I manage Cartoon Network in Chimlevtal (31) and like my father, Master Darque has already proclaimed, I manage NFL Network here. To tell you more about myself my favorite NFL team is... drum roll, please....... The Carolina Panthers! My favorite NBA team is not the Charlotte Hornets, it is the Golden State Warriors. As you can see I like a lot of sports. Keeping the sports theme, my favorite NCAAF is not Alabama, not Georgia, not WVU (though my mother likes them) it is the Clemson Tigers! Moving on to Baseball, it's the Boston Red Sox. Books, books, books, they are another hobby of mine. Here are my top 10: #10 The Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling #9 The Enchantress Returns by Chris Colfer #8 Midnight for Charlie Bone by Jenny Nimmo #7 Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan #6 The Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling #5 Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret B Weis and Tracy Hickman #4 The Player King by Avi #3 The Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling #2 The Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling #1 The Bible by men, inspired by God. As you can see J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter make up most of most of my top 10 favorite books. This is Channel Master, signing off. SPY REPORT Hello! Hello! Hello! I did a good enough job last turn that I was invited back again! It is so exciting! Welcome back to Telorinthe. This is the only slow no tourney arena in the land. Welcome back to the sands. We had an exciting, oops, I've said exciting already. We had a THRILLING turn, that's it, for turn 148! I will get right into it because I also want to post a list of teams and managers for the whole arena. Nike really did not have any competition for the throne this turn. The closest warriors to him are his teammates, but you can't fight them! With Crip going into winter hibernation and no returning teams, Nike is left to fight one of the arena stand-by warriors. M. Chardinee drew the lucky or unlucky straw depending on how you look at it! Nike fought and won in a quick 1-minute match! Congrats to Nike. Savant introduced himself in the personal ads (A BIG THANK YOU), so we know he manages Wetworks and our Duelmaster Nike. Nike also got some big news in that he is graduating from the regular arena. For those that do not know, the Commission requires at least 20 arena fights with 14 wins before a warrior will receive a graduation notice. The warriors also need to be skilled enough in key areas, usually 3 experts or an Advanced Expert plus an expert is enough. You also need political points, which are gained from being ranked in the Challenger Champions. You also receive political points for becoming Duelmaster. The most avoided team was Conjure Up the Sun. They were the most avoided by NFL Network. The most challenged warrior was Red Death from The Dragons. Even though Red Death got the most challenges, it was Red Death who challenged J.J. Watt of NFL Network. I guess NFL Network was too busy avoiding Conjure Up the Sun to notice Red Death! Red Death was bested by J.J. Watt in an exciting, um... thrilling... no, a spectacular 3-minute fight! There was so much blood on the sands this turn that I think the Arenamaster is going to sell some of it to the Sunset arena. My mentor is squinting at me, meaning she doesn't think you will get that reference, but I have faith in you! Mr. Floyd is here, he can explain it if no one gets it. I know you guys and girls to be a helpful lot! I saw you explaining "AA team" to Savant. There were 5 deaths this turn as House of Fur lost 3 warriors. Two of them were in the Dark Arena, but Gracie fell from a challenge she posted to Ice Man. Skyler appears to be an unlucky name for The Dragons. Borys of Sorcerer Kings killed Skyler (the second) in a 22-minute fight! Wowzers that is a long time! Death Dealer of The Ferocious Five was killed by Wyan, also of Sorcerer Kings. This fight was much shorter but no less deadly at 2 minutes. The Dragons and The Ferocious Five settled a bloodfeud this turn. Sky bloodfeuded Maniac Mauler to bring honor for the death Skyler (the first). Sky was successful! Time for me to go, but as promised, I want to give a list of all the managers and teams currently listed in the arena newsletter: Bad Signs -- Crip Conjure the Sun -- Weirdo The Dragons -- Dragon Master Endless -- Disciple The Ferocious Five -- Killer House of Fur -- Queen Artemis Kame House -- Floyd NFL Network -- Channel Master Scorpio Likes: -- Scorpio Sorcerer Kings -- Master Darque Wetworks -- Savant I hope to see each of you back next turn!

It was your first time? Was it awkward and weird for you, too? -- Weirdo, mgr Conjure Up the Sun Scribe -- New blood has arrived in Telorinthe. I do believe a reposting of our most sacred rules, outlined in the No-Tourney Arena Pledge, is in order. Without rule of law we would be no different than the savages in regular arenas. After all, this is a civilized arena (except for Disciple, but he only counts as three-fifths of a manager). -- Weirdo See below. Savant -- In case you didn't get an answer... The AA is the Allied Axis. It's just an alliance of a few players. They are not well liked mainly due to one of their loudmouthed members known as Den. He runs all the Big Lake this and Big Lake that teams. Don't worry, I'm sure he is financially tapped out and couldn't possibly afford to run a team here in Telorinthe. -- Weirdo Cam Newton -- I'm out of your league, son. -- Heat Wave P.S. Don't strap TWO Short Spears to your back. You could poke both your eyes out! Faeterna -- Shiny. -- Stoned Troll Whirled -- I'm surprised you can count that high. -- Stoned Troll Behemoth -- The bigger they are... -- Eclipse Ori Starbloom -- Congratulations on your post. -- Savant, mgr Wetworks Wayjourner -- Trust me I have. -- Archive T.F.F. -- I'm usually not so violent. -- Archive Conjure the Sun -- Pretty weak move to challenge a new team's 0-1 warrior with your 4-2-1 guy up in the Challenger Inits. Good to see you took the loss for your troubles. It's always nice to know what kind of people you're plaing with. -- Floyd, mgr Kame House ***---------*---------*---------*---------**---------*---------*---------*---------*** PLEDGE FOR THE NO-TOURNAMENT ARENAS (DM 81, 83, and 20) * I pledge that I will not send warriors from this arena to a Tournament, nor will I use a Tournament prize on a warrior from this arena. * I pledge to run a full team when I run turns in this arena.
