                             Notes from the arena champ.

     Hey, everyone, how's it going?  Confession and I needed a break so we went on a
mini vacation to the Isle to check out the tourney action and visit our guildmates.
Consternation had a solid tourney (5-3); Conundrum struggled and found himself
participating in the Fools Tourney (1-3, which seems appropriate given his 3 WT).  I
think I can speak for both of us and say we are looking forward to earning our place
alongside our friends on the Isle.
     Zilch, thanks for keeping the throne warm for me.  You guys have been on a
fantastic roll in our absence.  It's ironic that my win preserved the modern record
for Current Top Team for my manager.  He says he would have been proud to share it
but he would rather own it outright.  :)

Confidence, the LU with a TP's body

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome ARKERS.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have 
I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with NORM QUESHA?  
He actually beat SMITHSONIAN's ALAMO, and walked away with 21 more points from the 
fight.  Major screwup at SMITHSONIAN.  ALAMO lost 18 points to NORM QUESHA.  Some new 
strategies, perhaps?  Maybe ALAMO will provide more easy wins...  Z GLADIATORZ's 
hatred of CONSANGUINEOUS surfaced again as ZILCH challenged ARKERS' top dog.  ZILCH 
was reminded on the sands why CONFIDENCE is Duelmaster.  Wouldn't it be nice to have 
live subjects to practice on?  I hear some team is looking into the uses of convicted 
prisoners.   
     If at first you don't succeed, avoid.  That'll get you in the Spyreports.  
ARKERS thinks CONSANGUINEOUS and their 80-24-2 is too much!  If at first you don't 
succeed, give up...  The bums at Z GLADIATORZ couldn't face the challenges from 
CONSANGUINEOUS!  No excuse for that!  How well I know the feeling of being the most 
challenged warrior, DEAD LEE!  Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt 
you.   
     Warriors of ARKERS unite.  You have only your games to lose!  Is it my 
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day?  To die so young, so 
gloriously!   
     Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors.  Any plans here?  The 
end of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  Time for my 
medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

Confidence, well, you exuded it and I didn't and I ended up with zilch.  Pshaw!
Congrats on winning the throne.  I look forward to learning something from your DM
column. -- Zilch

Imerta Loel, I was glad to provide a little zest in your life.  I hear Fratsfans need
it badly. -- Zest

Veteran Mercenary, it was interesting watching you perform for your dinner; thanks
for letting me accompany you.  (wink) -- Zither

Stand-By Captain, I do not know what has gotten into me recently, killing both
Virtuous Scribe and Captured Orc.  I guess that in my heights of excitement, I am
just a despicable person. -- Zephyr

     Well, you should know. -- Arenamaster Sherovan

Norm, whew!  That was a close one.  You scare me with all that experience, and when
you whapped me hard, I thought it was all over.  But who would have thought that I
had some defense in me?  Amazing, really. -- Zork

Kotter Nahl, perhaps you could be my red meat? -- Zork (the cat who eats red meat--
lots of it--and enjoys the life of an Aruaki werecat)

Well, shucks!  That Consag bunch and that Confidence ruined a 2nd Z Gladiatorz 15-0.
The scuzzballs!  But, ya know, if ya ain't earned it, ya ain't earned it.  We Z's
will just have ta be satisfied with a mere 14-1-4.  Shuckins! -- The Z Man

Confidence, congratulations on winning the Arkers DM Crown and Title.  You certainly
have the name for it!  And tell that "dummy" boss of yours--howdy and congrats. --
Curator

Kotter, a rock is a rock is a rock. -- Plymouth Rock

Sir Cumsizer, you got the jump on me just like those Japs of old did!  You must have
learned a lot of decise in that great tournament run you made?  (wink) -- Iwo Jima

kerbin Notts, uh, whatever I did there just simply didn't work.  I was ugly!  Hazards
a poor attack and misses.  Is out of control and misses wildly.  Yuck! -- Alamo (No
wonder we lost the fort.)

Dead Lee, yo no dead.  Almost be me.  Needum fire water. -- Geronimo

You Pay I Slay, great, great tournament run for Ura Goner, the Apprentice TC at 15-2.
Kudos!  It is perfectly fine if Ura does NOT appear in Arkers.  Keep him sandbagger!
(wink)  You brought great glory to Arkers. -- Curator

Health.  Humility.  Honor. -- Curator

Confession --I deny everything! -- Indior Landis

Alamo -- Remember this.  This is how it's supposed to go. -- Kerbin Notts

Zork -- I didn't realize the Arenmaster was announcing your entry onto the sands, I
thought he was just, ah, belching or something.  Rather gross, I thought it--in
public?  Tcha.  And then, there you were. -- Norm Quesha

Plymouth Rock -- Not bad, but you need a stronger bass line, I think. -- Kotter Nahl

Zest -- Not what I expected.  But it could have been worse: I survived. -- Imerta
Loel
P.S.  And the lemonade was quite good.

We salute the tourney participants from Arkers, especially Ura Goner, the deadly
Champion from Apprentices. -- Jorja and the Middle Way

                        BLOODGAMES at the SUMMER FACE-TO-FACE

Back by popular demand, we will be having Bloodgames at the Summer FTF!  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 98:  for Face-to-Face attendees, with turn-by-turn strategies, and 
     DM 99:  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 98, there no regular challenges, only bloodfeuds.  
For DM 99, 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, July 7, 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!
