WARRIOR SPOTLIGHT
(RECAP: See the Home Guard, Andorak, Free Blades Newsletters for Part 1-3, and don't
forget to visit the ADM Regional Page at: http://www.reality.com/reg09.htm)
It was the quarterfinals of the ADM Regional tourney. There were 3 Regions and
7 Managers still left in the hunt for the big prize. Well, technically, there was no
prize, but any time the room was filled with a bunch of managers, you had a group of
the most overly competitive people, many of whom would stop at nothing to win.
The Crysalis team was packing up and ready to go. Their last two warriors had
been eliminated in the previous round. While they were understandably dissappointed,
they reminded everyone that it was only their first regional tourney and things moved
slow enough there that most of their entire team would likely still be around once
the next Regional Tournament rolled around.
The Home Guard team was eliminated as well. But most of their managers were
only expecting a short stay and had only packed beer anyway. They took great
pleasure in starting a tailgate right outside the manager's lounge and distracting
those that were left in the contest.
The remaining teams huddled together in three different corners of the managers'
lounge. The atmosphere was like a run-off of a tournament. Done were a lot of the
mind games of the earlier rounds, it was all about having a good strategy and having
the best warrrior now.
The bell for the fourth rounded sounded. Manager's Aimed Blow Death Fog was up
against the Jolly's Slasher in Cooler. Both have been winning impressively in the
past three rounds, Death Fog went into the tourney as one of the contenders, but
Cooler had been turning heads with some big victories in early rounds. After a
closely fought battle, it was Death Fog who was the first participant in the Final 4.
A Delarquan vs. Free Blade battle was up next. TUM's Harv, a bare-handed Aimed Blow
who had an impressive resume in the Challengers and higher, was up against Natas, one
of the many talented Lungers being run by the Dark One. In a classic, Lunger vs. Fist
Aimer Battle, it was Harv who walked away the winner.
Two possibly unlikely warriors were up next. Vision, Kellumbo's Total Parry, was up
against the plucky Gossamer. Aragorn's Wall of Steel was now the unlikely sole
survivor from his team. After a grueling 8 minutes, it was Vision who was the
victor. Gossamer's loss signaled the elimination of the Free Blade team, meaning the
next regional Champ would come from Andorak or Darkholm.
Littlest Tyrant, TMM's Aimed Blow had drawn a bye, but still had to defat Captured
Pirate Captain in order to secure his spot in the Final 4. It wasn't close, Littlest
Tyrant won easily.
Scoreboard:
------------------
Darkholm: 12- 5 (70.5)
Andorak: 14-10 (58.3)
Free Blades: 12-12 (50.0)
Home Guard: 7-10 (41.1)

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Managers and Warriors of Darkholm, good evening!
SUPER BUM (82-18411) (121-51-2,234) of FLAT BROKE fought GREASY NAPKINS (82-
10156) (38-47-0,216) of REAL PIZZA FLAVOR. SUPER BUM bested GREASY NAPKINS in a
crowd pleasing 3 minute Title fight. Mr. Bum also has the distinction of being our
ONLY warrior not on either the Most Popular or Least Popular lists. Super is our top
Total Parry, too.
Speaking of Most Popular, that would be Mr. Cheap. And This Turn's Favorite is
Crysoprase, because their fight was... well, I have to say it was one of the better
fights you would see even in a much busier arena. It was close, the advantage went
back and forth, people jumped over other people's sword swings, there were dramatic
moments where first one warrior and then the other was down, and apparently beaten,
but managed to get back up. CRACK IS CHEAP (82-18422) (77-92-0,189) of NEGATIVE CASH
FLOW fought CRYSOPRASE (1-3266) (77-103-2,152) of ILLFANG PACT. CRACK IS CHEAP
luckily beat CRYSOPRASE in an exciting 8 minute brutal fight. Crysoprase is
currently our best Parry-Striker.
At the other end of the spectrum... the spectators really aren't crazy about
Tina. I don't know why. She can be sharp-tongued, but overall she's a sweet enough
young lady. And she didn't look THAT terrible out on the sands. Well... all right,
a little bit terrible. Not her looks, she's pretty if you like blonds, but in her
technique I mean. ETCHED IN STONE (61-3112) (149-55-1,209) of CEMENTIA fought
TALLAHASSE TINA (7-4889) (33-90-0,163) of BEACH BABES. ETCHED IN STONE overpowered
TALLAHASSE TINA in a 1 minute uneven duel.
Darkholm seems to be doing well in the Regional Tourney!
In Round 1, we scored 4-3, a .571 win percentage which was the best of all the
competing arenas.
Bloodbath of Crysalis beat Reddi Whip of Darkholm (TUM).
Enlightened Being of Free Blades defeated Work in Progress (A-Sop) of Darkholm.
Darkholm's Littlest Tyrant beat Nay Palm of Andorak.
Darkholm's Harv (TUM) defeated Claudius of Free Blades.
Hari-Kari, from Crysalis, was beaten by Cooler (Jolly) of Darkholm.
Shadow out of Time, from Andorak, defeated Men Working from Darkholm. (A-Sop).
In Round 2, Darkholm went 3 and 2, bringing the record to 7-4 with a percentage of
63.3, again the highest.
By round 3, Darkholm had increased its advantage with to: 10-4 (71.4).
And you all will see Round 4 at the same time as I will. It's time to go and watch
the tourney. See you in the arena!

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Ack, Jorja caught us not writing personals last time, and was she ticked! So today
we do personals.
Littlest Tyrant -- I hope someone spanks you good. -- Aloha Alice
That Guy -- Totally! -- Laguna Lil the annoyed and disgusted
P.S. Or just about any other guy, when you get down to it.
Crysoprase -- Not bad for someone who's named after a rock. -- Tallahasse Tina
P.S. But a pretty rock.
Drunken Fisherman, bah. May he fall in the lack and get eaten by a Mist Monster. --
Beach Betty
Damned if I can see how the Cocky Spectator gets by with having zero recognition. I
know it's a trick--to keep his opponents off balance, but someone on the Commission
staff must have gone along with it. Suspicious. -- Miami Mia
Desiree (not your real name) -- Check the newsletter for Home Guard for the first
round of the regional tourney, Andorak for the second, Free Blades for the third.
The fourth should be in this newsletter. -- Jorja
Thank you. -- Des
Red Fusion -- Thought I wasn't going to get past your defenses at all, until I found
the chink in your armor: Your posterior. Eating your meals off the mantle for a
while, aren't you? -- Stassia
Tallahasse Tina -- Well... dang. I was catching up, I thought, and about to pull
ahead. But... but that was unexpectedly painful. -- Crysoprase
