SPY REPORT
Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in TELORINTHE this turn, and let's
start with a look at some of the teams. It seems the training can make the
difference, as BAD SIGNS is pushed out of top team by INVIDIOTS, who came from 3rd
with a 4-1-0 this turn. Now keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are
sorrows to drown for ZEITGEIST, whose 0-5-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 6th.
The OLDIES guild has had a 4-1-0 turn and deserves to be watched in the future. You
never know where this kind of thing can lead. And let's see, ROFLMAO fought HELGA
HOARFROST and gained 25 points and contributed to ACRONYMS' 2-3-0. HELGA HOARFROST
has lost to ROFLMAO, falling 23 points, while helping make ZEITGEIST a 0-5-0 turn.
We should ask CONFESSION about the thrill of victory, and what being the new
Duelmaster does for a warrior, it's now the one to ask. Tell me, is nothing sacred?
I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Welcome Wench uses trolls in their
stew. Talk about gristle!
The crowd's roar, the smell of iron and leather, mixed with sweat, what more
could a warrior ask of life? Well, besides that. ZEITGEIST has cause to stand tall,
as they were TELORINTHE's most avoided team. A smart manager knows this is a team to
beat. And avoiding ZEITGEIST more than any other team we find DEATH'S CHOSEN.
TELORINTHE, are we going to accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most
challenged warrior this turn was DEATH'S CHOSEN's warrior MORWEL. More fighters
challenged her than challenged the Duelmaster! In a brave attempt, DRAGGIN' MAIN
from OLDIES challenged up 19 points to fight RIZZYN from the DEATH'S CHOSEN stable.
DRAGGIN' MAIN perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he defeated RIZZYN and ended
up with 72 recognition points.
The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed. QUADRUPLE BOGEY has departed
TELORINTHE, leaving BAD SIGNS without their 5-3-0 warrior. Question, just what was
its team doing at the taverns last night? Whatever bright future WYSIWYG may have
had, it's all history now. The manager of ACRONYMS has lost a promising 5-2-0
warrior. A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or
hide when the fight is over. Consider well.
Thought for the day, a new sword shines bright, but the notched sword sings the
sweetest. Well, I'm burning daylight here in TELORINTHE and I've a long road ahead
of me. Happy Trails. Until you see my quill in TELORINTHE again, farewell-- Alarond

PERSONAL ADS
0-5?! An opher?! Oh, boy! There goes that contract extension. -- Coach
Morwel -- I had plenty of pep, but no rally. Good challenge, nice win. -- Pep Rally
P.S. You jerk! I don't wear skirts; only hot pants.
Lotus-Eater -- Couldn't seem to get the car to start. You made me look like a buggy.
Salute. -- Draggin' Main
Gossipid -- You did that well. Daydream Believer would be proud. But say a few Hail
Mary's anyway. -- Confession
Revenant -- Wham! Bam! I was ripped to shreds! -- Letter Sweater
Quadruple Bogey -- Yeah, but I took a nine. You cleaned my green. -- Custodian
You wouldn't want it dirty, would you?
A salute to Duelmaster Gossipid. Well done! -- Coach and The Oldies
Oldies -- Quite the turn. Any more like that and Coach may start rolling around in
his grave. -- Dark Oracle, mgr of Bad Signs
Confession -- Careful about what you say, I might have to see if my light fingers can
pilfer from your collection plate. -- Steal Home
Iitywtmwybmad -- Looking solid, while I'm more of a soft biological mass. BTW,
what's the end of your acronym? If you told me what it meant, I might buy you
something sparkly? -- Lump
Michael Eldritch -- Yes, sorry to see the incredible shrinking arena. -- Dark Oracle
Rizzyn -- I must say I am amused by your feints as you try to get a lead on me. --
Steal Home
Bogof -- If I take one of your weapons, do I get the other one for free? -- Lump
Michael Eldritch -- I agree, this arena needs more blood to survive... Do no others
want the option of a "pure" basic arena, without the taint of hidden FE, sandbaggers
et al? -- Spawn
It's a good question, but hard to answer. Maybe it's the slow speed of this
arena, or the bar to moving in tourney-free teams from elsewhere? Maybe it's
not even having the option of tourney play, whether you are likely to use it or
not. Let's think about this and ask around. Maybe we can fix it.
Wasnis -- I think you were just toying with me... Well won but thanks for the tips!
-- WYSIWYG
Ileosa -- Best 3 from 5?? I feel we'll meet again... -- ROFLMAO
Yoda -- Nice challenge... You do seem to slip around much like your namesake! --
IITYWTMWYBMAD
Melancholia -- Don't know why you looked so glum, you must have enjoyed that! --
GOOML
Some people are never satisfied.
Lump -- A bad sign indeed for me... Gimme a while and I hope to do better! -- BOGOF
Gossipid -- Well done at staying on TOP! But rumor has it, and we all know that if
the shadows could talk, that a couple of promising developments are heading your way.
Good luck. -- Azaziel
Michael -- If you don't stop feedin, we'll run out of teams! Why don't you use your
contact to lure NEW TEAMS TO THIS ARENA? -- The Dark Angel Azaziel
Genericky -- I think I like this weapon. See ya around. -- Gushan
Vodi -- I'm looking for a comeback, so thanks for the help. -- Cyclidia
Prins Rikard -- With learns like that, I'd chalk that loss as a win any day! --
Paraldoxia
Ishtar -- You are NOT supposed to be tangling with us Chosen! I do appreciate the
learns though. -- Helga Hoarfrost
Gooml -- Whooppee, I'm 50 percent again. -- Melancholia
All -- Wow! SEVEN TEAMS?! Nineteen total fights! Spread the word. Heck, offer
them a cookie or something. *wry grin* -- Michael Eldritch
What kind of cookie? This would make a difference.
