REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Warriors of the Federation, a warm Solstice greeting to you! According to my information, the split has happened so if you managed to stay in Darkholm we've got you for another few months. (smiling) And very welcome you all are! Well, Dr. Dazzle didn't hold onto the Runeblade very long, did he? ROB A. REE (39-3241) (44-29-1,240) of CRIMINAL ELEMENT challenged DR DAZZLE (57-4485) (70-33- 2,241) of PEPPER PRACTICE II. ROB A. REE subdued DR DAZZLE in an exciting 1 minute gory Lunger vs. Lunger duel. Dr. Dazzle was our most challenged warrior this turn, which is very honorable. Congratulations to Rob A. Ree and I hope to see a column from you next turn. We still haven't seen a Keeper's column since Doone. Who is the manager of Wasteland, Cementia, Flat Broke, etc.? Still the Muffin Man, right? Because I want to commend you on using all of your tools. You were the only manager to post avoids this turn. Oddly, you avoided our very last-ranked team and our very first. Our one and only Tournament Victor challenge was made by Numbered One, of Assur's guild. NUMBERED WON (18-7434) (30-31-0,157) of NEXT GENERATION TV challenged TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (95-106-0,187) of DELVERS. The dangerous Aimed Blow Practitioner was devastated by TOLAIS DEEPHEART in a 1 minute Challenge fight. Very well done, Tolais. You'll fight your way back up to a winning record before you know it. Only one man died today, and he wasn't a Delarquan. PEON NECROMANCER (18-7856) (22-16-4,74) of SRETSAMLEUD fought COCKY SPECTATOR (104-3) (0-0-0,0) of ARENA STAND- INS. PEON NECROMANCER executed COCKY SPECTATOR in a popular 1 minute one-sided fight. Crack is Cheap became our overall popularity leader. WHIRLING DOG (10-4177) (68-35-1,196) of MONGREL HORDE fought CRACK IS CHEAP (82-18422) (28-11-0,172) of NEGATIVE CASH FLOW. WHIRLING DOG viciously subdued CRACK IS CHEAP in a popular 4 minute brutal contest. In a definite "scum sympathy" vote, Dusky Jawfish was voted this turn's most popular warrior. DUSKY JAWFISH (18-6978) (48-53-1,204) of BIG MEAN FISH fought ETCHED IN STONE (61-3112) (51-24-1,205) of CEMENTIA. DUSKY JAWFISH was outlasted by ETCHED IN STONE in an action packed 10 minute fight. Tsk tsk. No one thought Men Working looked very competent out on the sands this turn. We all have days like that. Anyway, MW was voted this turn's least popular warrior. MY1STADMWARRIOR (37-4668) (24-10-1,93) of SRETSAMLEUD fought MEN WORKING (38-4189) (29-61-1,43) of JUST BECAUSE. MY1STADMWARRIOR vanquished MEN WORKING in a 1 minute mismatched duel. Congratulations to My1st. Our longest fight wasn't very long at all. SUPER BUM (82-18411) (30-13-0,186) of FLAT BROKE fought A DIFFERENT GRAPE (82-1258) (44-38-1,193) of MY WIFE'S COSMETICS. SUPER BUM was viciously subdued by A DIFFERENT GRAPE in a 16 minute bout. I miss those days when A Different Grape and Etched in Stone would go for an endurance record every turn. There was always time to go to the ladies' room if you needed to. You can't even get in there in 16 minutes, there's always a line. Those two fine defensive warriors are certainly in range of each other. I guess they got bored with each other, though. My friends, have a Merry Christmas and a most happy and prosperous New Year!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN COCKY SPECTATOR 104-3 0 1 0 1 PEON NECROMANCER 18-78 390 PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE Everyone -- May your holidays be filled with warmth and love. -- Desiree (not my real name) Tolais Deepheart -- Yes, I may have gotten lucky and TC'd, but I'm still barely more than a Freshman. Had Assur thought I was going to TC, he would have done things much much differently, but I'm still his number one! And that means I need to keep on learning those skills! That's your job and I must compliment you on the wonderful job you're doing! -- Numbered Won Sultan -- Numbered Won is just the luckiest warrior perhaps ever (certainly under my management). Certainly I am not by any means an Aimed Blow expert. But in two TC runs, he has gotten 14 of the required 24 victories at the expense of TP Scum. It almost felt like the Rookies tournament all over again. But to *wish* he were yours seems a bit overboard to me. He isn't anywhere near as good as you imagine. -- Assurnasirbanipal Numbered Won -- I am glad for you that you have a TV. Congratulations. But having a TV doesn't mean you can beat an old battleaxe like me. -- Tolais Deepheart Dusky Jawfish -- I find the concept of FISH in the arena to be TOTALLY repellant. It is simply WRONG that a fish should be on the sands and not be dying. I hope that this wrongness will be CORRECTED by other gladiators at every chance! -- Life of Osksi P.S. It's even WORSE that a Fish should have a gender when *I* do not. P.P.S. (shuddering) The teeth that bite, the jaws that snap.... Threnody -- How come every time I swung at you, you were like mist, and when you swung at me, it was the "blades" part of your team name that hit me? This seems unfair. Not that life is fair (especially Life of Osksi), but still. It's...it's cunning, is what it is! -- Mucker, just a humble mining golem P.S. I don't do cunning very well. Shiny Penny -- And a merry Yule back AT you. Thanks, I really enjoyed our match. I'm sorry I couldn't teach you anything, but could I at least buy you a beer? -- Maginot Mike Hmm, nobody in THIS guildhouse is being Inducted. Why am I not surprised? -- Nick 11 November 2004 All you alliance-type people, I'm trying (again!) to get my alliance listing correct and up to date. Either send me a diplo (address it to The Saint) or send your updates to me directly at Sue at solberg-mathews.com. As you may guess, replace the at with @ and you're good to go (I do hate spammy mail and this will end up on the web). I have information on the following alliances: ADIO, Allied Axis, Armada, Brotherhood of Justice, Brotherhood of the Blade, Cadre, CDC, Chaos, Inc., Circle of Order, Company of Brothers, Consortium, Council of Lords, Couple Good Guys, Crimson Vengeance, DOA, DOOMcorps, Enigmafia, Eurosquad, Fascist Federation, FONZ, Frothingslosh Syndicate, GAPPDA, Homeland Alliance, IT Alliance, Jingoists, kLk, Knights of the Covenant, LBA, League Arcane, Legion6, Living Essences, Lords and Ladies of Darkness, Manic Union, Midnight Foundation, Minions of Diana, Monarchs of Montezuma, NCA, NIMROD, R.A.G.E., Seventh Sons, The Firm, The French Connection, Vendett@ United, and the Vendetta Cartel. If you are a member of one of these alliances, let me know. If you are a member of some other alliance that isn't listed, let me know. If you were at any point in your past a part of one of these alliance but are now independent, also let me know. Going inactive doesn't mean you get removed from this list; people are assumed to still be in the same alliance when they return. Even having everyone in an alliance go inactive doesn't change anything. If an alliance is officially disbanding, that's another thing you have to let me know.... The Saint, keeper of lists P.S. If you already responded to my online plea (and I replied), you can ignore this. 17 November 2004 Hammer 500-Hammer Run for the Roll Ups Hosted by Hammer Niytyole Island DM 33 has dwindled to the point where as of T-482 [duedate November 3, 2004] there were only 2 active stables listed with 3 inactive stables in a once thriving and lively regular arena. During the past 40+ cycles Hammer has been hosting the Hammer Run for the Roll Ups in DM 33. Thus far only the Ripper and Slasher categories have produced winners to claim the 5 New Team Roll Ups Prize for being the first declared Style Master of their respective categories to graduate. Every contending stable has gone inactive for one reason or another, including CASINO HAMMERZ, over the past several months. Now DM 33 faces the harsh reality that if RSI chooses to close any arenas due to little or no interest, Niytyole Island could very well head the list of endangered regular arenas! In an effort to preserve his beloved island, Hammer is announcing the continuation of the Hammer Run for the Roll Ups; combined with the Hammer 500 which will conclude both contests on T-500 [duedate July 13, 2005] should DM 33 continue to remain open in the coming months. Attention Hammer Runners! The Hammer Run is for 0 FE Basic Arena Warriors ONLY. Participants MUST Be Declared in the P-ads On or Before their First DM 33 Basic Arena Fight to Qualify as a Hammer Runner! Winners of Each Category will receive 5 New Team Roll Up Gift Certificates mailed from RSI courtesy of Hammer! [On the condition that they Graduate on or before T-500; see amended rules below!] The following Style Master categories remain open with a listing of how many declared contestants are still entered and their W/L recognition record at the time of their disappearance from the Hammer Run competition: (P-ad declarations in parenthesis) [Manager name/Stable name in brackets] followed by their last known W/L recognition ranking Rippers Category Now Closed for Hammer Run as of T-475 01.

Any declared warrior who succeeds in graduating by T-500 will win 5 New Team Roll Ups Gift Certificates mailed from RSI courtesy of Hammer! Gift Certs will be awarded as soon as possible upon official graduation if the graduation occurs prior to T-500. On T-500 the highest ranked ACTIVE declared warrior in the category(s) without a Graduate will win 2 New Team Roll Ups Gift Certificates mailed from RSI courtesy of Hammer! Additional Hammer 500-Hammer Run for the Roll Ups Gift Cert Prizes: Five (5) Gift Certs will be awarded to the manager whose warrior claims the Duelmaster Throne on T-500.

In the event that NO Duelmaster is seated upon the Duelmaster Throne on T-500 there will be Three (3) Gift Certs awarded to the managers whose Active warriors are tied for recognition points at the Top of the Challenger Champions recognition standings. [Therefore, the Top CC will be awarded 3 Gift Certs instead of 2 for being ranked as the highest CC on T-500]. One (1) Gift Cert will be awarded to the manager(s) whose warrior(s) graduate on T-500. One (1) Gift Cert will be awarded to the manager(s) whose warrior(s) receive their graduation announcement on T-500.

SHOULD RSI CHOOSE TO CLOSE DM 33 PRIOR TO T-500 ONLY THE HIGHEST ACTIVE DECLARED STYLE MASTER CONTESTANTS WILL BE AWARDED TWO (2) GIFT CERTS AND ALL OTHER PRIZE CATEGORIES WILL BE DECLARED NULL AND VOID BY HAMMER!!!!!!!!! The purpose of this contest is to restore DM 33 to a lively and entertaining arena! Hammer is willing to foot the Prize bill in a last ditch effort to save Niytyole Island from deletion if RSI and the Gladiatorial Commission decide that more arenas need to be closed due to lack of participation and interest. Should this effort fail to spare DM 33 from deletion, then Hammer is prepared to transfer CASINO HAMMERZ to another arena if Niytyole Island is closed by RSI and the Gladiatorial Commission.
