DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I find it a little ironic that me, a wall of steel, takes the throne from Buri!
I'm sure I'll be seeing a lot of his stable in my near future! If I remember
correctly, I think I went after the ol' 4 armed bandit anyway, I owe him a morning
star or 5 to the head! Hehe. What is omnitrix anyhow? Sounds like it should be on
the cereal killers in sunset. Silly rabbit. I would offer ol' 4arms an ale before
our fight but I'm afraid he'll want one for each hand! How do you supposed to beat a
guy with 2 extry arms!? Hell, next thing ya know there be a dude flyin' round here
with wings, swarpin' people's heads from above! Just more targets for me to swing
at! I'm out like a fat kid in dodge ball.
Kojak -- Duel Master
SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, IAYE? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before?
Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, OMNITRIX, since ALL JACKED UP took
top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. Now let's all watch ALL JACKED
UP's heads swell from their 4-1-1 this turn. Haa ha ha ha! Big shots, big talk, big
deal. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see TREACH win a fight and gain 18
points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, KUNG-FU MASTER beat HEATBLAST and HEATBLAST lost 22
points. You're breakin' my heart. Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster FOUR
ARMS challenged this turn. And if variety is the spice of life, IAYE may be getting
bland, as KOJAK 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, IAYE?
My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start
talking.' I loved that woman. OMNITRIX, 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 LENPROS avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers,
if you ask me. Hmph. JR. KIMBROUGH was challenged more times this turn than the
Duelmaster. Now was the DM insulted or feared? Heh, heh. LOVE IN VAIN was
challenged by one of NATURE MADE's warriors this turn, with THE GREAT LAKES having a
lead of 16 points going into the fight. Question now is, will IAYE accept this sort
of tacky behavior? THE GREAT LAKES beating LOVE IN VAIN. The insult, the....yech!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines
through use. Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
There's got to be a better place in IAYE to get a drink than The Rat Nest! Any
suggestions? 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

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:
FTF-Style (DM 98): for Face-to-Face attendees, with turn-by-turn strategies
Mail-in-Style (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 are 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 the FTF-style bloodgames, there are no regular
challenges, only bloodfeuds. For the Mail-in arena, warriors may not change their
strategy from round to round (to make it fair for those who could not attend the
FTF). There will be no DA challenges in either arena.
TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- If you are not attending the FTF, we must have your
rollups and strategies by the Wednesday before the FTF, 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 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!
