THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM Reflections by the Keeper of the Runeblade Oh, wow! So I'm Keeper of the Runeblade for the second time in a row. I would be, you know, a little more impressed with myself if this were a bigger arena. My fight with Mark was pretty exciting! He was totally in charge the first minute, and he kept hitting me. In the second minute, I hit him a bunch of times. But at the beginning of the third minute, the judges still said he was ahead. I got in a really, really hard hit at the beginning of the third minute and it seemed like Mark couldn't quite get over that. Except that he hit me on the arm, knocked me down, and wow, that hurt. I got up, he hit me and I fell to my knees. But then... he backed away. I think he was getting tired. Yeah, he was definitely getting tired. At the beginning of the fifth minute I hit him one more time with all my strength, and he motioned to Lady Greywand that he was unable to continue. You know, I'm a Wall of Steel and I fight pretty hard. I don't really think of myself as a defensive fighter. But I guess that to some styles, a Waste is a scum. Anyway, it was a great fight. Thanks, Mark. Tolais Deepheart, Keeper of the Runeblade REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Hullo! It was a rather short fight day. There were only fifteen, and even the scummy ones don't last very long. There were no challenges and no avoids. TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (141-151-0,207) of HIGHLANDERS fought GAR & BRILL (38-4252) (94-167-2,185) of JUST BECAUSE. TOLAIS DEEPHEART devastated GAR & BRILL in a 1 minute mismatched Title fight. The curvaceous Ms. Deepheart remains our top- rated Wall of Steel, as well as our Keeper of the Runeblade. CLIVE (6-5215) (56-57-5,185) of THE LADY'S LIST fought SOLACIA (104-24) (68-32- 0,225) of the Invincibles. CLIVE was subdued by SOLACIA in a 2 minute brutal melee. Argh. Clive is nonetheless our top Slasher. ZAKAU (5-4623) (63-66-0,187) of JOHNS fought LAUGHING BARMAID (104-9) (0-0- 0,170) of the Invincibles. ZAKAU was defeated by LAUGHING BARMAID in a crowd pleasing 1 minute duel. Again, argh, and Zakau is our top Lunger. The stand-ins are now 2-0. BACKFIRE (37-1713) (31-19-0,203) of BATTLEFIELD EARTH fought MARK (5-4088) (70- 158-3,196) of JOHNS. BACKFIRE was devastated by MARK in an exciting 1 minute one- sided fight. Mark is our top Parry-Lunger. MEN WORKING (38-4189) (81-244-1,196) of JUST BECAUSE fought BLIND BEGGAR (104- 26) (40-35-0,200) of the Invincibles. MEN WORKING was devastated by BLIND BEGGAR in a 1 minute uneven brawl. Ouch. Men Working is our top Basher AND Overall Popularity Leader, and the stand-ins are 3-0. P.M.S. (2-2716) (32-34-1,162) of MY EX-WIFE fought MIKEL (6-6190) (44-51-3,105) of THE LADY'S LIST. P.M.S. was overpowered by MIKEL in a crowd pleasing 1 minute one-sided struggle. This fight contained no stylemasters. LENNON (5-4087) (47-50-2,172) of JOHNS fought PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (45-60- 0,177) of HIGHLANDERS. LENNON overcame PELIS THE TRUE in an action packed 1 minute fight. SATCHEL (6-6215) (53-48-2,153) of THE LADY'S LIST fought FATALITY (7-5820) (34- 18-0,175) of BRUTAL LEGION. SATCHEL was vanquished by FATALITY in a 1 minute uneven duel. Fatality is our arena's top-ranked Striker. GEN. JACKSON (6-6285) (23-15-2,169) of THE VOLS fought 2 + 2 = 4 (38-4190) (58- 167-1,141) of JUST BECAUSE. GEN. JACKSON vanquished 2 + 2 = 4 in an action packed 1 minute uneven fight. Our little equation remains premier Total Parry. ZANE GREY (21-4810) (52-84-2,176) of AUTHORS fought SHADOWMANE (104-28) (0-0- 0,200) of the Invincibles. ZANE GREY was overpowered by SHADOWMANE in an action packed 1 minute one-sided fight. And the stand-ins are now 4-0. ZEUS (62-4010) (38-16-0,132) of LEGION OF LEGEND fought HOFFA (5-4299) (24-94- 0,134) of JOHNS. ZEUS narrowly defeated HOFFA in an exciting 6 minute bloody match. JUSTIN (6-6179) (38-60-3,115) of THE LADY'S LIST fought DESIREE (104-23) (20-15- 4,150) of the Invincibles. JUSTIN was handily defeated by DESIREE in an exciting 1 minute one-sided contest. Stand-ins, 5-0. OL SMOKEY (6-6312) (16-11-2,66) of THE VOLS fought ALOYICIUS (6-5045) (32-63- 2,33) of THE LADY'S LIST. OL SMOKEY bested ALOYICIUS in a crowd pleasing 3 minute bout. Ol Smokey is our top Parry-Striker. HOFFA (5-4622) (44-85-0,31) of JOHNS fought COCKY SPECTATOR (104-3) (0-0-0,0) of the Invincibles. HOFFA was viciously subdued by COCKY SPECTATOR in an action packed 4 minute gory fight. Stand-ins, 6-0. HOFFA (5-4348) (25-158-0,47) of JOHNS fought PHILTHRY (42-2079) (41-40-0,87) of HIGHLANDERS. HOFFA viciously subdued PHILTHRY in an action packed 4 minute brutal duel. Hmm, maybe that one is the tough Hoffa, after all. Well, I think that's all there is to say. Next time, I hope you will all challenge someone, and avoid someone. And invite a friend to come and fight in our arena. I wish you all a very joyous holiday season. Cheerio!
