DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Is it better to have a winning record, or sit on the throne? I say take one
fight at a time, learn skills, and drink all you want! Enjoy it as it comes for the
next fight may be your last. Once again the world is set right--A Warhammer is
Duelmaster again! -- Rois Anin
SPY REPORT
Greetings warriors! It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the
clash and bustle of the weekly TEMPLE OF ABARSIS games. Former top team THE MIDDLE
WAY 3 was unseated this week as DEVIATION moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top
spot with a 4-1-1 record for the round. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part
of LOST HONOR. How else weeks like this one's 5-0-0? How else the sudden move to
5th team? Fortune did not smile upon THE MIDDLE WAY 3 this time out who this turn
suffered a fall into 9th position in the wake of a 0-5-0 round. Did only my eyes
note the 4-1-0 record which MANEGERIAL MAYHEM managed to post this round? I don't
doubt that such a record will draw challengers! SPAWING OF SPEWN caught the eye of
many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested RONDOL QUIGLO and was
awarded 21 points in recognition. This time out BOGBANE made his bid for the throne
as he challenged ROIS ANIN in an all out contest of skill for possession of the
title! This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail BOGBANE,
Duelmaster of TEMPLE OF ABARSIS! Heed this! A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die
in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just remember...5 or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city TEMPLE OF ABARSIS. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this
week's challenge seeking began. ABYSMAL RITES is feared. This much I can say.
Apparently the stalwarts of LAND OF OZ are catching the bulk of jests down at the
challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Mighty fighters cannot but
expect competition from those below. TUUMS take warning! You have more than a few
enemies in TEMPLE OF ABARSIS. Give SARAPHINE credit for hers courage. Did you note
how she challenged SENSEI SAN despite the 26 point difference in their rankings? 2
points of newly earned recognition and a dose of my admiration is what SARAPHINE must
now weigh against the defeat which resulted. A match that raised a few eyebrows at
the games this week, it seems that BALDER posted a challenge against the more highly
recognized KISS OF DEATH. The results, you ask? Well, the firebrand BALDER subdued
KISS OF DEATH. Remember warriors, this is the discipline of steel.
Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more
than its fair share of red in recent times. The warrior's path is harsh. For
mediocrity there is but one reward--death. This past week LEET STREEGLE, at 8-8-0,
departed TEMPLE OF ABARSIS forever. Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.
In the arena there is only the brightness of steel. Keep vigil always!
A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise
manager learn the secrets of them all? More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a
stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me!
Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise
are angered by the same thing only once. Zontani Sharp Eyes

Oz The All Proud (but not of the dead one!)
Good bye and congrats, Vynmorgath. -- Oz The All Happy
Congratulations Rois Anin; do it again! -- Oz The All Congratulatory
The Blizzarr -- A great 4-1-1 and 53 big points?! Nice entry! Welcome to North
Fork. May your stay be long and fruitful. -- Oz The All Welcoming
Fruitful is good. I'm partial to raspberries, myself. -- Arenamaster Okel
Lost Honor -- We are glad to have you here in North Fork. Good luck to you. -- Oz
The All Thankful
Where, oh where, have the personals gone? Turf War winners are REQUIRED to keep the
personals burning. What a bunch of bozos. (wink) -- Oz The All Wondering
Hilroc Ibbins -- I had my way with you. I appreciate your being nice to Quadlings.
Really! -- Quadling
TIME FOR THE NEXT TURF WAR. Get ready to rumble. Oz and Master Darque are in
discussions, reorganizations, and negotiations. -- The Land Of Oz Free Press
Alaskan Pipeline -- I regret what happened to you, comrade in the arena. I did not
want Kodiak Kid's death on my conscious and I know we all hae takin' an oath to
become a gladiator is to make a pack with death, I ask that one day you can forgive
for that. -- Cobra
P.S. May Kodiak Kid cheer his brothers in from the afterlife.
Daster Marque -- Dell wone fy mriend. -- Judgement Day
Agoseris -- <big ol' wet smooch> -- Kiss of Death
Eureka Pride -- Vanquished in one minute!!! I want to slit my wrists. -- Suicide
Blind
Crister Moffee -- I think it's safe to say I ate you up and spat you out! -- Kana
Ballistic
Spawning of Spewn -- I think I need to wash mythelf after thimply thinking about your
name. <does the thiver/thakes> -- Thadithtic Lithper
To those of you who like crunchy numbers, a new curlique on the Sandbagger
Hypothesis. You probably already know this, but just in case: Current evidence in
my possession suggests that having more than fifty fights won't force graduation if
you don't have fourteen wins. Then, you run to one hundred fights, if you can live
that long, and graduate willy-nilly. But if you do have the wins and are missing
something else (the gods know what, maybe a second rating), it *looks* like fifty
fights will top you out. -- Jorja, reading over today's turns
Quadling -- I'd rather lose (but not die) than be named that. It just sounds...
contemptable. Probably all an illusion, but there it is. -- Hilroc "call me biased"
Ibbins
Rois Anin -- Glad to pass the title to you. I'm sure you deserve it. -- Rondol
Quiglo
Scomsss's Nightmare -- Gods, imagine if the announcer lisped! -- Nin Quire
Talkeetna -- With a name like that, you should be taller. No one comments on an
unusual name if you can loom impressively. -- Sonny Urk
And a Captured Orc. Ah... okay. What do I do with him? -- Velma Xavil
Suicide Blind -- Surely you could use challenges or avoids to prevent other matches
with me. It wasn't *MY* doing. -- Sonny Urk
Our congratulations to Vynmorgath. -- Jorja and the Middle Way
And a salute to the tourney participants. -- Jorja and the Middle Way

BLOODGAMES at the SUMMER FACE-TO-FACE
Back by popular demand, we will be having Bloodgames at the Summer 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 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!
