REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
So, a sunny and cool day, the finest kind for fighting. Or several other
occupations that occur to me.
According to the golems, the biggest point gainer today was Jello Knuckles who
got sixteen points for defeating Ruth. That seems stingy, but maybe the fact that it
took Jello eight minutes to do it figures in somehow. Pinch Blister is said to have
dropped the farthest, eleven points, as a result of losing to Pocket News. Well,
actually, I'm sure Pinch DID drop that far, just... not totally certain it was the
biggest drop. If you can't trust the golems, you're stuck with doing the math
yourself, and I don't feel inclined on this bright morning.
Nobody was most avoided--also something the golems have gotten wrong in the
past, but there were actually no avoids posted. I checked. The two classic examples
of golem-error in that matter are teams being avoided by the Dark Arena (usually in
Basic arenas) and teams avoiding themselves.
Evangelion was most challenged, which wasn't difficult since she got the only
challenge.
Alarond wishes to remind us that blood on a purple robe does not change it from
a purple robe. He's never tried to clean one! Not that many people want to wear a
purple robe, it makes most of 'em look liverish.
We had thirteen fights, one challenge, and four standbys. I note in passing
that all the standbys fought gladiators from the Darque Ages.
So.
COPERNICUS (81-163) (25-13-1,53) of DARQUE AGES fought CAPTURED PIRATE KING
(107-2) (0-0-0,30) of Fine Imported Standbys. COPERNICUS viciously butchered
CAPTURED PIRATE KING in a 2 minute bloody bout. Talk about not sparing the rod! Or,
of course, other weapon as desired.
JOAN OF ARC (81-165) (23-19-0,40) of DARQUE AGES fought R.O.U.S. (107-4) (0-0-
0,50) of Fine Imported Standbys. JOAN OF ARC was beaten by R.O.U.S. in a crowd
pleasing 3 minute gory conflict. Some people just can't take rats. I'm not terribly
fond of them myself, and when they're Rats of Unusual Size, well! I leave.
HUGH CAPET (81-690) (26-32-4,51) of DARQUE AGES fought UNEMPLOYED PERSON (107-5)
(0-0-0,70) of Fine Imported Standbys. HUGH CAPET was subdued by UNEMPLOYED PERSON in
a crowd pleasing 1 minute match. Why has no one ever employed this person as a
gladiator?
RUTH (18-10121) (33-24-0,139) of SHEPHERDS fought JELLO KNUCKLES (42-4554) (46-
38-0,147) of COLOR ME SUAVE. RUTH was demolished by JELLO KNUCKLES in a crowd
pleasing 8 minute mismatched match. For this, Jello achieved a modest increase in
his ranking.
PINCH BLISTER (18-9859) (41-55-0,124) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought POCKET NEWS (19-
5364) (19-16-0,121) of THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS. PINCH BLISTER was handily defeated by
POCKET NEWS in a 1 minute one-sided bout. And this resulted in the much more
exprienced Pinch taking a significant drop in the rankings.
HEINRIK (81-1257) (49-47-1,201) of CLAN LONGBEARD fought 1977 AMC MATADOR (42-
4116) (62-50-0,175) of COLOR ME SUAVE. HEINRIK vanquished 1977 AMC MATADOR in a
popular 1 minute brutal one-sided duel. It was the caltrops on the road that did it.
ALMOST PRETTY (42-4496) (70-40-0,196) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought THE UPRIGHT MAN
(10-5185) (29-31-0,166) of ALASTARIAN IDOL. ALMOST PRETTY vanquished THE UPRIGHT MAN
in a popular 1 minute uneven duel. Not a surprise, because neither one of these
gladiators has hidden tourney fights. That is something that pleases me a lot. It
makes things so much more, ah, transparent? What you see is what you get.
THE HYPHEN-DASH (42-4499) (40-33-1,186) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought VIRGINIA, NO
SANTA (65-6623) (35-48-1,161) of GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS. THE HYPHEN-DASH handily
defeated VIRGINIA, NO SANTA in a 1 minute uneven fight. Hyphen just dashed off a
little victory there.
MOIST TOWELETTE (42-4430) (87-46-4,309) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought LHISSON (29-
5456) (49-47-0,187) of MID EARTH. MOIST TOWELETTE overpowered LHISSON in a crowd
pleasing 1 minute one-sided struggle. Thus cleaning, thoroughly, Lhisson's clock.
No one likes a dirty dial.
FAN ZHEN (81-1288) (42-30-2,219) of DARQUE AGES fought ARENAMASTER SANDAVOL
(107-28) (0-0-0,200) of Fine Imported Standbys. FAN ZHEN overpowered ARENAMASTER
SANDAVOL in a 1 minute mismatched match. This always tickles me, not that it's a big
deal HERE, but for incoming warriors (which Fan Zhen is not), beating an arenamaster
can be such a rush.
THE BRIDE (45-4180) (53-27-2,216) of DARQUE FORCES fought JOSH (18-9109) (37-36-
0,193) of SHEPHERDS. THE BRIDE vanquished JOSH in a popular 1 minute mismatched
brawl. I guess that means no wedding soon?
The challenge:
GAD (18-9239) (45-49-1,243) of SHEPHERDS challenged EVANGELION (59-2340) (43-38-
1,190) of IMPROVED ILLUSION. Down 53. GAD was viciously subdued by EVANGELION in a
crowd pleasing 4 minute Challenge fight. Ouch! That's got to be seriously
embarrasing.
And for the title:
FROO-FROO (18-9589) (78-37-4,279) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought SHINY PENNY (32-
3789) (81-132-2,230) of FOUND IN THE SAND. FROO-FROO demolished SHINY PENNY in a
popular 1 minute one-sided Title melee. Pennies just don't go as far as they used
to. Congratulations to Froo-Froo.

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Spymaster -- I was kind of shocked that a 12 point gain and a 9 point loss were the
biggest gains and drops for the turn, so I had to check. Turns out there was a
bigger moving fight, but it does appear that the Shiny Penny/Lhisson fight was the
second biggest recognition point fight. Heinrik/Froo Froo was the biggest (13 point
gain, 27 point loss). -- Assur
Ah! Those clerks in the Commission office got it wrong AGAIN! I've told
them and told them back in the office to check the contents of the water
cooler, but do they LISTEN to me? No! "Trust the golems, the golems are
infallible!" Bah!
Evangelion -- The last two turns haven't been quite as epic as prior fights, but I'm
sure we've got a few more good ones between us. I'm going to keep challenges coming
unless you ask me to stop. -- Gad
Since that would require an effort to communicate, you're probably safe.
Lhisson -- Just remember, that pennies do have value. -- Shiny Penny
Moist Towelette -- That is why I didn't want you when I was on the throne. Wiped me
clean. -- Josh
Almost Pretty -- You looked more than almost against me. -- Virginia
Pinch Blister -- Just so you know, TPs are the only style that can scum! -- Ruth,
scums with the best of them
Pocket News -- Thanks for coming last week. Wins are all. -- Upright Man
So much for being the favorite. Fame is fleeting.... -- Pocket News
