Twelve fights today, seven involving stand-ins. So, seventeen gladiators took part. Same as last time. There was one challenge, which was from Winning Side, of course. The stand-ins had a 4-3 turn, in no small part thanks to two appearances by the mighty Ferd the Tower. WINNING SIDE (6-4276) (17-19-1,74) of OINGO BOINGO challenged KANEN VILESTAR (31-6601) (18-6-0,92) of SHADOWHOLD. WINNING SIDE was bested by KANEN VILESTAR in a 2 minute Challenge fight. Too bad. Such an indefatigable competitor should win more often. Anyway, Kanen Vilestar is the top Wall of Steel, so well done on his part. GLAMDRING (33-2328) (64-50-1,229) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought MIKEL (6-6190) (89-102- 3,201) of THE LADY'S LIST. GLAMDRING successfully defended his title, besting MIKEL in an exciting 1 minute Title duel. Glamdring is top TP and Mikel is top Slasher. WARDRA (82-56471) (37-14-1,211) of BLOODHAMMER CLAN fought BLIND BEGGAR (104-26) (40- 35-0,200) of . WARDRA was handily defeated by BLIND BEGGAR in a 1 minute one-sided match. BATTLE BANSHEE (47-7979) (17-14-2,200) of SPECTRAL STEEL fought FERD THE TOWER (104- 27) (120-15-8,280) of . BATTLE BANSHEE was vanquished by FERD THE TOWER in a 1 minute mismatched brawl. Battle Banshee is top Striker and.... sorry to say... this turn's least favorite fighter. Which is really unfair since practically no one can beat the Tower. ASSUR (18-7821) (110-152-2,195) of ARROGANCE fought PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (78-123- 1,166) of HIGHLANDERS. ASSUR overpowered PELIS THE TRUE in a crowd pleasing 1 minute one-sided fight. Assur is top Basher, while Mr. True is the overall popularity leader. DIGITALIS (33-6862) (41-52-1,192) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought FERD THE TOWER (104-27) (120-15-8,280) of . DIGITALIS was devastated by FERD THE TOWER in a 2 minute one- sided duel. Despite which, Digitalis is our top Parry-Riposte. AELFWINE (82-23244) (25-11-0,165) of BLOODHAMMER CLAN fought SHADOWMANE (104-28) (0-0- 0,200) of . AELFWINE bested SHADOWMANE in a popular 2 minute gruesome competition. Aelfwine is our top Lunger. PHILTHRY (42-2079) (91-86-0,153) of HIGHLANDERS fought JHAARAN (10-2017) (27-22-2,138) of THE HOLY LEGION. PHILTHRY viciously subdued JHAARAN in an action packed 4 minute gruesome duel. Philthry is top Parry-Strike, and was voted this turn's favorite. KYLROI (40-4534) (29-11-0,117) of GRIZZLED VETERANS fought M. CHARDINEE (104-8) (0-0- 0,110) of . KYLROI defeated M. CHARDINEE in an action packed 1 minute gory duel. SIR LUCAN (60-9077) (22-20-0,102) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS fought CAPTURED CUTPURSE (104-6) (0-0-0,130) of . SIR LUCAN defeated CAPTURED CUTPURSE in an action packed 2 minute match. I should hope so, since Sir Lucan is our top Aimed Blow. SIR YVAIN (60-9076) (21-15-2,141) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS fought ANGRY BOOKIE (104-11) (15-10-0,150) of . SIR YVAIN was narrowly defeated by ANGRY BOOKIE in an exciting 1 minute fight. ZYRO (33-8118) (25-19-0,68) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought THE TEACH (7-6621) (22-21-3,51) of LADIES OF QUALITY. ZYRO was narrowly defeated by THE TEACH in a crowd pleasing 5 minute competition. There is is, my friends. I've laid a spy report... or an egg. The former, I hope.

To Challenge, write that warrior's name and ID# in the space provided. To Avoid, write the team's name and Team ID in that space. Make sure you include the ID! * * * * * MEMO * * * * * From: The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission To: All Managers In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's cramp, the census form has been eliminated, effective immediately. Managers may register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by simply writing them on a separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission. Each warrior may have up to 15 favorite sayings. Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch, Victory and may be up to 70 characters long. For any questions, please contact the Gladiatorial Commission. TEAM AND CHARACTER MAINTENANCE SERVICE As a service to all managers, we offer team and character maintenance. This option allows you to make sure your team or selected warriors will never miss a turn! Team Maintenance: This will cause all warriors on that team to fight every turn; if it's an AD arena, any new warriors who arrive on that team will fight the turn they arrive. In A.D. or in transfer arenas where you have multiple teams, each team will need to separately be on Team Maintenance. (The only exception is new warriors; they will not fight until they have had their initial strategy input.) Character Maintenance: This will cause only that warrior to fight every turn. If the character graduates or changes arenas, he/she/it will stay on Character Maintenance. In either case, you may submit strategy sheets for your warriors each turn, if you wish. The Team/Character Maintenance will make sure your warriors fight each turn, and they will always use their most recently entered strategy. Remember that challenges, avoids, and challenge/if challenged strategies will not carry through from turn to turn. These sections are only used on the turn they are entered. In order to continually challenge or avoid you will need to submit a strategy sheet each time. One other thing to remember about maintenance: Maintenance is not something that you write on your turnsheet (like in demo tourneys). In order to add or remove maintenance for a team or warrior, you must send a note to Customer Service. If you just write things like this on your strategy sheet, they may or may not get done. Likewise, don't write it on your personal ads. Please, please, please put it on a separate piece of paper with "Customer Service" written on the top. If you don't, well, you can imagine. Thanks for your time. Good luck in Duelmasters! -- Green Eyes NEW GRADUATES--FROM ALL ARENAS (INCLUDING CLOSED ARENAS) For those of you who keep track of such things, one additional warrior graduated from regular DM arenas (including closed arenas) since the last tournament. FRAIL WALL (84-2086) WARRIORS 10 (411) Congrats to the grads. -- Green Eyes
