THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
Reflections by the Chief Tower Guard
I missed the column last turn, but you have to realize that a Tower Guardian is a
busy guy. I have teammates to train, awards to receive, tavern wenches to visit and
autographs to sign. It keeps a guy busy. Ok, so most of it was taverns and training,
but it still keeps a Guardian busy. Still, I will try to do my best on this.
For this turn I'd like to take the time to welcome my teammate, Kilimanjaro. It
is an odd name for a Viking. Not really very thematic, you know? Hreidmar, Hagar and
Sigmudr - those are Viking sounding names. But check out that id #. 10-366. That
dude is old. The boss says the name came about when he was a kid and thought
Mountains made for good names. I'd have thought that a northern one would have made
more sense, but whose going to argue with a 13-year old managing a bunch of
gladiators? Kilimanjaro was the first ever replacement warrior that Nomad ever got.
One his second ever turn in the game two of his original 5 died. Kili was his first
replacement - and remains the only size 3 warrior that Nomad has ever had. Yah gotta
wonder what a more advanced manager could do with a RU like that today. (No, Kili,
that isn't an insult!) Kilimanjaro went out and promptly got himself killed. But 30
years ago he came back from the dead, managing to pull an 8-2 in a dead tourney. Then
when Nomad came back to the game after a 15-year layoff Kilimanjaro finally had a
chance to return to the sands. And, it turns out, to the grave. Yep, he died again.
This time it was a fairly long slog through dead tournies. A year ago he finally
pulled out a dead TV for the second time, this one in challengers. Nomad took no
chances and quickly got him graduated. So here he is - joining the rest of us in
Crysalis. It has been a long road to immortality for the little guy, but it seems he
intends to make the most of it. Show them what a little mountain can do, Kili!
-- Baldassare,
Tower Guardian of Crysalis
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Hey!
First, I'd like to thank Baldassare (and Nomad) for the column. Good job. We saw
thirteen fights today, no one avoided, no one challenged, no one died. Good that
nobody died. The rest of it... *yawn*
So, looks like Baldy is still the Champion of the Horn. BALDASSARE (7-6003) (70-54-
0,260) of SENTINELS fought KING MIDAS (59-2770) (53-67-1,215) of TALL TALES.
BALDASSARE devastated KING MIDAS in a 1 minute mismatched Title fight. Of course,
Baldy is our top Parry-Strike. King Midas is no longer top Aimed Blow, and he was
voted the least popular fighter this turn. Bad day for him.
HAGAR BLUETOOTH (10-5850) (65-46-1,247) of VIKINGS fought SUPERSIZE ME (47-8110) (31-
20-2,194) of FAST FOOD. HAGAR BLUETOOTH won victory over SUPERSIZE ME in a 3 minute
battle. Hagar is the top ranked Wall of Steel. The only one, I think.
SWEET REVENGE (8-5378) (39-14-0,194) of PEASANT REBELLION fought G W BUSH (59-2764)
(51-75-2,172) of TALL TALES. SWEET REVENGE handily defeated G W BUSH in an action
packed 1 minute one-sided match.
GRIZZ GRIMHULT (19-5083) (28-20-1,195) of BATTLEAXE STAMPEDE fought JOHNNY APPLESEED
(59-2767) (42-84-1,152) of TALL TALES. GRIZZ GRIMHULT devastated JOHNNY APPLESEED in
a popular 2 minute one-sided contest. Mr. Grimhult is the top Striker; Mr. Appleseed
is the highest ranked Total Parry.
SOUTHPOINT (52-3492) (29-11-0,206) of OHIO fought THE BLACKSMITH (106-22) (0-0-0,181).
SOUTHPOINT viciously subdued THE BLACKSMITH in an action packed 3 minute gory brawl.
UNCLE FESTER (59-2768) (54-72-1,188) of TALL TALES fought JINX (47-7951) (44-36-1,163)
of TEAM TOONS. UNCLE FESTER devastated JINX in a crowd pleasing 1 minute mismatched
match. Uncle Fester is our leading Slasher, Jinx is top Lunger.
HREIDMAR THE RED (10-6148) (53-25-0,210) of VIKINGS fought TAMMY FAYE (39-3520) (48-
115-0,177) of WITLESS WONDERS. HREIDMAR THE RED overpowered TAMMY FAYE in a 1 minute
uneven melee. Hreidmar is our leading Aimed Blow. Witless? Who knows, but Ms Faye
is our overall popularity leader.
HOPALONG CASSIDY (72-7839) (41-45-0,192) of COWBOY CROONERS fought ETERNAL REST (72-
8626) (24-14-0,182) of FEAR FACTORY 2. HOPALONG CASSIDY won victory over ETERNAL REST
in an action packed 1 minute duel. Hoppy is the highest ranked Parry-Lunge.
GARGLE SPEW (45-3902) (23-24-1,134) of EMETICS fought KNOS THE AXE (74-4394) (32-12-
1,144) of BATTLEAXE STAMPEDE. GARGLE SPEW was defeated by KNOS THE AXE in an action
packed 3 minute duel. And Knos the Axe is this turn's most popular fighter.
STAY PUFT (20-144) (25-15-1,150) of PHANTOM REGIMENT fought PERISTYLIUM (71-7014) (25-
27-0,127) of FEAR FACTORY 5. STAY PUFT defeated PERISTYLIUM in an exciting 1 minute
fight.
SIGMUNDR (10-6525) (29-19-1,69) of VIKINGS fought HAPPY (50-3399) (22-27-1,61) of
STRANGE TUNES. SIGMUNDR handily defeated HAPPY in a 1 minute one-sided bout.
SUFFOCATING SIGHT (71-6978) (23-29-0,37) of FEAR FACTORY 12 fought KILIMANJARO (10-
366) (11-1-0,81) of VIKINGS. SUFFOCATING SIGHT was subdued by KILIMANJARO in a crowd
pleasing 5 minute match. Welcome to Crysalis, Kilimanjaro. Looks like you're off to
a good start.
CABO WABO (51-5583) (21-15-2,71) of VAN DUEL fought ALASTARIAN DESERTER (106-1) (0-0-
0,30). CABO WABO handily defeated ALASTARIAN DESERTER in a 1 minute one-sided
contest.
Zontani Sharp Eyes warned us that if six people died in duels today, the whole city
would perish. Whew! That was a close one.
So, that's all. See you next year!

HALLOWEEN TOURNAMENT UPDATE
It has come to our attention that a warrior, Voodoo Toad 85-14776, was sent to
the Dark Arena and slain in order to be classed as a Dead Challenger in this past
Halloween Tournament. As this warrior is a Zombie, this was against the rules because
immortal warriors may not challenge the Dark Arena. (An exception is granted so a
warrior may challenge the Dark Arena on his very last turn after receiving an
invitation to Advanced Duelmasters, so he can show his prowess with the Dark Arena
monsters, but this may not be used as a method of classing in the dead tournament if
he happens to die in the night fight.)
To correct this injustice, we changed the fight result for all warriors who
lost to Voodoo Toad to a win for that turn. This gave two warriors, Crazy 54 84-11494
of Crazy 88 15 and Sarokith 84-30929 of Dub O Dubs, an ending record of 8-3, which
grants them Tournament Victor status and resurrection.
We realize this is not a perfect solution but hope it will make some amends
for the warriors who lost to this misclassed warrior.
