My fight with Zakau was a good one, which I supposed it wouldn't have been if I were as competent at fighting as I should be. Sparks flew as we traded rapid strikes at the beginning. Zakau got hit a couple of times and I was rated ahead, but he was hanging in there. Some of his moves were absolutely amazing. I couldn't have been more amazing, but I did break the rhythm of the fight and sneak in a pretty hard hit, and that finished the fight. I think you should build up your muscles, Zakau. Not only do they add power to your blows, but they serve as a kind of armor to protect your vitals. Anyway, here I am again, without much to say. Autumn is here, and it smells good! I like the scent of the fallen leaves. I've been going for walks in the afternoon, enjoying the fall colors, and must say that this is one of the most beautiful seasons. You know, in any given year, there are only four really good seasons, so you need to savor them. With best wishes to you all, Crysoprase REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hullo! Sixteen fights, eight of them involving stand-in fighters, so... twenty-four actual gladiators participated. The exciting part is, three of them made challenges. I should like to honor their manager, but I don't actually know who he is. Who manages Battlefield Earth, My Ex-Wife, and Play Ball? Whoever you are, come on up to the Tower. Drinks are on me. <The Dealer> BACKFIRE (37-1713) (29-18-0,202) of BATTLEFIELD EARTH challenged MEN WORKING (38-4189) (80-241-1,189) of JUST BECAUSE.

THE DEAD W L K TEAM NAME SLAIN BY TURN PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE Zakau -- Ah, pity. We really aren't a good match, are we? Partly due to my rather overwhelming level of experience. On the other hand, as long as I keep the Title, Darkholm gets columns. That's something, I guess. -- Crysoprase Men Working -- I don't think you really do. You barely moved. So how did you win? -- Pelis the True Vigorous personality. Mark -- WOOO! That was FUN! Did you notice how the announcer kept saying you were ahead, then me? Good fight! -- Tolais Deepheart Hoffa -- Argh. Even with a weapon that's unorthodox for your style, ya beat me. Even though I was ahead, the whole fight, till the end. Watta revolting development that was. -- Philthry LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS BACKFIRE slimly won victory over MEN WORKING in a 4 minute Challenge fight.
