                             Notes from the arena champ.

     In certain religious teachings, the Sacrament of Penance is the method used by
the Church by which individual men and women may confess sins committed after baptism
and have them absolved by a priest.  This sacrament is known by many names, including
enance, reconciliation, and confession.  While official Church publications always
refer to the sacrament as "Penance", "Reconciliation," or "Penance and
Reconciliation," many laypeople continue to use the term "confession" in reference to
the sacrament.
    So come one, come all.  I want to hear your transgressions.  Often this is more
enjoyable than watching reruns or renting DVDs--especially with the movies they make
nowadays.  Don't worry; I won't run out of penance to offer.  Life is good.
          Confession DMXI

                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in 
TELORINTHE.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  
Hey everybody, watch out for YODA, who flew up 22 points in the rankings after 
mashing MELANCHOLIA like a melon.  Keep your eye on this guy.  And falling like a 
basher in the top ten was MELANCHOLIA, who dropped 10 points after a disappointing 
(to say the least) bout with YODA.  Well, everybody's pal CONFESSION moved its record 
to 31-4-1 by defeating RIZZYN in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 5 
recognition points.  Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this 
stuff?   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid ZEITGEIST, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does TELORINTHE really have that many 
liars?  For those of you who like math, try this one:  ZEITGEIST + Weapons That go 
Boom = DEATH'S CHOSEN + Avoid City.  Well just about everybody wants a piece of PEP 
RALLY, who was this week's most challenged warrior.  Can any one out there say 
'weasel'?  Oh well, just saying GUSHAN will do.  He challenged 17 points down to 
trash DRAGGIN' MAIN.  Definition of petty:  GUSHAN subdued DRAGGIN' MAIN, a mismatch 
of 17 points.  In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, WASNIS went after 
CUSTODIAN, who was higher by 25 points.  Well, when the dust settled, WASNIS bested 
CUSTODIAN.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Carrion Bird Cinematic Humor:  TOA JALLER 
II:  THE REMATCH.  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the 
arena with you and see what happens.   
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in TELORINTHE have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  See ya 
next time I'm on this circuit!-- The Unknown Spymaster

Helga -- If y'll needed some clothing to keep you warm, I'da been glad to help.  Jest
not the Letter Sweater.  Nope.  Noaways. -- Coach

Paraldoxia -- You must be my soulmate.  If we had never met, you would be 12-10-0
instead of 12-21-0. -- Confession

Kung-Fu Master -- I wiped the floor with you! -- Custodian

     But did you have to use such harsh, abrasive cleaners?

Steal Home -- Whew, I was worried there!  I thought you were trying to steal my
hubcaps, too.  But I caught you in the end, eh? -- Draggin' main

Orrie Pollas -- You pepped, I rallied.  Luckily, I won.  Rah; rah; sis, boom, bah! --
Pep Rally

Ollis Heroes -- Congrats on your 40 big points.  Wow!  I'm avoiding! -- Coach

Nonsuch House -- Great run you've got going there at 12-3-1!  Jeez!  Do I have to
avoid EVERYBODY?! -- Coach

Arenamaster Salgreid -- Now, I'da never try ta insult you, boy.  Y'all already got
yer own prollems when yer daddy gave ya that name.  Yessir. -- Coach

     It came from my mother's side of the family, and it's a normal, respectable
     Rirorni name.  Of course, there were problems when I was living with my father's
     orcish kin, until I got big enough to put my point across. -- Salgreid

Congratulations to Gushan, a very worthy Lord protector.  Kudos! -- All Us Oldies

Kellumbo's inits -- Now that was a Bad Sign!!  And welcome back, it is nice to have
some competition in the inits. -- Cornelius

Telorinthe -- Glad to see you folks are awake and writing!  Perhaps another spotlight
will be forthcoming.  So much time between turns, I should have time to write... --
Dimetreas and Nonsuch House

Construction Zone -- Ah yes, the dreaded orange.  It can seem long and dull on the
road.  Long and dull in the arena as well.  Nice endurance, but sadly for you, not
enough. -- Rook

Toa Jaller -- That practically sounds like a name for one of us, and your record
looks like something we'd pull, too.  It's a shock. -- Quita Remming
P.S.  But at least you aren't Cyclidia.

Wasnis -- Did you realize that your name spelled backward is Sinsaw?  This could be a
piece of critical information. -- Karin Lo

Pep Rally -- Jumping around in the snow with a wind chill of minus twenty-four is
just ASKING for trouble.  Especially dressed that way. -- Orrie Pollas, not peppy,
unrallied

The Ambitious Guard was tough, but he made the mistake of pausing in the second
minute to pose for a woman in the stands.  After that, it was all my way. -- Sam Tall

     What can I say?  He's vain as well as ambitious. -- Salgreid

Yoda -- Sounds like the beginning of a knock-knock joke.  I never did care for those.
-- Moris Nahr

Pep Rally -- No.  Bare knees in this weather?  Not a chance. -- Karin Lo

The Oldies -- What spots?  Do we have measles again? -- the Middle Way

Our congratulations to Gushan. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
