                                    TEAM SPOTLIGHT

     Hello everyone, this's only my third turn in this beautiful arena of Telorinthe! 
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!  Thank you to everyone for the personal ads, 
introductions, and overall activity in this arena!

Ori Starbloom -- Great spy report!  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
