Challenge Issued                   Tue Feb 17    Consonant
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a Challenge Document stapled to the boards in Tartarus. This one is 
written partially in a font that makes it look like an engraved invitation, 
and whoever made it up did a fairly good job with the desktop publishing. In a 
random touch of whimsy, there are stickers in the corners: the little gold 
stars that a schoolteacher would put on a paper before handing it back.


A Challenge is Formally Issued to

                Crash Man

By

                Epsilon's Bodyguard

To occur when

                The Challenged is Able

But before

                He is Hunted Down Like a Dog

Scott Wily and Irregulars to be in attendance. Robot Masters and Company are 
welcome to observe.

Formal Challenge                   Wed Feb 18    Buster Rod G
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Posted to the Tartarus boards.

                        From:
        Buster Rod G

                        To:
        Every last one of you weak fools that likes to shoot your mouths off.

                        Reason:
        You all deserve to learn what true power is before it ends your 
pathetic cycles of misery that are your lives.

                        Method:
        One on one, unless you know you can't hack it, in that case, you can 
bring a friend to share in your torment.

                        When:
        Anytime I'm not busy doing something more important, 
OOOOOOOOOUAAAAAAGH!



And yes, he really wrote "Oooooooooagh" in there. Up for the challenge?

Challenge Accepted                 Thu Feb 19    Crash Man
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where the challenge for Crash Man used to lie now rests a small note of paper 
with what appears to be a poorly-drawn Crash Bomb as a signature. The paper 
has been glued there at an unknown time and is apparently, and obviously, from 
Crash Man. It reads /exactly/ as follow: "Hey! I'll like, totally come. But be 
warned that we Beta Masters will /PWN/ you! Well, I will anyway. Since, you 
like, want to face me alone. Contact me if you aren't planning on backing up 
now that you know I'm going to kick you so hard it'll hurt!" A few characters 
were scribbled under the Crash Bomb, reading "8374!!" and "Scott blows, Wily 
rocks"

(OOC: In other words, I'm in. Let's just pray we can actually be online at the 
same time, Consonant- If you can't catch me weekdays (4 to 11 PM (Eastern)), 
then we'll have to do this on saturday/sunday. Whichever fits you most.)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[A message from Dynamo, available in Tartarus and other disresputable 
locations.]

        Attention, Maverick Hunters. Having had a nice night to think about 
it, I have decided that I'm going to start charging for the priviledge of 
beating up your rookies and teaching them humility. I have better things to do 
than train your Hunters for you, so I will only spar with the new meat, with 
the exception of Alpha's brother, who already asked me to fight, for a sum of 
2500 zenny per match.
        As an added incentive, should they best me, the fee is refunded. Since 
your new hotheads seem to have no lack of verbal bile, this hopefully will put 
a damper on the current trend of too many fights. Or, at the very least, earn 
me some well-deserved money.

aren't up to video game snuff anymore, and fighting them is boring. Who wants

OOC: The game is a fighting game, just like real combat, except with slightly 
different code...and it holds up to 8 players at once...so if a whole crowd

New Blood                          Sun Mar 21    Alexandria
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today another newcomer to the Tartarus dueling ring, Devotion, debuted in her 
first match versus another up and comer, Noble Griffon. The fight was intense 
with the small cyborg making excellent use of her speed and agility to 
outmanuever the much larger reploid opponent time and time again. It seemed 
like a very close match with Devotion's quick blade slowly wearing down the 
heavy armor of Noble Griffon but in the end one solid blow was able to take 
down the rookie battler and end the match. 

 Most people interviewed after the fight said that it looked like this unknown 
girl showed promise and she definately garnered some fans with her risky but 
effective tactics! At one point Devotion held her opponent completely 
entralled with nothing more than her deep and calming stare! Some of her new 
fans have said they have talked to the battler and claimed she could make the 
meanest of unsavory characters fall to his knees in wonder from her gaze. 

 Most astonishing of all was near the end of the match when she apparently 
gave Noble Eagle a kiss! That's right folks, she teleported right up and gave 
him a smack on the cheek! But not soon after the large bird returned the favor 
by crushing Devotion straight into the ground. That's gratitude for you! 

 Well, with Devotion's career starting off with a loss it seems she still made 
a lasting impression. The crowd eagerly anticipates the next appearance of the 
mysterious girl cyborg though they'll just have to deal with the usual 
ruffians and loudmouths until then.

Master Chef Fire challenges Roll!  Tue Mar 23    Fire Man
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At first, all is dark, and then lights dimly turn on revealing the a figure 
shrouded in mist from cleverly placed buckets of dry ice. Then the mist fades 
and flames can be seen burning proudly and the lights suddenly turn revealing 
the Master Chef Fire Man and casting him in sillouette. He thrusts his finger 
forward pointing at the camera and booms his challenge

"I master chef Fire hereby challenge Roll to a duel at Wily World, let the 
culinary dishes prove who is the mightiest chef the family!" He whips out a 
long knife (which of course is stylized with flames) and tosses a skinned 
chicken into the air and at the precise moment throws the knife stapling it to 
the camera. While the picture is gone, Fire's voice can still be heard.

"What's the matter, Chicken?"

The sound of pots and pans clanging comes in before the picture does.

Roll appears on camera, apparently standing before a counter somewhere, in a 
large, industrial-scale kitchen in an undisclosed location. Stainless steel 
everywhere, spotlessly clean. Her right hand is currently replaced with a 
cheese grater, which she is using to, naturally, grate cheese.

"Hmm? Oh! Hi there, Fire!" she says cheerfully, looking thoughtfully towards 
the camera for a moment. And then she beams softly and declares, "I've wanted 
to have a chance to cook with you again for such a long time! Challenge 
accepted!"

The camera then fades out with the sound of a gong being sounded.

Challenge                          Thu Apr 08    Crash Man
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A challenge has been issued:

To: Maverick Hunter Glaive

By: Crash Man (aka Crashbo)

On A: Paper

For: Being in our way so often

Because: We hate you

Reason: Let's see you back up those words!

Time: When you're not busy saying you're so great

Spectators: Why not?

I Am: Better than you

Ha: Haha

Under all of these details written on the said sheet of paper, which would of 
course get the rumor to Glaive's ears one way or another, a Crash Bomb has 
been drawn very poorly, obviously standing there as a signature of some sort. 
A can of Wily Beer Ex is also drawn. Thou shalt fear. There are also numbers 
written there; 8374.

A single piece of paper is attached to a bulletin board, the one marked

"I'm still waiting to kill you in the arena, General Vile." 

It's signed with a crescent moon, on that opens to the right.

              Late-night TV paid announcement by Mendoza Robotics

     It is common knowledge, that damage and injuries happen when combat
     ensues in the Pits of Tartarus. Many of these injuries aren't the
     type that one wishes to explain to their commanders or medical crew
     regardless of how understanding those teams may be. This is where
     we come in. With a crack staff of roboticists and medics on call,
     Mendoza Robotics and Medical can tend to those needs without shaky
     alibis or questions that many would be uncomfortable answering.

     So when you've injured yourself and know not where to turn for help,
     Just call on us. Mendoze Robotics and Medical. No job is too big,
     or too messy for us. We are your hope, we are your last chance.
     Our work is well worth our prices.

Ninja Pit Fight!                   Fri Aug 27    Hien
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Tartarus News.>

Text Only:

        Last tuesday saw an unscheduled 'ninjafight' taking place between the 
new Tartarus fighter Strider Hien and Shadow Man!

        It was a close fight, with all the flips ninja tricks and sword use 
you'd expect from a battle between such powerful opponents however in the end 
Hien one with a flurry of strikes from his strange sword.

        Or DID he?

        As you would expect, this fight was full of surprises! Once we thought 
it was over, Shadow Man got back up to stab Hien in the back! This was truly 
an amazingly deceptive fight.

        But unfortunately, this was not enough to give the Robot Master the 
victory. In anger, Hien responded by a flurry of powerful and effective blows!

        This hopefully marks the beginning of what is to be an exciting career 
for Strider Hien!

Another Tartarus Pit Fight.        Fri Aug 27    Hien
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<Text Only.>

        Regardless of all the commotion in the world, Tartarus continues to 
fuction. Perhaps in defiance of the chaos washed across the world, or perhaps 
they have no other option but to. However one of the more interesting matches 
today was between Centaur Man, and Strider Hien.

        It was a very close fight. Hien using his skills to rebound of walls to 
counter plasma blasts from Centaur, and Centaur Man taking full advantage of 
his diamond hard hoofs to detter Hien when he came in too close.

        However there can only be one winner. For a moment or two, a double KO 
was suspected, both opponents working themselves into a frenzy of poorly aimed 
yet devestating attacks, however this time Strider Hien found himself on the 
recieving end of a match ending blow, the Robot Master warrior having 
teleported behind him to deliver a skull destroying blow with his hooves. 
Regardless of the damage both recieved, that was it- the fat lady sang and did 
so the tune of the horse! As a prize, the severely damaged Centaur Man took 
Strider Hien's still white yet tattered scarf, but left his lance for Hien in 
return. What a sport!

Tacked to the board in Tartarus is a sheet of typing paper.

"You ever have one of those days that you need to pick a fight? I do. And so 
here I am. Yes, you could say I'm looking for a fight. And yes, I do plan to 
take whoever wants to on. If it changes your perception of the fight, I am but 
a 'squishy', as some people call it."

"So, as some other people say, "Bring it.""

"Thank you for your time."


"DG." (Yes, the period is really there.)
