                                      SPY REPORT

     So why do I have this bag over my head?  Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and 
I'm going to give you a spy report!.  We now have a new top team for all of you guys 
to dogpile on.  WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U! now holds the crown and they are betting they can 
keep it.  It was a tough week for TOILET GHOSTS, to drop 7 places in the rankings.  
Coming up with a solid 3-2-1 outing, STIKE FORCE has advanced 4 places in the 
rankings.  Advancing in the rankings was WHAMMO & THUDDA 4U! who went from last 
turn's 508-424-21, to this week's record of 511-425-22.  Hey everybody, watch out for 
SPIDER MONKEY, who flew up 22 points in the rankings after mashing KEA like a melon.  
Keep your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the 
sands.  SOLAMANCER was beat by LEMON BARRIO and drops 27 points.  Unlike most arenas, 
DA ZAGAGNA managed to get its challenge off against the 17-9-1 STICKY SEAT.  Going 
for the gusto and coming up with aught but bloody knuckles was TOILET GHOSTS' STICKY 
SEAT, who was turned away from the Duelmastership by DA ZAGAGNA.  4 out of 5 
gladiators surveyed protect the body, so try and avoid aiming at that location.   
     But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle!  
Did you hear that STIKE FORCE was most avoided team this week?  Well, knowing the 
personal hygiene of STIKE FORCE's warriors, I'm not surprised!  And you guys like to 
boo me?  Well, unsling your rasberries, cause BAD SANTA '24 beats feet every time 
STIKE FORCE smiles at them.  Try farming, eh?  And who is this MOONSTRUCK you ask, 
with 119 points and a 10-4-0 record.  Ooh, the tales I could tell!  In a touching 
display by a 'touched' warrior, ABBA-ZABA went after MOONSTRUCK, who was higher by 19 
points.  Well, when the dust settled, ABBA-ZABA was subdued by MOONSTRUCK.   
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Yes, and another newbie bites the dust as 
ANGRY ELF goes down under the sword of GENERAL CONCENSUS.  Thanks to this, GENERAL 
CONCENSUS now has 80 recognition points.  Well, just when you thought it was safe to 
put a new warrior in the arena.  No no!  KEA, a mere spawn, was slain by SPIDER 
MONKEY this turn.  The audience likes blood and there was plenty of it covering 
FAULTY FLAPPER as she was driven to an early grave by ST-ANDARD of the STIKE FORCE.  
Ask not the elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no.  Silly buggers, eh? 
     Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in CHIMLEVTAL have no 
sense of humor.  Or maybe that they were senseless.  Okay, so I may not be the 
world's best comedian, but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  Its been 
real, and its been fun, but it hasn't been real fun...-- The Unknown Spymaster

Chimlevtal -- When I saw Cutthroat's bio, I realized I forgot to highlight Capt. 
America.  No fancy bonusses like Cutthroat though.  Mode across the board, parry still 
unknown, and Defence between -1 and +2 based on the wit comment.  He thumped Stone 
Golem on the way out (21 Crit attack and 2 normal attacks over 4 minutes), so maybe he 
really does like his new favourite weapon.  He was 16(1)-5-9-17-17-14-7, so only used 
SH/HA/BS in the arena here.  63 learned skills, in the order of 11/8/19/6/4/15.  I was 
sure he was a decise learner (clearly not init), but the commission said Longsword, 
HI/LO, learns Attack, no tactics. Just lucky to learn decise like that. -- Crip, Mgr. 
of Military Mayhem

Faulty Flapper -- While you had beaten me previously, it wasn't destined to happen 
again.  I'll be sitting out for a few turns to participate in the next Mail-In. -- 
Hullabaloo

Motherload -- A brave challenge, but not too wise given the style advantage. Hopefully 
you don't start walking with a limp now. -- Savage

Frank Murphy -- Rapscallion was very frail, so it was expected he would die young.  We 
were just hoping to get a few more wins, and maybe a kill or two, before he met his 
demise.  Don't know yet if we'll bloodfeud or not. -- Assassin Nation

Pie-Eyed Doe -- Good win.  Appreciate the learns! -- Darkness

Unhygienic -- Belligerence wasn't anything special.  We do get the rare opportunity to 
challenge with a 0 FE fighter. -- The Other One

     No, you can't challenge with a warrior that has never fought.  The Arena Masters 
     won't let a rookie do that!  He has to have at least tried fighting once before

                         BLOODGAMES 2026 -- corrected (dates)

Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new slow Bloodgames mailed arena 
beginning in September. We also plan our usual Bloodgames arenas at the winter and 
summer Face-to-Face tournaments.  

For those of you who always wanted the chance to manage the last warrior standing 
alive upon the arena sands, your day has come.  The Bloodgames are coming! 

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.  Here are the particulars: 

  Face-to-Face style Bloodgames  Turn 1 is due by Fri at 9pm at the hotel
  (Winter: DM 96, Summer: DM 98) Turns process with the tournament 
                                 Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only 

  Mail-in style Bloodgames       Turn 1 is by Sat at 9pm at the hotel
  (Winter: DM 97, Summer: DM 99) All turns process overnight, mail-in style.
                                 No strategy changes; all ten rounds process one
                                 after the other and results will be out Sun morning.
 
  Slow Bloodgames (DM 95):       Turn 1 is due Weds September 23 
                                 Turns process every 28 days
	                         Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only 
          
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 DYOs (design your owns) with 84 
points, 3-21, as usual.) To submit your rollup, just write/type them up and send them 
in.  We'll mail or email your overviews and you can write up your strategies. Your 
warriors must be created and have strategies entered by the first due date. 

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 turn-based bloodgames, there are no regular 
challenges, only bloodfeuds.  There will be no DA challenges in any of the bloodgames 
arenas.

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 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 three 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.  

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 and Victors will receive Bloodgames T-shirts.

A Bloodgames T-shirt will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most kills.  
T-shirts will only happen if someone gives us a nice design. One shirt per person.

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!
