Thirteen Titles!? Am I lucky or unlucky? Why am I not out of here? Am I not worthy of being a Lord Protector? Is The Commission discriminating against Catholics? Since I now have 36FE, I guess you all will only have to put up with me 14 more months. Can you take it? Who will break through and make it to the top of Telorinthe? I do want to give Morwel credit. Nice challenge! You gave it a great shot! Where are the other heroes wanting to be the very best in Telorinthe? Where have all the flowers gone? I am here. Come and visit me. Get things off your chest. Confession, DMXIII SPY REPORT It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters. Look on my work, ye mighty, and despair! The boys at OLDIES left the arena dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by BAD SIGNS. Good show! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as BAD SIGNS can attest... OLLIS HEROES had cause to celebrate, after YODA got 16 points by beating REVENANT. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 8 points to CUSTODIAN. (Discrete enough, QUITA REMMING?) The arena was more crowded than usual this time, as WASNIS faced TELORINTHE's Duelmaster. CONFESSION successfully staved off a grab for the roses by WASNIS of OLLIS HEROES. Does TELORINTHE have no one talented enough to dethrone it? Word has it one team in TELORINTHE is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life! And how sociable are TELORINTHE's warriors? Come, let us see. Perhaps the warriors of OLLIS HEROES should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... Like a pup with its tail between its legs, BAD SIGNS scurried away from OLLIS HEROES. Oh, the shame! Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and WASNIS is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't OLLIS HEROES proud! Word has it ISHTAR suffered a romantic setback. Note how she challenged PEP RALLY, 29 points hers senior. Soopreyes, soopreyes! ISHTAR emerges from the fray 3 points the richer. Good show, ISHTAR! OUT FOR A DUCK found itself challenged by a warrior 19 below: MELANCHOLIA. MELANCHOLIA of ZEITGEIST kept his wits as he lost to OUT FOR A DUCK. Is there life after death? Pragmatics (and warriors) know there is death after life! Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. All good things must come to an end. More important duties call me. Can anything compare to the pleasure of writing Spyreports for TELORINTHE?

TOA JALLER 183 13 19 0 OLLIS HEROES 27 STEAL HOME 138 35 REVENGED PERSONAL ADS Congrats to Lord Protector Paraldoxia who was drafted to The Big Time in the first round. -- Coach, Oldies Rizzyn -- Thank the gods I won that quickly. I was really afraid you might muss my sweater. -- Letter Sweater Morwel -- Nice try. Please feel free to come to the confessional often. You probably need it. (wink) -- Confession Helga Hoarfrost -- You frosted me and I want to call you that first part of your name, but Coach won't allow it. I don't want to have to run laps and up and down the stadium steps! -- Custodian Revenant -- Thanks for the challenge. Luckily I was ready for you. Defense! Defense! -- Pep Rally Karin Lo -- I hope you had fun cuz I did. -- Draggin' Main Paraldoxia -- It WAS you! Congrats, Buddy. -- Confession Michael -- Those were some nice bonuses and faves on Gushan. Wow! -- Coach (the jealous) Nonsuch House -- You made it! Welcome. May your stay be long and prosperous. -- Coach Kellumbo's Inits -- Not only did I win, but did you hear that crowd?! Most popular! Yeah, now that is what I'm talkin' about! You don't think they were just happy to see such an ugly sign go down, do you? -- Rook Sam Tall -- Bad idea. But who else was I going to challenge? But how many weapons can I lose in one fight? -- Steel Muse Construction Zone -- Somehow, that fight just seemed like I couldn't get moving. I was stuck in slow motion, unable to really step on the gas. I just wanted to gun it and fly over everything, but just couldn't do it. Bummer. -- Whitey D'Eagle Ileosa -- Yeah, that just wasn't a good matchup. Style, experience, whatever. It all worked for you. Nice win. -- Silverback Indiana Jones -- I've heard about you. Perhaps you need to see if the commission will let you use a whip? -- Cornelius Yoda -- Sounds like the beginning of a knock-knock joke, doesn't it? -- Moris Nahr Steel Muse -- An interesting concept. How about if we have dinner together and talk about it? -- Sam Tall Paraldoxia -- Hmm... a plant genus of the family Adoxaceae? -- Quita Remming Draggin' Main -- I hear they're planning on nailing down Main so you can't drag it off again. Seems like there was a certain ammount of trouble last time you did that, something about messing up the sidewalks and gutters. -- Karin Lo Draggin' Main -- Too bad you can't challenge the Venomous Concubine. After all, he's in drag, so it'd be appropriate. -- Orrie Pollas P.S. Maybe now I've killed him, we can get a woman in that role. Our congratulations to Paraldoxia. -- Jorja and the Middle Way 9 February 10 All -- I know you all thought the old Wiz that is Fiz went off to die somewhere. Well, I didn't. Now I'm back to befuddle and frustrate you with my senseless ramblings. I look forward to reconnecting with all my old friends and enemies alike. -- Fizban the Famous LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS MORWEL was devastated by LETTER SWEATER in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge fight.
