THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
Reflections by the Captain of the Guard
This was supposed to be MY tourney, you know. I had been runner-up in Freshmen
before and was well prepared. I trained my WL during the tourney, because who
doesn't need more willpower? Things were going perfectly. I had 1 loss, my
teammates Spare Anchor and Surly Deckhand had 2 losses, and there was nobody else
left.
Then that lousy Surly Deckhand kills me. HE KILLS ME! At least Spare Anchor
beat him in the finals. I wouldn't want Surly Deckhand to be rewarded for that type
of behavior.
So now I have to set myself up for the ADM tourney and go through this process
all over again. It's kind of exhausting, especially when you've put in all this hard
work and some orc with a bad temper fouls things up.

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Greetings, warriors of HOME GUARD! Once again I've been called out of
retirement for my abilities and insights into spy reporting. Well, more of sports
reporting, no spying needed because the fights happen in public. What's with SKIP
JAMES? Somebody gave him the Magic Frog Gig, and he actually beat BATTLE FROGS'
FURIOUS FROGPALER, and walked away with 39 more points from the fight. Major screwup
at BATTLE FROGS. FURIOUS FROGPALER lost 34 points to SKIP JAMES. Some new
strategies, perhaps? Maybe FURIOUS FROGPALER will provide more easy wins... for
certain values of "easy." Here is the note on that fight: FURIOUS FROGPALER (35-
4309) (23-14-0,154) of BATTLE FROGS fought SKIP JAMES (6-6579) (27-32-0,107) of BLACK
AND BLUES. FURIOUS FROGPALER was handily defeated by SKIP JAMES in a 1 minute one-
sided contest. The amazing point movements, of course, are due to the beginning
ranks of both gladiators, Skip James being a significant underdog here.
Ah... someone in the Commission office wants me to advise fighters with a 1 will
to give up fighting. Excuse me? I have never seen anyone with a one will make it
onto a team, not even as a standby.
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges--now, THAT is a loaded
phrase! Avoiding is not cowardly, and "unfair challenges" is such a debatable
concept. As to the avoiding, that's moot here today. Nobody avoided anybody else.
Even the clerks couldn't think of a lie to tell about that.
What do people see in GOPHER BAROQUE? Its 85-72-0? CREAM OF THE SLOP ain't
talkin', but it's got 172 points. And, probably, was most challenged.
This stuff here, it's what the clerks put together, and I accept no blame for
the sometimes slanted comments. Taunt your opponent FRANKIE! That was my lucky
charm when I was unfairly challenged. (and by 23 points!) VULCAN should have an
easy win. I have to get this off my chest. What a low dog, VULCAN! It can't set
itself up in a real match. I was sorry to see FRANKIE lose. An underdog win always
annoys the bookies, and I live, for certain values of "life," to annoy the bookies.
I hate going to the effort of writing about the kind of fights that ARCHERS OF LOAF
gets in. (Well, *I* hate to, but I need something to fill up this part of the
report, so I'm going to let the clerks get away with it. If *I* didn't want "the
effort of writing about that kind of fights, I just wouldn't do it.) He fights
people like LORD'S PRAYER, 14 points below. I thought ARCHERS OF LOAF showed great
skill and promise when he was defeated by LORD'S PRAYER. All right, so I slept
through it! Big deal! I can sleep with my eyes open and even take NOTES in my
sleep.
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Like we have a time
limit? Do you want the fighters to walk away, or not? How long have I been here? I
got people to see, places to go...
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. All work
and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
And on a semi-final note, we had SIXTY fights, I'm not going to write about
sixty fights, sorry. Seven challenges and eight standbys. Here are the challenge
matches.
VULCAN (99-3864) (10-18-4,53) of DODEKATHEON challenged FRANKIE (13-5579) (20-
21-0,30) of SERPENTS HOLD 929. Down 23. VULCAN narrowly defeated FRANKIE in a 3
minute bloody Challenge brawl. People debate whether a "down-challenge" is
determined by ranking of number of fights. But with so many warriors having "hidden
tourney fights," that last is hard to figure. I leave it to the managers to argue
about.
IMAGINATION (26-4975) (14-3-0,63) of VCU COLLEGE RADIO challenged BOA (1-8830)
(21-21-0,52) of SERPENTS' HOLD. Down 11. IMAGINATION won victory over BOA in a
crowd pleasing 2 minute Challenge fight. Amazing what you can do with a little
imagination, isn't it?
ARCHERS OF LOAF (43-4837) (24-9-0,73) of UNC COLLEGE RADIO challenged LORD'S
PRAYER (35-4456) (16-8-1,59) of FOOT OF PRIDE. Down 14. ARCHERS OF LOAF was subdued
by LORD'S PRAYER in a 1 minute Challenge competition. An underdog victory, and the
bookies are tearing out what hair they have. Ha!
DEEP BLUE (5-3822) (20-20-2,35) of TECHNOLOGY challenged GARLIC ARAOI (97-4776)
(7-11-4,46) of SHEWISH PICNIC. Up 11! DEEP BLUE bested GARLIC ARAOI in a 1 minute
one-sided Challenge fight. But Deep will pay the penalty of garlic breath for this
encounter.
GRAVITRON (19-5369) (21-6-1,92) of THE MOTHERSHIP CC challenged CAT N TONIC (81-
1870) (21-22-3,93) of FURRY FURY. Up 1. GRAVITRON was overpowered by CAT N TONIC in
a 1 minute mismatched Challenge duel. On the face of it, this MIGHT have been called
"even," but the steward does like to throw around such words as "mismatched" and
"uneven." Simple pleasures for simple minds.
BAD BORSCHT (81-1894) (24-20-2,112) of OTTO'S DINER challenged CERES (99-3866)
(13-15-4,119) of DODEKATHEON. Up 7. BAD BORSCHT was demolished by CERES in a 1
minute one-sided Challenge melee. A combination of beet soup and cream of wheat?
Not my kind of dish, but I do congratulate Ceres nonetheless.
MANNY LEHMAN (51-5074) (37-39-1,153) of COLLEGE RADIO challenged GOPHER BAROQUE
(2-3359) (84-72-0,170) of CREAM OF THE SLOP. Up 17. MANNY LEHMAN was unbelievably
bested by GOPHER BAROQUE in a 7 minute Challenge fight. Odd, I didn't have any
trouble believing this.
And for the title:
BAKED CONVINCIA (98-2341) (42-23-4,241) of SHEWISH BANQUET fought TOMAS (56-749)
(46-78-6,239) of MEN OF STEEL. Unlucky TOMAS was reminded on the sands why BAKED
CONVINCIA is Captain of the Guard. BAKED CONVINCIA savagely defeated TOMAS in an
action packed 2 minute Title melee. Congratulations once again to Baked Convincia,
the dessert that winds up the meal quite well.

BLOODGAMES at the SUMMER FACE-TO-FACE
Back by popular demand, we will be having Bloodgames at the Summer FTF! 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. There
will be two different arenas:
FTF-Style (DM 98): for Face-to-Face attendees, with turn-by-turn strategies
Mail-in-Style (DM 99): for all managers, with one strategy for all ten rounds
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.)
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 FTF-style bloodgames, there are no regular
challenges, only bloodfeuds. For the Mail-in arena, warriors may not change their
strategy from round to round (to make it fair for those who could not attend the
FTF). There will be no DA challenges in either arena.
TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- If you are not attending the FTF, we must have your
rollups and strategies by the Wednesday before the FTF, else they are due by 9pm on
Friday, at the hotel. The Bloodgames will process at the FTF with the regular
tournament.
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!
