                             Notes from the arena champ.

Duelmaster's Column -- DM47

	Welcome to what should be a horde of new teams joining us for the
Turf War.     Hopefully, a bunch of us old Flushers can get out of here
before the competition gets too deep.

Tentenabulation
Royal Flush
Duelmaster of North Fork

                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in NORTH FORK!  I still haven't told Mom I'm 
writing Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  Like, ROYAL FLUSH had to 
be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by TRUMP IS HUGE!  Way to go TRUMP 
IS HUGE!  I couldn't believe it.  Did SATAN'S MINIONS really go up by 11?  If only 
those guys didn't have so may missing teeth...  Gross!  THE PURGE 209 had like a 
really albendranius week!  Those hunks got a 4-1-1 and wound up as 9th team!  See if 
I even talk to any of those losers in PAPER TIGERS S19.1 again!  Didja see where they 
got 2-3-0?  Somebody musta won a lotta fights!  Wanna hear about a real loser?  
Listen to this--FAST FOOD got 2-3-0 and dropped 11.  Didn't see much of them after 
the fights!  I couldn't believe it.  Did SPECTRAL STEEL really go up by 11?  If only 
those guys didn't have so may missing teeth...  Gross!  Cut this out and put it in 
your scrapbooks, BASH BROS PARK!  'Cause they got 4-1-0 and moved up to 18th!  MVP 
award for FLUNKY?  SATAN'S MINIONS' proud of him after beating MARMA THE DUKE and 
getting 25 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  BRUTUS got smashed by KLEGG 
HAII, and lost 22 points!  And I was just getting used to the ex-Duelmaster's habit 
of...(!)  Oh well, welcome EN FEUGO.  Aren't EL CAMINO:HOT SAUCE proud.  (Oh, my.) Is 
the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  ROYAL FLUSH was the most avoided team.  Is a 
1015-843-51 record really that scary?  Is there some deep dark secret why LAND OF 
OZ's been avoiding ROYAL FLUSH so much?  Or is it just that they're too scared?  
Like, is BRONTES popular, or what?  He was challenged the most in all of NORTH FORK!  
He's got a 4-9-0, is that good?  Some fights are really unfair.  How do you think GOB 
BLUTH feels about being challenged by CRYING KID, 58 points above him?  I was sorry 
to see such an unfair "fight" in NORTH FORK.  CRYING KID got 3 points after beating 
GOB BLUTH, 58 points below him.  See if I ever talk to MUY CALIENTE again!  RETURN OF 
THE KING was so low when It challenged it.  Hhmph!  Is this how EL CAMINO:HOT SAUCE 
advances, by having their members (MUY CALIENTE) fight people that are really below 
them (RETURN OF THE KING)?  RUMP ROAST is being unfair.  He's challenged down 19 
against MEK-QUAKE.  I don't know why they let this stuff go on.  (I'd better shut up) 
RUMP ROAST beat MEK-QUAKE.  No surprise about that.  Really I'm not surprised RUMP 
ROAST would do such a scummy thing, either.  Speaking of challenging 36 points above 
did you hear about LORD OF BARKNESS of REIGNNCATSNDOGS vs. LAND OF OZ's CHINA 
PRINCESS?  (And how was that intro!) CHINA PRINCESS defeated LORD OF BARKNESS, and 
was I surprised (right!).  But its a good thing CHINA PRINCESS could stop laughing 
long enough to give LORD OF BARKNESS a good pounding.   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  I was SO depressed when I heard HUGE WALL got killed.  He was just a 
kid, and didn't get a fair chance in NORTH FORK, or anything!  D'ya think ZANDER is 
feeling guilty for killing FAST FOOD's FRENCH TOAST, a mere boy?  Naah, I doubt 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.  
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes!  Chill out!  Later, Debby Tonte

                                WINTER BLOODGAMES 2021

Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new round of Bloodgames beginning at the 
Winter Mail-in!  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.  We will hold three different arenas:

  Mail-in-Style (DM 97):  One strategy for all ten rounds, due January 16.
                          This arena will process along with the winter mail-in.

  Regular Speed (DM 96):  Strategy changes allowed; bloodfeud challenges only. 
                          Turn 1 is due February 2 and turns process every 14 days. 

  Slow (DM 95):           Strategy changes allowed; bloodfeud challenges only. 
                          Turn 1 is due May 10 and turns process every 28 days. 

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.)
To submit your rollup, just write/type them up and send them in.  We'll mail or email
your overviews and you can write up your strategies. 

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 turn-based bloodgames (DM 96 and DM 95), there are 
no regular challenges, only bloodfeuds.  For the Mail-in style arena (DM 97), each 
warrior will have a single strategy for all ten rounds.  There will be no DA 
challenges in either arena.

TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- DM 97 is due January 16, DM 96 is due February 2, and
DM 95 is due May 10.  DM 97 will process along with the winter mail-in and the other 
two are turn-based and will process on a 14- and 28-day schedule respectively.  

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!
