REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Olaf Modeen showed up and tried to do the spy report. Not gonna happen. At
least, not today. It's too pleasant a day to let that dead guy in.
Significant point movements: Azaghal, up 15. Mauli Lama down 11. Different
fights.
Center for Olds may conceivably have been avoided by Sentinels. If so, good
work. Nobody was most challenged, or even challenged at all. Yep, thirteen fights,
NO challenges, four standbys. Coulda been worse, we could have been Andorak. Beh.
WONTON NOT NOW (73-6069) (15-9-0,54) of PALINDROMES fought MAULI LAMA (7-6292)
(16-17-1,59) of SENTINELS. WONTON NOT NOW overpowered MAULI LAMA in a 1 minute one-
sided duel. Thus Mauli's drop. Maybe he needs to meditate? Or something with
prayer flags.
REDDIG (81-1838) (23-9-0,78) of CLAN LONGBEARD fought CAPTURED PIRATE KING (107-
2) (0-0-0,30) of Fine Imported Standbys. REDDIG devastated CAPTURED PIRATE KING in a
crowd pleasing 1 minute mismatched bout. I should hope so! Those Captured Pirate
Kings are easy meat. The tough ones don't get captured.
ARUGULA (3-7180) (26-29-2,131) of VEGGIES fought JAKLAK (81-1430) (30-23-0,118)
of CLAN LONGBEARD. ARUGULA viciously subdued JAKLAK in an exciting 3 minute brutal
contest. And yet, it's quite a decent veggie. Good for you, and all that.
LUC STARWALKER (58-6100) (47-42-0,177) of NEXT GENERATION fought RIRORNI COOK
(107-24) (0-0-0,181) of Fine Imported Standbys. LUC STARWALKER was narrowly defeated
by RIRORNI COOK in an exciting 1 minute match. Tcha. You should never accept a
snack from the Cook right before a fight. I thought everyone knew that.
THE UPRIGHT MAN (10-5185) (35-46-0,165) of ALASTARIAN IDOL fought TELGOR (107-
27) (0-0-0,200) of Fine Imported Standbys. THE UPRIGHT MAN was overpowered by TELGOR
in a 1 minute one-sided melee. Interesting, I would have bet there were standbys of
closer rank, the Rirorni Cook for one.
VIRGINIA, NO SANTA (65-6623) (42-62-1,195) of GOT IT FOR CHRISTMAS fought GOJIRO
(107-31) (0-0-0,220) of Fine Imported Standbys. VIRGINIA, NO SANTA vanquished GOJIRO
in a popular 1 minute one-sided duel. No soothing fables from Gojiro!
JELLO KNUCKLES (42-4554) (54-50-0,203) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought ANZAHANZEK (7-
6204) (32-26-0,189) of SENTINELS. JELLO KNUCKLES viciously subdued ANZAHANZEK in an
action packed 3 minute gory duel. Tell me, Anza, did it feel like you were trying to
swing your weapon through a tub of jello? I'm told that's, um, difficult.
POCKET NEWS (19-5364) (28-27-0,195) of THE MAGNIFICENT MAGS fought OZAWINDIB (7-
6212) (35-23-0,172) of SENTINELS. POCKET NEWS handily defeated OZAWINDIB in an
action packed 1 minute uneven fight. Handy for Ms. Pocket, anyway.
SHINY PENNY (32-3789) (90-144-2,204) of FOUND IN THE SAND fought 1977 AMC
MATADOR (42-4116) (71-61-0,155) of COLOR ME SUAVE. SHINY PENNY vanquished 1977 AMC
MATADOR in an exciting 1 minute mismatched fight. Matador may be able to turn on a
dime, but a Penny is another matter.
OBROJOBO (7-5869) (43-44-1,186) of SENTINELS fought PINCH BLISTER (18-9859) (47-
69-0,186) of CENTER FOR OLDS. OBROJOBO overpowered PINCH BLISTER in a crowd pleasing
1 minute one-sided fight. Popped blisters, what a mess.
MOIST TOWELETTE (42-4430) (104-49-4,230) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought JOSH (18-9109)
(44-50-0,209) of SHEPHERDS. MOIST TOWELETTE vanquished JOSH in a 1 minute mismatched
brawl. This Towelette really cleans up around here.
AZAGHAL (81-1223) (48-42-1,233) of DRAGONBANE GUILD fought RUTH (18-10121) (46-
32-0,203) of SHEPHERDS. AZAGHAL savagely defeated RUTH in an exciting 5 minute gory
melee. Not "savagely," make that "ruthlessly defeated."
For the title:
ALMOST PRETTY (42-4496) (86-44-0,236) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought GAD (18-9239)
(57-58-1,234) of SHEPHERDS. ALMOST PRETTY was viciously subdued by GAD in a crowd
pleasing 2 minute Title fight. Aha! Congratulations to Gad, and I will hope to see
a column next time. Although this arena has a tradition of not producing columns.

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!
