                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in BLACKSTONE a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets 
poor.  So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  I understand that The 
Welcome Wench is buying the drinks for ROOKIE CRUE 6 tonight, to honor their rise to 
3rd after this turns 1-0-0.  Hmmm.  Now, what did these guys have for breakfast this 
morning?  THIS HOTEL BLOWS has turned a 1-0-0 into 6th place from 26th.  Give me the 
recipe!  I want to know who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The Welcome Wench, 
seeing as BEER BEFORE BEER's 17-12-0 has earned them 10th place in the ranks.  Now, 
what did these guys have for breakfast this morning?  APRIL MAIL-IN 14S has turned a 
1-0-0 into 11th place from 41st.  Give me the recipe!  I understand that The Welcome 
Wench is buying the drinks for THIRSTY THUGS 1302 tonight, to honor their rise to 
12th after this turns 1-0-0.  Hmmm.  I want to know who's buying the drinks for who 
tonight at The Welcome Wench, seeing as ERROR M's 9-9-0 has earned them 13th place in 
the ranks.  Our condolences (or sneers, as the case may be) go out to DARKHEART 
DUNGEON for their drop to 17th from 5th.  A 1-1-0 can do that.  ERR9 must be either 
in pain, or numb, having dropped from 12th to 34th this turn, with a 0-1-0 acting as 
the weight.  It doesn't rain, but it pours for ROOKIE METALLICA 1 this turn, a 0-1-0 
causing a 23 flight drop in the team rankings.  Hand that team a dry towel.  And 
let's see, THE LAW fought SKOACH and gained 122 points and contributed to VIDEO GAME 
HS2's 1-0-0.  ENTER SANDMAN has lost to RIMGARR, falling 9 points, while helping make 
ROOKIE METALLICA 8 a 0-1-0 turn.  This turn PATELLA HEADSET challenged MORGANOR in 
what was BLACKSTONE's Title bout.  Defending hers title for another turn, PATELLA 
HEADSET kept 102ND DIRE LANCERS' warrior, MORGANOR, from claiming the throne.  Can 
someone confirm a rumor for me?  I hear the top team makes their losing fighters do 
dishes at The Welcome Wench until they win.  Maybe?   
     He who challenges well, fights well.  He who avoids without cause, shall lose 
for good reasons.  My mama told me that one.  I also notice that the SUPERIOR FORCES 
72 stable was the most avoided team this turn.  Come on BLACKSTONE, what are you 
afraid of?  And guess who avoided SUPERIOR FORCES 72 stable the most?  Believe it or 
not, it was 042909N.  Anyone surprised?  The most challenged warrior this turn was 
102ND DIRE LANCERS' warrior MORGANOR.  More fighters challenged him than challenged 
the Duelmaster!  In a fit of brilliance or of stupidity (hard to say sometimes), 
SOUND SHOWGIRL challenged HTN today, facing a 38 difference in recognition.  And now 
nobody knows where HTN is right now, after giving SOUND SHOWGIRL 15 points worth of 
recognition.  As quiet chuckles rise behind me.   
     A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once.  Wise men know this to 
be true.  A brave warrior does not carry a red shield, he has nothing to cover or 
hide when the fight is over.  Consider well.   
     I like this place, BLACKSTONE, the taverns have old wine, and young serving 
girls.  Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet 
again, keep your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until you see my quill in 
BLACKSTONE again, farewell-- Alarond the Scribe

                                WINTER BLOODGAMES 2021

Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new round of Bloodgames beginning at the 
Winter Mail-in!  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.  We will hold three different arenas:

  Mail-in-Style (DM 97):  One strategy for all ten rounds, due January 16.
                          This arena will process along with the winter mail-in.

  Regular Speed (DM 96):  Strategy changes allowed; bloodfeud challenges only. 
                          Turn 1 is due February 2 and turns process every 14 days. 

  Slow (DM 95):           Strategy changes allowed; bloodfeud challenges only. 
                          Turn 1 is due May 10 and turns process every 28 days. 

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 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 the turn-based bloodgames (DM 96 and DM 95), there are 
no regular challenges, only bloodfeuds.  For the Mail-in style arena (DM 97), each 
warrior will have a single strategy for all ten rounds.  There will be no DA 
challenges in either arena.

TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- DM 97 is due January 16, DM 96 is due February 2, and
DM 95 is due May 10.  DM 97 will process along with the winter mail-in and the other 
two are turn-based and will process on a 14- and 28-day schedule respectively.  

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!
