TEAM SPOTLIGHT
ANTI-TP RANT II
(or "Ding Dong is wounded in the pelvis by Aimed Blow!")
Dream of slipping your staff smack between those two medium shields? (Shields--
what?) Live to rule all o' Alastari? Then get out from behind your walls (curtain).
An adroit offense is the best defense! And our Temple's martial aimed blow artist,
Monks, will reign at the world Tourneys. Think big! Big surf!
(Shields give a false sense of security. (Shields... what?) Shields are for
babies!)

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Some say even a blind warrior's sword finds the mark sometimes. Not this time!
I worked hard to get here!! Picking my opponents, and who to avoid, working on my
skills. Not easy, as we all know. North Fork is a hard throne to earn; keeping it,
even harder. Let us all drink to the finest warriors in the land!
Duelmaster Agoseris
SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for NORTH FORK. Too bad, DARQUE FORCES, but
PALINDROMES was just too good to be stopped. The guys at IRON LEGION like really
pulled together to get a 3-2-0 this turn, moving up by 9. What was the name of that
team who got 4-1-0 this turn for a total 657-408-23 you ask? (Sure) LAND OF OZ's
their name, and fighting's their game! MVP award for TOFU WARRIOR? VEGAN CANNIBALS'
proud of him after beating WILHELM SCREAM and getting 31 points. Talk about yer big
time losers! WILHELM SCREAM got smashed by TOFU WARRIOR, and lost 26 points! Oh,
wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular gal in all NORTH FORK. She got the
most challenges. (But what about proposals?) Like, EUREKA PRIDE must be pretty
gutsy! He challenged the Duelmaster from WARHAMMERS. Does this guy have a death
wish or what! Was that a tear I saw in EUREKA PRIDE's eye, as he took over
Duelmastership? And wasn't AGOSERIS fit to be tied! Is the Duelmaster really being
a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. AN EPHRAIM
was the most avoided team. Is a 199-264-19 record really that scary? Is there some
deep dark secret why LAND OF OZ's been avoiding AN EPHRAIM so much? Or is it just
that they're too scared?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All NORTH FORK ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Like, who is this guy??? TNT gets sent to the Dark Arena,
battles TOTO'S REVENGE, and returns to tell of it!!! I bet PALINDROMES manager is
surprised! Everyone has problems, but why did AN EPHRAIM send THE LOVE HOBBIT to the
Dark Arena? She had a 2-0-0, and I thought she looked neat on the sands... What a
bummer deal for TENSILE! He just barely was getting his "fighter feet" but got kill
by RAVAGE of OBSIDIAN ORDER! Those're the breaks, I guess. RAVAGE bloodfeuded (is
that a word?) TENSILE for revenge over some guy's bad fortune. Was it really worth
it? Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. I had
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

ME, Decise tactic, learns defense. +9 total, almost all in ini and par.
Warhammers, Agoseris -- You were Assur's third choice to avoid, even with two
contenders because he likes the B/AB style matchup. In this case, though, you
prevailed. Congrats on the throne. -- Racecar, who should be racing to immortality
this turn
Mandorallen -- The best way to deal with the Greatsword is to shatter it in your
opponent's hands. Otherwise, it does things like you saw. -- Party Trap

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!
