Hello!

     Today there were 23 fights.  Wow, 9 deaths, including 5 DA challenges.  This is 
turn 1070, which means there was a chance for three of the other dead to be avenged 
this time.  But as far as I can tell, none of the teams Crazy Co-Workers, Rise of 
Chaos, or Sentinels attempted to fight the ones that killed their teammates.  That's 
sad.  Here's the one that died today:  JAZMO (7-7024) (7-3-0,63) of PHILANTHROPISTS2 
challenged THE LADY (7-7511) (13-23-0,72) of REAVERS.  JAZMO was slaughtered by THE 
LADY in a 1 minute uneven Challenge duel.  Reavers had a 3-0-1 turn.
     Koolaid is still the Duelmaster and top Lunger.  GO ASAI (7-5627) (13-6-0,111) of 
NINJAS TV challenged KOOLAID (7-7571) (15-6-1,113) of RISE OF CHAOS.  GO ASAI was 
subdued by KOOLAID in a 1 minute master's Challenge Title competition.  Go Asai is our 
top Striker and, I think, our only Tournament Victor.  Koolaid got three challenges 
this turn.
     Face of Chaos was represented by 2 warriors today, and both of them won.  Here's 
the fight I liked best of the two:  ROXANE (7-7565) (10-2-0,112) of FACE OF CHAOS 
fought BITTY BRUISER (7-7535) (11-11-0,79) of ODD SQUAD.  ROXANE handily defeated 
BITTY BRUISER in a popular 2 minute bloody uneven fight.  Roxane is Bonsur's best 
Total Parry.
     Quietus remains the most popular warrior in Bonsur arena.  QUIETUS (7-7542) (16-
14-1,104) of REAVERS fought KUNG-FU MASTER (7-671) (0-0-0,70).  QUIETUS demolished 
KUNG-FU MASTER in a crowd pleasing 1 minute one-sided brawl.
     Espana avoided Chaos Kids.  But it didn't work!  DUENDE (7-7375) (21-16-0,82) of 
ESPANA challenged RUSTY HINGE (7-7543) (20-9-0,112) of CHAOS KIDS.  DUENDE viciously 
subdued RUSTY HINGE in a 2 minute veteran's Challenge competition.  Duende got 23 
points, too.  Duende is our top-rated Slasher.

Those were the most interesting fights I could see from my treetop.

Nomad, wow!  I remember Vikings.  I remember Chmborazo.  Jinx and I were Sophomores in 
high school during those fights, it was Fall 1986 into Spring 1987 (I received turn 37 
on October 11th, 1986, and Turn 51 on April 27, 1987).  My records show Jacob fought 
Chimborazo in Arena 10 turns 44 and 51 splitting those fights.  Later fought in ADM 
and lost.  Culubra defeated him in Arena 10 on turn 32.  Jacob defeated Dimetreas turn 
53.  Culubra fought Everest 5 times going a wonderful 1-4 between turns 40 and 52.  
Jacob only fought Everest once, defeating him turn 45.  Yes, you are correct that 
Jacob and Culubra were on The Warriors.  I changed that team name to Praetorian Guard 
later, although those two still fight under The Warriors banner.  I wish I had my old 
fights.  After my divorce and move in 2005 I discarded ALL my play by mail documents 
from 1984-2005.  I just couldn't keep moving all of that.  I wish RSI had historic 
records. Thanks for the stroll down memory lane. -- Shocking Toad
