                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hullo there!

We had 15 fights today, 8 of which involved stand-ins, so that means 22 gladiators 
took part in the festivities... if my math is correct.  Not my best subject.  No one 
challenged, no one avoided, no one died.

AELFWINE (82-23244) (43-23-0,270) of BLOODHAMMER CLAN fought ASSUR (18-7821) (128-164-
2,221) of ARROGANCE.  AELFWINE devastated ASSUR in an action packed 1 minute 
mismatched Title fight.  So, Aelfwine is still Keeper of the Runeblade, although oddly 
not a stylemaster.

WARRIOR WIGHT (47-7978) (27-10-0,225) of SPECTRAL STEEL fought SOLACIA (104-24) (68-
32-0,225).  WARRIOR WIGHT demolished SOLACIA in a popular 1 minute gruesome one-sided 
melee.  Warrior Wight is our leading Lunger, and Solacia certainly deserved it.

SIR YVAIN (60-9076) (38-28-2,211) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS fought SHADOWMANE (104-28) (0-0-
0,200).  SIR YVAIN was devastated by SHADOWMANE in a popular 1 minute one-sided 
contest.

MIKEL (6-6190) (105-116-3,209) of THE LADY'S LIST fought PHILTHRY (42-2079) (106-101-
0,203) of HIGHLANDERS.  MIKEL subdued PHILTHRY in a crowd pleasing 1 minute 
competition.  Mikel is top Slasher, Philthry is top Parry-Strike.

BATTLE BANSHEE (47-7979) (29-32-2,192) of SPECTRAL STEEL fought FERD THE TOWER (104-
27) (120-15-8,280).  BATTLE BANSHEE was vanquished by FERD THE TOWER in a 1 minute 
mismatched fight.  The Banshee is top Striker.

PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (96-135-1,188) of HIGHLANDERS fought SYLKE (16-6221) (39-15-
0,155) of FANGDOR HOLD.  PELIS THE TRUE viciously subdued SYLKE in an action packed 3 
minute gruesome fight.  Mr. True is top Basher and, as usual, overall poultry leader.

SIR LUCAN (60-9077) (38-34-0,206) of MYTHICAL KNIGHTS fought SHADOWMANE (104-28) (0-0-
0,200).  SIR LUCAN lost to SHADOWMANE in an action packed 3 minute gory duel.  Sir 
Lucan is top Aimed Blow.

KANEN VILESTAR (31-6601) (29-25-0,193) of SHADOWHOLD fought SHADOWMANE (104-28) (0-0-
0,200).  KANEN VILESTAR slimly won victory over SHADOWMANE in a popular 7 minute gory 
duel.  Vilestar is our leading Wall of Steel.

JHAARAN (10-2017) (35-44-2,173) of THE HOLY LEGION fought KILLER KARCH (69-5668) (27-
25-2,150) of SAND KINGS.  JHAARAN was savagely defeated by KILLER KARCH in a popular 2 
minute gory melee.

THE TEACH (7-6621) (38-32-4,177) of LADIES OF QUALITY fought THE RAVEN (51-3875) (29-
18-2,142) of COLLEGE RADIO.  THE TEACH demolished THE RAVEN in a crowd pleasing 1 
minute mismatched match.  The Teach is top Parry-Riposte.  The Raven is this turn's 
least popular fighter.  I guess folks lost money on him.

ZYRO (33-8118) (37-37-0,158) of OBSIDIAN HALL fought LOCAL CONSTABLE (104-22) (0-0-
0,181).  ZYRO was bested by LOCAL CONSTABLE in an exciting 2 minute bloody battle.

SPICE (7-6640) (37-34-5,91) of LADIES OF QUALITY fought MAJOR CINNAMON (97-6894) (14-
16-4,61) of UNLIKELY HEROES 18W.  SPICE beat MAJOR CINNAMON in a crowd pleasing 2 
minute gory conflict.

RAMYL (85-4491) (15-8-2,81) of DARK CONSTRUCTS IX fought COCKY SPECTATOR (104-3) (0-0-
0,0).  RAMYL won victory over COCKY SPECTATOR in a crowd pleasing 2 minute bout.

ELLINGTON (82-56846) (19-36-0,51) of COMPOSERS fought INKEEPER'S SON (104-4) (15-15-
0,40).  ELLINGTON was vanquished by INKEEPER'S SON in a 3 minute one-sided fray.

NIGHT STALKER (29-262) (25-36-1,61) of LIVING DEAD fought GOLDEN SPIKE (1-1856) (23-
30-0,41) of OBELISK 005.  NIGHT STALKER was devastated by GOLDEN SPIKE in a 2 minute 
brutal one-sided fight.

Snide Clemens says there's got to be a better place to drink in Darkholm than the 
Goodeve Tavern.  Sure there is!  Come on up to the Tower and we'll have a party.  
Cheerio!

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
