                                      SPY REPORT

     Greetings warriors!  It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the 
clash and bustle of the weekly ERINIKA games.  The proverbial rising comet can only 
hope to compare with ROUTE 71's team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 
10th place ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of KIWI CONNECTION 
13.  How else weeks like this one's 1-0-1?  How else the sudden move to 11th team?  
My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This 
week LUDUS MAGNUS XIX went 0-1-0 and fell 11 notches into 13th!  LUDUS MAGNUS XV bore 
the brunt of major assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 14th 
position as the result of going 0-1-0!  The proverbial rising comet can only hope to 
compare with OCTANS' team record!  A 1-0-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 17th place 
ranking.  I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of ROUTE 86.  How else weeks 
like this one's 1-0-0?  How else the sudden move to 24th team?  My tutors were fond 
of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall.  This week MYTHOS 7 went 
0-1-0 and fell 12 notches into 30th!  OLYMPIC caught the eye of many in the 
gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested MENKALINAN and was awarded 25 points 
in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, CRIXUS put down DON 
CRESCENT, causing him to lose 21 points of recognition in the process.  The city has 
turned out in honor of MEAT, for with his arena victory he may now lay claim to the 
highest position in the city!  Heed this!  A seer has warned that if exactly 6 die in 
duels this week, the whole city shall perish!  Just remember...5 or 7!   
     Many and various are the arts of battle.  In ERINIKA "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!  My sources at DREW'S BOYS stable claim they've 
never seen the guild bitterer.  This as a result of the untimely demise of CRANKY.  
Beware RHASKOS!  Dark alleys may hide both secrets and assassins.  In the arena there 
is only the brightness of steel.  Keep vigil always!   
     If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times 
already in ERINIKA.  Nice atmosphere you have here!  More than a sharp eye must I 
keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well!  The endless paths of Alastari 
await me!  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

                                NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA

     Algernon, who had NOT gotten the name change he'd asked for, looked at the latest 
petitioner.  This was a typical gladiator, big, muscular, and scarred, with a frown.  
"Ah, what can I do for you?"
     "Name change.  I heard we can do that.  I'm tired of being Jane Doe."
     "I'd think you would be," Algernon said faintly.  "The Commission has actually 
been thinking about this.  It isn't FREE, mind you!  It takes money to run our office, 
you know, and we want to buy some goats--"
     "I don't care about goats!"  He made a crude suggestion about goats.
     "Or maybe chickens. Or bees--" Algernon took a quick step back at the look on the 
rough warrior's face. "Yes, a name change.  Right away, sir.  We can do that.  
Gladiators, teams, it will cost you two dollars to make a change--"
     "I had a talk with my manager.  He'll find the money.  I want to change my name 
to Jane Ralph.  I'm no doe!"  He thumped a fist on the counter.
     "Er, yes.  Jane Ralph.  Fill out this form, please."  He pushed the paper across 
the counter.  "The changes start on the 15th of April--that's the Ides, you know, and 
can be submitted through the end of May.  With the payment.  No change without the 
goat, ah, the gold."

                                  *   *   *   *   *  

     Warrior and team name changes will be accepted beginning April 15 and continuing 
throughout the month of May.  The cost will be $2 per name change.  All proceeds will 
be used to buy goats via Heifer International and will be matched up to $500.  
If you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI

                                WINTER BLOODGAMES 2022

Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new slow Bloodgames mailed arena 
beginning in late April.  We also plan our usual Bloodgames arenas at the summer Face-
to-Face.  

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.  Here are the particulars: 

  Slow Bloodgames (DM 95):    	Turn 1 is due Weds April 27 
                                Turns process every 28 days
	                        Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only 
          
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 are DYOs (design your owns) with 84 
points, 3-21, as usual.) To submit your rollup, just write/type them up and send them 
in.  We'll mail or email your overviews and you can write up your strategies. 

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 this turn-based bloodgames, there are no regular 
challenges, only bloodfeuds.  There will be no DA challenges in either arena.

TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- DM 95 is due April 27 and will process on a 28-day 
schedule.  

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 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 ADM.  Astute managers will note that this means that 
three warriors that are designed from scratch will survive the Bloodgames, win one of 
the top three places, and go on to immortal glory!  One of those warriors 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!
