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.

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.

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?
