It's your Director of Fun here, Wink Vavasseur, popping in with a quick update on the "12 Large: Summit" round-robin
tournament that starts this weekend in Easton: Amasis has been injured and is forced to take himself out of the
competition. I'm sure you all had the same concern that I did upon hearing this news, so I went ahead and did some
follow-up research. As it turns out, Amasis is the guy from the Osirian Portal. I've actually met him several times
and "Amasis" is his name; I'm not even sure what I've been calling him, but it sure wasn't that! Oh, also, he'll be
fine by next year, I'm pretty sure. He will, however, miss out on the tournament.

Of course, now this leaves an open spot to be filled. Had the tournament already started, his 5 opponents in Block A would
all automatically collect points for those forfeit wins. But since the tournament does not start for a few more days,
I think it's reasonable to substitute a different wrestler in his place. I think the only fair thing to do is to swap him
out for another one of the Osirians.
On the one hand, you've got Hieracon, the birdman himself, Jonathan Gresham - risen like a
phoenix (which is another kind of bird, albeit a mythical one), a man with something to prove. He sports a solid
physique, and a charming smile. You gotta hand it to the guy - he's been really quite impressive since I introduced him
to those other two fellows. I see big things in his future.
And on the other hand, we have Ophidian, which I found out is the name of the guy with the snake-face. He's
the vaguely dirty one with a sibilance problem. Two eligible competitors, but
only one shall replace the "Funky Pharaoh." The wrestlers had their say, so now it is your turn, grapple fans. I will
have a poll posted up on the official fan message board for you to voice your opinion! You've got just 5 days to cast
your vote. It's kind of like a primary of the Portal Party, choosing a candidate to replace the incumbent Amasis.
So, head on over to the Forums at CHIKARA101.com and exercise your rights!
The choice is yours, CHIKARA SOLDIERS: Hieracon or ol' Snakeface.
