Challenge for the Tower of Water

[XanthVanBokkelen]

To the Coordinator and the dueling community at large:

I see I have been arrogantly volunteered for
the upcoming ArchMage Tournament. One more insult in
the constant barrage of humiliations I have been forced
to suffer at the hands of this cartoonish parade of
mortal mayhem better known as the dueling community of
Twilight Isle. Let it be known that Xanth Van Bokkelen
makes his own decisions, and has his sights set on a
higher acheivement than just that of ArchMage.

In a world of fairies, unicorns, and frozen
drink dispensing felines who insist upon placing the
letter 's' at the end of every word that comes out of
their mouth, it is only right and natural that I,
Xanth Van Bokklen, The Terror of Drenthe, and the
Scourge of Emmen, should set a new and historic
standard in magical aptitude that will be marveled at
for generations. I intend to become the first Mage to
hold all five towers on this ridiculous Isle.

Therefore, I challenge Rand al'Tan for the
right to hold the Tower of Water.

Discipline, sacrifice, and perseverance have
led me to this juncture, and I will take full
advantage of this oppurtunity once our impending
battle is engaged.

Sincerely,
Xanth Van Bokkelen

Dear Xanth,

You're behind the times. I don't do that anymore. I hope Rand dunks you. Nyeah.

Misty.

Indeed, Water is the only tower Xanth has not held. This challenge is valid and may proceed.

Also, regarding the volunteering you made mention of... Rest assured that I have not taken them seriously. You are not pre-registered for a tournament unless you post it yourself.

[Rand alTan]

Xanth, I look forward to our challenge. Let's discuss the details, shall we?

[XanthVanBokkelen]

The time and date for this historic event will be December 4 at 10 (EST).
If there is a caller who is willing to volunteer for this impending challenge, their efforts would be appreciated.

[Rand alTan]

My sincere apologies to those that came looking for a challenge. I was pulled to another realm and was unable to make it back. I am working with Mr. Xanth to reschedule at his convenience.

(( Sorry! ))

[XanthVanBokkelen]

The challenge has been rescheduled for this Sunday (12/11) at 10 (EST). If a caller is available, their efforts would be appreciated.

I'll totally take this if no one else has! Xan the Man versus Randyman has SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS!

I approve this message! Who doesn't love Lily?

[Rand alTan]

Good match Xanth. Congratulations on being a magic All Title holder.

[DUEL Apple]

Sorry for all the delay!

Lily, with baked cookies and all, came to call this battle of epic magicness! But there seemed to be a little problem during the first match and she disappeared! Now, with a little pressure, I was brought to task to take on calling the challenge myself.. and boy - I was nervous! But how could I deny two strong duelists?!

So here's the results! I sure as hell felt the intensity when power and technique collided!

There you have it! After three strong matches it was Xanth who came out on top! I hear this was the last tower he needed to become the first All Title Holder! He deserves the praise and cheers that all of you can offer!

Grats, Xanth! And well tried, Rand!
