(turn 280): INUYASHA of IMPROVED ILLUSION (Phantasm, mgr.) THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM Reflections by the Keeper of the Runeblade Where DOES Prince Malic get these garments? Some Andorian Aunt? They are appropriate, perhaps, for a youth attending a preparatory school, one preparing him to enter the Drones Club. Not for a grown man. And as I am not a Drone, neither am I Adantri. I do not wear Adantri robes in the arena or elsewhere. It would be totally unsuitable to my character. When I enter the arena to fight, I wear armor. I know there are some people, not even limited to Andorians, who regard dueling as... a sport. A light passtime to separate one drinking bout from another. I know, further, that some people include the Greywand's dueling in this classification. I do not. It is a serious business, aimed at preparation for the much more serious business of defending Ghea from incursions of extra-dimensional entities. One who is engaged on serious business does not frivol about with fancy dress, one wears armor to avoid unnecessary injuries. I am getting very tired of this ongoing effort to coerce me into unsuitable clothing, and if it continues, I shall go inactive. Elayron REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hi, there! I'm not feeling up to much fluff and bother today, so let's get right to the facts. RODEKI RAMBLER (42-1158) (37-65-0,185) of FLAGG 16 challenged JAMMY LARKE (5- 4926) (52-36-0,190) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5. RODEKI RAMBLER was viciously subdued by JAMMY LARKE in a 5 minute Challenge fight. Mr. Larke is our top Parry-Riposte. MASUMII (42-4117) (20-13-0,110) of FLAGG'S FIVE challenged HELENE JUSTE (5-4875) (32-49-1,132) of THE MIDDLE WAY 5. MASUMII was subdued by HELENE JUSTE in an exciting 2 minute gory Challenge melee. Neither of these fighters is a stylemaster, but it's still one of the few challenge fights and worth mentioning. GATE WITCH (42-3953) (24-15-0,75) of FLAGG'S FIVE challenged HOFFA (5-4348) (15- 142-0,78) of JOHNS. GATE WITCH lost to HOFFA in a crowd pleasing 3 minute Challenge brawl. Again, just a challenge match. ELAYRON (51-1492) (92-62-0,242) of BLOOD + ORANGES fought TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42- 1620) (128-138-0,222) of HIGHLANDERS. ELAYRON savagely defeated TOLAIS DEEPHEART in an exciting 4 minute bloody Title fight. Of course, Elayron is our Keeper of the Runeblade and top Parry Lunge. And of course, he wore plain, practical armor. ??RADAR?? (82-20310) (104-103-2,207) of DYSLEXICS UNTIE! II fought TASHI'SINDAR (1-3249) (81-59-3,190) of STORM RIDERS II. ??RADAR?? overcame TASHI'SINDAR in an action packed 1 minute melee. ??Radar?? is both our top Wall of Steel and our Overall Popularity Leader. Tashi'Sindar is our top Lunger. GAR & BRILL (38-4252) (83-152-1,180) of JUST BECAUSE fought ANGRY BOOKIE (104- 11) (15-10-0,150) of TACKLE BOX. GAR & BRILL won victory over ANGRY BOOKIE in a popular 4 minute gruesome duel. Gar & Brill is our top Striker. CRYSOPRASE (1-3266) (121-139-3,233) of ILLFANG PACT fought MARK (5-4088) (59- 143-3,197) of JOHNS. CRYSOPRASE bested MARK in a 2 minute duel. Crysoprase is our top Parry-Striker. SPUTTERBUZZ (6-5810) (29-20-0,208) of TACKLE BOX fought MEN WORKING (38-4189) (69-230-1,179) of JUST BECAUSE. SPUTTERBUZZ narrowly defeated MEN WORKING in an exciting 3 minute struggle. Sputterbuzz is our top TP, while Men Working is our top Basher. HIKARAN DAAL (1-2070) (81-95-1,196) of STORM RIDERS fought MIKEL (6-6190) (36- 33-3,177) of THE LADY'S LIST. HIKARAN DAAL slimly won victory over MIKEL in a popular 4 minute competition. Mikel is top Slasher. It's all very gray, isn't it? *sigh* This is my least favorite time of year. But in two weeks, we wll have celebrated the solstice and we'll probably all be happier. At least I will. I want it to be over.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE Crysoprase -- I felt that as a parry-striker, a style reviled by many managers, you could benefit by another win. The gods know *I* don't need it. I already have a sufficiency. -- Tashi'Sindar Malic -- My family name is not "'Sindar." That is part of my given name. What is printed as an apostrophe is in fact a glottal stop, a perfectly valid phoneme despite the fact that Andorians do not manage to write it properly. -- Tashi'Sindar Tashi'Sindar -- Good to know. Thanks for the information. -- Malic Rodeki Rambler -- You're a fool. -- Hikaran Daal Jammy Larke -- Urgh. That's an orcish word meaning "you're cute, but you can't teach me anything." -- Tolais Deepheart, dedicated student of the martial arts Tashi'Sindar -- I don't know WHY I said the bathtub thing. Guess I've heard it so many times that it's formed a bridge directly to my tongue, bypassing the brain. Sorry, sorry. -- Crysoprase Mikel -- Bah! Adabemis has weak elbows. -- Balmador 2 + 2 = 4 -- Actually, that was a good fight. I pity you for your arena name though. -- Philthry Gate Witch -- Actually, it does say "Colonel" on my uniform. -- Col. Pelis the True ALL -- MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL IN ALASTARI!!! May your year end in peace and the new year hold great things for you and your families. -- Gentleben (Sunset-21, Morya-28, Arvat-32 and Talahya-100) LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS RODEKI RAMBLER was viciously subdued by JAMMY LARKE in a 5 minute Challenge fight.
