                                 THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
                         Reflections by the Chief Tower Guard

     How many times do I have to do this?  That's seven Tower Guardians in a row,
fourteen total, fourteen more Duelmaster Crowns way back in DM2, etc, etc.  I am
thinking almost everyone thinks I'm pretty good by now.
     Okay, perhaps I will mellow for the moment and tell you my boss's favorite story
about ME.  (In essence, my life story.)
     Some many years ago, I was recruited by Mr. T, Manager of The Intimidators, a
Consortium affiliate, in Niania (DM2).  Well, from what I posted above, I was quite
the star.  Then those same bosses decided to run me in ADM (they did little of that
at the time.) and I became their first ADM TVs and then the first Eligible TV.  Then
the bosses retired and gave it all away.  Me, too.  At the giveaway (And THIS is the
favorite story.) Manager aka Dwayne The Dog really, really wanted me.  But that did
not happen.  When the bosses were coerced back, I was high on their resigning list,
and Mr. Soultaker willingly and graciously returned me to the original owners.
Because Mr. Soultaker now owned The Intimidator team and name, I had to have my Team
Name changed to something, and since the bosses has a controlling interest in The
Dark Toads, that was what the mage Sandy selected.  So here I am.  I have been trying
for the last 5 weeks to get my team name changed to Intimidation (or similar), but,
alas, even though I am such a star, it has not happened.
     So there I am.  And here I am.  And the odds are might high you will find me
here again.  So give it a try.  I like the wins.
          Mortician, Tower Guardian

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     Ah, that Zontani Snake-Eyes!  How puffed up he is.  Oh, well, we won't let that
deter us from having our own good time.  The autumn tourney has passed, but the Split
has not, so far as my spies can tell, come upon us quite yet.  Probably waiting for
the moment of maximum inconvenience, isn't that how institutions work?  And the
Gladiatorial Commission, despite some transparent claims to the contrary, is an
institution.  Here on the Isle, anyway.

The raw statistics:
     Twenty-seven fights, seven of them involving standbys.
     Four challenges, none of them tv.  People are probably still sorting that out.
     Party Animals were Most Avoided, by Crazy Creeps.  Good, there's been too much
partying around here lately, and it's making everyone crazy.
     Billy Lilly got the most challenges.

The fights themselves:
     GHOST DANCER (28-3365) (30-23-0,40) of DODGE BULLETS fought R.O.U.S. (106-4) (0-
0-0,50) of the College of Mimes.  GHOST DANCER vanquished R.O.U.S. in a 1 minute one-
sided bout.  When people get really stirred up by huge rats, some run screaming into
the closets and others out steel and whack 'em up.  I favor people who go the second
route, myself.  With managers, gladiators, spy reporters, and bookies hanging around
the arena, we have no need for additional rats.  Regardless of size.
     TUNDRA (45-4280) (16-8-1,57) of ARCTIC WASTES fought DESPERADO (28-1152) (30-33-
1,78) of DODGE BULLETS.  TUNDRA was savagely defeated by DESPERADO in an exciting 3
minute bloody fray.  Experience tells, sometimes when you'd rather it kept its big
mouth shut.
     BENITO CHATTE (71-6184) (19-31-1,55) of THE ZOO fought DON FRANCIS (30-4619)
(17-8-0,88) of LENPROS.  BENITO CHATTE lost to DON FRANCIS in a 2 minute fray.  Why
does this surprise no one?  Perhaps because we can read the clues in a man's record.

     OLIANDER (7-5911) (17-4-2,57) of SENTINELS fought TOTTI (17-5991) (18-10-2,84)
of ITALIAN FOOTBALL.  OLIANDER was demolished by TOTTI in a 1 minute one-sided melee.
Is this a case of not enough smash, or too much?
     UNHOLY TERROR (8-5051) (15-10-3,56) of BLOOD RITES fought ROXANNE DE'MORRE (50-
3449) (34-29-0,81) of DRUID'S GROVE.  UNHOLY TERROR was vanquished by ROXANNE
DE'MORRE in a 1 minute one-sided fight.  It's enough to make me wonder what our
handicapper, the redoubtable Krellipan Strees, is up to with these matches.  A
cursory glance--and there was a lot of cursing as managers and gladiators glanced
through the lists--would tell even the most untutored that closer matches were
available.  This whole "kickbacks and bribes" business may surge to the fore this
winter!
     AMELIA (28-3417) (25-11-1,100) of DODGE BULLETS fought BAERRA (7-1048) (28-9-
0,92) of SENTINELS.  AMELIA was savagely defeated by BAERRA in an exciting 5 minute
gory duel.  And will Baerra be offered punch in the hanger?  Somehow it seems
debatable.  Where did this antique Sentinel come from, anyway?  Why isn't he warming
a bench in an old gladiators' home?
     GERRICK GRIMM (50-3530) (20-25-1,128) of DRUID'S GROVE fought ZORRO, THE GAY
BLADE (106-8) (0-0-0,110) of the College of Mimes.  GERRICK GRIMM was overpowered by
ZORRO, THE GAY BLADE in a 2 minute one-sided match.  The stewards who were close to 
the action say that it was Zorro's threat to kiss Gerrick that turned the tide.
     YOUNG JOAN (28-3534) (30-31-1,121) of DODGE BULLETS fought BLACK FLAG (82-46046)
(32-18-3,145) of TONGUE N CHEEK.  YOUNG JOAN slimly lost to BLACK FLAG in an action
packed 7 minute bloody duel.  Does this Young Joan look like a bug to you?  Seven
minutes must mean she didn't react like a bug, either.  But some gladiators just
won't give up.  This is, in fact, a prized characteristic here on the Isle.

     CAFFREY'S (21-4748) (21-4-3,156) of REAL BEER fought DEVIL'S ADVOCATE (68-4666)
(17-6-0,149) of BLOOD 4 THE MASSES.  CAFFREY'S was vanquished by DEVIL'S ADVOCATE in
a 1 minute one-sided match.  Blood for the masses rather than real beer?  I suspect
the masses would prefer it the other way around.  But then, I'm not a mass, so what
do I know?
     PRIVATE ROOM (31-3620) (26-14-0,178) of MILITARY MAYHEM fought WYVERN (82-29373)
(16-5-0,147) of DARK TOADS 04W.  PRIVATE ROOM was devastated by WYVERN in a popular 1
minute one-sided contest.  There you have it, Private:  Sometimes your better off
hanging out with the General Public.  Things can HAPPEN to you in private rooms.
     RUBBER KNIFE (54-2038) (52-41-1,151) of USELESS TOOLS fought FRED BEAR (47-5348)
(26-18-0,110) of THE BEAR'S PAW.  RUBBER KNIFE was savagely defeated by FRED BEAR in
a popular 3 minute bloody match.  What can you expect, after all?  Losing is probably
the definition of a useless tool.  Though I'm sure it did its best.
     AVONSIDE (13-3927) (38-54-1,198) of KIWI CONNECTION fought LAND OF FLUSH (11-
4373) (19-13-0,166) of CONSORTIUM CRAP.  AVONSIDE was beaten by LAND OF FLUSH in an
exciting 4 minute match.  Ah, I believe I will avoid the obvious play on words there.  
I'm sure you can all imagine it without my help.
     HARI-KARI (73-3049) (28-5-0,201) of WAY TO GO! II fought CLOTTO (106-25) (0-0-
0,181) of the College of Mimes.  HARI-KARI overpowered CLOTTO in a crowd pleasing 2
minute gory mismatched brawl.  I would certainly hope so!

     KING UVDAHELL (47-1643) (57-31-1,204) of ROYAL FLUSH fought AMBER WOLFWALKER
(106-11) (0-0-0,220) of the College of Mimes.  KING UVDAHELL overpowered AMBER
WOLFWALKER in a 1 minute uneven struggle.  A challenging fight, perhaps, and a
pleasing victory.  Why is there a Japanese beetle flying around my desk?  Better it
should land so I can squish it.  Not that they're squishy, more like crunchy, but the
basic intention remains the same.  Land, land, make yourself a target, curse you!
     WHEEL OF FORTUNE (25-2529) (54-57-2,210) of DUELING FOR DOLLARS fought NEWT
GINGRICH (5-3399) (92-33-0,201) of PARTY ANIMALS.  WHEEL OF FORTUNE was handily
defeated by NEWT GINGRICH in a 1 minute conflict.  A party in a casion?  Why not,
after all.  Eat, drink, and spend money, for tomorrow you fight.  Something like
that.
     SODIAC (7-1049) (28-18-2,182) of SENTINELS fought RUBBER KNIFE (57-2546) (25-7-
2,189) of USELESS TOOLS.  SODIAC was savagely defeated by RUBBER KNIFE in a crowd
pleasing 6 minute gory match.  Another rubber knife, but this one is obviously a
tougher proposition.  Or Zodiac a less prepared one.
     DUTCH TREAT (26-1841) (113-37-2,224) of WORLDWIDE GORE fought VILLAINOUS
INFORMER (106-23) (0-0-0,181) of the College of Mimes.  DUTCH TREAT subdued
VILLAINOUS INFORMER in a crowd pleasing 4 minute competition.  Excellent.  That
vicious and foolish Informer has annoyed us all here, time out of mind.  Beat him up
good.
     GROLSCH (21-5029) (56-10-4,277) of REAL BEER fought MAD CAT (7-2965) (59-43-
6,202) of INSP GADGETS MINIONS.  GROLSCH viciously subdued MAD CAT in a popular 4
minute brutal bout.  It seems odd that a Mad Cat should be a minion.  So un-cat-like,
minionhood.  Still, it is the nature of cats to disconcert humans, so I suppose
there's nothing to be done about it.

     PRIMUS (21-4975) (61-16-0,284) of REAL BEER fought WEINERMUN (37-2635) (62-63-
3,209) of ALL THE MUN'S MEN.  PRIMUS was viciously subdued by WEINERMUN in a popular
3 minute brutal fight.  Hmm, a weiner, now that the idea is brought to my mind, does
rather appeal.  Perhaps when I finish the spy report, I will have a weiner or other
sausage on, as the say, a bun.
     VENEMOUS PORCUPINE (44-288) (90-63-1,227) of D.A. REJECTS fought CLOTTO (106-25)
(0-0-0,181) of the College of Mimes.  VENEMOUS PORCUPINE viciously subdued CLOTTO in
a popular 2 minute gruesome duel.  Excellent.  I can tell that Clotto thought to be
putting someting over on us.  Never let the standbys get the upper hand!
     JACK VALTRAEDS (47-407) (118-71-2,261) of ROYAL FLUSH fought THE BLACKSMITH
(106-22) (0-0-0,181) of the College of Mimes.  JACK VALTRAEDS handily defeated THE
BLACKSMITH in a 2 minute uneven fight.  Well done, but don't take your horse there to
be shod for the next week or two, Jack.
     DAIRY QUEEN (47-2685) (84-47-3,231) of ROYAL FLUSH fought DUNEDIN (14-3703) (34-
55-0,204) of OTAGO HIGHLANDERS.  DAIRY QUEEN slimly won victory over DUNEDIN in a
crowd pleasing 4 minute match.  And what other kind of a victory could it be, with
the Queen so slim and creamy?
     BOARISH YELTSIN (5-3109) (76-47-2,239) of PARTY ANIMALS fought BEAR ACUDA (47-
4995) (34-34-1,210) of THE BEAR'S PAW.  BOARISH YELTSIN devastated BEAR ACUDA in a 2
minute one-sided duel.  Must've been some party!  If you won't land on the desk, you
darned bug, then land on the flystrip!

The challenge matches:
     HUNTSMAN (7-5837) (19-4-0,98) of SENTINELS challenged BILLY LILLY (28-3416) (27-
25-1,112) of DODGE BULLETS.  Up 14.  HUNTSMAN overpowered BILLY LILLY in a 1 minute
one-sided Challenge fight.  This is the life of the Most Challenged.  Young hotshots
come along and take hot shots at you.  Tell him about the bear in the garden, Billy.
     VIOLET VULTURE (11-6612) (26-5-0,183) of ANIMAL FARM challenged BLUE BLOOD (73-
3657) (25-14-1,198) of BLACK & BLUE.  Up 15.  VIOLET VULTURE savagely defeated BLUE
BLOOD in a 12 minute Challenge duel.  Ah, a color clash.  Tricky.
     TINY TIM (60-6042) (30-8-1,226) of CRAZY CREEPS challenged BLOODBATH (60-704)
(71-60-2,241) of BASKET WEAVING 101.  Up 15.  TINY TIM was viciously subdued by
BLOODBATH in a 4 minute Challenge battle.  The offhand ukelele was a mistake, Tim.

For the title, refusing to await the handicapper's non-existent mercies:
     MORTICIAN (2-3890) (88-20-1,382) of DARK TOADS challenged PAT (35-2292) (48-50-
2,219) of COMMON JOE'S.  Down 163, or some similar number.  MORTICIAN outwaited PAT
in a crowd pleasing 7 minute Challenge Title fight.  Seven minutes?  That's nothing.
Most gladiators will wait that long just to get a fresh beer.  Still, a good try,
Pat, and an excellent victory, Mortician.

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Gee! I wish I hadn't fought last turn.  I was the only loser in The Consortium 5-1-0.
For my penance, I am restricted from taking Becky into the cave for 6 months.  It's
over!  I guess you are not interested in me any more, either, Young Joan.  I'm a
loser. -- Tom Sawyer (painting his own fence)

     Some respect for a man who can see his own failings.

Totti -- I guess that speaks for Itallian Football, eh?  No pigskin, pal.  No
pigskin. -- Necroma the Necromancer

Puppy On Patrol -- I'm sure this minor interruption to your patrol was nothing but a
nuisance.  Bwahahaha. -- Abhorrence

     An abhorent one, no doubt.

King Uvdahell -- I've never had a King before.  It was fun.  Thanks for tip-toeing
through the tulips with me. -- Tiny Tim

Dunedin -- Well, that was a foregone conclusion once I got the challenge through,
wasn't it?  I just HAD to HAVE you.  You are such a stud.  (giggle) -- Whacking
Willow

Wheel, Wheel, Wheel.  I thought your manager had more appreciation for losing than
that.  Why such a wasteful challenge and loss.  He's sliiiipppppppiiiinnnngggg!  Next
time I get out one of the cheap boxes in back. -- Mortician

We hope all did well in The Mailer.  Perhaps the new Commission criteria opened up
some doors.  Good luck. -- The Consortium Elders

Amelia -- Now that is quite the offer.  Yes, I do have fond, if somewhat blurry,
memories of smash behind the cabana!  A hanger might be a bit different, but I
suspect it might prove a fruitful hunt.  Lead on, fair maid! -- Huntsman

Devil's Advocate -- You're keeping bad company. -- Billy Lilly

Tom Sawyer -- Take that, kid. -- Young Joan
P.S.  And if you keep bugging me about that fence, I'll tell Becky you're being a
manipulative freeloader.

Mike Tyson -- Actually, some chicken sounds good.  You cooking, or will it be raw? --
Amelia

Sran3e -- Take that!  Take it lots!  Take it twice! -- Desperado

Roxanne de'Morre -- You're too sneaky for me. -- Ghost Dancer
P.S.  And you look strange in blue paint and nothing else.

I never expected to FIGHT here.  What's the deal with this Captured Pirate King?  He
offered me "shares in a treasure" if he could win. -- Benito Chatte
