Today I have two more fruit trees to plant, then some onions, and then I don't know what. Maybe then it's time to start weeding. There are some troublesome thistles trying to take over the vineyard. Philthry is still refusing to pee on the baby fruit trees, so I have to swab them with rabbit repellent. I fought Mark. He was doing fine, and then at the last minute he stopped doing fine and I won. Tolais Deepheart REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER Good afternoon! I'm pleased to welcome a fresh manager back to this arena. I'm told he goes by "the Dealer," or used to do so. Please correct me if I'm mistaken. Hello! Thanks to you, we have had 21 fights today instead of the usual 15. There were just two challenge fights today... PENGUINICILLIN (18-7224) (17-15-1,67) of ANIMAL PHARM challenged ALOYICIUS (6- 5045) (36-70-2,40) of THE LADY'S LIST. PENGUINICILLIN was bested by ALOYICIUS in a crowd pleasing 1 minute Challenge fight. SANDRA DEE (1-7237) (17-5-0,56) of CHUCK'S PINUPS challenged HOFFA (5-4622) (44- 96-0,27) of JOHNS. SANDRA DEE viciously butchered HOFFA in an action packed 3 minute Challenge battle. Hoffa was the only fighter who died this turn. And I suspect Tolais Deepheart will be glad give up the honor of being Keeper of the Runeblade. TOLAIS DEEPHEART (42-1620) (150-153-0,241) of HIGHLANDERS fought RICHARD RAMIREZ (11-2325) (42-38-0,228) of MY MAIN MEN. TOLAIS DEEPHEART was savagely defeated by RICHARD RAMIREZ in a 2 minute Title duel. Mr. Ramirez is our top Slasher now. Ms Deepheart is still the top Wall of Steel. Mr. Ramirez is this turn's favorite fighter. It is worth noting that in addition to being the highest-ranked Parry-Riposte, Constance is also the fighter with the most recognition points. Well done! Our best Striker is H.P. Lovecrafted. H.P. LOVECRAFTED (12-5182) (46-51-0,215) of WISH YOU WERE BEER fought PROFESSOR GRIM (10-2613) (36-30-0,192) of THE MENTORS. H.P. LOVECRAFTED devastated PROFESSOR GRIM in a 1 minute one-sided duel. Best Lunger is Zakau. ZAKAU (5-4623) (70-70-0,209) of JOHNS fought STRAP ON (10-5254) (28-18-1,177) of THE MENTORS' TOY BOX. ZAKAU overpowered STRAP ON in a popular 1 minute brutal one-sided melee. Two stylemasters in one fight! SLAYER 3 (10-2530) (40-32-1,190) of THE MENTORS fought MEN WORKING (38-4189) (85-251-1,201) of JUST BECAUSE. SLAYER 3 handily defeated MEN WORKING in an action packed 1 minute uneven fight. That's the top Parry-Lunger versus the top Basher. Men Working is also our overall popularity leader. Despite losing its fight, the little equation is still our highest-ranked Total Parry. PELIS THE TRUE (42-3469) (48-68-0,169) of HIGHLANDERS fought 2 + 2 = 4 (38- 4190) (59-177-1,134) of JUST BECAUSE. PELIS THE TRUE devastated 2 + 2 = 4 in a crowd pleasing 1 minute gory mismatched bout. As for Bonham, he is our top Aimed Blow. BONHAM (21-7738) (18-9-1,76) of MASTERS OF MELODY fought ADOLPH EICHMANN (84-37835) (26-18-0,90) of MY MAIN MEN. BONHAM was overpowered by ADOLPH EICHMANN in a 1 minute mismatched conflict. Philthry, highest-ranked Parry-Strike, fought one of the Hoffas. HOFFA (5-4348) (28-166-0,69) of JOHNS fought PHILTHRY (42-2079) (49-43-0,60) of HIGHLANDERS. HOFFA was beaten by PHILTHRY in an action packed 1 minute fight. There were a few more fights which didn't involve stylemasters. LADY OF THE LAKE (5-2513) (32-51-1,200) of DAPHNE'S LADIES fought MARK (5-4088) (77-162-3,198) of JOHNS. LADY OF THE LAKE viciously subdued MARK in a 2 minute bloody match. KING OF DARKHOLM (12-4856) (50-43-1,200) of THOSE WHO RULE fought SATCHEL (6- 6215) (58-54-2,180) of THE LADY'S LIST. KING OF DARKHOLM won victory over SATCHEL in a popular 1 minute duel. CLIVE (6-5215) (59-65-5,197) of THE LADY'S LIST fought ZEUS (62-4010) (45-20- 0,161) of LEGION OF LEGEND. CLIVE was unbelievably bested by ZEUS in a popular 2 minute gory duel. NO LIMIT HOLD-EM (42-2887) (27-14-2,198) of DEALER'S CHOICE fought ZANE GREY (21-4810) (56-91-2,157) of AUTHORS. NO LIMIT HOLD-EM demolished ZANE GREY in a 2 minute mismatched competition. P.M.S. (2-2716) (33-36-1,159) of MY EX-WIFE fought FATALITY (7-5820) (37-26- 0,177) of BRUTAL LEGION. P.M.S. subdued FATALITY in a 1 minute match.

STEEL MONKEY (11-5196) (19-7-2,141) of VELVET GREEN fought JUSTIN (6-6179) (42- 67-3,147) of THE LADY'S LIST. STEEL MONKEY vanquished JUSTIN in a crowd pleasing 1 minute one-sided fray. HOFFA (5-4299) (25-104-0,139) of JOHNS fought BORF (84-37868) (21-23-0,100) of A PROPER SALUTE. HOFFA was devastated by BORF in a 1 minute one-sided brawl. GAR & BRILL (38-4252) (98-174-2,132) of JUST BECAUSE fought LAUGHING BARMAID (104-9) (0-0-0,170) of The Invincibles. GAR & BRILL was overpowered by LAUGHING BARMAID in a 1 minute one-sided match. SACRIFICIAL KNIFE (29-1302) (15-4-1,69) of HAND ON YOUR HEART fought INKEEPER'S SON (104-4) (15-15-0,40) of The Invincibles. SACRIFICIAL KNIFE demolished INKEEPER'S SON in a 2 minute gruesome uneven bout. ILLUMINAUGHTY (12-5423) (15-7-0,52) of LOBOTOMATION fought DRUNKEN FISHERMAN (104-1) (20-20-0,50) of The Invincibles. ILLUMINAUGHTY overcame DRUNKEN FISHERMAN in a popular 4 minute brutal contest. That was not much to say, but it's more than usual, so I'm satisfied. Until next turn, cheerio!

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!
