Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, CLUELESS, since RUN DMC took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see BIG-HEADED KAT win a fight and gain 17 points, terribly. ALLEY OOP challenged MORDANT's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And if variety is the spice of life, MORDANT may be getting bland, as WHISKEY stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, MORDANT? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. HOMICIDAL MANIACS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And it looks like ONE HIT WONDERS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. RANDOM MANIAC was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. I guess I can give a little credit to FUNKYTOWN of ONE HIT WONDERS for challenging up by 19 to AMBER. FUNKYTOWN won to get 58 points of recognition. Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and gone, and get to see if their team cared. Whoa! I'll even buy 15169518417 a drink tonight! Anyone who can come back from the Dark Arena, I want to be on its good side! We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later? What does the MORDANT arena have in common with the inns? It's just as comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME WHISKEY 8582 10 2 0 120 BOOZE (605) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -NAEGLING 8576 9 2 2 120 SWEORDMASTERS (138) BRANDY 8584 9 0 0 107 BOOZE (605) RANDOM MANIAC 7800 11 63 1 97 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) ALLEY OOP 8664 10 4 1 92 ONE HIT WONDERS (632) JOSH 8581 16 12 0 91 CLUELESS (628) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME TAI 8579 15 13 0 79 CLUELESS (628) CEREAL KILLER 8625 10 10 0 70 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BIG-HEADED KAT 7110 8 3 0 66 THE MOTHERSHIP 4 (476) TAKE ON ME 8682 6 4 0 64 ONE HIT WONDERS (632) DIONNE 8578 15 13 0 58 CLUELESS (628) FUNKYTOWN 8665 9 3 0 58 ONE HIT WONDERS (632) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BLACK BETTY 8661 6 6 1 56 ONE HIT WONDERS (632) AMBER 8580 12 16 0 52 CLUELESS (628) -DIRK DIGLER 8115 7 6 1 52 KIDS GONE BAD (275) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME 15169518417 8778 1 0 1 33 MANNEQUIN'S BEST (537) PLATINUM 8182 2 0 0 32 STEEL LEGION (581) IN MY HOUSE 8689 5 5 1 29 ONE HIT WONDERS (632) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SHOTGUN DADDY 8738 4 4 0 29 HOMICIDAL MANIACS (121) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME HARD TIMES 8732 4 2 0 23 RUN DMC (636) DOWNWITHTHEKING 8736 3 0 0 22 RUN DMC (636) MY ADIDAS 8733 2 0 0 18 RUN DMC (636) -SPEED FREAK 8761 1 0 0 12 KIDS GONE BAD (275) S...

For those of you who always wanted the chance to manage the last warrior standing alive upon the arena sands, your day has come. 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. There will be two different arenas: DM 96: for Face-to-Face attendees, with turn-by-turn strategies, and DM 97: for all managers, with one strategy for all ten rounds 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 is 84 points, 3-21, as usual.) 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 DM 96, there no regular challenges, only bloodfeuds. For DM 97, warriors may not change their strategy from round to round (to make it fair for those who could not attend the F-t-F). There will be no DA challenges. TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- If you are not attending the FTF, we must have your rollups and strategies by Wednesday, January 11, else they are due by 9pm on Friday, at the hotel. The Bloodgames will process at the FTF with the regular tournament. 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, and Bloodgames Runner-up titles, 4th through 6th 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 six 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. A Bloodgames T-shirts will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most kills. 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, Victors, and Runners-up will receive Bloodgames T-shirts. 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 surviving 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 A.D. Astute managers will note that this means a slim, but possible chance that a warrior designed from scratch will survive the Bloodgames, win one of the top three places, and go on to glory in A.D. That warrior 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!
