SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out KATI-TEI to see
what's new. One team deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 1 after going
3-1-0. Keep it up, THE STORM FRONT! MVP award for ANNA MAHL LAY? DA DOG POWNDAZ's
proud of her after beating NATION and getting 22 points. Talk about yer big time
losers! NATION got smashed by ANNA MAHL LAY, and lost 11 points! What a putz!
UBBA-SATHLA fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title.
No one said he was a genius... I hear the top team insists all their warriors get
nine hours sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? THE PLAGUE was the most avoided
team. Is a 411-368-24 record really that scary? Hhmph! What kind of warriors are
DA DOG POWNDAZ? THE PLAGUE, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them
to accept an invitation! Can WANDERERS' STRAY CAT be more popular than me? He was
challenged the most, but is that really the same?
Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other! Don't you guys ever give
it a break? Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be
a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it
quits. I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

N'Kai -- Young padwa, you have much to learn in the ways of the force. -- The Hand of
Dog
Stray Cat -- Dawg and Cat. ;-) -- Triple Dawg Dare
Moriancumer -- You may have just saved my hide from the night fights for another turn
or two! -- Dawg Tags
Reaper -- You're going to have to WORK to reclaim the top chartered career honors!
(bites your ankle) -- Marms
Triple Dawg Dare -- Oh, you want to see if I have THREE left feet? I assure you that
I don't, they wanted too much to install a third. -- Dancing Shadow
P.S. But perhaps if I were to do a conga-line thing....
English Bulldog -- If you should happen not to go to the Isle, or to return for a
visit, maybe we could go for a walk together sometime. -- Samara
Triple Dawg Dare -- If that isn't just LIKE a dog! Chase me around the arena, run me
up a tree, and bark! -- Stray Cat
Left 4 Dead -- Maybe so, but it doesn't seem to be working. You're tough. --
Loosefoot Larue
Way of the Wicked -- Hey, if I can dance a tango, you're little two-step is easy. --
Dancing Shadow
Hostage -- And what am I supposed to DO with you? Don't expect lunch! -- Gay
Deceiver
Finger -- At least you don't seem to be the Flying Fickle Finger of the Dirty Dog.
That would have been much worse. -- Lazarustic
P.S. And the fact that I made you work that long to defeat me is probably a good
sign, isn't it? Yeah, maybe I've got a knack for this gladiating stuff.
P.P.S. But you coulda taught me something.

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!
