SPY REPORT
Welcome DRAGONHEAD. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Bein' on top is great
while it lasts, BASH BROS TWITTER. But how many friends do you have now? Who can
explain it? Not you, not me, not NESHL's opponents, after watching them shoot up the
ranks from 21st to 9th. You know what they say about the herd of lions who studied a
judge... TEQUILA moved up 13 places, to 21st. REAL PEOPLE bit the big one as they
could not win. They dropped from 10th down to 26th! Are you guy giving lessons or
what? Looking for a good fight, confident, skilled, tough opponents. Well don't
look at BASH BROS SLEEP, cause they dropped by 20. Ever take one of those
association tests? You know, he says black, you say white. Water-Lake, Sky-Blue.
Try this: Flop. SATAN'S CHILDREN! It seems so recently people were saying NL
CENTRAL was washed up, finished. But 4-1-0 moved them up 6. I guess they're washed
no more... What's with POKER FACE? It actually beat BASH BROS CLOTHES II's
WRINKLED, and walked away with 20 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at BAD
COMBOS while they watched COVID PARTY clobber RETWEETER. He lost 16 points and got
bruised from objects thrown from the stands. DRAGONHEAD has a Duelmaster who doesn't
sit back and get lazy. It challenged KABOOMERS' FLAME OUT (7-2-1), which should
prove (ahem!) interesting. FLAME OUT was reminded on the sands why BEAR is
Duelmaster. Advice to fighters with a 1 will--give up fighting!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports.
DRAGONHEAD thinks FREELANCERS and their 160-165-12 is too much! If at first you
don't succeed, give up... In my day, no team with a 158-163-12 would scare me off!
What's the problem, RYAN'S SPORTS? How well I know the feeling of being the most
challenged warrior, APHRODITE VON BOO! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to
haunt you. KELP didn't quite know what to make of a challenge he received from WEED
of SATAN'S CHILDREN, who is 22 points below him. WEED perhaps got his just desserts,
seeing as he was bested by KELP and ended up with 4 recognition points.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Who will dare fight TRIPLE DOG DARE, after he
returned from the Dark Arena? (For the record 10-1-1 is 178, and has he points) How
long have I been here? I got people to see, places to go...
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. All work
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

BLOODGAMES 2026
Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new slow Bloodgames mailed arena
beginning in August. We also plan our usual Bloodgames arenas at the winter and
summer Face-to-Face tournaments.
For those of you who always wanted the chance to manage the last warrior standing
alive upon the arena sands, your day has come. The Bloodgames are coming!
At the end of the ten turns, even though several warriors, bruised and scarred, MAY
yet live, only one will be crowned Champion of the Bloodgames. And in this game mere
survival counts for little. A great general once said, "The object of battle is not
to die for your cause, but to make your enemy die for his." This general would have
greatly enjoyed the Duelmasters Bloodgames. Here are the particulars:
Face-to-Face style Bloodgames Turn 1 is due by Fri at 9pm at the hotel
(Winter: DM 96, Summer: DM 98) Turns process with the tournament
Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only
Mail-in style Bloodgames Turn 1 is by Sat at 9pm at the hotel
(Winter: DM 97, Summer: DM 99) All turns process overnight, mail-in style.
No strategy changes; all ten rounds process one
after the other and results will be out Sun morning.
Slow Bloodgames (DM 95): Turn 1 is due Weds September 24
Turns process every 28 days
Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only
Gameplay proceeds according to standard DM rules, except for a few notable exceptions:
BLOODGAMES ROLLUP -- Your Bloodgames team is ten warriors, one of each fighting
style, each warrior designed from scratch! (All are DYOs (design your owns) with 84
points, 3-21, as usual.) To submit your rollup, just write/type them up and send them
in. We'll mail or email your overviews and you can write up your strategies. Your
warriors must be created and have strategies entered by the first due date.
DEATH -- As the name implies, the Bloodgames will leave the arena sands somewhat
darker before they're over. It's a dangerous sport intended only for the tough and
spirited. The Arenamaster will be less likely to intercede on behalf of a dying
warrior. Even at a 1 kill desire, kill attempts will occur.
REPLACEMENTS AND ROLLUPS -- There will be no replacement characters.
CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES -- In the turn-based bloodgames, there are no regular
challenges, only bloodfeuds. There will be no DA challenges in any of the bloodgames
arenas.
TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- DM 95 is due August 1 and will process on a 28-day
schedule. The other two bloodgames arenas will be processed at the summer Face-to-
Face. (Note: there will also be bloodgames at the next winter FTF.)
MISSED TURNS -- All warriors fight each round. Only the dead may rest.
ERRORS -- If we make an input error, that warrior will be awarded a win and kill.
Errors must be reported before the next turn processes.
NEWSLETTER -- Warriors are ranked according to their number of kills. Champions of
Bloodgames may write a column for the newsletter at the end of the games.
FEES -- A Bloodgames rollup costs a $10 set-up fee. Managers may roll up more than
one team but may run only one team in each arena. The fee for all ten rounds is $49.
AWARDS -- The Bloodgames last ten rounds. Only warriors who survive to the end of
Turn 10 will be eligible for an award. However, a consolation award of a Bloodgames
T-shirt will be awarded to the dead warrior with the most kills.
The living warrior with the greatest number of kills will be the Bloodgames Champion.
Bloodgames Victor titles, 2nd and 3rd place will be awarded to those living warriors
with the greatest number of kills at the end of Turn 10, with one other important
consideration: Each of these three warriors must be of a different fighting style.
Win/loss records and, if necessary, recognition points will only be used to determine
awards if there is a tie.
The Bloodgames Champion fights for free in Advanced Duelmasters, and all Champions and
Victors earn Tournament Victor status, which allows them to challenge once per turn
with increased priority. These awards last for six months. The manager of the
Bloodgames Champion and Victors will receive Bloodgames T-shirts.
A Bloodgames T-shirt will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most kills.
T-shirts will only happen if someone gives us a nice design. One shirt per person.
AFTERMATH -- Warriors from the Bloodgames may not transfer to any other arena. Once
the games are over, the arena and teams will be disbanded. The fighters have won
their freedom and will never more be seen in the gladiatorial games. A special bonus
will, however, be awarded to the 1st through 3rd place warriors. Lady Sheila
Greywand, of the Isle of the Eye, has consented to allow the top three gladiators in
each Bloodgames admission to the Advanced Duelmasters games. Any special training
required to qualify those three warriors for Advanced Duelmasters combat will be
conducted before transfer into ADM. Astute managers will note that this means that
three warriors that are designed from scratch will survive the Bloodgames, win one of
the top three places, and go on to immortal glory! One of those warriors could be
yours!
The challenge is yours to take. The final plans are yours to make.
When the dust settles, remember: To the victor goes the spoils!

From: The Office of Accurate Census Reporting, Gladiatorial Commission
To: All Managers
In the interest of preserving our natural resources and preventing managerial writer's
cramp, the census form has been eliminated, effective immediately. Managers may
register their warriors' races and/or favorite sayings by simply writing them on a
separate piece of paper and submitting them to the Commission. Each warrior may have
up to 15 favorite sayings. Each saying must be categorized Jeer, Gloat, Boredom, Ouch,
Victory and may be up to 70 characters long. For any questions, please contact the
Gladiatorial Commission.
