                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  DRAGONHEAD needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Uncool, BASH BROS 
SPRING.  I mean 0-0-0 is bad.  Will they will be allowed to fight?  I say use 'em for 
training practice!  SELLSWORDS IV like really fought hard to move up to 10th from 
17th.  Way to go!  One team deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 1 after 
going 3-0-0.  Keep it up, BASH BROS ROADSIDE!  MVP award for REDJOHN?  SELLSWORDS 
IV's proud of him after beating LEMON and getting 17 points.  Talk about yer major 
upsets!  SPARTAN's match with PROJECT A cost him a loss of 10 points!  What a putz!  
OUT OF BATTERIES fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the 
title.  No one said he was a genius...  And I was just getting used to the 
ex-Duelmaster's habit of...(!)  Oh well, welcome AMWAY.  Aren't BASH BROS MLM proud.  
(Oh, my.) Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask me! 
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!!  BAD SPECIAL EFFECTS returns from the 
Dark Arena, maybe a "little upset" at his BASH BROS B-MOVIES teammates...  Like, who 
is this guy???  TWO FOR ONE gets sent to the Dark Arena, battles WURM KIN, and 
returns to tell of it!!!  I bet BB INFOMERCIAL manager is surprised!  I hear SPACE 
ACTION 99 sent GORGOLLA to the Dark Arena.  What, is that like not well-lit, or what? 
What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!   
     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.  Its 
been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

                        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 
          Parry-Lunge:    IMA PLUNGER of WIRA TEAM 96-6399, 8-2-5
          Striker:        HOMINY of CORN DOGS 96-6775, 8-2-4

          DM 97
          Wall-of-Steel:  GET MARRIED of GAMBLING 2 97-7204, 8-2-5
