REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Warriors of the Federation!
Congratulations to Evil Elmo, our Tournament Victor, who used his challenge, and
won his fight. Yes, Doc was ranked two points below him, but he had more wins and
more fights than Evil Elmo. And it was certainly a good fight! EVIL ELMO (99-1222)
(75-38-4,204) of TWISTED SESAME TV challenged DOC STEELE (18-6010) (98-177-6,202) of
ARROGANCE. EVIL ELMO bested DOC STEELE in a crowd pleasing 3 minute gruesome
Challenge fight. Evil is, of course, our premier Wall of Steel, and a very fine
specimen he is. *smiling*
There were fourteen challenge fights in Darkholm today. Well done! It's good
to see some signs of life in this arena. And I'm going to feature all of the
challenge fights in the spyreport today!
TWIG (82-25226) (63-42-0,208) of POWER PLAY challenged ??RADAR?? (82-20310) (39-
56-1,213) of DYSLEXICS UNTIE! II. TWIG narrowly defeated ??RADAR?? in an exciting 3
minute gory Challenge melee. Well done!
HATCH BATTENER (1-8014) (28-20-1,194) of SEA DOGS challenged MASOCHISTIC NEWT
(62-1081) (35-37-3,197) of DEATH MOB. HATCH BATTENER was vanquished by MASOCHISTIC
NEWT in a 1 minute Challenge brawl. Masochistic Newt is our Top Striker! Well done,
sir.
PRISONER ZC01 (13-4876) (30-11-1,197) of DUNGEON CELL ZC3 challenged THE
IMPECCABLE PIG (5-3818) (48-50-0,196) of JUST DON'T CARE. PRISONER ZC01 defeated THE
IMPECCABLE PIG in an exciting 1 minute Challenge fight. Hmm. Was anyone surprised?
BALLAST (1-7727) (28-35-0,180) of SEA DOGS challenged GREASY NAPKINS (82-10156)
(28-25-0,171) of REAL PIZZA FLAVOR. BALLAST was devastated by GREASY NAPKINS in a
popular 3 minute uneven Challenge brawl. Bit of an upset there.
HORTATOR (1-7791) (28-28-3,173) of SEA DOGS challenged BRICKTOP (18-7955) (67-
68-0,166) of WASTELAND. HORTATOR savagely defeated BRICKTOP in a crowd pleasing 3
minute gory Challenge brawl. NOT an upset. *sigh*
MAKESHIFT ANCHOR (1-7724) (32-33-0,170) of SEA DOGS challenged SMELL CAREFULLY
(18-8889) (34-58-2,157) of STREET PIZZA. MAKESHIFT ANCHOR was viciously subdued by
SMELL CAREFULLY in a 3 minute melee. Whoops!
MAST MONKEY (21-6158) (17-9-2,131) of SEA DOGS challenged MEN WORKING (38-4189)
(43-144-1,119) of JUST BECAUSE. MAST MONKEY vanquished MEN WORKING in an action
packed 1 minute uneven Challenge fight. Well. Hot-shot young guy down-challenges a
weary old has-been.
PRISONER 0118 (82-33748) (20-47-0,144) of DUNGEON CELL 24 challenged THAT GUY
(97-2120) (23-15-3,142) of DIE, MOFO, DIE IV. PRISONER 0118 savagely defeated THAT
GUY in an action packed 8 minute Challenge match. This was kind of a brave
challenge, I thought. Since That Guy has a much better record.
MISS TEAK (1-8015) (26-22-1,53) of SEA DOGS challenged MIAMI MIA (7-4818) (21-
56-3,59) of BEACH BABES. MISS TEAK defeated MIAMI MIA in an exciting 1 minute
Challenge match. Mia is our top Parry-Striker, by the way. And the spectators
always like a girl-on-girl fight, for some reason.
PEG LEG (36-6196) (22-16-0,80) of SEA DOGS challenged DEATH MAGE (62-2115) (17-
7-1,77) of DEATH MOB. PEG LEG was devastated by DEATH MAGE in a 1 minute mismatched
Challenge conflict. Even though he lost, Peg Leg is our top Parry-Lunger. A
difficult style to master, is it not? Judging by the fact Peg Leg was runner-up to
the Least Popular award this turn, I guess the spectators don't think he's mastered
his style yet.
PRISONER 0103 (82-33733) (23-56-0,52) of DUNGEON CELL 21 challenged BEACH BETTY
(7-5768) (27-43-0,78) of BEACH BABES. PRISONER 0103 was demolished by BEACH BETTY in
a 2 minute one-sided Challenge brawl. That was surprising, wasn't it?
PARROT KEEPER (21-6157) (24-9-2,82) of SEA DOGS challenged MARV JR (18-9288) (8-
1-0,75) of WASTELAND. PARROT KEEPER was overpowered by MARV JR in a 1 minute one-
sided Challenge duel. Whew! I assume Marv Jr. is a Bloodgamer. And, it seems, a
very able one! Because the more experienced Parrot Keeper is no pushover.
PATCH (36-7297) (15-9-0,44) of SEA DOGS challenged TALLAHASSE TINA (7-4889) (17-
74-0,42) of BEACH BABES. PATCH lost to TALLAHASSE TINA in an exciting 1 minute
Challenge fray. Tina was this turn's most challenged warrior, no doubt because
fighting her looks like an easy win. Let this be a lesson. There's nothing easy
about fighting a Lord Protector with nearly four times your experience.
Once again, our Keeper of the Runeblade failed to challenge (or write a column).
NEOSPHINCTER (18-7317) (107-38-1,500) of WASTELAND fought CHIEF STORMCLOUD (51-4306)
(40-18-1,235) of RAINDANCE. NEOSPHINCTER devastated CHIEF STORMCLOUD in a popular 2
minute mismatched Title brawl. I hardly think it could have been a difficult fight.
Look at their records. Neo had over twice the recognition, and 145 fights to Chief's
58. Neo COULD have challenged Hailstorm, with a record of 68-26-1-364. That would
have been less unfair, don't you think? Maybe Neosphincter was afraid.
No one died. No one avoided.
Even the fake Dirk Cholera who fights as a stand-in, is hard to beat. That's
what Crack is Cheap, our Overall Popularity Leader, discovered this turn. CRACK IS
CHEAP (82-18422) (59-78-0,207) of NEGATIVE CASH FLOW fought DIRK CHOLERA (104-29)
(80-50-4,250) of STAND-IN VICTIMS. CRACK IS CHEAP was devastated by DIRK CHOLERA in
a 2 minute gruesome mismatched match.
This turn's favorite is Gateway. 5 GOT PICKED (41-4199) (45-18-2,209) of
072905R fought GATEWAY (82-15631) (48-37-0,207) of ATTACK OF THE CLONES. 5 GOT
PICKED viciously subdued GATEWAY in an exciting 5 minute bloody battle. It didn't
look to me like Gateway was scummed. Were you, Gateway?
And...getting beaten by one of the less dangerous stand-ins is not a great
introduction to Darkholm, is it? SHEWISH WHALER (18-9272) (22-11-1,78) of SEA DOGS
fought BOOKIE'S GUARD (104-5) (35-18-0,75) of STAND-IN VICTIMS. SHEWISH WHALER was
demolished by BOOKIE'S GUARD in a 1 minute one-sided conflict. That's why the Whaler
was voted This Turn's Least Popular Warrior. Tsk tsk. Try to do better next time.
Well...I believe that's it. Thank you, one and all, for participating in this
turn's fights. See you in two weeks!

Men Working -- They always say that. Prove it. -- Aloha Alice
P.S. Fortunately, there was room on the back of the fight report to do a printhead

crushing. -- Beach Betty

Participating managers who are not Captains must:
1. Submit one (1) RSI Roll-Up Certificate to participate
2. Announce their intent to compete with manager name, team name, and

Name-Change-O-Rama
The summer tourney brought a lot of people to the Isle who didn't appear there
normally. This included Commission employees. Half a dozen arenamasters regarded
each other warily in the mirror behind the bar at the Pig in a Haystack. The Pig was
obscure and mediocre, drawing few gladiators, which is what they had all been looking
for. They saw gladiators every day. Most arenamaster were convinced that this was
some kind of punishment.
You could always pick out the arenamasters in a crowd. There were superficial
differences: One of these had clearly Adantri features, one wore an eye-patch, two
were female. But there were, in significant ways, alike. The same size, the same
hair-trigger alertness, the same deadliness.
The one-eyed man broke the ice, raising his beer mug in salute. "I'm Zrof One-
Eye from Zukal. Sugar of Arvat--" One of the women bowed slightly. "I know Sugar.
The rest of you...?"
The Adantri matched his salute. "Dernal of Dayla Kiv."
"Daiyla Kiv? Ah...."
"No, without the 'I' in it. These damned bureaucrats can't spell, and they
thought adding an unnecessary vowel was exotic." Disgust dripped from his voice.
"Tell me about it!" another man growled in agreement. "Khagal of Niatoli, and
what they do to the spelling of THAT simple word--!"
"I thought Daiyla, I mean Dayla Kiv had a different name right now,"
Arenamistress Sugar said. "The arena, at least, because of a contest?"
"Chavez Ravine." Dernal's tone was the one that substituted in polite company
for spitting on the floor.
Zrof blinked, taken aback by the bitterness. He wouldn't have minded a contest
in Zukal, and damn what they called the place. "It's only temporary, though."
"Temporary, shmiperary," another man muttered. He seemed well into his drinking,
although, like all arenamasters, he carried his liquor well. "They do it all the time
in Aradi. No reshpect. Go around changing thish, changing that. I wish I could
change shome thingsh." He signalled the bartender for a refill.
The second woman put her hand over his mug. "You've had enough, Harkon. Try the
coffee, instead."
"You should be mad, too, Ripplesh," Harkon said. "They're going to do shtuff
like that in Jahnsh, aren't they?"
Ripples Dorrigan shrugged. All the men paused, some with glasses half raised, to
watch. "It's the way things are," she said. "Not much we can do about it."
"You know," Khagal of Niatoli said, "maybe we could make a few changes. Fix the
spelling of Arena 33, for one, change a few standby titles--"
"The Commission hates changes." Dernal of Dayla Kiv topped up his glass and
drained it gloomily.
"Yes, but if we disguise it," Sugar of Arvat said, excited, "make it... maybe a
general Name-Change-O-Rama! Then we could slip OUR changes through and no one would
notice or mind."
