                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Ladies and Gentlemen,

As there were only seventeen fights this time, I intend to talk about all of them.

     BORF (84-37868) (26-24-0,181) of A PROPER SALUTE challenged ZEUS (62-4010) (48-
23-0,190) of LEGION OF LEGEND.  BORF devastated ZEUS in a action packed 2 minute
brutal mismatched Challenge fight.  Borf is our top-rated Parry-Lunger.
     RICHARD RAMIREZ (11-2325) (46-40-0,199) of MY MAIN MEN challenged ZAKAU (5-4623)
(72-74-0,201) of JOHNS.  RICHARD RAMIREZ viciously subdued ZAKAU in a popular 1
minute Challenge match.  I believe both of those fighters have previously been Keeper
of the Runeblade, haven't they?
     NO LIMIT HOLD-EM (42-2887) (31-16-2,207) of DEALER'S CHOICE challenged TOLAIS
DEEPHEART (42-1620) (153-156-0,194) of HIGHLANDERS.  NO LIMIT HOLD-EM was bested by
TOLAIS DEEPHEART in a 3 minute Challenge contest.  Ms Deepheart is currently or top-
rated Wall of Steel.
     ADOLPH EICHMANN (84-37835) (29-21-0,119) of MY MAIN MEN challenged SATCHEL (6-
6215) (60-58-2,161) of THE LADY'S LIST.  ADOLPH EICHMANN was subdued by SATCHEL in a
1 minute Challenge competition.
     OMAHA (42-4796) (18-6-1,43) of DEALER'S CHOICE challenged PHILTHRY (42-2079)
(53-45-0,56) of HIGHLANDERS.  OMAHA was overpowered by PHILTHRY in a 1 minute one-
sided Challenge struggle.  Philthry was this turn's most challenged fighter.
     PORTERHOUSE ARREST (41-4059) (39-27-1,73) of GLAD TO MEAT YOU challenged
ALOYICIUS (6-5045) (37-75-2,59) of THE LADY'S LIST.  PORTERHOUSE ARREST bested
ALOYICIUS in a popular 2 minute Challenge competition.

KING OF DARKHOLM (12-4856) (56-43-1,258) of THOSE WHO RULE fought P.M.S. (2-2716)
(38-37-1,230) of MY EX-WIFE.  KING OF DARKHOLM handily defeated P.M.S. in a 2 minute
uneven Title melee.  Naturally, King of Darkholm also retains his title as top
Lunger.

There was just one death today.  LENNON (5-4087) (57-57-3,217) of JOHNS fought PELIS
THE TRUE (42-3469) (51-71-0,182) of HIGHLANDERS.  LENNON was assassinated by PELIS
THE TRUE in a 1 minute uneven duel.  Mr. True is our top-rated Basher.  This was a
rather surprising outcome, wasn't it?  I hope Lennon is feeling better.

     STRAP ON (10-5254) (30-21-1,181) of THE MENTORS' TOY BOX fought SLOW BURN (5-
3056) (33-21-0,165) of RENEGADES II.  STRAP ON overpowered SLOW BURN in an action
packed 1 minute gory one-sided fight.  Despite losing, Slow Burn is top Parry-Striker
in this arena.
     PROFESSOR GRIM (10-2613) (38-33-0,189) of THE MENTORS fought FERD THE TOWER
(104-27) (120-15-8,280) of The Invincibles.  PROFESSOR GRIM was overpowered by FERD
THE TOWER in a 1 minute one-sided match.  Prof. Grim is our top ranked Slasher.  And
it is certainly no embarrassment to lose to the inimitable Ferd the Tower.
     CLIVE (6-5215) (62-68-5,180) of THE LADY'S LIST fought SEX KITTEN (18-4058) (29-
19-1,148) of FEMMES FATAL.  CLIVE devastated SEX KITTEN in a 1 minute mismatched
conflict.
     SATIN SHEETS (5-3120) (26-18-0,144) of RENEGADES II fought 2 + 2 = 4 (38-4190)
(59-183-1,132) of JUST BECAUSE.  SATIN SHEETS demolished 2 + 2 = 4 in a popular 1
minute mismatched match.  Ms Sheets is top Aimed Blow, and certainly someone to
watch.  The little equation is top-rated Total Parry.
     MIKEL (6-6190) (51-61-3,149) of THE LADY'S LIST fought M. CHARDINEE (104-8) (0-
0-0,110) of The Invincibles.  MIKEL slimly lost to M. CHARDINEE in a popular 3 minute
gruesome conflict.
     FATALITY (7-5820) (38-31-0,150) of BRUTAL LEGION fought JUSTIN (6-6179) (43-72-
3,129) of THE LADY'S LIST.  FATALITY was overpowered by JUSTIN in a 1 minute uneven
struggle.  Fatality is currently our best Striker.

Our last three fights involve Hoffas, so I invite King of Darkholm to take special
note of these.
     BONHAM (21-7738) (20-12-1,94) of MASTERS OF MELODY fought HOFFA (5-4299) (26-
109-0,92) of JOHNS.  BONHAM was handily defeated by HOFFA in a 1 minute mismatched
bout.
     HOFFA (5-4622) (45-101-0,71) of JOHNS fought INKEEPER'S SON (104-4) (15-15-0,40)
of The Invincibles.  HOFFA was viciously subdued by INKEEPER'S SON in a popular 7
minute brutal brawl.
     HOFFA (5-4348) (29-171-0,71) of JOHNS fought HILLARY (10-6261) (17-13-0,77) of
THE MENTORS.  HOFFA narrowly defeated HILLARY in an exciting 5 minute brutal bout.

I don't think anyone avoided anyone else, but they probably should have!  And this
concludes my report.  Enjoy the last few weeks of summer, and I'll see you in a
fortnight.

Ed -- No problem... if I had known about the "plain text" thing I would have sent it
in that way in the first place.  Now... if you would be so kind, I would like to ask
a favor of you in return: could you please leave the spacing in my columns as it is
written (the same way personal ads are spaced)?  It's really a drag to take the time
to write a column just to see it not "presented" the way I intended it to be seen.  I
really do not like the "indentation" and "thoughts smushed together" look.  See...I'm
not writing a "book" with "paragraphs"....moreover I'm just writing down "thoughts,"
and I would prefer to see these thoughts spaced out with no indentation.  I firmly
feel that it's more appealing to the eye, and individual thoughts stand out much
better that way. -- King of Darkholm

     That seems a reasonable request.  I'm not sure about the "more appealing" part,
     but if you want it so, I'll do it. -- Ed.

Ed -- Go ahead and refer to me as Alfredo Frothingslosh in the newsletter listings.
You can call me Alfredo, or Alf is fine as well.

     As from this day, so it shall be.

Malic -- Can we do something about all these damn Hoffas?  Seriously... can they be
"numbered" or something so we can tell who is who?  I'm looking at the turn's
newsletter and can't even tell who the hell I fought!  I think the King's decree of
renaming them "Thing 1, Thing 2," and "Thing 3" was clearly a valid notion. --
Pickled Pigskin, in Darkholm only one turn and more confused than ever

     Pickled Pigskin -- I know it's confusing.  I'll try to remember to mention in my
     report which Hoffa fought whom.  It's rare enough that anyone asks for anything
     in the spy report, so I am very glad to oblige. -- Malic

     As to getting them actually changed, you'll have to ask their manager, A-Sop.

Thing 3 -- I MISSED YOU!  =(. -- Sandra Dee, your biggest admirer

I hereby decree that Thing 1, Thing 2, and Thing 3 are to be pummeled with rotting
fruit in all public places until such time that they agree to answer to their new
names. -- King of Darkholm

     Littering!

Malic -- Dirk Cholera is too tough to be an "extra in Darkholm... it's ridiculous!  I
put in two good efforts, but I lost to him both times.  Do you really think that the
ADM TC from Tempe, and a 7-3 Eligibles warrior from Chicago should be losing twice to
the same extra?  Dirk would make sense as an extra in Primus, but I doubt much of
anybody in Darkholm could beat him, at least certainly not on a regular basis.  I'm
not usually one to complain much, but I am 57-21 overall and am quite proud of my
record.  I am 2-2 in Darkholm with both my losses coming to Dirk; it's just not
right.  It really is not at all fair to me that I keep drawing "the Arenamaster" as
an extra.  Give me some nice, fat Stone Golem to beat up on or something! -- Li'l Red

     Li'l Red -- I feel your pain.  He is scary!  However, he is occasionally beaten,
     and Lady Greywand has ruled that Mr. Cholera should continue to serve as a
     stand-in here in Darkholm.  I really don't know why Darkholm, since the fellow
     was originally from Zukal.  If it's any slight comfort, these fortnightly
     outings are his only relief from a dungeon cell in the Grey Tower. -- Malic

Malic -- HEY!  I just figured out which "Thing" I fought.  It was "Thing 1"...
because... he was the only "Thing" that lost!  Now THAT'S different! -- Pickled
Pigskin

     We'll see how the Hoffas do this time, and I shall be sure to detail their
     performance in my report. -- Malic

P.M.S. -- You certainly deserve the shot.  Are you ready to rock? -- King of Darkholm

Borf -- Should you have been training that?  Have you already learned all the skills
you can? -- Tolais Deepheart

2 + 2 = 4 -- I guess that was mutually painful, eh? -- Pelis the True

Hoffa 5-4348 -- That surprised me. -- Philthry

                        WINTER FACE-TO-FACE IN SUNNY ARIZONA!

Our next winter FTF will be held in Tempe, Arizona, January 16-18, 2015.  It will be 
held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Tempe, Arizona (480-897-7444), the same hotel as 
last year by popular request.  Room rates are $149.00 per night, 1-2 occupancy, which 
includes full cooked breakfast, complimentary manager's reception, free airport 
shuttle, free parking and free high speed internet.  There's a fitness center, 
jacuzzi, and pool.  The rooms are blocked--code RSI.

Please make your reservations now if you plan to go.  This is prime season for 
Phoenix, and this year will be crazy:  the Superbowl, Phoenix Open, auto auction, PF 
Chang's Marathon, and more are all during that time.  The hotel will be filling up 
quickly and I won't be able to add rooms to the block after they are full.  So please 
book your room now -- if you can't make it you can cancel your reservation, but we 
hope you do!

Look for the tournament info sheet and minioverviews some time in December.  We hope 
you're all looking forward to it and that we will see you there!
