                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of SNOWBOUND!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  VALONQAR caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested PERSISTENT BEGGAR and was awarded 
16 points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, AZOR AHAI put 
down BUBBLE DANCER, causing her to lose 10 points of recognition in the process.  
This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper.  All hail INNUIT, Duelmaster of 
SNOWBOUND!  Informants "close" to the city champion have told me that he never fights 
without pantyhose on beneath his armor.  Watch out!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In SNOWBOUND "art" is a word that has 
long since passed from the language!   
     Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser?   Warriors, may this counselor stand 
ready at your right hand forever!  Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears 
arms.  One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy 
company nor savor the ale of thy fine city.  Depart I must and soon!  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

                        BLOODGAMES at the WINTER FACE-TO-FACE

Congratulations to the winners of the Winter 2019 Bloodgames!

We held two Bloodgames arenas at the Winter Face to Face:  

  FTF-Style (DM 96):      for Face-to-Face attendees, with turn-by-turn strategies
  Mail-in-Style (DM 97):  for all managers, with one strategy for all ten rounds

Each manager's Bloodgames team had ten warriors, one of each style, all attributes 
according to the manager's desire (84 points total).  After ten rounds of brutal 
battles, the Bloodgames Champions are the living warriors with the greatest number 
of kills (only one of each style in each arena).  These champions have been granted 
immortality and advanced to ADM!  The winners were:
