                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

    Wind and rain!  They tell me it makes the farmers happy.  I wouldn't know, I'm not 
a farmer.  I'm a janitor, and everybody, arena staff, gladiators, managers, fans, 
bookies, EVERYBODY is TRACKING IN MUD!  We've got mats at the doors for a REASON, you 
know.

     Oh, well.  Debby Tonte did the notes this time.  I don't mind her.  She leaves 
interesting things behind in the office.  Ah, things to DRINK, you know?  They have 
fruit and umbrellas in them, and if it keeps raining, we're going to NEED the 
umbrellas.
     Warckers were most avoided, by Shadow Lancers.  This is not news.
     Twenty-nine fights, two challenges, one death, and apparently no stand-bys at 
all.  The standbys are annoyed, rampaging up and down the halls waving their 
tentacles.

The challenges:
     VLADIA THE IMPALER (22-4893) (27-19-1,106) of SHADOW LANCERS challenged BANALADAR 
(82-37977) (16-9-0,108) of SUPERIOR FORCES 5703.  Of course.  She always challenges.  
Up 2.  VLADIA THE IMPALER viciously subdued BANALADAR in a 2 minute Challenge fight.  
Not only does she always challenge, she GOT the most challenges.  She often does.
     VAGABOND (22-5097) (22-14-2,92) of SHADOW LANCERS challenged DORI (30-5494) (17-
8-0,65) of WRATHMEN.  Down 27.  VAGABOND narrowly defeated DORI in a exciting 2 minute 
Challenge melee.  Vagabond got six points for that win.

For the title:
     ALBINO RAINBOW (11-6238) (84-45-3,242) of WAR-C-KERS fought SUPERIOR SNOTLING 
(18-10095) (22-5-0,216) of SUPERIOR FORCES 6N.  ALBINO RAINBOW savagely defeated 
SUPERIOR SNOTLING in a 5 minute Title duel.  Five minutes, eh?  Looks like that match 
is getting close.

Otherwise:
     BALOR (7-5894) (48-32-0,218) of DEMONS & DEVILS fought HIDDEN DOOM (82-12390) 
(43-22-2,209) of HAUNTED CASTLE.  BALOR narrowly defeated HIDDEN DOOM in a exciting 4 
minute bloody fight.  If Hidden was fatter, this would not have worked.
     G.I.I.L. (12-5155) (49-69-0,219) of SUPERIOR FORCES 22T fought KHADAAAN (26-5241) 
(28-10-0,232) of WRATHMEN XXVII.  G.I.I.L. was bested by KHADAAAN in a popular 1 
minute duel.  It's those extra As.  Khadaaan is quad-A.
     VALERIAN (82-17255) (38-14-0,214) of SUPERIOR FORCES IS fought BEAULIEU (41-3057) 
(66-57-0,214) of WRATHMEN.  VALERIAN viciously subdued BEAULIEU in a crowd pleasing 6 
minute bloody match.  Huh, six minutes.  That was a good one.
     REAL GUANO (75-3088) (70-31-2,230) of SECOND CHANCES fought AIKEN (71-3933) (73-
55-1,239) of SUPERIOR FORCES Y4.  REAL GUANO overpowered AIKEN in a 1 minute uneven 
melee.  Yuck.
     INNY MEANIE (24-4656) (41-33-2,217) of MONEY PIT fought CAT IN THE HAT (24-3103) 
(206-128-1,203) of THE SEUSS HEUSS.  INNY MEANIE lost to CAT IN THE HAT in a action 
packed 3 minute duel.  You can't trust cats.

     POSITIVE (26-3633) (179-110-1,281) of WARCKERS fought JULIANNE (84-19630) (38-67-
0,194) of SUPE FORCES 2A02.  POSITIVE overpowered JULIANNE in a popular 1 minute gory 
uneven duel.  Positively no surprise.
      OHMYGOD (63-2147) (72-45-1,252) of WRATHMEN fought K. CARSON (8-3609) (38-36-
0,191) of SUPERIOR FORCES.  OHMYGOD overpowered K. CARSON in a 1 minute one-sided 
melee.  Experience will do that.
     COLYN SHEA (30-5368) (37-20-2,214) of WRATHMEN fought MERCURY RISING (97-1378) 
(26-25-4,185) of WAR SEEKERS.  COLYN SHEA overpowered MERCURY RISING in a crowd 
pleasing 1 minute one-sided match.  The astrologers are annoyed and say it's unfair 
because Mercury is retrograde right now.  So?  Let it turn around and go forward 
again.
     FURTIVE RETURNS (29-4186) (121-267-1,192) of SUPERIOR FORCES 5R fought SILENT 
DOOM (82-12389) (27-15-0,204) of HAUNTED CASTLE.  FURTIVE RETURNS handily defeated 
SILENT DOOM in a 1 minute one-sided contest.  For the gods' sake, Doom, YELL a little.  
It might help.  Nobody likes silence.  Nature abhors a silence.  It's some kind of 
natural law.
     DARK CHAMPION (4-5689) (63-53-0,199) of DEMON LORE fought BLUE GREEN ALGAE (82-
9099) (16-11-1,193) of SUPERIOR FORCES 5V.  DARK CHAMPION subdued BLUE GREEN ALGAE in 
a 2 minute brawl.  Is this like being stronger than dirt?

     SAVORY (32-4143) (101-122-1,193) of DEAD WE SUCK fought DREAM CATCHER (74-3177) 
(52-51-2,201) of SECOND CHANCES.  SAVORY was overpowered by DREAM CATCHER in a popular 
1 minute mismatched conflict.  Ah, savory was just a passing dream.  Back to bland 
food.
     LLUPERIOR (33-6529) (83-108-1,188) of SUPERIOR FORCES 2Y fought ERICKA BEARICKA 
(63-2461) (73-64-0,195) of MONSTER CHILD.  LLUPERIOR was viciously subdued by ERICKA 
BEARICKA in a crowd pleasing 6 minute bout.  They tell me that some of these 
relatively long fights are because the gladiators were stunned by the large hailstones 
that accompanied our rain.  Don't believe it.
     YOURBAGD FOREVER (47-6968) (24-12-0,196) of THE OPERA fought NAKED TRUTH (15-
5162) (65-46-2,198) of BOOK OF THOMAS.  YOURBAGD FOREVER handily defeated NAKED TRUTH 
in a 3 minute mismatched bout.  Yeahyeahyeah, tell me about it.  Bah.
     MACHINE (56-3795) (55-54-0,208) of DIRTIE fought SNOWY SNOW (30-4597) (35-27-
0,151) of CRYSTAL PALACE.  MACHINE devastated SNOWY SNOW in a 1 minute one-sided 
fight.  As to what "snowy snow" is besides dirty--AND ALL OVER THE FLOOR--don't ask 
ME.  Nobody tells me anything.  Ever.
     B'ZIADUL (71-3311) (78-53-1,206) of WRATHMEN XIV fought LOKI (71-3798) (32-31-
2,200) of SUPERIOR FORCES Y3.  B'ZIADUL subdued LOKI in a 2 minute bout.  Tricky job, 
that Loki is a slippery one.

     SIF (71-3925) (32-32-1,184) of SUPERIOR FORCES Y3 fought SACRIFICE (82-12669) 
(37-21-2,201) of GAMES PEOPLE PLAY.  SIF was overpowered by SACRIFICE in a crowd 
pleasing 2 minute bloody one-sided match.  Somebody told me Sif deserved this.  I 
dunno, that's another thing nobody tells me.
     UGH LEE (24-5247) (34-16-1,205) of GARBAGE PAIL KIDS 4 fought SSSS (82-14051) 
(17-29-0,203) of SUPERIOR FORCES 6D.  UGH LEE bested SSSS in a popular 1 minute bout.  
Good!  That Ssss is a byword and a hissing around here.
     SHAVED MONKEY (71-5133) (55-39-0,196) of SECOND CHANCES fought SALLANCHE (18-
8925) (27-7-1,167) of SUPERIOR FORCES 6N.  SHAVED MONKEY viciously subdued SALLANCHE 
in a popular 2 minute gruesome match.  It'd be less gruesome if the monkey didn't 
shave.  Who knew he liked tattoos?
     LITTLE MOKELE 2 (18-9946) (40-24-0,201) of SUPERIOR FORCES 6N fought SAPPER (26-
4243) (27-20-2,177) of SHERWOOD FOREST.  LITTLE MOKELE 2 vanquished SAPPER in a 1 
minute mismatched fray.  And messy it was, too.  Sap all over the place.
     MAXIMUM EFFORT (82-11013) (40-51-1,189) of SUPERIOR FORCES 1W fought YUCKY TUCKY 
(26-4460) (23-13-1,152) of SHERWOOD FOREST.  MAXIMUM EFFORT overpowered YUCKY TUCKY in 
a popular 1 minute gruesome one-sided match.  Yep.  Maximum was enough.  Remember 
that.

     MERCURY'S SPIRIT (97-2218) (23-23-5,158) of WAR SEEKERS' fought BELA LUGOSI (40-
4114) (60-76-1,139) of SUPERIOR FORCES.  MERCURY'S SPIRIT overpowered BELA LUGOSI in a 
1 minute uneven fight.  Despite being retrograde, huh?  Good show.
     SECRET DOOM (82-13973) (25-17-2,174) of HAUNTED CASTLE fought EVENING STAR (60-
8819) (42-67-0,180) of SUPERIOR FORCES 60.  SECRET DOOM defeated EVENING STAR in a 
exciting 2 minute bout.  Nope.  Cloudy, no evening star visible.
     DE DE MAO (26-4397) (28-19-2,175) of SHERWOOD FOREST fought HUNGRY HIPPO (82-
49609) (14-9-0,123) of SUPERIOR FORCES 5411.  DE DE MAO lost to HUNGRY HIPPO in a 
action packed 2 minute bout.  And De De is now crunched and munched.
     SACRED DOOM (82-10660) (1-1-0,4) of HAUNTED CASTLE 3 fought DEREN (1-9212) (16-5-
0,69) of WRATHMEN.  SACRED DOOM handily defeated DEREN in a 1 minute uneven bout.  
Debby says, "MVP award for SACRED DOOM?  HAUNTED CASTLE 3's proud of her after beating 
DEREN and getting 49 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  DEREN got smashed by 
SACRED DOOM, and lost 43 points!"
     RAVEN (71-3435) (23-33-2,81) of SUPERIOR FORCES Y3 fought JUSTICE (26-4709) (26-
26-0,88) of WARCKERS.  RAVEN narrowly defeated JUSTICE in a action packed 8 minute 
brutal competition.  "Nevermore," right?

And the death, very Andorian--an assassination:
     ONE (41-5011) (16-9-1,44) of NUMBER fought BONESCALE (26-5299) (18-5-1,86) of 
WARCKERS.  ONE was assassinated by BONESCALE in a action packed 1 minute gory uneven 
fight.  That's one down!

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Raven -- Quoth the Raven... -- Vagabond

All -- What exactly is 'Snowy Snow' anyway? -- Vladia

Fred -- I was walking through the streets of Andorak the other day with no particular 
destination in mind and I was thinking... about what Zontani said.  I know you said it 
was nonsense, but what if six warriors did die in a week?  Could a city really perish?  
Whatever happened to arenas such as Andor and Khalhums?  Was it a curse, nothing more 
than a coincidence, or perhaps those places were just doomed to die out?  When I was a 
young girl I used to hear travelers refer to Andorak as "Little Khalhums" among other 
things.  What does history tell us about these places and why they are no more?  The 
Shadow Lancers may not always agree with Andorian politics, but we are still curious 
about Andorian history. -- Vladia

     Well, let me think about it.  Ask around, you know?  Somebody might remember 
     those places. -- Fred

                        FIRST INAUGURAL ARVAT CONTEST SUPREME

Who can join?  Anyone with a team in Arvat as of 2/1/2018.

When does it start?  First turn due after 2/1/2018.

How long does it run? 13 turns.

How do I join?  Announce your manager name and team name in the Arvat newsletter prior 
to 2/1/2017 and state that you are entering the contest.  Prior to the contest 
actually starting you need to have 2 rollup certs sent to the Dark One care of RSI.

How do I win the contest? The team which has accrued the most points as of the end of 
the 13th turn is the winner.  The team which has the 2nd most points is declared the 
runner up.  And the team which has the 3rd most points is declared honorable 
contender.  Everyone else is a loser and should be ridiculed.

How do I score points?

1)  Every challenge you win vs. another team in the contest = 10 points, as long as 
    that challenge is to a warrior equal to or above yours in the rankings.  Except 
    for the Duelmaster who can challenge anyone he wants.

2)  You also earn bonus points for every challenge won.  For every point of 
    recognition your target is ranked above you, you earn one bonus point.  This is 
    for challenges only.

3)  If you are challenged by a warrior below you and defeat him, you will gain 5 
    points.

4)  Also every random matchup against a contest team that you win will earn you 5 
    points -- up or down.

5)  You CAN downchallenge, however you get no points for doing so, and if you are 
    beaten, your opponent will earn 10 points and the right to ridicule you in the 
    newsletter.

6)  Bloodfeud challenges count just like regular challenges during the contest.

7)  In addition there are the following bonus points that are awarded each turn:

    A)  Duelmaster earns 10 points

    B)  Graduating a warrior earns 10 points

    C)  Recognition Leader (Chartered or Unchartered) earns 5 points (if the 
        Duelmaster is the recognition leader as well, then only the DM points apply)

    D)  Popularity Leader earns 5 points

    E)  Turn's most popular earns 5 points

    F)  Top team on the move earns 5 points

    G)  Current Top team earns 10 points

    H)  Any warrior that earns a Tournament Champion in either the April Mail In or 
        July FTF tournament earns 20 points

    I)  Any warrior that earns a Tournament Victor in either of those tournaments 
        earns 10 points

    J)  Note that Top Chartered and Unchartered team awards do NOT earn points

What are the rules regarding other teams in the arena?  If you challenge any warriors 
not participating in the contest you LOSE 20 points, unless the challenged warrior is 
the Duelmaster.  If any manager has a 2nd (or 3rd) team in the arena they may NOT 
challenge any warrior of any team participating in the contest or they are 
DISQUALIFIED.

What do I win if I win this contest? 

1)  The winner wins all of the rollup certificates given as entry fee for the contest.  
    In addition, the winner gets to pick 3 of the prizes below.

2)  The runner up gets to pick 2 of the prizes below.

3)  The honorable contender gets to pick one of the prizes below.

In addition, all competitors in the contest who run all 13 turns and at least 62 total 
fights will earn 1 potion of +1 bonus, which must be used on a warrior who 
participated at least 1 fight in the contest.  

Also, the team that scores the most points on any one turn of the contest (other than 
the winner, runner up or honorable contender) can pick one prize that was NOT selected 
by those three.

Prizes:

1)  Limited stat switch (You can swap any 2 stats you want on an Arvat replacement 
    rollup that you received within the next 6 month)

2)  Extra replacements (Next time you get a replacement (or whenever you want within 6 
    months) in Arvat you can ask RSI for 5 additional replacements and select the best 
    one for your team)

3)  Limited damage bump (You can pick one warrior on your Arvat team to move up one 
    damage class -- as long as he remains in-bounds for his ST/SZ stats)

4)  Favorite weapon knowledge (You learn the favorite weapon of one of your Arvat 
    warriors -- must be on the team during the contest)

5)  Favorite rhythm knowledge (You learn the favorite offensive effort and activity 
    level of one of your Arvat warriors, who most have been on your team during the 
    contest)

6)  Shrinking potion (You get to take 3 points of size away from an Arvat replacement 
    during the next 6 months and add the 3 points to another stat -- both SZ and the 
    other stat must remain in bounds)

    choice (no more than 2 can be in the same area and must be in bounds)

8)  Extra train (Any one of your Arvat warriors gets an extra stat train in the area 
    of your choice -- and must be in bounds)

9)  The Dark One's Massive Rollup prize (You get 50 team sheets, at random, from the 
    Dark One's massive pile of teams.  Most will be mediocre at best, but there are 
    plenty of decent to good warrior prospects in there!)

All prizes must be applied within 6 months from the end of the tournament, must be on 
Arvat warriors on the team that participated in the contest and must be in bounds.
