                                      SPY REPORT

     I was going on vacation, see?  Surf, sun...  But what do those bums say?  "Hit 
the road, Debby Tonte.  ERINIKA needs a spyreport."  Oh, well.  Too bad, SWORD HEROES 
3, but BILLIONS was just too good to be stopped.  SWORD HEROES 5 had like a really 
albendranius week!  Those hunks got a 1-0-0 and wound up as 3rd team!  I couldn't 
believe it.  Did MY FAULT really go up by 20?  If only those guys didn't have so may 
missing teeth...  Gross!  Wanna hear about a real loser?  Listen to this--LUDUS 
MAGNUS XIX got 0-1-0 and dropped 13.  Didn't see much of them after the fights!  
Really, just how far can one team drop in one round?  DYNASTY WARIORS III dropped 13, 
which I think's more than all the other teams combined!  See if I even talk to any of 
those losers in DYNASTY WARRIORS SHU again!  Didja see where they got 0-1-0?  
Somebody musta won a lotta fights!  Really, just how far can one team drop in one 
round?  SWORD HEROES 6 dropped 14, which I think's more than all the other teams 
combined!  Wanna hear about a real loser?  Listen to this--SWORD HEROES 8 got 0-1-0 
and dropped 18.  Didn't see much of them after the fights!  Really, just how far can 
one team drop in one round?  EASTERN HORDE 4 dropped 16, which I think's more than 
all the other teams combined!  See if I even talk to any of those losers in SWORD 
HEROES 7 again!  Didja see where they got 0-1-0?  Somebody musta won a lotta fights!  
MVP award for ZOPHIEL?  JUDGEMENT 16's proud of it after beating MECH X-4 and getting 
28 points.  Talk about yer big time losers!  MECH X-4 got smashed by ZOPHIEL, and 
lost 23 points!  Oh, wow, like the Duelmaster must be the most popular guy in all 
ERINIKA.  He got the most challenges.  (But what about proposals?) AXE thinks his 
12-2-1 and studly character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster.  Any bets?  
Was that a tear I saw in AXE's eye, as he took over Duelmastership?  And wasn't 
BESTIARII fit to be tied!  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his 
teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway?  It can't be for these 
really neat Spyreports can it?  The warriors of JUDGEMENT 14 must be getting lonely.  
They were the most avoided team.  Do you guys know something that I don't?  I don't 
know what BILLIONS' been doing.  They certainly haven't been accepting many fights 
from JUDGEMENT 14, that's fer sher.  People were asking me did BONE DRY REALLY 
challenge ISHTAR?  (all right, maybe they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a 
spectacular fight, or anything, but ISHTAR wants me to write about it since she 
bested BONE DRY.  Satisfied?   
     Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds.  All ERINIKA ever talks about is fighting!  
Me, I'm more laid back.  What a bummer!  GEATLET got wasted by DEATHOFASALESLLAMA!  
But with a 10-8-0, I guess SWORD HEROES 8 aren't too bummed.  Fight, fight, fight.  
Is that all you guys can do?   
     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.  I had 
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte

                                SUMMER BLOODGAMES 2024

Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new slow Bloodgames mailed arena 
beginning in August. 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.  The Bloodgames are coming! 

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: 

  Face-to-Face style          Turn 1 is due Fri July 12 at 9pm at the hotel
  Bloodgames (DM 98):         Turns process with the tournament 
	                      Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only 

  Mail-in style               Turn 1 is due Sat July 13 at 9pm at the hotel
  Bloodgames (DM 99):         All turns process overnight, mail-in style.
	                      No strategy changes; all ten rounds process one
                              after the other and results will be out Sun morning.
 
  Slow Bloodgames (DM 95):    Turn 1 is due Thurs August 1 
                              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. Your 
warriors must be created and have strategies entered by the first due date. 

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 the turn-based bloodgames, there are no regular 
challenges, only bloodfeuds.  There will be no DA challenges in any of the bloodgames 
arenas.

TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- DM 95 is due August 1 and will process on a 28-day 
schedule.  The other two bloodgames arenas will be processed at the summer Face-to-
Face. (Note: there will also be bloodgames at the next winter FTF.)

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 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 three 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.  

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 and Victors will receive Bloodgames T-shirts.

A Bloodgames T-shirt will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most kills.T-
shirts will only happen if someone gives us a nice design. One shirt per person.

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!
