Well, here we are in our 2nd week of play, and (as expected) a number of
fighters seem to be avoiding the arena. Funny thing, when fighters were in
the
ring before the official opening of Pandemonium Circus, they were also
often
late with turn orders or missed turns altogether. I don't think they left
because play-testing is over. No. It seems to me that they probably either

didn't have the time, or decided that it wasn't their cup of tea. Probably
the
latter, since this isn't what you'd call a "time consuming" sport!

That means that the rest of us who remain in the ring must fight ever more

diligently to get others to jump in and do combat. Now please, don't think

of this as a shameless ploy to get you, the masters of the ring, to get
others
to join your profession. Nay I say. It is a shameful attempt. The more
aliens
who populate the circus, the merrier! By the way, I hope you like the
handy
way I've organized contest fight results by rank. Next week, I'll be
including
each fighter's record of wins, losses and draws too. Please, submit stuff
so I
can beef up the sportspage. Send in stories, questions, insults to other
fighters... whatever!

In other news, wealthy and notorious interstellar merchant (smuggler) Dan
Reynolds is the first official stable master in Pandemonium's short
history.
A brief ceremony was held in his honor and many Macovian dignitaries were
on hand to thank him for his outstanding financial support of the planet's

new sports complex. As a sign of appreciation, he was given a permanent
box
seat in the stands close to the Announcer's booth. In case you don't
already
know, a stable master is any manager who maintains multiple ring warriors
in the arena. Congratulations Mr. Reynolds! - OB
