SPY REPORT
Greetings, Warriors of ERINIKA. Allow this humble servant Novgorodny Vir to
give you a respite from the fights in the form of this Spyreport. Perhaps it is SS02
1 members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 18th to 5th last week...
(Less time in the sun...) Managers were muttering after FAV SAYINGS 5 showed ERINIKA
what they could do: 1-0-0 to move up by 18. Like a chunk of francium heaved into a
wet pond, EASTERN HORDE 3 blew up the rankings to 20! Perhaps it is SS06 01 members'
intannibility that enabled them to move from 26th to 12th last week... (Less time in
the sun...) Thinking about sending their team manager to the Dark Arena is DRAFT
KINGS, after suffering a 11 drop in ranking. The boys at ON TAP 10 aren't the
happy-go-lucky bunch we all know and love, after suffering a 12 drop last week.
Rumor has it an incurable disease has swept the stable of LUDUS MAGNUS XVI. Note
their drop in the rankings from 11th to 38th. Watch out!!! Thinking about sending
their team manager to the Dark Arena is 2131 BOURBON ST, after suffering a 25 drop in
ranking. CALENDAR GIRLS had cause to celebrate, after AVRIL LAVIGNE got 27 points by
beating WIDOW JANE. Win some, lose some. Speaking of which, EVANGELINA was winsome,
after beating STINGER and seeing it lose 18 points. Duelmaster SNITCH TAGGER from
YUPPIE IDIOMS 225 is going for the gold, as it Dark Arena Challenged DARK ARENA's
RINTHALAR THE GREY. Ooh, the excitement! The crowds were amazed this turn, as
RINTHALAR THE GREY killed the Duelmaster, SNITCH TAGGER, leaving YUPPIE IDIOMS 225 in
mourning. The audience got their money's worth, as they witnessed AVRIL LAVIGNE
attain the throne at the cost of SNITCH TAGGER's life! Word has it one team in
ERINIKA is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life!
So much to report, so little time! Is it charming personality? Conversational
abilities? Good oral hygiene? Whatever it is, LEGIONNAIRE is the most challenged
warrior. OUT OF MOP GAS challenged LEGIONNAIRE! Who says MY BED BANDER are just a
bunch of wimps! OUT OF MOP GAS of MY BED BANDER kept his wits as he beat
LEGIONNAIRE.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Q: What's a
record like 12-1-0 get you? A: A free trip to the Dark Arena! This week's winner:
BASIL HAYDEN of 2133 BOURBON ST! Admittedly Death waits for no one, but me thinks
BASIL HAYDEN of 2133 BOURBON ST (12-1-0) is being sent off a little prematurely.
Alas, poor WIDOW JANE. We all know 2131 BOURBON ST's retirement plan isn't the best
in the world. AVRIL LAVIGNE, may you be as missed when your time comes.
Congratulations, DEATHOFASALESLLAMA. The manager of LUDUS MAGNUS XVI should have
sent FLAMMA to the Dark Arena for having a 16-17-0 long ago. Death in the arena! In
a cheap quest for a cheap victory, DEATHOFASALESLLAMA faced FLAMMA in an uneven
fight. LUDUS MAGNUS XVI, we expect bloody revenge! Questions are being raised about
the disposing of severed body parts in the arena. A certain tavern in ERINIKA would
I avoid!
Leave me now, you base fools! As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my
control, I must take my leave of this place. Can anything compare to the pleasure of
writing Spyreports for ERINIKA? On that giddy note I take my leave-- Novgorodny Vir

SUMMER BLOODGAMES 2025
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 summer Face-
to-Face.
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 Turn 1 is due Fri July 18 at 9pm at the hotel
Bloodgames (DM 98): Turns process with the tournament
Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only
Mail-in style Turn 1 is due Sat July 19 at 9pm at the hotel
Bloodgames (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 August 13
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!
