                                      SPY REPORT

     Thankyouthankyou.  It's great for me, The Unknown Spymaster to be back in DAYLA 
KIV.  Hope you enjoy the show.  Oh, who am I kidding?  I already got paid!  We now 
have a new top team for all of you guys to dogpile on.  SAND DANCERS now holds the 
crown and they are betting they can keep it.  Hey everybody, watch out for OFF DAY, 
who flew up 12 points in the rankings after mashing PUSSYWILLOW like a melon.  Keep 
your eye on this guy.  Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands.  
PUSSYWILLOW was subdued by OFF DAY and drops 9 points.  Well, if ya don't shows up at 
the laundromat, ya can'ts wash yer clothes.  DET. NODDY did not fight this week so 
his title was forfeit.  It's a proud day for the BASH BROS MAILMAN stable, as their 
warrior, OFF DAY, ascended the Duelmaster's throne.  Advice to bashers--never force 
anything, just get a bigger halberd!   
     Here is other news that is of note.  And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't 
avoid SPROUT OF MY WAY!, please raise you hand.  Wow.  Does DAYLA KIV really have 
that many liars?  Okay, so I may not be funny, but catch BASH BROS MAILMAN's act in 
the arena.  Those acrobats seem to be fairly deft at running from SPROUT OF MY WAY!.  
     Death is kind of like a new puppy:  he's always around wanting to play.  (Ha 
Zontani, how's that for a wise saying?).  Remember:  alliances are great, but try and 
take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens.   
     I think I had better cut this one short.  It's been nice chatting to those of 
you whom I have not offended yet.  Okay, so I may not be the world's best comedian, 
but then you guys aren't the world's best warriors.  And remember, you can pick your 
friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The 
Unknown Spymaster

                        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:
