                                      SPY REPORT

     If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of 
NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too.  Later days, LAW DOGS, 
since DARQUE FORCES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news.  Now 
keep the taverns open late tonight, for there are sorrows to drown for INTERNATIONAL, 
whose 0-0-0 this turn dropped them by 4 into 7th.  Ha!  DARQUE FORCES 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 WAR 
MAIDEN win a fight and gain 19 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, DARQUE WIZARD beat POISON 
IV and POISON IV lost 17 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Going for broke or 
broken, our Duelmaster BLOOD CATCHER Dark Arena Challenged this turn.  And if variety 
is the spice of life, NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON may be getting bland, as FOMO stays top dog 
in the city.  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, NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON?   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  
INTERNATIONAL, 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 it looks like EVERYTHING 
MAGIK avoided them the most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask 
me.  Hmph.  Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, POISON IV was this turn's most challenged 
warrior.  Watch that ego swell, sports fans.  And we have ILL-MAGUS in a challenge, 
going down 11 points for the fight.  Guess what?  I thought ILL-MAGUS showed great 
skill and promise when he was beat by RAINBOW BYTE.  All right, so I slept through 
it!  Big deal!   
     Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals.  I volunteer for NIGHT 
SLAUGHTERTON's morgue.  More variety.  YUPPIE HORDE has cause to pause today, as FOMO 
was sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll 
wager.  Gee, SIMPLETONS, ain't it past due for sending BIG DUMMY Dark Arena?  What 
took ol' '5-12-0' so long?  Hope?  Ha ha aha ha!  It's about time POISON IV got beat 
for picking on warriors like DARQUE WIZARD.  Bravo, EVERYTHING MAGIK.  See you at The 
Shadow's Fountain.  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 NIGHT SLAUGHTERTON to get a drink than The 
Shadow's Fountain!  Any suggestions?  Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm 
sure you have too.  Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather.  Glad to see the back 
of this place-- Snide Clemens

                        BLOODGAMES at the WINTER FACE-TO-FACE

Congratulations to the winners of the Winter 2019 Bloodgames!

We held two Bloodgames arenas at the Winter Face to Face:  

  FTF-Style (DM 96):      for Face-to-Face attendees, with turn-by-turn strategies
  Mail-in-Style (DM 97):  for all managers, with one strategy for all ten rounds

Each manager's Bloodgames team had ten warriors, one of each style, all attributes 
according to the manager's desire (84 points total).  After ten rounds of brutal 
battles, the Bloodgames Champions are the living warriors with the greatest number 
of kills (only one of each style in each arena).  These champions have been granted 
immortality and advanced to ADM!  The winners were:
