Practice pays for I'M POWERLESS, who pummelled TANTRUM YOGA, to pocket 31 points. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, I'M POWERLESS was winsome, after beating TANTRUM YOGA and seeing him lose 24 points. What can be a greater victory? OBROJOBO has taken his place as the top, as STORM ROCK's new Duelmaster. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem... My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights! Like the noble eagle soaring amongst the mountaintops, so stand the warriors of CENTER FOR OLDS, alone and unchallenged. The warriors of CENTER FOR OLDS found their efforts at combat frustrated as NOMADIC TRIBE apparently had more important things to do than fight. Is it charming personality? Conversational abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, CHATROOMMATE is the most challenged warrior. Them's the breaks, HARD KNOCKS. Expecting fair challenges from BIG LAKE BANDITS is evidently too much to ask. INIGO MONTOYA will have to start challenging legless old maids next, as it was subdued by HARD KNOCKS. Good show, HARD KNOCKS! Take heed STORM ROCK, of the unprincipled action of SYE THE BEARDED. By challenging DIRTY DIAPERS, 33 points below him, SYE THE BEARDED besmirches the noble art of dueling. SYE THE BEARDED subdued DIRTY DIAPERS with a point difference of 33. So this is what STORM ROCK calls a duel. This will make an interesting tale. Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. All good things must come to an end. As the seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to leave this place. Like a mixed metaphor, and an overtaxed simile, I now bid STORM ROCK farewell-- Novgorodny Vir CHAMPION OF THE HORN W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY OBROJOBO 7-5869 67 53 2 261 SENTINELS (354) BONSUR GRAND CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY BEDDER 18-10043 46 88 3 220 CENTER FOR OLDS (364) TALCAMA THE HYPHEN-DASH 42-4499 66 72 1 214 COLOR ME SUAVE (365) RODEKI DELAWARE RUN 42-4400 151 90 5 212 COLOR ME SUAVE (365) RODEKI TOE PUPPET 18-9544 76 42 211 CENTER FOR OLDS (364) TALCAMA GRAND CHAMPIONS W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY ALMOST PRETTY 42-4496 112 65 200 COLOR ME SUAVE (365) RODEKI 1977 AMC MATADOR 42-4116 96 82 199 COLOR ME SUAVE (365) RODEKI WALLI WEEBLE 21-6935 45 44 196 NOMADIC TRIBE (310) SUNSET JELLO KNUCKLES 42-4554 75 75 193 COLOR ME SUAVE (365) RODEKI GRAND CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY CAJETAN 7-6036 28 36 1 171 SENTINELS (354) BONSUR GRAND CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY -MAULI LAMA 7-6292 25 31 2 169 SENTINELS (354) BONSUR GRAND ADEPTS W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY IRON BITCH 72-5859 25 30 2 146 TWISTED SISTERS (413) DRAGONHEAD GRAND INITIATES W L K PNTS TEAM NAME CITY HARD KNOCKS 42-4555 17 15 90 COLOR ME SUAVE (365) RODEKI SYE THE BEARDED 81-801 23 10 86 BIG LAKE OUTCASTS (410) SHADOWSPIRE I'M POWERLESS 59-2629 22 42 71 BASHAHOLICS ANON (375) ILLIS INIGO MONTOYA 33-8054 23 11 1 62 BIG LAKE BANDITS (409) NIATOLI ISLAND CHATROOMMATE 18-10034 19 20 58 CENTER FOR OLDS (364) TALCAMA DIRTY DIAPERS 38-5071 25 31 1 57 BASH BROS CHILDREN (407) CLIFFHOME TANTRUM YOGA 42-4563 22 11 2 54 COLOR ME SUAVE (365) RODEKI BURM WOLFSNARL 81-113 23 16 37 BIG LAKE OUTCASTS (410) SHADOWSPIRE '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

Whenever this many people came together to petition for something, it meant trouble. For him, anyway. Records to be altered. Altering records was Bad. It made Extra Work. His assistant clerk leaned close and whispered, "If it weren't for gladiators, we wouldn't have jobs. Smile at them and ask what they want." Algernon closed his eyes briefly. Looking at this crowd made him dizzy. They were all wearing black and white stripes. Like a herd of zebras, except that zebras didn't carry swords. Then he took a deep breath and managed a smile. "What... ah, what can I do for you?" "We want new names," the first gladiator said. There was a number on the front of his shirt: 0381. He thumped the number with his thumb. "This here isn't a name--" "We want REAL names!" That voice came from farther back in the crowd. "Yeah! We've paid our dues," another shouted, "and we've EARNED real names!" One from the very back yelled, "I want to be called Tom." All the others turned to look at him. Algernon couldn't see him, but apparently those looks were accusing. Well, he could understand that, "Tom" was such a... common name. "My mom called me Tom," the voice in the back protested. "It's a good name." "It isn't the name you put on the petition," 0381 said. "We talked about this. We got our manager's agreement. You get the name on the petition." "But--!" Algernon didn't really want to keep staring at all these stripes while they argued. He picked up the petition. "These names are the ones you want?" 0381 turned back. "Yes." "It's a lot of trouble, and when other people see that YOU are getting name changes, THEY are going to want them--" Seeing the gladiators beginning to frown... and finger their weapons, he went on quickly, "So I figure we might as well make it a complete deal. A Name-Change-O-Rama. Everyone who wants a name change can petition for it. Get it all over with at once." He glanced at the petition, shuddered slightly, and passed it to his clerk. "We'll announce it, proclaim it, even, and you will get the names on this petition. And others will get the names THEY think they should have had, too." He paused. "And I think I'll get a new name, I'm tired of being an Algernon...." * * * * * Warrior and team name changes will be accepted during the month of March.
