                         Reflections by the Chief Tower Guard

     What a great honor and what a big suprise.  I what to thank Dutch Treat for not
fighting so I could take my rightful place as the tower guardian.  Let see if I can
keep it.  I'm not much of talker.  So lets get to fighting.
                                        Mosgiel

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     Debby Tonte did the notes today, and I was going to let her do the actual spy
report, but she got insulting, called this place a dump!  So I asked her to leave.  I
like to see and hear a little respect around here.  Not a lot, mind you, I don't
require that, but at least a little.  Debbie's just jealous because this is a better,
more active arena than Free Blades.
     Biggest point gain:  Torans Ulrik, thirty-three.
     Biggest point loss:  Romor Saith, thirty-one.
     Tongue N Cheek was most avoided, Royal Flush avoided them the most.
     Javelin got the most challenges.
     Forty-six fights, thirteen standbys.  Not good, people!  I know the standbys
whine and say they need to work, but don't listen to them.  I also know that on the
alternate weeks, when not fighting HERE, the standbys go off and hold their own
fights.  So they're getting all the practice they need.
     Seventeen challenges, which is good.

First, a quick run-through of the standby fights, get 'em out of the way:
     ROMOR SAITH (72-6398) (18-16-2,72) of MIDDLE WAY 9 fought RIRORNI SOLDIER (106-
3) (0-0-0,30) of the College of Mimes.  ROMOR SAITH was demolished by RIRORNI SOLDIER
in a 1 minute one-sided conflict.  Hence the big point drop.
     LILAS KEELER (73-5840) (19-19-1,43) of MIDDLE WAY 18 fought RIRORNI SOLDIER
(106-3) (0-0-0,30) of the College of Mimes.  LILAS KEELER was overpowered by RIRORNI
SOLDIER in a 1 minute uneven bout.
     KARIN LO (83-292) (16-24-0,55) of MIDDLE WAY 21 fought CAPTURED PIRATE KING
(106-2) (0-0-0,30) of the College of Mimes.  KARIN LO overpowered CAPTURED PIRATE
KING in a 1 minute one-sided brawl.
     QUITA REMMING (83-294) (17-22-0,58) of MIDDLE WAY 21 fought RIRORNI SOLDIER
(106-3) (0-0-0,30) of the College of Mimes.  QUITA REMMING devastated RIRORNI SOLDIER
in an action packed 1 minute mismatched match.
     JIVE (25-624) (107-68-1,191) of CRYPTICS fought TELGOR (106-27) (0-0-0,200) of
the College of Mimes.  JIVE was viciously subdued by TELGOR in a crowd pleasing 2
minute gruesome match.
     GENERAL PUBLIC (31-3112) (28-23-1,210) of MILITARY MAYHEM fought VILLAINOUS
INFORMER (106-23) (0-0-0,181) of the College of Mimes.  GENERAL PUBLIC subdued
VILLAINOUS INFORMER in a popular 1 minute fight.
     ADAM'S APPLE (52-3203) (31-15-0,181) of OTTO'S PARTS fought THE BLACKSMITH (106-
22) (0-0-0,181) of the College of Mimes.  ADAM'S APPLE overpowered THE BLACKSMITH in
a popular 2 minute brutal uneven duel.
     ACE METRIC (47-3554) (28-22-0,191) of ROYAL FLUSH fought VILLAINOUS INFORMER
(106-23) (0-0-0,181) of the College of Mimes.  ACE METRIC vanquished VILLAINOUS
INFORMER in a 1 minute one-sided bout.
     BURGER KING (47-4152) (41-36-3,186) of ROYAL FLUSH fought VILLAINOUS INFORMER
(106-23) (0-0-0,181) of the College of Mimes.  BURGER KING overcame VILLAINOUS
INFORMER in a crowd pleasing 1 minute bout.
     HARI-KARI (73-3049) (50-9-0,220) of WAY TO GO! II fought CRYSALIS GUARD (106-29)
(0-0-0,200) of the College of Mimes.  HARI-KARI savagely defeated CRYSALIS GUARD in
an exciting 5 minute gruesome bout.
     BODDINGTON'S (21-5035) (29-15-0,233) of REAL BEER fought CRYSALIS GUARD (106-29)
(0-0-0,200) of the College of Mimes.  BODDINGTON'S was devastated by CRYSALIS GUARD
in a popular 2 minute one-sided bout.
     MONKEY BUSINESS (25-4040) (38-18-1,220) of PRIMATES-R-US fought VERMICIOUS KNID
(106-30) (0-0-0,240) of the College of Mimes.  MONKEY BUSINESS savagely defeated
VERMICIOUS KNID in an action packed 3 minute fray.
     VIKING RAIDER (54-2885) (26-8-1,245) of SPARF! fought RIRORNI COOK (106-24) (0-
0-0,181) of the College of Mimes.  VIKING RAIDER savagely defeated RIRORNI COOK in an
action packed 2 minute brutal fight.
     That's 4-9 for the standbys, and those who lost to them had better hit the
practice floor.  Ah, let me rephrase that:  had better get in more practice.

The other random matches, and some of them are VERY random:
     UNCLE FESTER (59-2768) (15-8-0,53) of TALL TALES fought BLACK (1-8252) (18-6-
0,69) of FULL SPECTRUM.  UNCLE FESTER demolished BLACK in a 1 minute one-sided
battle.  And at the end of the fight, Black yelled out, "Uncle!"  Sorry, couldn't
resist that one.
     TORANS ULRIK (72-6399) (14-20-0,48) of MIDDLE WAY 9 fought WITCH (71-1841) (24-
16-1,83) of DOGS OF WAR.  TORANS ULRIK overpowered WITCH in an exciting 1 minute
uneven competition.  Hence the big point gain.
     QUEEN (75-3316) (18-8-1,84) of KIWI CONNECTIONS fought SKI MASK (58-5869) (51-
93-1,66) of CIRQUE DU MASQUES.  QUEEN overpowered SKI MASK in an action packed 1
minute one-sided battle.  Roast duck, anyone?
     WASNIS (83-224) (23-15-0,86) of OLLIS HEROES fought GLACIER (58-5887) (28-36-
0,67) of CIRQUE DU MASQUES.  WASNIS was handily defeated by GLACIER in a 1 minute
one-sided match.  Yes, well, this is a "glacier-friendly" season.  Darned cold, in
fact.
     ORRIE POLLAS (83-295) (20-20-2,62) of MIDDLE WAY 21 fought MESSY MONGREL (71-
1896) (17-17-0,71) of DOGS OF WAR.  ORRIE POLLAS demolished MESSY MONGREL in a 1
minute uneven duel.  A dog who makes messes isn't a Good Dog, so this was, um, a
learning experience for the Mongrel?
     WATERLOO (75-3317) (25-4-1,102) of KIWI CONNECTIONS fought SRAN3E (28-4382) (20-
16-0,115) of PHANTACITY.  WATERLOO was unbelievably bested by SRAN3E in an exciting 5
minute gory duel.  I think this must be the unorthography, it gives Sran3e an edge.
Nothing wrong with an edge, even if--maybe especially if!--it makes the clerks
unhappy.  Those clerks want things too easy.

     HUNZICKER BOWL (23-4182) (44-26-2,175) of SKI TAOS fought CLEVER (50-2192) (53-
35-2,144) of RANDOM BLADES.  HUNZICKER BOWL won victory over CLEVER in a crowd
pleasing 1 minute brutal bout.  Easy to guess who's going places this winter and
who's staying home practicing.
     UZI (44-1701) (33-34-1,175) of BLOWN AWAY fought AMELIA (28-3417) (44-33-1,142)
of DODGE BULLETS.  UZI beat AMELIA in a 2 minute bout.  No surprise here.  Well,
maybe a surprise.  I thought an uzi did bullets, yes?  And Amelia is supposed to
dodge them?
     BLACK JACK SHELACK (47-4850) (37-25-2,172) of ROYAL FLUSH fought CRIMSON MIST
(8-5047) (37-29-1,157) of BLOOD RITES.  BLACK JACK SHELACK demolished CRIMSON MIST in
a 1 minute one-sided conflict.  Black trumps most colors.
     F.O.A.D. (73-442) (34-17-2,178) of ALPHABET SOUP fought KENYA (4-6484) (30-3-
1,110) of KIWI CONNECTION.  F.O.A.D. overcame KENYA in an exciting 1 minute fight.
Seems like a sneaky trick to get your opponent standing there trying to figure out
what the initials stand for, and then whomp him when he's distracted.  But if that's
what wins the fights....
     BULL FROG (73-4547) (32-17-0,177) of THE BULLS fought SAMURAI STRIKER (71-62)
(22-26-1,132) of DOGS OF WAR.  BULL FROG subdued SAMURAI STRIKER in an exciting 1
minute struggle.  Are we a zoo here?  Bulls, dogs, ducks, monkeys, even frogs.  A
strange development.

     MISS ZING (8-824) (71-52-3,190) of LADIES IN WAITING fought GHOST DANCER (28-
3365) (50-44-0,173) of DODGE BULLETS.  MISS ZING overpowered GHOST DANCER in a 1
minute one-sided struggle.  Okay, so he can't fight, can he dance, Miss?
     WHIRLWIND (30-3437) (31-23-0,190) of STEEL BLADES fought MONKEY DO (25-4152)
(29-18-2,198) of PRIMATES-R-US.  WHIRLWIND was overpowered by MONKEY DO in a 1 minute
one-sided bout.  Strange fight.  There really isn't anything else I can say about it.
     BULL DURHAM (5-4324) (39-20-1,232) of PARTY ANIMALS fought TUNDRA (45-4280) (37-
28-1,188) of ARCTIC WASTES.  BULL DURHAM beat TUNDRA in an action packed 1 minute
gory duel.  Another bull!
     SITS ON HIS DUFF (73-1810) (46-26-4,218) of THINGS GEORGE DOES fought YOUNG JOAN
(28-3534) (43-59-1,201) of DODGE BULLETS.  SITS ON HIS DUFF overpowered YOUNG JOAN in
a popular 2 minute gruesome one-sided duel.  Natural enough, when you think about it.
Sits gets plenty of rest and is full of energy for the fight; Joan rushes around, all
the time DOING things, and so she shows up tired.
     SLIPPERY NIPPLE (59-2323) (37-24-1,219) of HANGOVERS fought LOOGIE CLAP (82-
46049) (39-34-2,198) of TONGUE N CHEEK.  SLIPPERY NIPPLE was narrowly defeated by
LOOGIE CLAP in a 3 minute conflict.  I think I'll pass on this one.

The challenges:
     ACE FREHLEY (47-3669) (15-10-0,91) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged ROCK GLAS HUT FUN
(8-4851) (21-14-3,98) of ORCISH IDIOMS.  Up 7.  ACE FREHLEY savagely defeated ROCK
GLAS HUT FUN in an exciting 2 minute Challenge bout.  No throwing rocks through the
windows HERE.
     SUPER GROVER (50-3413) (15-4-0,95) of OPEN SESAME challenged TEALIN SALI (52-
3496) (26-17-0,97) of MIDDLE WAY 8.  Up 2.  SUPER GROVER devastated TEALIN SALI in a
1 minute one-sided Challenge fight.  Of course, because he's Super.
     THE LION KING (47-6360) (23-8-0,123) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged GODSMACK (82-
48417) (27-23-0,172) of TONGUE N CHEEK.  Up 49.  THE LION KING beat GODSMACK in a
crowd pleasing 3 minute Challenge brawl.  Which is how the Lion got to be King, no
doubt.
     LONDON QUIREBOY (59-2513) (36-16-1,192) of CHAPEL ROCK challenged WYNETT (30-
2340) (49-46-2,199) of STEEL BLADES.  Up 7.  LONDON QUIREBOY was vanquished by WYNETT
in a 2 minute mismatched Challenge bout.  I'm not thinking of anything to say about
this one.
     WHACKING WILLOW (52-3167) (56-21-1,210) of FLOWER GIRLS challenged TAOS (26-
4042) (30-17-1,229) of HERE TO PHOENIX.  Up 19.  WHACKING WILLOW narrowly defeated
TAOS in a 7 minute Challenge conflict.  And she enjoyed every minute of it, I'm sure.
She always does.
     QUEEN (82-33307) (19-7-0,183) of DARK TOADS 05Q challenged A GROUNDSKEEPER (45-
1613) (35-29-1,198) of AVID FANS.  Up 15.  QUEEN devastated A GROUNDSKEEPER in a 1
minute one-sided Challenge battle.  As well she should have done, the grounds were a
mess!

     NUMBSKULL (52-2948) (16-7-2,184) of OTTO'S PARTS challenged MOSQUITO (5-5011)
(24-16-1,185) of BLOOD SUCKERS.  Up 1.  NUMBSKULL was demolished by MOSQUITO in a 1
minute mismatched Challenge match.  Insidious critters, mosquitoes.
     BEERVAHNA (60-4292) (39-35-3,194) of INGRATE WHITE NORTH challenged VIOLATOR
(44-2122) (57-46-1,197) of DEMONIC FURY.  Up 3.  BEERVAHNA beat VIOLATOR in a popular
2 minute gory Challenge melee.  Nothing like beer to soothe the demon's fury, they
say.  I've never tried it myself, I prefer to avoid the need.
     RUBBER KNIFE (54-2038) (64-45-1,204) of USELESS TOOLS challenged GABBER KNIGHT
(77-2243) (17-3-0,208) of 500 BPM.  Up 4.  RUBBER KNIFE won victory over GABBER
KNIGHT in a popular 2 minute gory Challenge duel.  And people call this Knife
useless?
     LAND OF FLUSH (11-4373) (31-21-0,185) of CONSORTIUM CRAP challenged TAMMY FAYE
(39-3520) (29-31-0,186) of WITLESS WONDERS.  Up 1.  LAND OF FLUSH vanquished TAMMY
FAYE in a popular 1 minute uneven Challenge duel.  I'm not sure Tammy even noticed.
She's good at not paying attention.
     TRASH CAN (50-3403) (21-5-4,194) of OPEN SESAME challenged HAZE (82-49272) (33-
21-0,201) of NORTHERN LIGHTS.  Up 7.  TRASH CAN was viciously subdued by HAZE in an
action packed 2 minute Challenge fight.  No, no, you can't DO that to the trash cans,
Haze.  We NEED them.

     STEVE MCQUEEN (47-3908) (58-47-1,186) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged BLACK FLAG (82-
46046) (51-40-4,193) of TONGUE N CHEEK.  Up 7.  STEVE MCQUEEN was vanquished by BLACK
FLAG in a 6 minute mismatched Challenge fight.  When it takes six minutes, *I* don't
think it should be called a "mismatch."
     AFRICAN QUEEN (47-6424) (25-15-0,204) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged KARATIA (73-
3624) (40-20-1,216) of KIWI CONNECTION.  Up 12.  AFRICAN QUEEN was demolished by
KARATIA in a 1 minute Challenge competition.  Is this lese majeste?  Or however it's
spelled.
     BASE ON BULLS (73-3101) (34-11-4,209) of THE BULLS challenged AVONSIDE (13-3927)
(54-62-1,222) of KIWI CONNECTION.  Up 13.  BASE ON BULLS was devastated by AVONSIDE
in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge fight.  Bulls again.  I don't really like bulls,
you know.  They tend to be pushy, and often rude, as well.
     RUBBER KNIFE (57-2546) (37-9-2,195) of USELESS TOOLS challenged ASHAR (30-1777)
(58-49-3,195) of STEEL BLADES.  Straight across.  RUBBER KNIFE defeated ASHAR in a
crowd pleasing 4 minute Challenge duel.  That's both of the Rubber Knives winning.
How about if we rethink the "useless" designation?
     FIGHTER ACE (47-1189) (78-52-6,217) of ROYAL FLUSH challenged JAVELIN (82-33234)
(24-9-0,223) of THE WEAPONS.  Up 6.  FIGHTER ACE was vanquished by JAVELIN in an
exciting 1 minute uneven Challenge battle.  More of a short spear, I think?

For the title:
     DUTCH TREAT (26-1841) (135-38-2,445) of WORLDWIDE GORE challenged MOSGIEL (14-
3836) (50-31-2,293) of OTAGO HIGHLANDERS.  Down a bunch, TO the throne.  Odd, that.
DUTCH TREAT bested MOSGIEL in a crowd pleasing 3 minute Challenge Title fight.
Considering the respective rankings and experience, Mosgiel showed well.  So I
congratulate both of you.

                               PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE

Rotten Liver -- I never liked Liver and I mean the stuff that isn't rotten. --
Mosgiel

the Referee -- I think that the black and white outfit made it easy to hit you. --
Avonside

Dark Tower -- I was always scared of the dark but now I don't think that I am any
more. -- Karatia

Groundskeeper -- You use way too much bug spray. -- Mosquito

Mosgiel -- I don't know who you bribed to make me miss a turn, but I'm trying to come
back after you -- Dutch Treat

Crysalis -- Man, the NPC characters in this arena are tough.  Had 3 eligible tourney
warriors match up with them last turn, and went 0-3.  The way things are going of
late, it makes me wonder if they are tougher than in ADM 100 or something. -- Crip

Loogie Clap -- Hmm, I noticed something in that fight that I think narrows down my
favourite numbers.  Thanks. -- General Public

Hagar Bluetooth -- I can see you are going to be a top notch talent around this place
in a little while. -- Slippery Nipple

Mosquito -- How dare you infect my sands like that.   I was expecting to win another
way. -- A Groundskeeper

Ski Mask -- Are you planning on being here for a while?  While Hockey Duck is still
over in Home Guard, we might be able to find some other Ducks here for you to tango
with. -- Crip, mgr of Ducks Unlimited, DM39

Y'all Consortium Folks -- The Commission would have a FIT if I "brought 'em all."
For now, I'm going to leave active everyone currently running, but only Cirque du
Masques is going to write personals.  I will probable retire some of them in times
soon to come, but not right now.  Too busy to decide, for one thing. -- Jorja

Crip -- If "better for my warriors" was an issue with me, I would possibly do that.
As it is, the ones currently active here will remain so while I brood over the
roster.  Eleven active in one arena is too many for me.  What *I* look for is someone
good in the personals.  Maybe I can find some more Ducks. -- Jorja

Guru Gnu -- I wasn't "newly awakened" from retirement.  I wasn't SLEEPING, you know.
I was, um, meditating.  Back home in Delarq Tor.  On the whole, this is a good move
for me.  You'd think it would be quiet back there, what with the arena closed and
all, but little though many gladiators like to admit it, all the arena towns have
other stuff going on, too.  Delarq Tor is a bad one that way, full of politicians.
Gods, I'm lucky to have gotten out with shreds of my sanity left! -- Glacier
P.S.  My teammate, Ski Mask, didn't help, either.

Queen -- Ignore that stupid spy reporter.  I am NOT a "rotten fighter."  I am SUPERB.
There are few Ducks who can come NEAR me, and none who surpass me in an even match.
Which my match with YOU was not.  Of course, you aren't a Duck, which explains a lot.
But it was all I could do to hold myself back to your level, and sometimes that is
difficult to guage, especially after a long retirement.  Next time, things will be
different. -- Ski Mask, Founder and President of Ducks With Swords

Congrats to the grads. -- Green Eyes

                                NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA

     The crowd was surprisingly orderly, but it was still a crowd, and the Commission 
clerk, Algernon, looked at it uneasily.  Whenever this many people came together to 
petition for something, it meant trouble.  For him, anyway.  Records to be altered.  
Altering records was Bad.  It made Extra Work.
     His assistant clerk leaned close and whispered, "If it weren't for gladiators, we 
wouldn't have jobs.  Smile at them and ask what they want."
     Algernon closed his eyes briefly.  Looking at this crowd made him dizzy.  They 
were all wearing black and white stripes.  Like a herd of zebras, except that zebras 
didn't carry swords.  Then he took a deep breath and managed a smile.  "What... ah, 
what can I do for you?"
     "We want new names," the first gladiator said.  There was a number on the front 
of his shirt:  0381.  He thumped the number with his thumb.  "This here isn't a 
name--"
     "We want REAL names!"  That voice came from farther back in the crowd.
     "Yeah!  We've paid our dues," another shouted, "and we've EARNED real names!"
     One from the very back yelled, "I want to be called Tom."
     All the others turned to look at him.
     Algernon couldn't see him, but apparently those looks were accusing.  Well, he 
could understand that, "Tom" was such a... common name.
     "My mom called me Tom," the voice in the back protested.  "It's a good name."
     "It isn't the name you put on the petition," 0381 said.  "We talked about this.  
We got our manager's agreement.  You get the name on the petition."
     "But--!"
     Algernon didn't really want to keep staring at all these stripes while they 
argued.  He picked up the petition.  "These names are the ones you want?"
     0381 turned back.  "Yes."
     "It's a lot of trouble, and when other people see that YOU are getting name 
changes, THEY are going to want them--"  Seeing the gladiators beginning to frown... 
and finger their weapons, he went on quickly, "So I figure we might as well make it a 
complete deal.  A Name-Change-O-Rama.  Everyone who wants a name change can petition 
for it.  Get it all over with at once."  He glanced at the petition, shuddered 
slightly, and passed it to his clerk.  "We'll announce it, proclaim it, even, and you 
will get the names on this petition.  And others will get the names THEY think they 
should have had, too."  He paused.  "And I think I'll get a new name, I'm tired of 
being an Algernon...."
