Once again I've been called out of retirement for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with BANFF? He actually beat MURSKA's EMBEZZLING SCRIBE, and walked away with 16 more points from the fight. Major screwup at BAD GUYS. GRINCH lost 11 points to ST MAGDALENE. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe GRINCH will provide more easy wins... I'm sure MURSKA is excited about LUCY JORDAN, the new Duelmaster from URBAN JUNGLE. (remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... 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. The most avoided team was URBAN JUNGLE. The bums at ON THE ROCKS couldn't face the challenges from URBAN JUNGLE! No excuse for that! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, HAMMERHEAD! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you. Warriors of MURSKA unite. You have only your games to lose! Hmm... More surprises must remain in store for me, if ICICLE can return from the Dark Arena. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor. You young rapscallions, take note! Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Time for my medication, so I'll leave now.

I hope you get to fight the Lion King. Now, that's a fight I'd wanna watch. -- Bartender, mgr On the Rocks Lucy Jordan -- Well, I'm out of here! Now, they say there's a special place in hell for women that don't help each other and I guess my beating you repeatedly hasn't helped you much. So, please accept this worn-down plate armor and these haggard shields that I won't be needing anymore. And a strategy tip, too: stand still and parry. Don't make it more complicated than that. Hope to see you again soon! I'll have a walker ready for you when you reach the Isle. -- Fartior Brendal -- Thank you for giving me a memorable last fight. You've always been a good sport. Go easy with the young lads at the top. They aren't nearly as sophisticated and refined as we are and need to be pampered a bit. -- Fartior All -- So, I have left Murska for good and thought I'd leave you with some stats, numbers, and stuff. I'm a 13(2)-16(2)-11-15(2)-21-9-7(2) scum with great endurance and good damage. I leave with an AdEx parry and Experts in defense and riposte. I favor the short sword and a VL/LO rhythm. -- Fartior Modranect -- Thank you for ending my seven fight long streak of losses. By the way, how long is yours? -- St Magdalene Second Watch -- Wow, now that's embarassing. I jump you and throw a wild attack! How jejune of me! -- Sazerac The Joker -- I'm not laughing. -- Scapa The Lion King -- Shouldn't you be back in the jungle making sure everyone toes the line? -- Harec O'Kai P.S. Although I thought lions were more of a grassland hunter type? Fartior -- And a fairly fond farewell to you, lady. -- Brendal Pelican Eel -- Listen, this isn't about logic, this is an emotional reaction to the mental images conjured by your name, okay? Irrational. But strong. You just gross me out. -- Tamra Kai P.S. Conceptually. Hammerhead -- Unfortunately, I couldn't get my aiming location changed in time to do that for you. -- Maire McAngus Decembre -- The season is against you now. -- Kailie Rhinn LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS ICICLE viciously butchered BANDIT PRINCE in a 2 minute Dark Arena fight.

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!
