SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, MURSKA? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-0-0 is nice, but
don't get cocky, HAPPY FUN TIME, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud.
Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see SMILE WAFFLE win a fight and gain 16
points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, SMILE WAFFLE beat ANGRY SHORTY and ANGRY SHORTY lost 12
points. You're breakin' my heart. Going for broke or broken, our Duelmaster BLACK
ORC Dark Arena Challenged this turn. The crowds were amazed this turn, as BLACK ORC
killed the Duelmaster, RABEL, leaving ON THE ROCKS in mourning. This incredible
death has allowed, I might add, KAILIE RHINN from CHILDREN OF LLYR to ascend to the
throne of Duelmaster, and I hear DARK ARENA is not happy. 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,
MURSKA?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
MURSKA, I am losing what little hope I had in you. REALLY? the most avoided team?
What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like ON THE ROCKS avoided them
the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. FREE
CHEESE!! was challenged more times this turn than the Duelmaster. Now was the DM
insulted or feared? Heh, heh. Now look at this. DAN RATHER challenged down 16
against HAPPY FUN TIME's FREE CHEESE!!. What a weasel! DAN RATHER was overcame by
FREE CHEESE!!! Ok, DAN RATHER want to fight my grandmother next turn? Huh?
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for MURSKA's
morgue. More variety. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use.
Certain nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
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. Phlllt! Just had to do that before
I leave the fine city of MURSKA. I feel much better now. I see the crowds are
getting restless, I must leave now-- Snide Clemens

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!
