                             Notes from the arena champ.

Salutations apes, this is Den.  Once again I will be speaking for Ookla, as is 
customary for Moks, he still does not speak the common language.  But, one thing he 
does know how to do is hold the throne here in Niytyole Hold.  I did not have to 
interpret the belly-laughs that rolled from him after killing Dwes Eg Salad last turn.  
Have you ever seen a Mok laugh?  It is quite a sight.  I cannot imagine how angry 
Shewish Diner is after losing their top warrior.  Man, that really sucks, but it 
pretty much sucks to be them anyway, so no great loss. 

Ookla did want to say, "Cahp Kuhlnd eq moht ivnmer befd" which is loosely interpreted 
to mean Golden Cap is going to have a lousy day tomorrow.

                                     More next week.

                                     Den

                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in NIYTYOLE HOLD!  I still haven't told Mom I'm 
writing Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  WHITE WOLVES had like a 
really albendranius week!  Those hunks got a 3-2-0 and wound up as 10th team!  Cut 
this out and put it in your scrapbooks, FAST FOOD!  'Cause they got 3-1-0 and moved 
up to 6th!  MVP award for HUMBUG?  LAND OF OZ's proud of him after beating HIPPSTER 
and getting 26 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  WHIPPED CREAM's match with 
DATABASE EDITOR cost her a loss of 15 points!  Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be 
the most popular guy in all NIYTYOLE HOLD.  He got the most challenges.  (But what 
about proposals?) Like, RUNNY LEGS must be pretty gutsy!  She Bloodfeuded the 
Duelmaster from BIG LAKE GROOVE.  Does this gal have a death wish or what!  This 
Duelmaster is like something else!  OOKLA THE MOK stopped RUNNY LEGS dead in hers 
tracks!  Who was the wiseguy that said NIYTYOLE HOLD's Duelmaster was paying for 
drinks at The Dripping Blade?  Don't look at me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  A'MERKIN INJUNS was NIYTYOLE HOLD's most avoided team.  Is there 
some award for that?  Hhmph!  What kind of warriors are WHITE WOLVES?  A'MERKIN 
INJUNS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't get them to accept an 
invitation!  Speaking of challenging 29 points above did you hear about STYLE CHANGER 
of BIG LAKE GROOVE vs. SHEWISH DINER's HOBO CASSEROLE?  (And how was that intro!) 
What did STYLE CHANGER expect, anyway!  Of course HOBO CASSEROLE won.  Next time 
stick to people you have a chance against, dummy!  Some fights are really unfair.  
How do you think HYPER AGGRESSIVE feels about being challenged by STEVE MIKE, 18 
points above him?  A lotta people lost a lotta money in a lotta bets, when STEVE MIKE 
challenged HYPER AGGRESSIVE, 18 points below and lost!  Send 'im to the Dark Arena!   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  What a bummer!  HIPPSTER got wasted by HUMBUG!  But with a 8-9-0, I 
guess STAR PRAIRIE aren't too bummed.  I was SO depressed when I heard SCAURUS got 
killed.  He was just a kid, and didn't get a fair chance in NIYTYOLE HOLD, or 
anything!  Like was that some Bloodfeud, or what?  (BROCK TULGREN vs. VARS FOLLEY, 
that is.) Hey you guys, don't you think your families would like to hear from you?  
Write!  (Or have someone write for you.)  
     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.  
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

                          BLOODGAMES AND MORE BLOODGAMES!

The Mail-in Bloodgames that were set to run at Face-to-Face 58 in January did not 
process because we had trouble with the warrior data for that arena.  Unfortunately, 
the warrior data was irretrievably lost.  We have credited everyone for those teams.

So here's what we're going to do:

We will hold a replacement Mail-in Bloodgames (DM 97) on June 17.  To participate,
submit your team (10 warriors, design-your-own, one of each style).  When we receive 
your team "rollup", we will send you back warrior overviews.  Your strategies for the 
Replacement Mail-in Bloodgames (DM 97) are due June 17.  We will process all ten 
rounds, one after another, and mail all results later that week.  The costs and 
Bloodgames rules will remain the same. 

In addition to this, we will also hold another Bloodgames (DM 95), but this one will 
process as a slow arena.  Design your teams in the same way:  10 warriors, design-
your-own, one warrior of each fighting style.  Managers may submit turn input each 
round for their warriors, similar to the Face-to-Face style Bloodgames (no challenges, 
only Bloodfeuds).  Your strategies for the first round of the Arena Bloodgames (DM 95) 
are due on June 24.  This arena will run ten rounds, once every four weeks.

The Summer Face-to-Face is coming up and we will hold the regularly scheduled Face-to-
Face style and Mail-in style Bloodgames there, as well.  We hope everyone will enjoy 
one or more of these Bloodgames arenas!

                        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:

  FTF-Style (DM 98):      for Face-to-Face attendees, with turn-by-turn strategies
  Mail-in-Style (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 are 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 the FTF-style bloodgames, there are no regular 
challenges, only bloodfeuds.  For the Mail-in arena, warriors may not change their 
strategy from round to round (to make it fair for those who could not attend the 
FTF).  There will be no DA challenges in either arena.

TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- If you are not attending the FTF, we must have your 
rollups and strategies by the Wednesday before the FTF, 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 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 ADM.  Astute managers will note that this means that 
three warriors that are designed from scratch will survive the Bloodgames, win one of 
the top three places, and go on to immortal glory!  One of those warriors 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!
