer finds the remaining warriors that have successfully avoided
all first and second challenges and/or who also did not get randomly assigned, AND for
whom no more available warriors remain in their class for random pairing. All of
these warriors get RSI-generated warriors to fight based on their class.
So, if I'm right and avoids reduce the chance for a challenge to 50%, then:
In the absence of an avoid
single challenge = 100% success
double challenge = 100% success, then an additional 100% success
Where an avoid is involved
single challenge vs avoid = 50% success
double challenge vs avoid = 75% (chance to avoid is 0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25; 1 -
0.25 = 75% chance to succeed
Bloodfeuds and TVs may increase the percentage chance of success above 100%, or
they may not. I feel that their increased ability to get through is based solely on
the way the computer assigns challenges. They are first, so they are most likely to
go through. The 100% chance for a challenge to succeed is 100% if it's a TV bloodfeud
and you are the first one to get assigned a fight that day because you are also the
Duelmaster. But after that the chances start to diminish rapidly.
The run-through for second challenges theoretically means your challenge should
be 100% but it's not the case if you are the LAST guy the computer goes to for finding
challenges.
If you don't double challenge, you significantly lower your chance to get your
challenge through. The second challenge is not equal to the first challenge.
