DUX'S HALL OF RECORDS

Hooo-boy!  We have a lot of updates to go through, so let's get right to it!  And don't forget to go to the previous page and see the update from a few days ago.

Fusion's THRAKAZOG cast his fate to the meat grinder in his monster attempt, which nabbed him the third oldest ever dwarf title, knocking AROMA THE UNSAVORY out of the rankings.

DWARF
1. 406 --> MOG (Fusion) 219-187-8 Dwarf - Small Pick (mostly)/Tower Shield
2. 353 --> CHERNOBYL (Fusion) 216-137-2 Dwarf - Military Pick/Tower Shield
3. 321 --> THRAKAZOG (Fusion) 204-117-3 Dwarf - ???
-=Off the List=-
4. 304 --> AROMA THE UNSAVORY (Frank the Tank) 207-97-8 Dwarf - Boarspear *MONSTER
---

THRAKAZOG was APPLE's 6th title defense.  What was THRAKAZOG's weapon?

301 --> APPLE NEWTON (Vic Vegas) 190-111-15 Dwarf - Javelin -- Turn#888
- KILT PIN (Cam) (122-61-9)*                  3 KILL!

- THRAKAZOG (Fusion) (204-117-3)*                 2 KILL!

Fusion's SKIPPY was successful in his monster attempt, granting Fusion his second monster as he enters the Managers With Most Monsters ranking at #10, after putting Sleazee's THE NEEDLE LIES in a pine box.

While researching SKIPPY, I realized that he made more than one ranking in his lifetime, but it slipped my notice.  Here's one that I didn't overlook, as SKIPPY just achieved it.  #3 on the oldest helf list.

HALF-ELF
1. 281 --> MUMM-RA (Eye Of Thundera) 162-119-4 Half-Elf - Bastard Sword
2. 274 --> NAG RAZOR (Modofo) 168-106-3 Half-Elf - Bastard Sword
3. 273 --> SKIPPY (Fusion) 196-77-10 Half-Elf - Trident *MONSTER
-=Off the List=-
4. 242 --> GINA GUNZ (Poppa Balrog) 128-114-2 Half-Elf - Boar spear
---

SKIPPY also hit the #3 best 200 fight elf!

Best Half-Elf 200 Win/Loss Record [1-3 points]
1. RATYR (MJ) 156-44-6 Half-Elf - Great sword (-1) *TOURNAMENT CHAMPION & *MONSTER
2. LICKER (Fusion) 150-50-6 Half-Elf - Pole axe
3. SKIPPY (Fusion) 146-54-7 Half-Elf - Trident
-=Off the List=-
4. PULSE (Dux Mortalitas) 143-57-5 Half-Elf - Trident
---

And last but not least, SKIPPY also made the all-time best 250 fight gladiator list.

250 Fight Best Win/Loss Record [5-9 points]
1. GONE FISSION (Fusion) 192-58-4 Dwarf - Military pick *MONSTER
2. SEE JANE STAB (Modofo) (186-64-7) Dwarf - Javelin/Tower (-1)
3. MISERY (Dux Mortalitas) 186-64-6 Half-Orc - Great pick (-8) *TOURNAMENT CHAMPION & *MONSTER
==> 4. SKIPPY (Fusion) 181-69-8 Half-Elf - Trident *MONSTER
5. TIBOR (Fusion) 175-75-5 Halfling - Javelin (-1 +1 = 0)

-=Off the List=-
5. PLAYER TWO (Frank the Tank) 170-80-11 Dwarf - Trident (-2) (-1 ED-K)
---

Naturally, all this monster making and list breaking puts SKIPPY in the Top 20 Achievers list, in addition to APPLE NEWTON's additional point, without change in ranking.  Jumping in at a respectable 12th best as SKIPPY knocks another of Fusion's brutal helf gladiators off the list.

In the last two turns, we've had 2 monsters defend their slots from challengers.  On turn 1048, to no one's surprise, Dux's OFFSPRING had her 14th defense versus Palor's COAL.

219 --> OFFSPRING (Dux Mortalitas) 159-60-9 - Half-Elf - Boar spear *UNDEFEATED WARRIOR *KARMA KILLER -- Turn#798

This week on turn 1049, Gern's PILTDOWN MAN had his first successful slot defense versus Sleazee's SILENT VIOLENCE.

228 --> PILTDOWN MAN (Gern Blansten) 162-66-2 - Dwarf - Warflail/Towershield -- Turn #976

Boarspears and Warflail's high for Dux's OFFSPRING and Gern's PILTDOWN MAN!

Lelu Dallas' feisty halfling ENHEDUANA made her bid for glory and provided APPLE NEWTON with his 7th monster slot defense.

APPLE has now pulled ahead of his three-way tie for third place and has put Sleazee's TOTAL TRAUMA and Dux's RAY OF LIGHT in a tied position for fourth place in number of monster slot defenses with 6 each.  Only LORD DARIUS and OFFSPRING have had more monster slot defenses.

255 --> *TOTAL TRAUMA (Sleazee P. Martinee) 153-102-2 Human - Boar spear, Towershield, Boar spear -- Turn#488-703

APPLE gains a metric point and is now tied, but ranked behind Modofo's wicked dwarf OL' FIREBELLY.

10. 34 - GONE FISSION (Fusion) 193-59-5 - Dwarf - Military pick

Javelins high for Lelu's ENHEDUANA and APPLE NEWTON.  I'm sure the fight thrilled the arena audience.

Modofo's SEE JANE STAB and Gern's PILTDOWN MAN both had monster slot defenses this week and both put down their foes.

SEE JANE STAB had a four minute struggle, but ultimately came out on top versus Sleazee's TIME TO HERO UP! the former top halfling in the arena.

258 --> SEE JANE STAB (Modofo) 193-65-8 Dwarf - Javelin/Tower Shield -- Turn#934
- RED CARPET GRAVE (Sanguine Savior) (90-65-3)*            2 KILL!
- BLUE BELLY WIZARD (Nads) (93-67-3)*             5 KILL!
- THE DWARVEN DEFENDER (Nads) (80-69-6)*          2 KILL!
- FOUR-LETTER LUCK (Modofo) (101-70-2)*          3 KILL!
- TIME TO HERO UP! (Sleazee P Martinee) (168-115-6)*          4 KILL!

PILTDOWN MAN put down Samurai!!11's PERRY CARDIAL in what appears to be a habit forming 2 minutes.

228 --> PILTDOWN MAN (Gern Blansten) 162-66-2 - Dwarf - Warflail/Towershield -- Turn #976
- SILENT VIOLENCE (Sleazee P Martinee) (72-70-1)*             2 KILL!
- PERRY CARDIAL (Samurai!!11) (79-57-3)*              2 KILL!

As a result of SEE JANE STAB's victory, she gains a metric point and is now tied with OFFSPRING at 50 points, but due to being older, she is ranked just beneath.  Now it is a race between OFFSPRING and SEE JANE STAB to see who defends their monster slot next and breaks their warrior metric point tie!

Javelins and War Flails and Tower Shields high for SEE JANE STAB and PILTDOWN MAN, two of our current crop of monstrous Monsters!

We have a new half-orc 2nd place 100 fight record this week as Modofo's CLOBBERKNOCKER knocks Dux's PITT from the rankings.

Best Half-Orc 100 Win/Loss Record [1-3 points]
1. JAYNE (Fusion) (87-13-2) Half-Orc - War Flail

4. PITT (Dux Mortalitas) 81-19-8 Half-Orc - Tower shields (-3 +3 =0  adjusted for 2 Reverse Elbow-drops)

It seems the murderous horcs of old are being replaced by modern day pacifists.  The barrier to get into the top three 100 fight horc category has just gotten a little harder.

Morningstars high for Modofo's horc CLOBBERKNOCKER!

A rather big day in the Arena this week as MOONSHINE SOONMINE had his fourth successful but most challenging monster slot defense versus Palor's hard-hitting, perm-delivering, pole-axe helf BERRY in a 3 minute slobberknocker.

258 --> MOONSHINE SOONMINE (Modofo) 160-98-3 Halfling - Javelin -- Turn#888

Last and certainly not least, Vic Vegas' REPLACEMENT BO put down MODOFO's training wunderkind, beast of a monster SEE JANE STAB.  I guess it takes one super-trainer to defeat another.  More details on RB's amazing mojo in his forthcoming write-up.

274 --> REPLACEMENT BO (Vic Vegas) 157-117-4 Halfling Stilettoeer -- Turn#1059

Now the arena has two fur-footed, and three Ultimate Gladiator monsters (25-25-25-25 str-dex-con-int).  Wow!  RB is the fourth halfling to become a monster and this is the only time there's been two simultaneous halfling monsters. (Pssst... it has been 120 weeks since we've had a horc monster.)

The manager rankings did not change, and Dux is still well ahead of the pack in monster creation.

Stilettos and javelins high for MOONSHINE SOONMINE's slot defense and our new halfling stilettoeer monster REPLACEMENT BO.

The Ghost of Dux spotted an error in my record keeping, which has now been fixed.  Glad I held that seance last night.

I had accidentally overlooked MISERY's (-8) and ranked SKIPPY beneath him.  Apologies to Fusion and SKIPPY.  Then I noticed that SEE JANE STAB didn't have the *MONSTER tag, so it was applied.

This changes the warrior metric rankings a smidge.

OFFSPRING now has a showstopping 15 slot defenses!  It seems unlikely that any monster will ever catch up to her!

Boar spears high for Dux's monster, the Monster OFFSPRING!

Modofo's indefatigable human-monster hybrid BIGGO put down Samurai!!11's brute horc SOUP OR FISH ALL on turn 1069 to keep his monster slot.

Warflails high for BIGGO on his fourth monster slot defense!

We have a new third best human at 150 fights as Vic Vegas' FINISHER makes it a whole lot harder to set a new human record at that level.  She pulled an extraordinary 44-6-1 since hitting 100 fights.

Best Human 150 Win/Loss Record [1-3 points]
1. *LORD DARIUS (The Overlord) 115-35-14 Human - Maul *MONSTER

Modofo's MOONSHINE SOONMINE defended his monster slot against... Modofo's PICKLED PRETTY in what was surely a thrilling three minute match.

258 --> MOONSHINE SOONMINE (Modofo) 160-98-3 Halfling - Javelin -- Turn#888
- ACCURSED (Cam) (121-78-9)*                  2 KILL!
- PRIDE COMETH (Modofo) (162-92-9)*              2 KILL!
- LEECHES (Gern Blansten) (94-45-1)*                      2 KILL!
- BERRY (Palor) (119-95-7)*                      3 KILL!
- PICKLED PRETTY (Modofo) (112-81-3)*            3 KILL!

40% of MOONSHINE SOONMINE's monster slot defenses have been against Modofo's own gladiators.  That's a bittersweet matchup to read.  

Javelins high for MOONSHINE SOONMINE on his fifth successful monster slot defense!

Moonshine Soonmine has fought and killed two of his own stablemates?! To me, that is a badge of merit. Modofo is a great manager to be sure!
There can't be many managers who've fought their own monster. Would be fun to keep that stat somewhere.

WARWICK DAVIS should be on his list too, correct?

Dux got me thinking about monster defenses, so I did some quick adding and offer the following for perusal:


MONSTER DEFENSES BY MANAGER (Top 5 positions)
1. DUX MORTALITAS  30
2. MODOFO  15
3. VIC VEGAS  10
     THE OVERLORD  10
4. FRANK THE TANK  9
5. SLEAZEE P. MARTINEE  6

Dux dominates here as expected!


MONSTER DEFENSES BY WARRIOR (Top 5 positions)
1. OFFSPRING (Dux Mortalitas)  15
2. LORD DARIUS (The Overlord)  10
3. APPLE NEWTON (Vic Vegas)  7
4. TOTAL TRAUMA (Sleazee P. Martinee)  6
     RAY OF LIGHT (Dux Mortalitas)  6
     MOONSHINE SOONMINE (Modofo)  6
5. SEE JANE STAB (Modofo)  5

Apple Newton is in third place already! A beast arises...

WARWICK DAVIS added to the list!  Samurai!!11's warrior gave MOONSHINE SOONMINE his longest defense yet!

Fusion's unflappable half-orc JAYNE continues his dominance in the pit as he handily grabs the #1 spot in the top 200 fight horc rankings, showing that he doesn't need any grenades after all.

Best Half-Orc 200 Win/Loss Record [1-3 points]
1. JAYNE (Fusion) 149-51-3 Half-Orc - War-Flail
2. MISERY (Dux Mortalitas) 146-54-5 Half-Orc - Great pick (-3) *TOURNAMENT CHAMPION & *MONSTER

-=Off The List=-
4. ELFKILLER (Dux Mortalitas) 135-65-6 Half-Orc - Military pick (-4)

As a result of being knocked to second place, MISERY loses a metric point, but maintains his 7th ranking in the Warrior Metric.

______MASTERS______
5. 48 - *LORD DARIUS (The Overlord) 246-74-15 Human - Boar spear, Tower shield, Boar spear

War-flails high for Fusion's mighty horc JAYNE, a living legend!

We've got two new horc records this week.  First off was Vic Vegas' SPINNER OF SORROW's second place ranking in the top 150 fight horc category.

Best Half-Orc 150 Win/Loss Record [1-3 points]
1. JAYNE (Fusion) 122-28-3 Half-Orc - War Flail
2. SPINNER OF SORROW (Vic Vegas) 111-39-10 Half-Orc - Morningstar
3. COMEUPPANCE (Modofo) 108-42-6 Half-Orc - War flail/Tower shield
-=Off the List=-
4. IMMOVABLE OBJECT (Vic Vegas) 107-43-5 Half-Orc - Battle Flail

Aaaaand SoS knocks one of his stablemates out of the rankings.
---

Just when you thought the dust had settled, IMMOVABLE OBJECT comes along and is the new third best horc at 200 fights, making up for being knocked off the 150 fight rankings.

Best Half-Orc 200 Win/Loss Record [1-3 points]
1. JAYNE (Fusion) 149-51-3 Half-Orc - War Flail
2. MISERY (Dux Mortalitas) 146-54-5 Half-Orc - Great pick (-3) *TOURNAMENT CHAMPION & *MONSTER
3. IMMOVABLE OBJECT (Vic Vegas) 141-59-6 Half-Orc - Battle Flail
-=Off the List=-
4. SLOBGOBLIN (Fusion) 132-68-2 Half-Orc - War Flail/Target Shield

Now the 200 fight horc champions have a new kill leader (as do the 150 fight horcs!) in addition to the highest number of losses only numbering in the 50s now.

Battle Flails and Morningstars high for our new horc title holders!

Hold on to your javelins.  We have a new Monster as Modofo's GYPPED BY PEDIGREE put down... [check's notes]... Modofo's MOONSHINE SOONMINE.  

273 --> GYPPED BY PEDIGREE (Modofo) 159-114-2 Half-Elf - Javelin/Javelin -- Turn #1074

In what is sure to be a long and fruitful career, GBP reduced the number of halfling monsters to 1 while making half-elves the dominant Monster race with a total of 3!

258 --> MOONSHINE SOONMINE (Modofo) 160-98-3 Halfling - Javelin -- Turn#888-1074
(Defeated by GYPPED BY PEDIGREE)
- ACCURSED (Cam) (121-78-9)*                  2 KILL!
- PRIDE COMETH (Modofo) (162-92-9)*              2 KILL!
- LEECHES (Gern Blansten) (94-45-1)*                      2 KILL!
- BERRY (Palor) (119-95-7)*                      3 KILL!
- WARWICK DAVIS (Samurai!!11) (102-57-5)*             4 KILL!
- PICKLED PRETTY (Modofo) (112-81-3)*            3 KILL!

Tantalizingly close to 200 turns as a monster, MOONSHINE SOONMINE holds the Pit record for longest, continuous drinking binge.  He didn't let a fight stop him from drinking, either.  His drunken fighting style saw him pull out a murder at the last second, time and time again.  

With this slaughter of his former gladiator, Modofo has moved up in the rankings from 6th to 4th place, right behind the legendary Frank The Tank.

MANAGERS WITH MOST MONSTERS (Ties are broken by comparison of warriors number of fights - the less the better)

Now there is but one Monster remaining from the Monster Contest, held on turn 888.

Javelins high for your new Monster, Modofo's beastly half-elf GYPPED BY PEDIGREE!

Literally, some of the biggest news in a long time as Furious Talon's A POUND OF CURE ties for first place in the 50 fight Bigger Than A Barn category.

50 fight BIGGER THAN A BARN [1-3 points]
1. NEUTRON (Palor) 42-8-2 Dwarf - Javelin
1. A POUND OF CURE (Furious Talon) 42-8-2 Half-Orc - Morningstar
2. MOUNTAIN (Palor) 42-8-4 Half-Orc - Bladed Flail (-5) (-1 E-DK)
3. NAPOLEON BORNABARN (Modofo) 39-11-1 human - Flail

This is huge!  Getting such a large hunk of gladiator to perform at this level is an enormous accomplishment.

Morningstars way high for A POUND OF CURE our second #1 Bigger Than A Barn gladiator at 50 fights!

Great news! Vic, it seems to be that NAPOLEON BORNABARN should be ranked above MOUNTAIN on the list based on the elbow-drops. You might take a look at that.

Whoops! Thank you ghost of Dux!

50 fight BIGGER THAN A BARN [1-3 points]

PAIN drops a metric point to 20, remaining in 20th place.

Longswords high for LOST-WAX, your new #2 elf at 250 fights!

Better late with the news than never!  

On turn 1049 YQUOG hit 250 fights and is now the #2 horc at that fight level.

Best Half-Orc 250 Win/Loss Record [1-3 points]
1. MISERY (Dux Mortalitas) 186-64-6 Half-Orc - Great pick (-8) *TOURNAMENT CHAMPION & *MONSTER
2. YQUOG (Master of War) (133-117-6) (-4) Half-Orc - Great axe/Target Shield
3.

This is quite the achievement, something that's been done with the aid of peasant competition in team fights, but very rarely in singles matches.

Good luck holding your great axes high in celebration of Master of War's YQUOG and his new found fame and fortune.

P.S. If you know of a horc that qualifies for this ranking, please let me know!  It would be great to close out this category.
