And a cheery top of the afternoon to you all. Well, there were 13 fights today, no challenges, no avoids, and no deaths. I have adopted a stray cat, who goes for walks with me. His or her name is Francis. I haven't yet invaded the shy creature's privacy to inspect its equipment. It's a pretty creature though, with brownish fur, rings on its bushy tail, and no, it's not a raccoon. Honestly I can tell the difference. JOE MAMA (21-6771) (60-75-1,265) of D.R.I. fought PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (93-130- 1,215) of HIGHLANDERS. JOE MAMA bested PELIS THE TRUE in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Title fight. Of course, Joe Mama is our leading Total Parry and Keeper of the Runeblade. Pelis the True is our overall popularity leader. MIKEL (6-6190) (99-114-3,240) of THE LADY'S LIST fought SIR YVAIN (60-9076) (33-25- 2,183) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS. MIKEL was vanquished by SIR YVAIN in an exciting 1 minute uneven battle. Sir Yvain is top Slasher, which is kind of a surprise. ASSUR (18-7821) (122-162-2,215) of ARROGANCE fought RYANATOR (33-3462) (43-40-0,193) of OBSIDIAN HALL. ASSUR overpowered RYANATOR in a crowd pleasing 1 minute gory mismatched duel. Assur is top Basher. PHILTHRY (42-2079) (102-97-0,190) of HIGHLANDERS fought KANEN VILESTAR (31-6601) (27- 19-0,174) of SHADOWHOLD. PHILTHRY overpowered KANEN VILESTAR in a crowd pleasing 1 minute mismatched match. Philthry is our top Parry-Strike, while Mr. Vilestar is top Wall of Steel. WARRIOR WIGHT (47-7978) (22-7-0,210) of SPECTRAL STEEL fought DIRK CHOLERA (104-29) (80-50-4,250). WARRIOR WIGHT slimly lost to DIRK CHOLERA in a 2 minute fight. At least the Wight gave the notorious Bandit Prince a run for his money, and he is also our top Lunger. BATTLE BANSHEE (47-7979) (26-27-2,199) of SPECTRAL STEEL fought DIRK CHOLERA (104-29) (80-50-4,250). BATTLE BANSHEE was devastated by DIRK CHOLERA in a 1 minute mismatched match. The Banshee is top Striker. AELFWINE (82-23244) (36-22-0,205) of BLOODHAMMER CLAN fought BLIND BEGGAR (104-26) (40-35-0,200). AELFWINE was overcome by BLIND BEGGAR in an action packed 2 minute gruesome fight. Hmm. JHAARAN (10-2017) (33-38-2,184) of THE HOLY LEGION fought KILLER KARCH (69-5668) (24- 20-2,179) of SAND KINGS. JHAARAN unbelievably bested KILLER KARCH in an action packed 2 minute gory duel. Killer Karch is this turn's favorite fighter. SIR LUCAN (60-9077) (33-31-0,176) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS fought THE TEACH (7-6621) (36- 26-3,119) of LADIES OF QUALITY. SIR LUCAN vanquished THE TEACH in a popular 1 minute one-sided duel. Sir Lucan is our top Aimed Blow, while The Teach is top Parry- Riposte. KYLROI (40-4534) (35-27-0,156) of GRIZZLED VETERANS fought KHALHUMS DWARF (104-10) (0- 0-0,150). KYLROI overpowered KHALHUMS DWARF in a 1 minute one-sided melee. There is nothing to say about this fight! NIGHT STALKER (29-262) (23-31-1,101) of LIVING DEAD fought THE RAVEN (51-3875) (27-12- 2,94) of COLLEGE RADIO. NIGHT STALKER was overpowered by THE RAVEN in a 1 minute one- sided match. I'm sorry to report that Night Stalker was voted this turn's least popular fighter. However, in such a small arena, that doesn't really mean much, so don't take it personally. MAJOR CINNAMON (97-6894) (11-11-4,59) of UNLIKELY HEROES 18W fought SPICE (7-6640) (32-31-5,32) of LADIES OF QUALITY. MAJOR CINNAMON viciously subdued SPICE in a crowd pleasing 3 minute brutal conflict. I should make a play on names here, but I can't think of anything. ZYRO (33-8118) (31-35-0,76) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought GOLDEN SPIKE (1-1856) (22-23-0,71) of OBELISK 005. ZYRO savagely defeated GOLDEN SPIKE in a popular 3 minute bloody brawl. This was one of the longest two fights of the day. Not very long. The Unknown Spymaster advises us that it's been real, and it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun. I disagree. It's been fun, but I don't feel as though it's been real. I would like to add that everyone on the D.R.I. team wears pantyhose. I know because I spoke with their laundress. Well, I think that's all. I'm off to walk Francis. Cheerio! Malic of Talcama KEEPER OF THE RUNEBLADE W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY JOE MAMA 21-6771 61 75 1 271 D.R.I.

No doubt it was a Good Deed to give goats to people who wanted them. But why did the goats have to be gathered in HIS office? Four of them, and they were a lot like gladiators: not smelly maybe, they were clean goats, but pushy and sure they were the most important thing around. Maybe they should be enrolled in the arena? No, there were only four, not enough for a team. He shook his head to clear it of the image of armored goats with sharpened horns. One thing at a time. He pulled a piece of paper out of his desk drawer, dipped his pen in the ink, and began to write. "It is our pleasure and honor to note that ninety-eight gladiators and teams have elected to change their names, supporting the contribution of goats to deserving people. With the Commission's matching funds, this has purchased four goats--a good goat can't be purchased for a copper, you know. The goats are already en route to their new homes, where they will be--" He paused and thought about it. "--very welcome. We wish all the best to the goats and the new goat-owners."
