TEAM SPOTLIGHT
Urgent message from Scruffy Puff and the Bohicans:
Let's be honest; you're all a bunch of hoohahs. I'm the only manager in Lapur
with an acorn of common sense, so let me set the record straight. I've been away for
a while, but what's with all the horribly-selected nominees for the 2009 Lapurian
awards? I feel obligated to correct all your poor choices and give you the TRUE list.
Best ST -- Needs Salt (hands down), followed by Red Hot Chili. Salt graduated
at 16-4, was the fastest warrior and hardest hitter in the arena when he left. No
question. Not a chump.
Best BA -- Celadus. The best of a bunch of mediocre bashers in 2009. Was a
chump. A fast, hard-hitting chump, but still a chump.
Best TP -- Makados, followed by Felicia. Both were hard to hit and not afraid
to smack you silly. Not chumps.
Best AB -- Luna. Nasty girl! Definitely not a chump.
Best LU -- Fhrain, followed by Bimbo Slice. Fhrain was the warrior I least
wanted to fight in 2009. Not chumps; however, both their managers are.
Best SL -- Tie: Mr. Spock and Silver Saw. Both chumps. Their managers too.
Especially that Ora guy.
Best WS -- Lucky Eireann. Like fighting a rock wall that hits back. Was a
chump early in her career. Not a chump now.
Best PL -- Cuddle Me Tender, followed by Von Grov. Cuddle was dominant, and
would have graduated at 20 FE if her mentally-challenged manager hadn't entered her
mistimed into a tourney where despite her 4-0 start was ambushed in a dark alley and
murdered. *shakes head*
Best PS -- Ice Shard. Were there any others? Big chump. His manager too.
Best PR -- Rindel. The only one to live past puberty. Half a chump.
Best Duelmaster -- Luna, the most talented warrior from Lapur in 2009.
Best Team Name -- Street Walkers and their consistently good warrior names.
Worst Duelmaster -- Liternius. If you look up "chump" in the dictionary,
there's a photo of Liternius next to the definition.
Worst Team Name -- Plates. Hahahaha. Chumps. All of them.
Favorite Manager or Team -- Street Walkers. What's not to like about street
walkers!?!?
Best Warrior Name -- Meat Popsicle. Was a BIG ol' chump, though.
Most Disliked Manager or Team -- Retardacus and his Equestors. Anyone who cries
"unfair" about losing to warriors with a third of the FE goes on my naughty list.
And then gets challenged as often as possible.
Worst Warrior Name -- Every warrior from the Plates stable.
Most Avoided Team -- Will Duel 4 Mead
Best Personals Writer -- Sporkis
Most Challenged Team -- Equestors. See above.
Best Spotlight Writer -- Jorja
Marcus Award -- Colossus. An old-school warrior. Was glad to see him make it
to graduation.
Ahringol's Apprentice Award -- Will Duel 4 Mead. They seemed to kill someone
every other turn.
Bonnie Award -- Luna. You will not be missed.
Until I return and grace you with my presence,
Scruffy Puff, BOHICA

SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, LAPUR? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, MID EARTH, since TRAIL OF
TEARS took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Now keep the taverns
open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for CARDOW HUNTERS, whose 0-5-0
this turn dropped them by 4 into 10th. Ha! TRAIL OF TEARS turned their 4-1-2 turn
into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get
put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SNOWDROP win a
fight and gain 23 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, TRINKET beat IRYANA and IRYANA lost 13
points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like LAPUR has some guts at least, BIMBO
SLICE the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior. MR. SPOCK challenged
LAPUR's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old, in with the
new, as MR. SPOCK takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.
Heh, heh. Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of
these guys win their fights? Skill? Ha!
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. LAPUR,
I am losing what little hope I had in you. EQUESTORS the most avoided team? What
insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like OPEN HAND avoided them the most
this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Now here's guts
and stupidity all rolled into one, RINDEL challenged up 43 to take on VINDOCOMUS of
EQUESTORS. And The Burning Tree has banned VINDOCOMUS from service until next turn
for losing to RINDEL and giving him 23 points in the process! Ha! I guess I can
give a little credit to LIEUTENANT WORF of TREKKERS for challenging up by 24 to WHIP
ME HOUSTON. LIEUTENANT WORF lost to get 63 points of recognition.
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. You can run, OSTARA, but maybe you can't hide from
CLUBS 'N CLONES. Killing GRU-MUNCHER is something the rest of TRAIL OF TEARS may not
be able to help you with. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team
is developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Well, I've had enough of this
drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. I see
the crowds are getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

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!
