What's unbelievable is that it took me NINE MINUTES to put down that stupid Assassin. Naefan Ordh SPY REPORT Well, what are you looking at, DRAGONHEAD? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. If this keeps up, KIWI CONNECTION 12, you'll have to shine swords instead of use them. A drop of 6 in the rankings? MIDDLE WAY 9 turned their 2-3-0 turn into a 3rd place rank in the listings this turn. Any better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Gee, I'm impressed, a 3-0-0 is nice, but don't get cocky, BASH BROS MICROSOFT, the Fates teach humility, and the Fates are proud. Of course, we're all terribly impressed to see MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT win a fight and gain 21 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, BLACK HOLE SUN beat ANOTHER PROBLEM and ANOTHER PROBLEM lost 11 points. You're breakin' my heart. And if variety is the spice of life, DRAGONHEAD may be getting bland, as NAEFAN ORDH stays top dog in the city. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, DRAGONHEAD? My mother always told me, 'If you don't have anything nice to say, start talking.' I loved that woman. DRAGONHEAD, I am losing what little hope I had in you. ONE MAN BAND the most avoided team? What insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like BASH BROS LAWYER avoided them the most this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph. Ooh, I'm frightfully impressed, QUANTUM HICCUP was this turn's most challenged warrior. Watch that ego swell, sports fans. I notice BLOATWARE challenging down 23 points to fight QUANTUM HICCUP, BASH BROS MICROSOFT doubtless has some rotten excuse for such an insult to honor. And golly gee, BLOATWARE beat QUANTUM HICCUP. Aren't we all surprised and impressed? Ah, now we come to my favorite part, where we see all the guys who are dead and gone, and get to see if their team cared. Nipped in the bud, you might say, was INVITES HIS FRIENDS of BASH BROS MOUSE this turn. Course, I wouldn't say that, so much as have a belly laugh. Heh heh. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is developing these kinds of weapons? There's got to be a better place in DRAGONHEAD to get a drink than The Warty Toad! Any suggestions? Well, I've had enough of this drivel, and I'm sure you have too. Off like a dirty shirt of padded leather. Paste this one in your scrapbooks, you'll need the kindling come this winter-- Snide Clemens DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME NAEFAN ORDH 6396 26 8 0 91 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LOUIE MURH 6395 20 14 0 74 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) -UM-PAH 6270 6 4 0 70 ONE MAN BAND (684) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME RONARDA SOLA 6461 13 9 1 62 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) ALICE 6392 10 14 0 62 LHC (705) -PIATARBAJO 6267 6 0 0 59 ONE MAN BAND (684) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BORROWS MONEY 6657 4 0 0 54 BASH BROS FRIEND (753) KEEP AWAY 6700 4 0 0 54 BASH BROS SOCCER (762) MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT 6527 4 0 2 51 BASH BROS CRICKET (727) ON HOLD 6556 4 0 3 48 B B TECH SUPPORT (733) CANCELLED APPT 6575 4 0 0 48 BASH BROS HAIRCUT (737) UNEVEN 6574 4 0 1 46 BASH BROS HAIRCUT (737) WE ARE BORG 6548 4 0 1 45 BASH BROS MICROSOFT (731) FREELOADER 6654 4 0 0 45 BASH BROS FRIEND (753) FILING FEE 6539 4 0 0 44 BASH BROS LAWYER (730) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME OVERRIPE 6630 3 1 0 43 BASH BROS FRUITSTAND (748) DRUNK FAN 6699 4 0 0 42 BASH BROS SOCCER (762) TOO SHORT 6578 3 1 1 42 BASH BROS HAIRCUT (737) VIRUS 6547 3 1 1 41 BASH BROS MICROSOFT (731) ESL 6558 4 0 0 40 B B TECH SUPPORT (733) RAW 6491 4 0 0 40 EGGS (722) BOARD MEETINGS 6706 4 0 0 40 B B LITTLE LEAGUE (763) SLOWGOS 6584 4 0 1 39 BASH BROS FAST FOOD (739) CRAWL SPACE 6525 4 0 0 39 BASH BROS CRICKET (727) SERVED 6540 4 0 0 34 BASH BROS LAWYER (730) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LATE CHARGES 6664 4 0 0 33 BASH BROS LIBRARY (755) OVERPRICED 6631 3 1 0 33 BASH BROS FRUITSTAND (748) BLOATWARE 6544 4 0 0 31 BASH BROS MICROSOFT (731) BLACK HOLE SUN 6518 4 5 0 30 LHC (705) -BRUCE 6416 3 1 0 29 KIWI CONNECTION 12 (710) NO SCORE 6702 3 1 0 28 BASH BROS SOCCER (762) HUMPING LEG 6637 3 1 0 27 BASH BROS DOG (749) HOME OF THE SLOPPER 6586 2 2 0 27 BASH BROS FAST FOOD (739) -STUMP FIDDLE 6266 7 5 0 26 ONE MAN BAND (684) BOOK LOST 6666 4 0 0 26 BASH BROS LIBRARY (755) VEVUZELA 6701 3 1 0 25 BASH BROS SOCCER (762) BOOGER KING 6588 4 0 0 24 BASH BROS FAST FOOD (739) MY KID SITS 6705 3 1 1 24 B B LITTLE LEAGUE (763) 2 YEAR CONTRACT 6552 3 1 1 24 BB SMART PHONE (732) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME PAY PER SECOND 6542 2 0 0 23 BASH BROS LAWYER (730) -WATER 5907 4 1 0 22 LIQUIDS (652) -DICE 6384 1 0 0 21 DREW'S BOYS (704) CEREAL DROPPINGS 6529 4 0 0 20 BASH BROS MOUSE (728) 'ESTIMATE' 6770 3 1 0 19 BASH BROS AUTO SHOP (776) BUYING INNOCENCE 6543 2 2 0 18 BASH BROS LAWYER (730) CHICKEN 4347 3 1 0 17 MCDONALD'S FARM (489) -LEGO 6383 1 0 0 17 DREW'S BOYS (704) ROTTING 6633 3 1 0 16 BASH BROS FRUITSTAND (748) ANOTHER PROBLEM 6773 3 1 1 14 BASH BROS AUTO SHOP (776) SLOW EXPERIMENT 6811 2 2 0 14 LHC (705) -DOWNLOAD UPDATES 6546 1 0 1 14 BASH BROS MICROSOFT (731) -WILDING 6419 2 0 0 13 KIWI CONNECTION 12 (710) -CHECKED OUT 6668 1 0 0 13 BASH BROS LIBRARY (755) -WHO IS PAYING? 6771 1 0 0 13 BASH BROS AUTO SHOP (776) TWEED 6422 0 1 0 11 KIWI CONNECTION 13 (711) -HARMONICA 6268 2 4 0 10 ONE MAN BAND (684) -BELLE VUE 6418 1 1 0 8 KIWI CONNECTION 12 (710) VARDON WEISS 6813 1 2 0 5 MIDDLE WAY 9 (706) SORSFIELD 6424 0 1 0 5 KIWI CONNECTION 13 (711) QUANTUM HICCUP 6789 0 4 0 4 LHC (705) -FIDDLE 6302 0 1 0 1 ONE MAN BAND (684) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

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. There will be two different arenas: DM 96: for Face-to-Face attendees, with turn-by-turn strategies, and DM 97: for all managers, with one strategy for all ten rounds 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 is 84 points, 3-21, as usual.) 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 DM 96, there no regular challenges, only bloodfeuds. For DM 97, warriors may not change their strategy from round to round (to make it fair for those who could not attend the F-t-F). There will be no DA challenges. TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- If you are not attending the FTF, we must have your rollups and strategies by Wednesday, January 11, else they are due by 9pm on Friday, at the hotel. The Bloodgames will process at the FTF with the regular tournament. 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 surviving 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 A.D. Astute managers will note that this means a slim, but possible chance that a warrior designed from scratch will survive the Bloodgames, win one of the top three places, and go on to glory in A.D. That warrior 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!
