                                 THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
                       Reflections by the Champion of the Horn

     What a cool welcome!  Wish I could've been here for turn 1, but Suave said he
already opened a city on the throne (Illis) so many years ago.  I half expect to be
up here until I get inducted, partially because I'm so old compared to you guys.
Seems Shiny Penny-- wherever he is-- holds the spot of senior statesman, but
afterwards, it's me and a bunch of my teammates.  Holding out of tourneys was all
part of our grand strategy to dominate!  Yeah.  Right.
     Good to be here.  Hope I can hang for awhile.  For what it's worth, I'm
switching to my favorite weapon from now on: the medium shield.  I don't know why
Suave hasn't let me use it more.  The hypocrite lets Pinchy use the large shield.
     So far, a waste and a basher have held been Champion Horndog here, while aimers
have yet to win a fight.  This is the kind of arena I could get used to.  For now,
however, I'll let Suave take the horn and bellow his typical nonsense.

-- Delaware Run

All --

     Like D-Run, I'm happy to be here.  If ever there was a manager and arena made
for each other, this is it.  However, I can see how it might be discouraging to other
managers to see guys with so much experience clogging the top ranks.  I suspect few
here other than my guys are maxxed.  Not that the younger troops are; I'm guessing
Hard Knocks will occupy the basement for a long, long time.
     Unlike Talayha, I won't downchallenge or avoid here.  In fact, for the first few
turns, I don't intend to challenge anyone.  If anyone wants a shot at the throne, let
him say so and I'll welcome all suitors.  By the way, Anvil, D-Run's attempted skill
train was an accident.  I also won't do anything to keep people here beyond their
shelf life.
     Lastly, a note of advice: never get in a fight with the ground.  No matter how
hard you hit the ground, it never loses.

-- Suave

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

     Okay, here we are once again, and the spy report for Storm Rock is being written
to the tune of a rousing storm.  They tell me this disturbs something in the guts of
the golem, but I'm going to risk it.  It isn't like I've got a week to pick my best
working hours.

     First, let me thank those of you who wrote personals, and especially Delaware
Run for the column.  They add something to the newsletter, and they make my job more
interesting.

     Biggest point gain:  Ting-Ting.  Thirty-four points.
     Biggest drop:  Shiny Penny.  Right into the sand at twenty-eight points.
     Most avoided:  Of Wolf and Man.  Most avoiding:  Sentinels.
     Most challenged:  Four of Spades.
     Nineteen fights, with four standbys.  If you guys want to rename the standbys,
we'll accept suggestions.
     Five challenges.
     Five stealth warriors.  The Commission is working on this, but for now, here
they are:
          IVANMOE (6-3874) of SOUL STRIPPERS II.
          LULU (45-4135) of DARQUE FORCES.
          THE BRIDE (45-4180) of DARQUE FORCES.
          EVANGELION (59-2340) of IMPROVED ILLUSION.
          LUC STARWALKER (58-6100) of NEXT GENERATION.

And now, the fights:
     JESUS CHRYSLER (10-4700) (23-15-2,70) of TERRAPIN STATION fought IVANMOE (6-
3874) (17-8-4,63) of SOUL STRIPPERS II.  JESUS CHRYSLER was overpowered by IVANMOE in
a 1 minute one-sided match.  The winner, Ivanmoe, is running under a stealth spell
but certainly rose in the rankings.  My guess would be somewhere around ten points.
     LULU (45-4135) (19-10-1,75) of DARQUE FORCES fought JEHLCH (29-5528) (20-15-
2,67) of MID EARTH.  LULU was defeated by JEHLCH in an exciting 3 minute brutal bout.
Lulu is also a stealth warrior and will probably have dropped, my guess being...
maybe fifteen points?  Between ten and twenty.
     THE BRIDE (45-4180) (23-9-1,75) of DARQUE FORCES fought LHISSON (29-5456) (25-
20-0,66) of MID EARTH.  THE BRIDE devastated LHISSON in a 1 minute mismatched brawl.
The Bride is the third stealth warrior.  Probably a rise in points, but not a lot.
Maybe... five?  Lhisson is our top aimed blow.  No telling whether any of the stealth
warriors would be stylemasters if they could.  It isn't like they hose this
condition, after all.
     DOMINATRIX (81-583) (20-15-3,60) of OF WOLF AND MAN fought ALASTARIAN DESERTER
(107-1) (0-0-0,30) of Fine Imported Standbys.  DOMINATRIX won victory over ALASTARIAN
DESERTER in an exciting 2 minute fray.  Nobody was surprised, and the point gain for
this win was trifling.  Although, I have heard some people wondering why it took Domi
so long.  Two minutes for a Deserter?  My guess is that she was having too much fun
to end it.

     ZEVRAN (81-1258) (19-24-1,61) of OF WOLF AND MAN fought AZAGHAL (81-1223) (18-
19-0,68) of DRAGONBANE GUILD.  ZEVRAN was overpowered by AZAGHAL in a crowd pleasing
1 minute one-sided duel.  No surprise here, and the two contestants were pushed
further away from each other, Azaghal higher, Zevran lower.  They might not match up
again, and that's too bad.  They sounded like such a well-suited pair, too.
     FAN ZHEN (81-1288) (16-8-1,68) of DARQUE AGES fought LIATH (81-398) (20-16-1,68)
of OF WOLF AND MAN.  FAN ZHEN was overpowered by LIATH in a 1 minute mismatched
conflict.  A superficially even fight that turned into a mismatch as soon as people
started throwing blows around.  Another case of the contestants being pushed farther
apart in the rankings.
     GRATH (81-581) (26-12-1,100) of OF WOLF AND MAN fought EVANGELION (59-2340) (18-
15-1,79) of IMPROVED ILLUSION.  GRATH luckily beat EVANGELION in a 15 minute brawl.
And luck it was, too!  Sure, Evangelion was lower in the ranks, but the stealth
effects makes it very hard to see the blighted warrior on the sands.  My guess would
be that Evangelion dropped, but not a lot, no more than ten and probably less.
     FROO-FROO (18-9589) (34-30-3,115) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought ARIOCH (81-996) (25-
15-2,96) of OF WOLF AND MAN.  FROO-FROO demolished ARIOCH in a crowd pleasing 1
minute mismatched competition.  Some guys just can't stand all that, um, overdone
decoration.  The ruffles, bows, tassels, fringes, you know the kind of thing.  And
despite the startling fashion statement, Froo-Froo is our top slasher.  Amazing,
isn't it?  There's steel under the fluff.
     LUC STARWALKER (58-6100) (39-38-0,136) of NEXT GENERATION fought ALMOST PRETTY
(42-4496) (36-23-0,131) of COLOR ME SUAVE.   LUC STARWALKER beat ALMOST PRETTY in an
exciting 2 minute fight.  Wow, Luc, a stealth warrior, came out of nowhere and
whacked Almost right on the teddy bear!  Mean.

     SPIREWOLF (81-768) (24-26-2,123) of DRAGONBANE GUILD fought PINCH BLISTER (18-
9859) (27-18-0,96) of CENTER FOR OLDS.  SPIREWOLF was defeated by PINCH BLISTER in an
action packed 3 minute match.  And very painful the 'Wolf found it, too.  You don't
often see a wolf with a blister... there.  In passing, I will note that Pinch is our
top total parry and could have made the Wolf sweat a lot longer out there.
     SHINY PENNY (32-3789) (54-107-2,174) of FOUND IN THE SAND fought TING-TING (81-
776) (28-12-0,119) of FUCHI OWNED.  SHINY PENNY lost to TING-TING in a popular 1
minute duel.  This was the fight with the biggest point movement, and considering
what a mismatch it was, who is surprised?  Not the bookies, which is a good thing.  A
surprised bookie is a nasty neighbor.
     MOIST TOWELETTE (42-4430) (44-38-4,183) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought TELGOR (107-27)
(0-0-0,200) of Fine Imported Standbys.  MOIST TOWELETTE slimly lost to TELGOR in a
popular 2 minute duel.  I know Telgor is higher ranked, but still, Moist, I expected
better of you.  Surely the top striker in this fine arena can handle a mere standby?
     TOE PUPPET (18-9544) (66-39-0,212) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought RIRORNI CAPTAIN
(107-26) (0-0-0,200) of Fine Imported Standbys.  TOE PUPPET handily defeated RIRORNI
CAPTAIN in an action packed 2 minute uneven fight.  A more acceptable result.  Toe is
our top parry-riposte, the gods know why.
     DELAWARE RUN (42-4400) (70-53-5,221) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought VERMICIOUS KNID
(107-30) (0-0-0,240) of Fine Imported Standbys.  DELAWARE RUN was luckily beaten by
VERMICIOUS KNID in an exciting 2 minute struggle.  This was a heartbreaker of a
fight.  With the duelmaster or whatever we finally decide to call him losing to a
standby, the title is up for grabs by the highest ranked warrior at the end of the
day's fights.  And though Delaware remains our top basher, someone else gets the
title today.

Okay, the challenges:
     VIRGINIA, NO SANTA (65-6623) (21-10-0,90) of GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS challenged
OBROJOBO (7-5869) (18-17-1,81) of SENTINELS.  Down 9.  VIRGINIA, NO SANTA butchered
OBROJOBO in a 1 minute uneven Challenge brawl.  That is one mean kid, that Virginia.
Remind me not to tell her that there's no Easter Bunny.
     CAJETAN (7-6036) (17-11-1,82) of SENTINELS challenged SULTAN OF SWING (10-5076)
(23-14-2,85) of TERRAPIN STATION.  Up 3.  CAJETAN defeated SULTAN OF SWING in an
exciting 1 minute Challenge fight.  Seems to me I saw Cajetan dancing on the beach a
couple of nights ago.  Guess he knows how to swing things--he had a woman with a
really good tan that night.
     GAD (18-9239) (25-17-1,79) of SHEPHERDS challenged LAZY LOOKOUT (42-4504) (27-
24-1,61) of DUNGEON CELL.  Down 18.  GAD vanquished LAZY LOOKOUT in a 1 minute
mismatched Challenge brawl.  And are we surprised?  No, not really.
     PLANKTON (18-9748) (24-23-2,100) of SEA DOGS challenged RINDEL (29-5346) (25-18-
0,100) of MID EARTH.  Straight across.  PLANKTON savagely defeated RINDEL in an
exciting 7 minute gory Challenge melee.  Seven minutes is longer than I care to sit
still, some days, but this was full of action.  Well, of excitement, which is pretty
much the same thing.  Plankton, which I thought was either some kind of little stuff
in the water or else a heavy board, is the top parry-lunger.

For the title:
     ANVIL IRONFIST (81-84) (41-17-0,189) of DRAGONBANE GUILD challenged FOUR OF
SPADES (42-4234) (57-40-2,209) of COLOR ME SUAVE.  Up 20.  ANVIL IRONFIST was
viciously subdued by FOUR OF SPADES in a 2 minute Challenge fight.  A pair of
stylemasters here, Four being the top lunger and Anvil the leading wall of steel.
And our congratulations go to Four of Spades, or new Champion.

Anvil -- Awesome damage rocks.  You may want to watch out for Four of Spades, though.
He hits even harder. -- Delaware Run

bout.  No way I'm leaving it behind. -- Almost Pretty

Sultan of Swing -- One backup?  Only one?  What is this, amateur hour? -- Pinch
Blister
P.S.  Yeah, I could last an hour.  What of it?

homelier. -- Suave, who could use a dictionary

     A dictionary will make it homelier?  You're right, we need a good bar.

Azaghal -- Well fought. -- Gad

The ranking issue is all on the commission.  My paperwork was all filed and on time!
-- Assur

     Right.  We know it's the clerks.  We don't know WHY the clerks are doing it.
     But efforts are being made to fix things. -- Larkin
