SPY REPORT
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last
week's fights. We now have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.
PRAETORIAN GUARD now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. It was a
tough week for PHOENIX GUARD, to drop 7 places in the rankings. Coming up with a
solid 0-3-0 outing, ANQABOOT has advanced 9 places in the rankings. PRAETORIAN GUARD
is no joke as it posted a 3-1-0 week advancing from 2nd place to 1st place. Hey
everybody, watch out for HOLLOW MAN, who flew up 17 points in the rankings after
mashing DEKTRA like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. DEKTRA was bested by HOLLOW MAN and drops 15
points. Unlike most arenas, BUTTERED TROLL managed to get his challenge off against
the 14-5-0 BREUSE SANS PITE. In front of all the crowds, BREUSE SANS PITE took the
Duelmaster's crown for his own. I give the bum two weeks. Advice to bashers--never
force anything, just get a bigger halberd!
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the KOLACT arena. Here's a
song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad NEON DIAMONDS? Big bad NEON DIAMONDS.
Big bad NEON DIAMONDS. KOLACT's afraid of the big bad NEON DIAMONDS. Tra la la la
la! For those of you who like math, try this one: NEON DIAMONDS + Weapons That go
Boom = SHEWISH BAKERY + Avoid City. And who is this SIX SUMMERS you ask, with 105
points and a 22-29-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Can any one out there say
'weasel'? Oh well, just saying VALERIA VINDEX will do. She challenged 22 points
down to trash CARBON FIBRE. Definition of petty: VALERIA VINDEX overcame CARBON
FIBRE, a mismatch of 22 points. ANIMAL CRACKER of SHEWISH BAKERY had better have a
good reason for challenging down 11 points in a challenge which he won. I thought
ANIMAL CRACKER showed great skill and promise when he subdued SIX SUMMERS. All
right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! This week 13-18-0 CASSIUS VARUS
was sent to the Dark Arena. I know a lot of fighters with similar records who might
take notice of this. GEORGIA PEACH defied all odds and slew HIGH ELF in the Dark
Arena. The only ones displeased were the buzzards, as HIGH ELF's meat is notoriously
tough. Congrats to ZIRIX for revenging the death of his teammate (but more
importantly, feeding MELTING POT a bit of dirt). Ask not the elves for counsel, for
they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in KOLACT have no
sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. C'mon, Leadfoot, let's make some
tracks. Its been fun, and I'm sure you enjoyed it (boos). Now that I've got you
worked up for Snide Clemens, I'll be leaving-- The Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Well, I don't know who proofread that article from Moldavius, it certainly wasn't me.
Maybe he just took one blow too many to his head and lost track of where he was.
Moldavius and Praetorian Guard reside in KOLACT and he thanks you for your
understanding that he was confused in stating Niania in that article last turn. --

BLOODGAMES 2026 -- corrected (dates)
Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new slow Bloodgames mailed arena
beginning in September. 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 23
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.
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!
