Reflections by the Chief Tower Guard
I stand before you once again, noble Crysalis. It is a great honor to once
again be your Chief Tower Guard. I salute Juninho for a gallant effort.
Is anyone motivated and ready for a little bare-handed fisticuffs? Let's put it
on the line, Lord Protectors! The fans are going wild and we are going to put on a
show they will not soon forget!! ALL warriors are called to fight with no weapon,
armor, shield or helm this turn. ALL warriors are called to make no challenges or
avoids this turn. This is an historic event and should be fun! Let's do it!
I note the following managers stand ready for "Crysalis Craziness" this turn:
The Icelord, High Lord Bosk, Sultan, AK47, Crip, Baphomet, Daehir, Abraxis, Jorja and
Master Darque. I thank you for your support in this great event. I am sure Ketchum
will have an awesome spy report for us.
I will be fighting any and all matches this turn unarmed. I challenge and avoid
no one this turn. Just to let you know, if I lose my title to someone bearing arms,
I will be coming back with a vengeance. Fair warning. I'll probably even take it
out on the offender's teammates too. <shrug> I admit, I'm vindictive.
Good luck to all of those who duel in the Halloween tourney! Salute!

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
So here we are, a crisp and cold morning with the sound of the cotton gin and
the smell of roasting chiles in the air. Not bad. Well, I could do without the
cotton gin. I prefer MY gin in bottles.
Today is the bare-fisted contest, and it's playing to a sold out crowd. Even
the locker rooms are sold out! Seventy-eight fights, which is more than we've seen
here in a while. There are warriors here I've never seen in my life. Probably most
of these warriors won't be here next time, but then again, when they see how much FUN
it is....
Of those seventy-eight fights, five were challenge matches, with Disco Queen
getting the most, my guess on that would be two. No avoides were issued. The
longest fight was eighteen minutes. Come on, now! Unarmed, unarmored, and immortal?
You can do worse than that! Nine standbys fought, knowing a good thing when they see
it--THEY had armor and weapons.
It will be interesting to hear, in the personals next time, how many unarmed
contestants found themselves matched with armed warriors.
Here, in brief, because I'm late with this report, are the fights:
SUNFLASH (45-3474) (25-20-1,69) of NORTHERN LIGHTS fought MOSGIEL (14-3836) (23-

0,50) of College of Mimes. EGAN FORN was devastated by R.O.U.S. in a 1 minute
mismatched match. Anyone who faced a standby today, bare-haned and unarmored, was in
trouble, of course. The standbys aren't in it for the sport, THEY didn't come out
empty-handed.

(36-45-0,203) of SIR AGLIO. MISS ZING viciously subdued SIR LOIN in an action packed
6 minute gruesome duel.
NEWT GINGRICH (5-3399) (70-25-0,238) of PARTY ANIMALS fought BALCLUTHA (14-3169)
(30-38-1,191) of OTAGO HIGHLANDERS. NEWT GINGRICH overcame BALCLUTHA in an action
packed 3 minute fight.
POPE JOHN (79-235) (42-33-0,247) of CHAPEL ROCK fought PRINCE OF AR (31-3625)
(16-14-1,185) of THE STORMBRINGERS. POPE JOHN beat PRINCE OF AR in a 3 minute brawl.
And our few challenge matches:
GUTTERBALL (78-2344) (20-20-1,62) of PBA challenged RANCID WAIF (8-4413) (18-13-
0,90) of HAPLESS WAIF. Up 28. GUTTERBALL was subdued by RANCID WAIF in a 3 minute
Challenge competition. Is this where you yell "Fore!" or am I thinking of the wrong
ball?
PROOKIE (78-2345) (24-15-1,100) of PBA challenged DEBBIE DAHMER (45-3579) (27-
10-1,111) of MORDRED'S MADMEN. Up 11. PROOKIE was devastated by DEBBIE DAHMER in a
1 minute one-sided Challenge fight.
GRINNON BEARIT (47-2955) (24-14-3,104) of THE BEAR'S PAW challenged MATADOR (11-
4139) (47-34-2,140) of ANDORIAN KNIGHTS. Up 36. GRINNON BEARIT savagely defeated
MATADOR in an action packed 3 minute Challenge fight.
BEARNICE (47-2847) (18-17-6,112) of THE BEAR'S PAW challenged DISCO QUEEN (47-
1992) (36-17-1,175) of ROYAL FLUSH. Up 63. BEARNICE slimly lost to DISCO QUEEN in
an action packed 4 minute Challenge battle. This was Most Challenged Disco Queen.
Not that Bearnice got much for it.
300 (78-2346) (22-19-0,133) of PBA challenged KYRA (51-3774) (43-48-1,148) of
SAND DANCERS. Up 15. 300 bested KYRA in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Challenge fight.
And for the title, a random match: FENGAR II (20-61) (116-79-2,343) of
OVERLORDS fought DUNEDIN (14-3703) (31-42-0,216) of OTAGO HIGHLANDERS. FENGAR II
bested DUNEDIN in a popular 4 minute bloody Title duel. And our congratulations go
out, again, to Fenger II.

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Many thanks to all managers and Lord Protectors who will be participating in
"Crysalis Craziness" this turn! Tickets are hard to come by as the fans want to see
all-out bare-handed action. It should be an historic event. I hope to see a lot of
personals on what transpired as viewed by the managers. All my warriors are fighting
unarmed no matter who they face. May the strong survive. -- The Icelord
Only the bare minimum in the spy report this time, as there were scheduling
problems. But if people will email me good bits about this turn to mention NEXT
time, I'll do it. You know, especially good exchanges, who was armed and who
wasn't, what kind of rude comments were exchanged--anything you'd like to see in
the spy report that we can get past Ed.. -- Ketchum (send to Livia@reality.com)
Baphomet -- Your spotlight states I had 4 down-challenges since turn 138, yet I only
see 3 of my warriors listed: 2 on #145 and 1 on #148. I may have had more than 3,
not sure if I had any on turns 140 & 141. I also believe that a warrior that holds
the title is obligated to challenge and we all know that 99% of the time that will be
a down-challenge. Once you get the throne, you should hold it as long as you can.
My title holders will always down-challenge. (Fengar will NOT issue a challenge this
turn!) There is also about a dozen managers in Ghea that I will down-challenge at
will. They have earned that great honor. Some say RSI should change the rules and
not allow DCing. I say "pack sand" to those who propose this. Anyway, a good topic
that never fails to elicit comments. Salute. -- The Icelord
Master Darque -- It will be good to see your warriors participate in the unarmed
craziness. I hope our warriors get matched up. Should be fun. -- The Icelord
Is it just me or does it seem the learning rates in Crysalis are slow? -- The Icelord
It's a slow arena.
Mirta -- I understand. -- Krac D'Chevaliers
Belgoroth -- Well fought. -- Talos
Crysalis -- As we celebrate turn #150, let us remember THE PROTECTORS CREED:
Upon the separate powers of our faith, we hereby proclaim and declare our
Allegiance to Alastari, Land under the Bright Stars. We are together resolved to
protect the Land against all who would array themselves as its foes.
By our symbol in the Guardian Sword, we pledge to hold ready our arms in defense
of the Land and all who dwell therein, from the greatest even unto the least.
In remembrance of the arena cities from whence we hail, we further declare our
long standing brotherhood to all who contest with steel in the gladiatorial games.
If fate or duty should stand us in battle against any of these, our brethren, it
shall be our common mercy to spare these their lives, striving then only to show
forth our mastery at arms.
Should any of us become bound in quest, beyond the sands of the arena, it is our
firm resolve to stand united in answer to the needs of the land.
To the bane of all creatures who would league themselves as enemies of Alastari,
wizard or warrior, of this world or any other, these vows we do swear.
Let us all salute Crysalis on turn #150!! -- Chief Tower Guard, Lord Protector
Fengar II
Blank -- I was so confused. The arenamaster announced the fight, and I looked around
for my opponent, and there was no one there! And then blows came in out of
nowhere.... Ouch! -- Snowfall
Balclutha -- You're from a highland area, hmm? Maybe the change in altitude has
caused you problems. -- Kitala the Bold
Wheel of Fortune -- It would appear that the fortune was mine this time. At least,
the GOOD fortune, since it's still fortune when it's malign...as we've both seen in
our careers. -- Mirta
Lumbering Waif -- Oh, my, talk about type casting! -- Kyra
P.S. Why aren't you a Shew?
Laphroaig -- Maybe you'd have done better as a double? -- Dannia tyl Sio
Mosgiel -- Ah. You're one of those short guys who tries harder, aren't you? -- Egan
Forn
Binge N Purge -- That kind of thing isn't good for you. Stop at once! -- Sunflash
Ak47 -- Explain to me why I should care? -- Kitala the Bold and Bored
Baphomet -- Any time. -- Leeta
P.S. If you're coming to Aruak City, look me up as Krill Cavalry.
Baphomet -- You say you want me to write personals, so be it! I see that AK47 now
calls you Babe-o-meat. Is there something I should know old friend? -- Abraxis
Queens, Dairy and Beauty -- Belated response to your question: "What kind of game
does a pair of Sirs beat a pair of Queens?" The kind of game I subscribe to! -- Sir
Aglio
Sandman -- Good challenge, but if you ask me, lousy outcome. -- Sir Ly, miserable
All -- Best of luck to all the nude warriors! -- Sultan
P.S. I personally brought out a few extras for the occasion. I thought Master
Darque's idea was a good one. If this is successful, i.e., my warriors mostly win, I
say we repeat it every 10 turns. Crysalis Craziness would catch on! Once again,
thanks to Icelord for bringing up this event.

Youngblood's Three and Out Contest
I would like to take this time to announce and invite all managers to compete in what
I think will be an awesome contest. If you haven't ever TC'd at a tourney before,
here is your chance. The contest will start Wednesday, December 1, 2004, but a
chance will be given November 17 to dark arena, only, any warrior that you do not see
fit to run in the contest. So now that I have your attention, here are the rules
(like you didn't know they were coming sooner or later).
1. Any manager participating can enter one team, only.
2. No sandbagging whatsoever. (I will keep up with it, every turn.)
3. No teams or warriors will be allowed to run after contest starts.
4. All warriors will run until they lose three times, after three losses they are
eliminated.
5. If a warrior sits out a turn, they are accounted with a loss in the contest.
This is to keep warriors with winning records from sitting out until the end of
the contest.
6. If a warrior is killed during the contest, the replacement cannot enter the
contest.
7. If a warrior is killed, bloodfeuding is allowed, but only by a warrior that is
active in the contest.
8. If a warrior is run after being eliminated, the manager is disqualified from the
contest, no questions asked.
9. Challenges are legal, up or down.
10. Contest will keep going until 1 warrior is left without three losses, and that
warrior, of course, is accounted the winner.
11. All managers participating will be asked to purchase a rollup certificate, to be
awarded to the winners of the contest.
<<<PRIZES>>>
As I have already said, and according to participation, rollups will be awarded
to the first and second place managers. So the majority and minority of the rollups
will be determined when all are accumulated.
Contest Champion--2 Faves prizes, and majority of rollup certificates
Contest Runner-up--1 Faves prize, and minority of rollup certificates
So once again I invite all managers old and new to participate in what should be
a fierce and challenging contest. <<<REMEMBER, FIRST OFFICIAL TURN OF THE CONTEST IS
DECEMBER THE FIRST, AND AS I SAID BEFORE, THE TURN BEFORE (NOVEMBER 17TH) YOU MAY
DARK ARENA CHALLENGE ONLY!!! ANY WARRIOR WITH ANY FE (FIGHT EXPERIENCE) WHEN THE
CONTEST STARTS WILL BE ELIMINATED FROM THE CONTEST.

JESSIE'S GUIDE TO A GOOD BASHER (2nd Edition)
Greetings. This is a 2nd edition of "Jessie's guide to a good BASHER." I have
had a little more time to upgrade my first article to give you some more info
regarding my favorite style. The major changes are in the weapons and strategies
section. But read the whole thing; I've made other changes as well. Also, this
article doesn't discuss the SCUM basher or other mutant variations of this style. It
deals mainly with ones meant to last past 10-15 fights.
Most new mangers or managers that don't run bashers that much, don't understand
how to make a good basher. Needless to say, they don't run them right either. Even
with the my horde of bashers, each one varies somewhat.
The 4 MOST important things to a basher are DECISE skills, ATTACK skills, DAMAGE
bonus, and maintaining the INITIATIVE. This is also the order of importance as well.
Bashers also learn ATTACK, DECISE and INITIATIVE skills faster than other skills.
They are very similar to slashers in many ways.
1. DECISE SKILLS: A basher needs to strike first, this is why his number of Decise
skills must be high. His bigger size will give him bonus DECISE skills, as well as
bonus INITIATIVE skills. Bashers have poor defense and parrying abilities, this is
why they need to gain the initiative. A BASHER'S best defense is a good OFFENSE.
Speed also gives decise skills. But, I don't add to speed, cause speed isn't vital to
a basher or his performance.
2. ATTACK: After gaining the initiative, the number of attack skills will determine
whether he hits or not. Bashers need to hit what they swing at, 'cause they may not
get another chance to swing. I recommend a 10+ base in attack for a basher. This
means he should have a HIGH ORDER WIT statement for attack. The higher the attack
rating, the easier it will be to get through the parries and dodges of the opponent.
If you check the WIT statement chart, and he doesn't have HIGH ORDER attack, he may
not do well.
3. DAMAGE: This is a MUST for any basher. I would recommend a no less than a GOOD
DAMAGE rating. I prefer GREAT DAMAGE for my bashers, or more. A basher must be able
to do A LOT of damage when he hits, because he is trying to bring his opponent down
fast. He can't afford to let his opponent attack back with the low defensive
abilities the basher has. That is why he needs to make every hit count.
4. INITIATIVE: He needs to start with at least a LOW ORDER initiative WIT statement.
He needs to maintain his attacks to get enough hits to bring his opponent down, so
there is no counter attack. It does no good to strike first if he can't maintain his
initiative. Big size, High WIT, and high DEFTNESS will give your basher extra
starting INITIATIVE skills.
Designing a good basher doesn't take a rocket scientist. If you've been
wondering what to do with big guys, BASHER is the answer. Bashers make excellent
BASIC warriors. And if you get one that has some defensive abilities as well as
offense, he might be good at the higher levels of the game. Smaller bashers that have
higher skill bases, fare better at higher levels of the game than bigger ones with
less skill. The only problem with small ones is surviving BASIC. 'Cause they don't
have the DAMAGE or HIT POINTS the big ones have.
Strength: 10-17 Don't skimp, you need the damage. But WIT is the first concern.
Strength is number 3 in the priority race. You might need a little higher if you have
a small warrior. Remember, you want to at least get a GOOD DAMAGE rating. You can
also train strength later, so don't worry about starting with it too high. I always
try to get odd numbers on strength, 'cause that's where most of the strength
requirements are for basher weapons. 15, 17, 21 STR also give extra skills.
Constitution: 6+ Try to get it to a least 6. If you already have it above 6, don't
add points here. This is low priority for adding points.
Size: 9+ is recommended, but I wouldn't go below 6 unless you got at least a 15
strength. If you have a size 15+, then you can go as low as 10 on the strength. A QS
only needs an 11 strength to wield. You can use it till you get a 12 or more strength
to wield the basher's best weapon, the WARHAMMER. Don't forget big sizes, 12+, get
bonus HIT POINTS, DECISE SKILLS, and INITIATIVE SKILLS. But they also get a penalty
in their starting DEFENSE skills. Smaller ones, 8 or less, get bonus defense, but
fewer hit points. They also get hosed on their DAMAGE bonus. But the smaller ones
usually start out with more skills than the bigger ones.
Wit: 15, 17 or 21. Since a basher starts out with lower skill bases than most styles,
he needs to learn fast. Even if he is only an average basher, he can make up for it
by learning fast. Having a high WIT will help him learn fast. If you have a slow-
learning basher, he won't be competitive after about 10 to 15 fights. The reason is
that the other styles that start with more skills than a basher will pass him up in
the skills department. This will cause many losses and even death. This is a number
ONE priority when adding points.
WILL: If you can't get 15, 17, or 21, don't add points here. WILL is not a basher
priority. If you want your basher to go to ADM, you need at least a 15 WILL. Bashers
are low endurance burn, and don't need high endurance. But it is nice to have. Some
of the best short term bashers have low wills.
Speed: 5+. Speed is not a basher priority. Don't add points here. I don't like 3
speeds, I believe there is a voodoo curse that penalizes you too much.
DEFTNESS: Many managers skimp here. DON'T SKIMP on deftness. I see many managers
see that a roll up has low deftness and automatically say, "Make it a basher." That
greatly damages your basher. For a lunger or slasher who already have A LOT of skills
to start out with, it's okay to have a low deftness. But not a basher who doesn't
have those skills. Deftness is where most of the bonus skills come from. Don't ROB
your basher of the skills, he needs all he can get. I recommend 13+. 11 is okay if
you have a 17 or 21 WIT. I never go below 9 Deftness, period.
BASHER WEAPONS: After experimenting with all of the basher weapons extensively, I
have more info in this area to give.
Basher Weapon Requirements :
Warhammer: STR 13, SZ 3, WIT 9, DEF 7
Mace: STR 13, SZ 3, WIT 7, DEF 5
Morning Star: STR 13, SZE 3, WIT 9, DEF 13
War Flail: STR 11, SZE 3, WIT 7, DEF 7
Quarter Staff: STR 11, SZE 9, WIT 11, DEF 11
Great Axe: STR 13, SZE 3, WIT 9, DEF 11
Greatsword: STR 15, SZE 9, WIT 11, DEF 11
Maul: STR 15, SZE 9, WIT 5, DEF 7
Halberd: STR 17, SZE 9, WIT 11, DEF 11
Those weapons above are well suited to the Basher. Also, weapons that are
marginally suitable are battle axe, broadsword, and fist. You do get a little penalty
for using marginally suitable weapons, but not enough to notice. Your basher's
favorite weapon can only be a well suited one.
Besides strength, other important factors that determine what weapon you equip
your basher with are ENDURANCE and current ATTACK skill level.
If your basher has an ENDURANCE problem, use the QS or WH. Or if he is fighting
against a heavy armored defensive style, these weapons are the best choice. Warhammer
is good against plate. Don't use a ML or HL with an endurance problem, 'cause he
won't last past round one.
If your basher hasn't gained enough skill yet, and is being parried most of the
time, use BIGGER weapons. If you have the strength and endurance, use the ML or HL.
Using these weapons will increase the damage you do, making each hit count. In basic,
when weapon speed its a major factor, big weapons aren't really that slow.
Another tactic I use often with great success is using big weapons for light
armor and lighter ones for heavy armor. Most offenses in basic wear lighter armor and
have fewer hit points. Offensive styles are more deadly to bashers than defensive
styles. Therefore, you need to bring them down as quickly as possible. Using a HL or
ML against scale armor or less usually only takes one or 2 hits to bring an offensive
style down. Defensive styles parry and dodge a lot of your attacks, so you need a
lighter weapon so you won't tire out quickly. Using a warhammer for chainmail and
above will let you last long enough to bring a defensive style down. Warhammer also
does very well against heavy armor.
WARHAMMER: 13 ST required. This is the BEST weapon for a basher without a doubt. Its
light weight and speed are unchallenged against all the other basher weapons. It also
does a surprising amount of damage. Can be used against all armors with great
success. This weapon rarely breaks.
MACE: 13 ST required. This is an okay weapon, but doesn't compare to the WARHAMMER.
It has problems inflicting damage.
Morningstar: 13 ST and DF required. Does good damage, but is slow and heavy. Isn't
worth the endurance burn.
War Flail: 11 STR required. The is the WORST weapon in the game. DON'T USE IT!!!!!
Damage for this weapon is very lame and I have see it bounce off of ALE and NO ARMOR
opponents. I believe daggers and fist do more damage!
Quarterstaff: 11 ST and DF required. This two-handed weapon is light weight, quick
and good against all armors. This is a basher's second best weapon. This weapon's
main problem it breaks too much. I use the fist as a backup when I use the QS, so
when it breaks he doesn't have to draw a backup weapon. Offensive styles may not give
you a chance to draw your backup weapon. With a fist back-up you will continue
attacking after your weapon has broken, maintaining the initiative.
Great Axe: 13 ST and 11 DF required. This is also much like the QS, but weighs a
little more. Does more damage than a QS. It will tire your basher faster. This
weapon also breaks a lot.
Maul: 15 ST required. Does massive damage, but is very heavy and tiresome. This
weapon is a better all-around weapon between it and the halberd. This is the 3rd best
bashing weapon.
Halberd: 17 ST required. Does the most damage in the game. This weapon also is only
for those warriors who have the strength and the endurance for it. This is a bashers
4th best weapon.
Greatsword: 15 STR required. See WAR FLAIL. This weapon also breaks a lot.
Shields: Are well suited to bashers, but don't ever use one. They do hardly any
damage. Don't ever use a shield and any other weapon in a basher's off-hand. They
rarely use their off-hand to parry and when they do use it to attack with you're doing
less damage. When the computer gets to the part in the program where it selects which
hand to use, you want him to use his PRIMARY weapon to do the most DAMAGE. Not to
pick an off-hand weapon that does lesser damage. Also you get an attack bonus for
using 2 hands with many weapons.
Bashers favorite weapon: Well out of 78 Basher ADM graduates, the following is a list
of their favorite weapons.
MS(7), MA(14), GA(4), GS(8), ML(8), WF(8), HL(7), WH(7), QS(9)
You have to try each of them if you want to guess which one it is. If you're
lucky and get the WH, then praise the gods!!
15 of the 78 bashers got the BASH tactic as their favorite tactic. But, I
wouldn't use the BASH tactic, but the DECISE tactic is awesome for a BASHER. I use it
with all my bashers. One basher got DECISE as a favorite tactic. Bash is only good
to use against strong defensive styles after round one. I have used the DEFENSE or
PARRY tactics in DESP. with great success. I will chose the one that the basher has a
WIT statement in. IE: If he has a DEFENSE statement I use DODGE tactic in DESP. If a
parry statement then PARRY in DESP. If neither, then PARRY 'cause it's almost always
higher than DEFENSE for a basher.
Basher armor: ALE/S or H to start. If he doesn't seem to get the jump on most of his
opponents, then go to heavy armor. You can 'sponge' your opponents, by taking hits
and hope to get to hit them when they're tired. But if they do too much damage to you
first, you will lose.
Favorite Rhythms: Offense effort should be between 8-10 the first minute and 5-8
thereafter. In DESP. 5-10. Activity Level should be 5-10 in the first minute and 1-3
thereafter. IN DESP between 1-10. KD between 5-7 all rounds.
Typical Strategy:
MIN: 1 2 3 4 5 6 DESP
========================================
OFF. 10 8 5 5 5 5 10
----------------------------------------
AVT. 10 3 1 1 1 1 6
----------------------------------------
KD. 7 6 6 6 6 6 6
----------------------------------------
Att. RA RA RA RA RA RA RA
----------------------------------------
Pro. HE HE HE HE HE HE HE
----------------------------------------
TAC. DECISE in minute one. Bash in later minutes against scum or heavy defensive
styles. Defense or parry in DESP.
If you aim for the limbs, you can take your opponent down quickly. Bashers tend
to hit the upper half of the body more anyhow.
