                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hullo!

Malic here, as usual.  Sorry I couldn't be with you last turn, but the Commission was 
hit by some kind of disaster, I don't know what, and they told me to stay away.

So... 13 fights today, no challenges, no avoids, no deaths, three stand-ins.  Hmm.

JOE MAMA (21-6771) (58-75-1,234) of D.R.I. fought SIR YVAIN (60-9076) (33-23-2,211) of 
MYTHICAL KNIGHTS.  JOE MAMA devastated SIR YVAIN in a 2 minute gruesome mismatched 
Title fight.  Joe is still our Keeper of the Runeblade and top Total Parry.

MIKEL (6-6190) (97-114-3,220) of THE LADY'S LIST fought BATTLE BANSHEE (47-7979) (25-
26-2,203) of SPECTRAL STEEL.  MIKEL demolished BATTLE BANSHEE in a popular 1 minute 
gruesome one-sided melee.  And Mikel is top Slasher, as he so often is.

PHILTHRY (42-2079) (101-96-0,200) of HIGHLANDERS fought JHAARAN (10-2017) (33-36-
2,198) of THE HOLY LEGION.  PHILTHRY devastated JHAARAN in a popular 3 minute brutal 
one-sided contest.  The orc with the sexy sister is on a winning streak, I think.  
He's our top Parry-Strike.

PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (91-130-1,208) of HIGHLANDERS fought KYLROI (40-4534) (35-25-
0,160) of GRIZZLED VETERANS.  PELIS THE TRUE bested KYLROI in an action packed 1 
minute brawl.  Wait, he fought Kylroi last turn, too, I see from the personal ads.  
Anyway, Pelis is our top Basher and our overall popularity leader.  Action packed, 
that's why.

RYANATOR (33-3462) (43-38-0,196) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought FERD THE TOWER (104-27) (120-
15-8,280).  RYANATOR was savagely defeated by FERD THE TOWER in an exciting 5 minute 
struggle.  Ah, heck.  They say it's an honor to lose to the Tower, but no one really 
enjoys it.  At least he did last a while.

SIR LUCAN (60-9077) (33-29-0,188) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS fought ASSUR (18-7821) (120-162-
2,189) of ARROGANCE.  SIR LUCAN was handily defeated by ASSUR in an action packed 2 
minute uneven fight.  Of course, Sir Lucan is our best Aimed Blow.  I'm surprised 
Assur isn't a stylemaster this turn.  He wasn't last turn, either, but I do think he's 
pretty dangerous.

KILLER KARCH (69-5668) (24-18-2,210) of SAND KINGS fought WARRIOR WIGHT (47-7978) (20-
7-0,167) of SPECTRAL STEEL.  KILLER KARCH lost to WARRIOR WIGHT in a popular 2 minute 
duel.

AELFWINE (82-23244) (34-22-0,198) of BLOODHAMMER CLAN fought LOCAL CONSTABLE (104-22) 
(0-0-0,181).  AELFWINE viciously subdued LOCAL CONSTABLE in a popular 4 minute gory 
duel.  Last turn, Aelfwine was top Lunger, but this turn that honor was claimed by 
Warrior Wight.  But Aelfwine is this turn's favorite fighter.

KANEN VILESTAR (31-6601) (26-18-0,168) of SHADOWHOLD fought THE TEACH (7-6621) (36-25-
3,105) of LADIES OF QUALITY.  KANEN VILESTAR savagely defeated THE TEACH in a popular 
2 minute gory melee.  Kanen is as usual our best Wall of Steel.

MAJOR CINNAMON (97-6894) (10-10-4,67) of UNLIKELY HEROES 18W fought GOLDEN SPIKE (1-
1856) (21-22-0,59) of OBELISK 005.  MAJOR CINNAMON subdued GOLDEN SPIKE in a 2 minute 
match.  No stylemasters in this one, but at least Cinnamon restored his winning 
record.

COMMANDER PANTS (84-48657) (12-3-1,40) of ABSURD HEROES XI fought SPICE (7-6640) (32-
29-5,42) of LADIES OF QUALITY.  COMMANDER PANTS devastated SPICE in am exciting 1 
minute mismatched conflict.  He definitely wore his big-boy pants today.

THE RAVEN (51-3875) (25-12-2,89) of COLLEGE RADIO fought BLOODY MARY (6-7153) (17-19-
2,50) of EAT EM RAW BUG.  THE RAVEN demolished BLOODY MARY in a 1 minute one-sided 
brawl.  No stylemasters, but I thought it was a good fight.  Although, Mary was voted 
the least favorite fighter.  But then there wasn't much to choose from.  She wasn't 
bad.

ZYRO (33-8118) (31-33-0,70) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought BOOKIE'S GUARD (104-5) (35-18-
0,75).  ZYRO was viciously subdued by BOOKIE'S GUARD in a 2 minute gory conflict.  
Meh.  At least he lasted more than a minute.  I've run from that bookie's guard 
before.

Well, that's all there is to say.  I hope there's something more exciting to report 
next turn.

                                          Cheerio!

Kanen Vilestar -- Good job holding out for two minutes against a veteran like me.  And 
glad I could teach you a couple of skills. -- Philthry

Kylroi -- Ack!  Scary guy!  I was lucky to break your weapon, and so our team had a 2-
0 turn, which is pretty unusual.  Well fought, though. -- Pelis the True

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
