Of course I would have liked to regain the title by beating The Wait, but hey I'll take it. It was still a hard earned victory to get back on top, facing a good and worthy opponent in Lucky Dawg. The air up here from the throne is always crisp and clear, and I aim to stay around a little longer than last time. Tyefoon season is coming again soon, and should be a strong one this year! As for the challenges, well, since The Plague decided to take a break from our fair city last turn, my first challenge goes out to Four Pawz. He has shown his resilience and tenacity the last few moons and deserves the first shot at the title. And in case his manager decides to come back before the summer tourney, my second challenge goes to Angel of Arkham. I promised him a rematch, and now he may get it. See you on the sands, Tyefoon Turmoil SPY REPORT If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of KATI-TEI brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Later days, THE PLAGUE, since DA DOG POWNDAZ took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. DA DOG POWNDAZ turned their 3-1-0 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 SUNBANE win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, MARLIN REEVE beat RED TENTACLE and RED TENTACLE lost 13 points. You're breakin' my heart. Looks like KATI-TEI has some guts at least, TYEFOON TURMOIL the Duelmaster was this turn's most-challenged warrior. FOUR PAWZ challenged KATI-TEI's Duelmaster for a shot at the throne. And it's out with the old, in with the new, as FOUR PAWZ takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The Swinging Aardvark, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get this stuff? From KATI-TEI's trash dumps? Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys. THE STORM FRONT, 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 who led the way in this mass act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was DA DOG POWNDAZ. Ha ha ha ha! I guess I can give a little credit to UBBA-SATHLA of THE PLAGUE for challenging up by 18 to MOHNSOON MAYHEM. UBBA-SATHLA lost to get 30 points of recognition. Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for KATI-TEI's morgue. More variety. We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if the fate catches up with you sooner that later? There's got to be a better place in KATI-TEI to get a drink than The Swinging Aardvark! Any suggestions? Just wait 'till next time I show up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah!

LOL -- Lucky Dawg Skitzoid Snoopy -- I like to play with a dog from time to time, but you're a strange one. Very strange. A beagle who acts like a mastiff with the temper of... I dunno, a rabid wolf? Well, anyway, I survived the experience, which had better be enough. -- Balin Chane Requiem -- Ah, an elf. Well, half an elf, at least.

I'm starting to think I'm rounding out my form and finding my faves! Hope I can tell you what they actually are in a few turns. -- Tyefoon Turmoil Four Pawz -- That actually surprised me! Didn't think you could get the jump on me. But I'll give you credit... you're nothing if not persistent. -- El Nino Marlin Reeve -- Don't get me wrong, I like our little rivalry, but there has to be someone else around here we can fight besides each other! Now I think that's 2 wins for me and 2 for you by my count. But I could be wrong. Either way, let's make our 5th fight way down the road and fight someone else for awhile. -- Syklone Sequel Sunbane -- You pack quite a punch! And I used to think I could take a beating and keep on ticking! Guess I have to rethink my game plan. -- Wrolling Thunder Samara -- I'll be whoever you want me to be! -- Wrolling Thunder Ambitious Guard -- Ambition usually takes you places, but the only place it took you this time was Smack Down City! -- Mohnsoon Mayhem LAST WEEK'S FIGHTS SEE YA was butchered by BANDIT PRINCE in a 1 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!
