Reflections by the Champion of the Horn
Hello, Storm Rockians!
Not exactly sure what to talk about in this column. I know the importance of
addressing the masses, but I'm at a loss concerning the content. Motivational
speeches are not my thing. If this were a regular arena, I might be able to talk
about my impending graduation. Sadly, I'm nowhere near any sort of milestone or
notable achievement. :::big sigh:::
I guess I can tell you a little bit about me. I started life in Illis, born and
raised on that Delarquan island. I spent most of my time in the arena fighting
warriors managed by Crip and Jorja with a few sprinkled in there and there from
Tripwire and Bobby Bigfoot. I made it off of one island just to end up on another
after graduation. I left Illis with a 17-15-1 record, which means thus far, my ADM
career has been kinder to me (four more fights will tell the whole story).
Well, that is it for now I guess. Hopefully, I'll get the opportunity to write
another one next turn. Oh, I guess it is of note to say I am only Darque's second
Champion at this level. The other one was many years ago in Crysalis. It is the
small victories...

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
So, here we are, the leaves are changing colors, the air is getting colder, we
have fights, personals, and a Champion's column, what more can we ask?
The Unknown Spymaster says that Josh got the most points, and Heinrik lost the
most, same fight, twenty-five points each. How can he tell? He's got a bag over his
head. Good thing, too, he's ugly and he dresses funny.
He says that Darque Forces was Most Avoided, and Nomadic Tribe avoided them the
most. I say he's making it up. I looked at the files, and nobody is listed as
having avoided anybody. When the arena's this small, there's no point in it.
He also implies that Gad got the most challenges, which, again, I think he's
just making up. All the challenges were issued BY Gad and his teammates, not against
'em.
We had thirteen fights, three challenges, two standbys, and no deaths of any
kind. This'll do to go on with.
JELLO KNUCKLES (42-4554) (36-27-0,44) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought CAPTURED PIRATE
KING (107-2) (0-0-0,30) of Fine Imported Standbys. JELLO KNUCKLES subdued CAPTURED
PIRATE KING in a crowd pleasing 3 minute match. I should hope so! This particular
Pirate King was imported especially for your duelling pleasure from Giduina in the
Fenarachan Isles.
1977 AMC MATADOR (42-4116) (52-39-0,77) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought RIRORNI SOLDIER
(107-3) (0-0-0,30) of Fine Imported Standbys. 1977 AMC MATADOR demolished RIRORNI
SOLDIER in a 1 minute mismatched competition. Easy work, but this Rirorni Soldier
was a new recruit. If he lasts, he should get better and be promoted to some more
substantial position.
BEDDER (18-10043) (26-21-2,142) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought FAN ZHEN (81-1288)
(28-23-2,139) of DARQUE AGES. BEDDER was beaten by FAN ZHEN in an exciting 1 minute
fight. Close, very close.
LHISSON (29-5456) (38-37-0,155) of MID EARTH fought AZAGHAL (81-1223) (28-28-
0,180) of DRAGONBANE GUILD. LHISSON beat AZAGHAL in a 2 minute melee. Aha! A bit
of an upset here. That'll make the bookies wild!
THE HYPHEN-DASH (42-4499) (33-19-1,180) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought RAGGEDY ANN
(45-4148) (46-20-0,178) of DARQUE FORCES. THE HYPHEN-DASH was unbelievably bested by
RAGGEDY ANN in a popular 6 minute duel. What is there not to believe?
HEINRIK (81-1257) (37-38-1,193) of CLAN LONGBEARD fought JOSH (18-9109) (25-27-
0,163) of SHEPHERDS. HEINRIK was vanquished by JOSH in a 1 minute one-sided duel.
Another bookie-teasing upset. Actually, I like to see the bookies get upset. It
serves 'em right. They're parasites.
RINDEL (29-5346) (40-33-0,186) of MID EARTH fought FROO-FROO (18-9589) (59-35-
4,198) of CENTER FOR OLDS. RINDEL was handily defeated by FROO-FROO in a 1 minute
uneven melee. Half-strangled by the feather boa, from what I could see.
OBROJOBO (7-5869) (29-25-1,204) of SENTINELS fought PINCH BLISTER (18-9859) (37-
38-0,168) of CENTER FOR OLDS. OBROJOBO overcame PINCH BLISTER in a 2 minute fight.
But I note that it was not "uneven," so Pinch might have some tricks to come back
with.
THE BRIDE (45-4180) (38-21-2,252) of DARQUE FORCES fought MOIST TOWELETTE (42-
4430) (69-43-4,208) of COLOR ME SUAVE. THE BRIDE was vanquished by MOIST TOWELETTE
in an exciting 1 minute mismatched fight. "Exciting" is putting it mildly! When
Moist chased the Bride around the arena, waving his towelette, well, I couldn't look
away!
The challenges:
VIRGINIA, NO SANTA (65-6623) (28-34-1,150) of GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS challenged
ALMOST PRETTY (42-4496) (55-34-0,179) of COLOR ME SUAVE. Up 29. VIRGINIA, NO SANTA
was vanquished by ALMOST PRETTY in a 1 minute Challenge brawl. I can't be sure from
up here in the spy reporter's box, but it seems to me that Almost looks prettier when
she wins.
GAD (18-9239) (35-38-1,199) of SHEPHERDS challenged FOUR OF SPADES (42-4234)
(84-44-3,292) of COLOR ME SUAVE. Up some insane amount. Maybe... 93? GAD was
handily defeated by FOUR OF SPADES in a 1 minute one-sided Challenge match. What a
surprise, eh? You've got to have a full house if you want to beat the Four of
Spades. Or at least a full apartment (a pair and a high ace, it's an Andorian poker
hand).
SHINY PENNY (32-3789) (69-123-2,207) of FOUND IN THE SAND challenged WALLI
WEEBLE (21-6935) (37-25-0,194) of NOMADIC TRIBE. Down 13. SHINY PENNY devastated
WALLI WEEBLE in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight. That experience will do it.
For the title:
EVANGELION (59-2340) (34-26-1,261) of IMPROVED ILLUSION fought DELAWARE RUN (42-
4400) (95-59-5,208) of COLOR ME SUAVE. EVANGELION was overpowered by DELAWARE RUN in
a 2 minute one-sided Title fight. Despite the column, Evangelion loses. Today. Who
knows what might happen in two weeks? Congratulations to both.

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Rindel -- What a total fluke outcome! It is not that common at this level, but
luckily it's not that permanent either. -- The Bride
Obrojobo -- Interesting name! Not sure what else I can change at this point. I did
appreciate the learn though. Those have become scarce as of late. -- Raggedy Ann
Josh -- Obviously not the outcome I would have wished for, but I'm assuming this is
going to be a regular thing for me as the turns move on. I am now 3-7 over my last
10 turns. I have learned 17 skills over the course of those fights, but all I really
need is one more before I can start truly developing. -- Fan Zhen
Four of Spades -- I would swear you're full of heart? Your love and generosity is
undeniable. Thanks for yet another skill. -- Gad
Almost Pretty -- I'll say it. You are ugly. -- Virginia
Pinch not this Penny
Fan Zhen -- A win and a train would have been even better. -- Josh
