                             Notes from the arena champ.

YAY! I made it. I AM Immortal!!!!!!!!! (Exclamation points are well used on our team.) 
Here I am:

15-11-9-17-9-12-11 poor/good. I yet know not my faves, and I really don't care! All I 
care about is that I am outta here! 

And Exclamation Points, I like exclamation points!

                                          -- YAY, DMIII

                                      SPY REPORT

     Well, what are you looking at, AMEN-TEI?  Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens 
before?  Ah, shaddup and listen to my news.  Of course, we're all terribly impressed 
to see MR RIGHT HANDED win a fight and gain 9 points, terribly.  Tsk, tsk, MR RIGHT 
HANDED beat SUPERIOR and SUPERIOR lost 2 points.  You're breakin' my heart.  Due to 
absence, and inability to defend the throne, YAY has lost the Title of Duelmaster.  
Start setting that alarm earlier!  And it's out with the old, in with the new, as NOT 
A CHANCE takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster.  Heh, heh.  
Kickbacks and bribes, kickbacks and bribes, how else do you think some of these guys 
win their fights?  Skill?  Ha!   
     He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward.  TAXES, 
I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided team.  Care to 
know who is the most afraid of you?  And it looks like EXCLAMATION! avoided them the 
most this turn.  What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me.  Hmph.   
     Death and Taxes.  The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience.  Let's 
see if anyone's dead or dying.  We're all going to die in the end, so why worry if 
the fate catches up with you sooner that later?   
     I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for 
an epee.  Forgive me for writing with a dagger.  Phlllt!  Just had to do that before 
I leave the fine city of AMEN-TEI.  I feel much better now.  Paste this one in your 
scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens

                        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:
