                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for NORTH FORK.  Like, ROYAL FLUSH had to be 
so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1 spot by THE PURGE 209!  Way to go THE 
PURGE 209!  Uncool, BIG LAKE GROOVE.  I mean 1-1-0 is bad.  Will they will be allowed 
to fight?  I say use 'em for training practice!  DOWNWARD SPIRAL like really fought 
hard to move up to 15th from 21st.  Way to go!  One team deserves special mention 
'cause they moved up 2 after going 4-1-0.  Keep it up, LAND OF OZ!  MVP award for 
SIXSHOT?  DARQUE FORCES' proud of it after beating STABBERS and getting 25 points.  
Talk about yer major upsets!  SMOKE KING HOT's match with CAPTURED ORC cost him a 
loss of 22 points!  Like, THE WHISPER must be pretty gutsy!  He Bloodfeuded the 
Duelmaster from DARQUE FORCES.  Does this guy have a death wish or what!  This 
Duelmaster is like something else!  SHOCKWAVE stopped THE WHISPER dead in his tracks! 
I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep.  They want 
photogenic fighters for PR photos.   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  LAND OF OZ was NORTH FORK's most avoided team.  Is 
there some award for that?  Is there some deep dark secret why DARQUE FORCES' been 
avoiding LAND OF OZ so much?  Or is it just that they're too scared?  Can FAST FOOD's 
FORBIDDEN FRUIT be more popular than me?  She was challenged the most, but is that 
really the same?  For sure, I was holding my breath when I found out POPPY challenged 
BURN.  After all, haven't LAND OF OZ and THE PURGE 209 had a long standing duel in 
NORTH FORK?  It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but BURN wants me to write 
about it since he was bested by POPPY.  Satisfied?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All NORTH FORK ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  I hear LAND OF OZ sent TESTIMONIAL to the Dark Arena.  What, 
is that like not well-lit, or what?  Hey!  Quit laughing!  Just because HUNTSMAN had 
4-8-0 was no reason for BOOK OF THOMAS to send him to the Dark Arena!  Stop it!  What 
a bunch of heartless!  I couldn't believe how many people were snickering when 
SIXSHOT killed STABBERS.  So he had a 10-7-0, that's no excuse!  What a bummer!  
GERMANICUS got wasted by BOOTLICKER!  But with a 6-7-0, I guess WHITE WOLVES aren't 
too bummed.  It was kind of sad, seeing old RAVAGE stumbling around the arena, before 
GRATILLONIUS finished him off.  Oh well!  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.  I had 
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

                                NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA

     Algernon, who had NOT gotten the name change he'd asked for, looked at the latest 
petitioner.  This was a typical gladiator, big, muscular, and scarred, with a frown.  
"Ah, what can I do for you?"
     "Name change.  I heard we can do that.  I'm tired of being Jane Doe."
     "I'd think you would be," Algernon said faintly.  "The Commission has actually 
been thinking about this.  It isn't FREE, mind you!  It takes money to run our office, 
you know, and we want to buy some goats--"
     "I don't care about goats!"  He made a crude suggestion about goats.
     "Or maybe chickens. Or bees--" Algernon took a quick step back at the look on the 
rough warrior's face. "Yes, a name change.  Right away, sir.  We can do that.  
Gladiators, teams, it will cost you two dollars to make a change--"
     "I had a talk with my manager.  He'll find the money.  I want to change my name 
to Jane Ralph.  I'm no doe!"  He thumped a fist on the counter.
     "Er, yes.  Jane Ralph.  Fill out this form, please."  He pushed the paper across 
the counter.  "The changes start on the 15th of April--that's the Ides, you know, and 
can be submitted through the end of May.  With the payment.  No change without the 
goat, ah, the gold."

                                  *   *   *   *   *  

     Warrior and team name changes will be accepted beginning April 15 and continuing 
throughout the month of May.  The cost will be $2 per name change.  All proceeds will 
be used to buy goats via Heifer International and will be matched up to $500.  
If you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI

                                WINTER BLOODGAMES 2022

Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new slow Bloodgames mailed arena 
beginning in late April.  We also plan our usual Bloodgames arenas at the summer Face-
to-Face.  

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.  Here are the particulars: 

  Slow Bloodgames (DM 95):    	Turn 1 is due Weds April 27 
                                Turns process every 28 days
	                        Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only 
          
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 DYOs (design your owns) with 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 this turn-based bloodgames, there are no regular 
challenges, only bloodfeuds.  There will be no DA challenges in either arena.

TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- DM 95 is due April 27 and will process on a 28-day 
schedule.  

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!
