REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Joyous salutations, O heroes of Storm Rock!
Once again, there were two challenges this turn in our fair arena, and as usual,
they were posted by the Big Lake guild. That guild also posted the only avoids that I
know of, avoiding Color Me Suave. Hail the Big Lake guild for showing such energy and
interest!
SYE THE BEARDED (81-801) (37-16-1,155) of BIG LAKE OUTCASTS challenged MOD COD
(55-2638) (269-188-4,210) of RHYME TYME. SYE THE BEARDED was devastated by MOD COD in
a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight. It is to be expected, with the difference in
experience, but it was a valiant effort. Mod Cod is still the overall popularity
leader.
BURM WOLFSNARL (81-113) (36-22-0,145) of BIG LAKE OUTCASTS challenged
CHATROOMMATE (18-10034) (33-30-0,126) of CENTER FOR OLDS. BURM WOLFSNARL subdued
CHATROOMMATE in a 2 minute Challenge melee. Chatroommate is Storm Rock's most highly
celebrated Parry-Lunge. Huzzah!
Speaking of showing an interest, our own Obrojobo wrote an ad! He expressed his
hope that with Mod Cod out of the Champion's chair, he might have a chance at it
himself. Alas! ALMOST PRETTY (42-4496) (132-69-0,266) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought
OBROJOBO (7-5869) (76-56-2,222) of SENTINELS. ALMOST PRETTY demolished OBROJOBO in a
crowd pleasing 2 minute uneven Title fight. Almost Pretty is our premier Wall of
Steel, while Obrojobo is Storm Rock's best Slasher.
1977 AMC MATADOR (42-4116) (115-87-0,224) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought ANZAHANZEK (7-
6204) (36-41-0,186) of SENTINELS. 1977 AMC MATADOR overpowered ANZAHANZEK in a crowd
pleasing 1 minute one-sided fight. Anzahanzed is Storm Rock's most puissant Parry-
strike, while the Matador is... strangely enough... not a stylemaster at this moment.
THE HYPHEN-DASH (42-4499) (82-80-1,225) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought VILLAINOUS
INFORMER (107-23) (0-0-0,181) of . THE HYPHEN-DASH vanquished VILLAINOUS INFORMER in
a 2 minute mismatched fight. Thus, The Hyphen-Dash showed us why he... it... is our
best Lunger.
BEDDER (18-10043) (59-99-3,206) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought INIGO MONTOYA (33-8054)
(33-21-2,168) of BIG LAKE BANDITS. BEDDER devastated INIGO MONTOYA in an action
packed 1 minute one-sided competition. Bedder is our most highly ranked Striker, and
we do not know the style of Inigo Montoya, who apparently forgot to challenge.
JELLO KNUCKLES (42-4554) (90-84-0,201) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought AMBER WOLFWALKER
(107-11) (0-0-0,220) of . JELLO KNUCKLES slimly won victory over AMBER WOLFWALKER in
a 4 minute duel. Jello Knuckles is our supreme Total Parry, and was voted this turn's
favorite fighter.
TANTRUM YOGA (42-4563) (33-24-2,113) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought IMPRISONED SPY
(107-9) (0-0-0,170) of . TANTRUM YOGA was overpowered by IMPRISONED SPY in a 1
minute uneven duel. I do not trust that imprisoned spy. I think he may have paid
someone to let him fight, thus giving himself a chance to escape.
HARD KNOCKS (42-4555) (28-28-0,111) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought ZORRO, THE GAY BLADE
(107-8) (0-0-0,110) of . HARD KNOCKS defeated ZORRO, THE GAY BLADE in a exciting 1
minute fight. Hard Knocks is our most dangerous Aimed Blow.
DIRTY DIAPERS (38-5071) (33-47-1,41) of BASH BROS CHILDREN fought RIRORNI SOLDIER
(107-3) (0-0-0,30) of . DIRTY DIAPERS was handily defeated by RIRORNI SOLDIER in a 1
minute one-sided bout.
I'M POWERLESS (59-2629) (31-57-0,73) of BASHAHOLICS ANON fought CAPTURED PIRATE
KING (107-2) (0-0-0,30) of . I'M POWERLESS demolished CAPTURED PIRATE KING in a 1
minute mismatched competition. I'm Powerless is, of course, the top-ranked Basher and
hardly Powerless.
Honored gladiators, that is all I can report today. Let us agree to resume in
two weeks' time.

MAKING YOUR CHALLENGES GO THROUGH
First, you need to be sure you are making your challenges correctly.
1. Are you writing down the warrior I.D. number of the warrior you want to
challenge?
2. Is your handwriting clear?
3. Is the warrior you are challenging within range of your warrior? Warriors
can challenge within their own class and the next higher class, plus the "Challenger"
classes can also challenge the next lower class. So, an Adept can challenge Adepts
and Challenger Adepts. A Challenger Adept can challenge Adepts, Challenger Adepts,
and Champions. (Try not to challenge down, though. Besides being unsportsmanlike and
making everyone mad, it isn't advantageous to your warriors. They need to fight more
experienced warriors so they will learn.)
4. Are your warriors eligible to make challenges? If they didn't fight within
the last two turns, then they can't challenge.
5. Are the warriors they want to fight eligible to receive challenges? If they
didn't fight within the last two turns, then they can't be challenged.
Next, adjust your choices for the maximum likelihood of getting your challenges.
There are several things that will help:
1. Have each of your warriors challenge two different opponents from two
different teams. That way, if the first opponent's team doesn't fight that turn, you
still might get your second challenge.
2. Use your avoids. Have each warrior avoid the teams of whoever you think
might be likely to challenge him. If you can get out of being challenged, that
increases your chance of getting your own challenge through.
3. Don't challenge warriors who didn't fight last turn. The odds are higher
that they won't be fighting this turn.
4. Don't challenge warriors who might be involved in a bloodfeud (either as the
killers, or the avengers). A bloodfeud challenge has priority over all other
challenges.
5. Don't challenge Tournament Victors. A TV challenge has priority over all
other challenges except bloodfeuds. You'll need to do a little research in back
issues of the newsletter to find out who the TVs are.
6. Don't challenge warriors who you know are going to challenge someone else, or
are going to get challenged by someone else. Your challenge has a better chance of
getting through if it is the only challenge to that particular warrior.
7. Don't challenge the "easy pickings." That is, warriors above you who have
way too few fights or very bad records for where they are ranked. They will tend to
get challenged a lot.
8. Don't challenge warriors who are likely to be avoiding your team. This
includes any warrior your team fought within the last two turns.
Well, it sounds like I've eliminated just about everybody, doesn't it? Of course
you can challenge opponents who fit into one or more of those categories; just try to
find ones who don't. Your idea candidate for a challenge is: A warrior ranked
somewhat above your warrior in the same class, or in the next higher class, with a few
more fights than your warrior, and a winning record, who isn't a TV and isn't
currently at war with anyone.
I hope this will be of some help to you.
