REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Hey!
There were 24 fights today, just one challenge, no one died, and White Maimers avoided
House of Fur. The two longest fights were six minutes each.
Hmm. Let's look at popularity first.
Disco Queen is the overall pop leader. CUTTER JOHN (85-4984) (45-37-0,228) of IN
BLOOM fought DISCO QUEEN (47-1992) (127-38-3,234) of ROYAL FLUSH. CUTTER JOHN lost to
DISCO QUEEN in a crowd pleasing 3 minute fight. Her Highness is also our leading
Parry-Strike.
This turn's favorite fighter is Heraja. HERAJA (29-1339) (40-35-0,200) of BLACK
SAMURAI fought TRIUMPH (97-7395) (35-34-5,210) of CANADIAN CLASSICS. HERAJA viciously
subdued TRIUMPH in a crowd pleasing 6 minute brutal conflict. And Heraja is our top
Parry-Riposte.
And to balance out the Black Samurai team's popularity, the least popular is
Matsuri. MATSURI (29-4256) (22-15-0,79) of BLACK SAMURAI fought SKY (83-544) (21-23-
0,86) of THE DRAGONS. MATSURI was handily defeated by SKY in a 1 minute one-sided
contest.
Recognition points lost and gained:
SOUTHPOINT (52-3492) (37-30-0,187) of OHIO fought KARATIA (73-3624) (46-26-1,204)
of KIWI CONNECTION. SOUTHPOINT overpowered KARATIA in an action packed 1 minute one-
sided fight. Southpoint gained 28 points here.
Since there was only one challenge, Plainsman was most challenged. VALERIUS (44-
1035) (21-13-2,95) of WHITE MAIMERS challenged PLAINSMAN (6-3915) (27-26-0,137) of
SOUL STRIPPERS II. VALERIUS was bested by PLAINSMAN in a crowd pleasing 3 minute
Challenge fight. Points gained? Valerius gained 5, even though he lost.
Why are recognition points such a big deal? Do they take a poll of the
spectators? "Do you recognize Southpoint? Could you pick him out in a crowd?"
Shouldn't the rankings in the arena be based on fighting ability, not social
prominence? I think so.
Okay, we're moving on now to the other eight stylemasters.
HARI-KARI (73-3049) (118-16-0,652) of WAY TO GO! II fought SUPERSIZE ME (47-8110)
(45-33-2,316) of FAST FOOD. HARI-KARI viciously subdued SUPERSIZE ME in an action
packed 3 minute Title battle. So, Hari-Kari is still Crysalis' Tower Guardian and
most highly ranked Aimed Blow.
AVONSIDE (13-3927) (63-68-1,285) of KIWI CONNECTION fought DREAM (60-9010) (44-
41-0,233) of FAVORITE SAYINGS. AVONSIDE overpowered DREAM in a crowd pleasing 1
minute bloody one-sided fight.
UNCLE FESTER (59-2768) (64-89-1,214) of TALL TALES fought LEO (52-3869) (39-26-
0,206) of DARQUE AGES. UNCLE FESTER beat LEO in a 2 minute brawl. Uncle Fester is
our top Slasher.
MOSQUITO (5-5011) (28-24-1,211) of BLOOD SUCKERS fought KING MIDAS (59-2770) (62-
85-1,213) of TALL TALES. MOSQUITO overpowered KING MIDAS in a crowd pleasing 1 minute
mismatched duel. Mosquito is our highest ranked Lunger.
HOPALONG CASSIDY (72-7839) (50-63-1,205) of COWBOY CROONERS fought MAD CAT (7-
2965) (86-56-7,203) of INSP GADGETS MINIONS. HOPALONG CASSIDY was subdued by MAD CAT
in a 2 minute brawl. Mad Cat is top Basher. Go figure.
KENYA (4-6484) (34-10-2,188) of KIWI CONNECTION fought G W BUSH (59-2764) (57-96-
2,190) of TALL TALES. KENYA handily defeated G W BUSH in an action packed 1 minute
gruesome uneven fight. Mr. Bush is our leading Striker.
GARGLE SPEW (45-3902) (29-45-1,151) of EMETICS fought JOHNNY APPLESEED (59-2767)
(47-106-1,180) of TALL TALES. GARGLE SPEW was viciously subdued by JOHNNY APPLESEED
in a 6 minute fight. Appleseed is our best Total Parry.
ARMENIUS (47-9159) (27-37-0,91) of WHITE WOLVES fought CAPE TOWN (41-5118) (22-
14-1,88) of WORLD BLADES 9. ARMENIUS beat CAPE TOWN in a 2 minute bout. Armenius is
Crysalis' best Wall of Steel.
Well, that's all I've got. Stay warm in this icy weather.

MY TAKE ON THE PARRY SLASH
I'm sure I'm not covering any new ground with my insights on the Wall of Steel. It is
my best fighting style and a favorite. I have currently 3 in ADM, and about a half
dozen active in the arenas with one currently undefeated and Duelmaster in DM 41.
So a bit about my observations. Like most defensive styles it seems to work best to
run these guys offensively while they are young so I outfit them and run them like a
slasher. They favor the initiative, parry and attack skills which sucks a bit in ADM
because they lack in defense skill and since defense is king in the late game, Walls
of Steel fall back into the pack quite a bit. It stinks but done right they can hold
their own vs anyone except end game lungers and aimed blows who seem to be way OP at
that level.
Anyway, stats are important of course. Strength should at least be 9+ to get slashing
weapons. Con can be lower; I have gotten away with a con of 7 because I run them fast
and furious anyway so if they get out jumped or crit dodged and ripped then they go
down easy. Most fights are over in minute 1 anyway. Size is a thing; smaller sizes
would be nice but you have issues with damage if you go low size and strength less
than 11. I have an upper limit of around 14 size and a lower one of 5 in my current
crew. Wit is a no brainer: 15+ is almost mandatory but I am running one with a 13 that
is doing ok but learning slows down to a crawl if you have less than 15. Will is super
necessary so I try not to go below 15 here with a build. Speed isn't really a
priority, so I often go as low as 3 here and they still do very well. More speed would
be nice, but speed is a luxury and not a necessity. Deftness is nice, I won't run a
WOS with less than a 13 here; my highest is 21 with a current ADM build.
Now how to run them. Well, minute one is offensive so I typically run 10-10-6 and then
taper off to a high offensive effort and a low or moderate activity level. It seems
that the majority of my ADM builds prefer a high-low pace.
So a couple of current warrior builds to show off the style.
Midnight, currently in ADM -- 9-11(2)-10-17-15-3-21, about to start stat raises
but currently has ad masters in attack and initiative.
Ishmail currently in Home Guard -- 12-9-6-15-17-9-15, currently at 93 skills and
wont be stat raising for a minute.
Average Joe in Mordant -- 11-11-14-13-13-9-13, painfully bad at learning and
definitely not recommended for the faint of heart.
Beowulf in Seam -- 11-12-9-15-17-3-17, currently at 54 skills and near the top of
the arena. Has fallen on hard times of late because of diminishing returns on
skill learns.
Broken in Shadowspire -- 9-14-9-17-17-5-13, very new and probably going to be a
.500 warrior when it's all said and done because of the low speed and deftness
combo.
Bender in DM 41 -- 9-7-14-17-17-3-17, currently undefeated and duelmaster, won't
last long but he started out as a tourney warrior and has gone at best 6-3 and
went 4-3 in this past mail-in as an adept.
So for anyone who doesn't know, a speed and deftness of 21 total is needed to get
normal coordination and a combo of 28 is needed to get the "fights well with either
hand" tag on your roll up. So not really relevant to the topic but just thought I'd
throw that out there. I like to keep this total at the very least 18 to get slightly
uncoordinated on all my builds because coordination is vital to defense and attack.
Okay, that's my take on this fun style. If I have enlightened anyone then you are
welcome, I hope I at least entertained everyone. Take it easy.
