                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome DAL SHANG.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights 
have I fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with DIM LI?  
He actually beat DAL SHANG's SWEET ANELLA, and walked away with 17 more points from 
the fight.  Laughs were big at SAND DANCERS while they watched LEAPIN LIZARD clobber 
HEADROOM.  It lost 10 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  
What a role model for DAL SHANG's young 'uns!  VICINITY becomes Duelmaster, but don't 
bother to fight no more!  I'm sure DAL SHANG is excited about SPRANG, the new 
Duelmaster from TRILLIUM.  (remember?)  But when you've seen as many as I have...  
Wouldn't it be nice to have live subjects to practice on?  I hear some team is 
looking into the uses of convicted prisoners.   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...   
     A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing.  Some fighters 
don't accept this.  The best do.  Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover 
stupor.  You young rapscallions, take note!   
     Well, I'm pretty much through.  You guys need to get back practicing.  The end 
of another Spyreport!  That's cause for celebration in my book!  I don't want to 
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen

Headroom -- I suppose I should be glad you didn't go for my head. -- Bumblefinger, who 
bumbled enough parries

Roxy Music -- That would have been more fun if you'd been one of those women with legs 
all the way up. -- Dim Li
P.S.  I guess that counts as a bloodfeud, doesn't it?  Good.

Tasor Face -- And another random bloodfeud.  Weird but satisfying. -- Leapin Lizard

Sparrow -- Little Gray or Brown Birds are the worst kind. -- Purley Joe

Well, killing that standby was a surprise.  Who'd've thought it? -- Willi Dee

                        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:

          DM 96
          Slasher:        GEORGE WAHLEN of MEDAL OF HONOR 29 96-6436, 8-2-5
