This is where I talk about the thrilling things that happened here on fight day. *taps fingers* Alllll.... righty then. The four warriors who were voted onto the most popular and least popular lists simultaneously were: Gateway, Stassia, Crysoprase, and Rob A. Ree. It pains me to report that these unfortunate individuals may have suffered... consequences due to this state of cognitive dissonance. GATEWAY (82-15631) (87-56-1,304) of ATTACK OF THE CLONES fought WORK IN PROGRESS (38-4193) (60-185-2,184) of JUST BECAUSE. GATEWAY devastated WORK IN PROGRESS in a 1 minute mismatched Title fight. Yes, yes, of course Gateway is still our Keeper of the Runeblade, and of course he is still our Top Lunger, and now, he says he is writing a book: "Love Me or Hate Me, I Can Still Beat You Up." I ventured to suggest that the title might be a bit too long for a book cover, and he accused me of falling into the "hate me" category and threw a bottle of ink at me. Work in Progress is our top Parry-Ripper still -- a fun style. SMELL CAREFULLY (18-8889) (54-96-2,229) of STREET PIZZA fought FERD THE TOWER (104-27) (120-15-8,280) of FERD'S TEAM. SMELL CAREFULLY was handily defeated by FERD THE TOWER in a 1 minute one-sided match. Really, no one can beat Ferd the Tower. Right? That's what I've heard anyway. So it's no disgrace, losing to him. ??RADAR?? (82-20310) (66-87-1,238) of DYSLEXICS UNTIE! II fought COOLER (82- 7277) (115-109-2,191) of STYROFOAM. ??RADAR?? was viciously subdued by COOLER in a popular 1 minute gory contest. Of course, Cooler is our Top Slasher. But ??Radar?? has had to yield the Top Waste spot to Stassia. Will we soon see those two titans battling it out for the Top Wall of Steel honor? RUGEN THE JELLYFISH (82-12478) (50-20-0,219) of HANNAH'S PALS fought LOCAL CONSTABLE (104-22) (0-0-0,181) of NOT A FISHERMAN. RUGEN THE JELLYFISH demolished LOCAL CONSTABLE in a 2 minute mismatched competition. Reportedly, the Constable only fought Rugen because his challenge to the Drunken Fisherman did not go through. In any case Rugen -- well done. I've had a few run-ins with constables myself during my salad days. This one is named Durgen Marfy and he's... all right, if you're not drunk and disorderly. He has this disconcerting way of folding his arms, looking askance at you, and saying, "Hmm." CRYSOPRASE (1-3266) (88-118-2,196) of ILLFANG PACT fought ROB A. REE (39-3241) (53-43-1,177) of CRIMINAL ELEMENT. CRYSOPRASE bested ROB A. REE in a crowd pleasing 2 minute match. That's all well and good -- wins are a bit scarce for the poor girl -- but she, too, suffered from cognitive dissonance. It hit her rather hard actually. She was seen in the ladies' locker room after her fight, bashing her head repeatedly on a metal locker and moaning "Love hate! Love hate! This is bad, bad, BAD for the daisies!" As for Rob, he actually went Lakeside, lay down in a dingy, and dangled his arm in the water to watch the little lake monsters come up for a nibble, and then suddenly veer away in disgust. STASSIA (37-1523) (78-99-3,196) of UP TO NO GOOD fought ARSONIST ART (39-3325) (48-42-0,180) of CRIMINAL ELEMENT. STASSIA overcame ARSONIST ART in a 2 minute fight. This was our top Wall of Steel overcoming our top Total Parry. On the one hand, it was a rather defensive battle, which our spectators tend to dislike. On the other hand, there was that wardrobe malfunction. Stassia's leather bodice was laced rather tightly, and during a particularly strenouous move... well, we all got the picture. Was she affected by the cognitive dissonance? I believe so. She walked around kissing men at random and then slapping them. She slaps hard, too! Knocked me over. MEN WORKING (38-4189) (53-192-1,198) of JUST BECAUSE fought B.A. TURRY (39-3383) (32-43-2,174) of CRIMINAL ELEMENT. MEN WORKING was handily defeated by B.A. TURRY in a 2 minute uneven melee. Despite his loss, Mr. Working is our Top Basher. SEX ON THE BEACH (54-2435) (43-35-3,177) of INDULGENT DRINKS fought M. CHARDINEE (104-8) (0-0-0,110) of CHARDONNAY. SEX ON THE BEACH vanquished M. CHARDINEE in a 1 minute uneven fight. Last but not least, we come to the five warriors of The Middle Way 5, who went two-and-three against the stand-in warriors. This is rather unfortunate! Because these are relatively young fighters in an aging arena, they didn't get to fight any official gladiators, at all. But let us welcome this new blood! KATIRONA MURH (5-4929) (25-15-2,92) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought DEBBY TONTE (104- 2) (20-30-0,30) of SPYREPORTERS. KATIRONA MURH viciously subdued DEBBY TONTE in a popular 2 minute brutal fight. Well done, Katirona. That's not the real Debby Tonte (although she'd like you to think she is) but she is tougher than you might expect. This Debby Tonte impersonator does birthday parties and bachelor parties, and has been heard to use the word "albendranius" quite a lot more than the original. PENDRU ROST (5-4956) (17-43-0,94) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought COCKY SPECTATOR (104-3) (0-0-0,0) of DARKHOLM'S ELITE. PENDRU ROST was handily defeated by COCKY SPECTATOR in a 1 minute one-sided bout. The "spectator," I believe, was a transferred warrior who arrived too late for the day's fights. And so when the call went up for volunteers from the stands, he jumped at the chance. I believe Mr. Rost may have underestimated the fellow's skill. JAMMY LARKE (5-4926) (20-14-0,74) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought DEBBY TONTE (104-2) (20-30-0,30) of SPYREPORTERS. JAMMY LARKE was narrowly defeated by DEBBY TONTE in a crowd pleasing 2 minute match. It really was narrow! The woman's blond wig was turned sideways, she couldn't see anything, and she failed wildly with her sword. Unfortunately one of the wild swings caught Mr. Larke on the neck. HELENE JUSTE (5-4875) (15-12-0,57) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought BOOKIE'S GUARD (104-5) (35-18-0,75) of LOCAL BULLIES. HELENE JUSTE was devastated by BOOKIE'S GUARD in a 1 minute one-sided battle. Really, that was a bad mismatch. I mean look at their records. JERI LOUGH (5-4840) (14-32-0,74) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5 fought DRUNKEN FISHERMAN (104-1) (20-20-0,50) of NOT A CONSTABLE. JERI LOUGH beat DRUNKEN FISHERMAN in a crowd pleasing 2 minute gory conflict. The spectator who cheered the loudest was the Durgen Marfy, the Local Constable. I believe that wraps up my account of our thrilling fights. It's a lovely, sunny day, albeit a blustery one, and I believe I'll go out in it and get blown around a bit. Until next time, cheerio!

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE No time to write personals, we're busy packing. Going back to Bonsur, truly retired, to devote our lives to making really good smash and throwing parties. -- the Beach Babes This is sad news! You will all be missed, most especially by the Inkeeper's Son. Really, many's the evening I have wandered down to the cabana on the beach, and enjoyed a gourd full of smash as we sat around the campfire. If I were the sort to shoulder that kind of responsibility, I'd offer to keep the place nice. Have fun in Bonsur.... well, how could anyone not have fun in the Federation's party town? I'll swing by for a visit the next time I go back to Talahya. -- Malic Middle Way -- Welcome! We're glad to have you here in Darkholm. -- Malic ??Radar?? -- Oh, argh! You're just way better than me at fighting. And I HATE that! When all the announcer does is talk about your body parts. -- Crysoprase B.A. Turry -- I didn't expect to win that one! I don't normally do well against your style. Congratulations on maxing out, though. -- Stassia LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS GATEWAY devastated WORK IN PROGRESS in a 1 minute mismatched Title fight.
