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. LUDUS
MAGNUS now holds the crown and they are betting they can keep it. Suffering under a
1-2-0 record and dropping from 3rd to 15th place were the DARK OVERLORDS. Keep
trying! Coming up with a solid 3-2-0 outing, DARK AT HEART has advanced 9 places in
the rankings. Advancing in the rankings was THUNDERCAT CLOSET who went from last
turn's 1-2-0, to this week's record of 4-3-0. Hey everybody, watch out for SORROW,
who flew up 17 points in the rankings after mashing WHEELBARROW like a melon. Keep
your eye on this gal. And falling like a basher in the top ten was RHASKOS, who
dropped 15 points after a disappointing (to say the least) bout with VLAD THE
INHALER. DRED got through to the Duelmaster this turn. No doubt he was more than
anxious to kick BLAKSKUL's tail out of the throne! It's a proud day for the DARK AT
HEART stable, as their warrior, DRED, ascended the Duelmaster's throne. An apple a
day keeps the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps T.P.s at bay.
Here is other news that is of note. And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't
avoid OMINOUS REIGN, please raise you hand. Wow. Does SUNSET really have that many
liars? Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch COSMIC FREAK OUT's act in the arena.
Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from OMINOUS REIGN. And who is this
DRAGON ASP you ask, with 7 points and a 1-4-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell!
In a touching display by a 'touched' warrior, HELRAZOR went after DOILY, who was
higher by 20 points. Well, when the dust settled, HELRAZOR was subdued by DOILY.
TISTHESEASON2BLETHAL of DEVIATION had better have a good reason for challenging down
12 points in a challenge which he won. I thought TISTHESEASON2BLETHAL showed great
skill and promise when he overcame WALLI WEEBLE. All right, so I slept through it!
Big deal!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Congrats to GWENHYVAR for revenging the death of hers
teammate (but more importantly, feeding SEGOVAX a bit of dirt). Ask not the elves
for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in
next week's fights. Hasta la bye-bye. (Loud choruses of 'Beat it, ya bum!')-- The
Unknown Spymaster

PERSONAL ADS
Maple -- It looks like you are single-handedly re-making my Sunset roster. I'll give
you another chance this turn, if my gladiators make it to the arena in time for this
turn's fights! Just promise to talk to the RUGS and ask them to send me decent
replacements if you're going to keep killing them. -- Froot E. Bowl
Thar -- Nice Challenge! Not much chance of success for me in that one. -- Fish
Murgatroyd -- I'm sure this wasn't quite the random matchup you were looking for, it
looked like a very close fight. -- Manute Jr.
Dragon Asp -- Basically it was two exhausted gladiators duking it out in the end...
you got the last shot in. Might have been a little different if I had my will
trained before this fight, but I'm sure we'll get another chance to find out
sometime. Good one! -- Dust
Lavern Temple -- Not quite sure how you got the jump on me, but that was a good
one... at least I got a few skills out of the deal. -- Bulous
Nannerpuss -- After sitting out so many turns, I had a lot of pent up energy for that
fight! -- Level of Malevolence
Walli Weeble -- You weebled and you wobbled and you DID fall down!! Fah lah lah lah
lahhhhhh.... -- Tistheseasontobelethal
Pietros -- A happy man I was when I saw you standing in front of me... and then lying
down two minutes later! -- My Sword and Savior
Blah4 -- Your name sums up my 20 fight performance to date! -- Hoosier Daddy
Kipling -- Well done, young rudyard.... not much I could do there. -- Dirtywork
Scapegoat
Ben -- Condolences on your loss there... that was painful to see in the NL. -- Marma
Duke
RSI -- Could I get a list of the arena managers posted please. Thank you. -- Archelf

BLOODGAMES at the WINTER FACE-TO-FACE
Back by popular demand, we will be having Bloodgames at the Winter 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 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!
