                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hey there!

Fifteen fights today, two challenges, no deaths, and Bash Bros Children avoided Bad 
Signs.  And two stand-ins.  And Debby Tonte was here.  Easy on the eyes, that girl.

OUT FOR A DUCK (83-275) (32-51-0,197) of BAD SIGNS challenged THE LEPER'S HAND (81-
2940) (56-34-1,254) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION.  OUT FOR A DUCK was devastated by THE 
LEPER'S HAND in a 2 minute Challenge fight.  The Leper's Hand is our highest ranked 
Lunger, the most successful style in this arena.

SPAWN'S BLUE BEER (83-403) (38-26-0,207) of BAD SIGNS challenged QUICK (81-2926) (46-
45-2,185) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION.  SPAWN'S BLUE BEER vanquished QUICK in a 1 minute 
uneven Challenge battle.  Mr. Beer is our top Aimed Blow.

Now for the Tower Guardian fight.  Where the heck is Hari-Kari?  He wasn't here to 
defend his title.  CHATROOMMATE (18-10034) (101-62-0,295) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought 
MOD COD (55-2638) (345-212-5,216) of RHYME TYME.  CHATROOMMATE demolished MOD COD in a 
crowd pleasing 1 minute uneven Title fight.  So, the Roomie is now Crysalis' top 
Parry-Lunge.  I was a bit surprised.  Mod Cod, who is my age, is a very tough opponent 
and as usual the overall popularity leader.  As am I, among spy reporters.  Well, 
second to Debby Tonte I guess.

JEDI YETI (18-10860) (46-49-2,231) of CENTER FOR OLDS fought INIGO MONTOYA (33-8054) 
(77-69-3,206) of BIG LAKE BANDITS.  JEDI YETI was bested by INIGO MONTOYA in a popular 
1 minute fight.  As always, Montoya is top Slasher.

TANTRUM YOGA (42-4563) (92-65-3,241) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought DIRTY DIAPERS (38-5071) 
(85-95-2,206) of BASH BROS CHILDREN.  TANTRUM YOGA demolished DIRTY DIAPERS in a 2 
minute gruesome mismatched competition.  Diapers is top Basher.

HARD KNOCKS (42-4555) (86-70-0,190) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought ARENAMASTER SANDAVOL 
(107-28) (0-0-0,200).  HARD KNOCKS was defeated by ARENAMASTER SANDAVOL in an exciting 
1 minute struggle.  Ouch.  Nobody likes to get mached up with the Arenamaster.

BURM WOLFSNARL (81-113) (83-67-0,190) of BIG LAKE OUTCASTS fought RAYNER (20-182) (56-
82-3,182) of DEADLINE.  BURM WOLFSNARL viciously subdued RAYNER in a popular 4 minute 
gruesome competition.  Mr. Wolfsnarl is our most highly recognized Total Parry, while 
Rayner is the highest ranked Parry-Riposte.

MANAGING UP (32-6819) (29-32-0,210) of CON + INSULT fought LEPER'S OTHER HAND (81-
3171) (25-22-2,156) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION.  MANAGING UP was vanquished by LEPER'S OTHER 
HAND in a 1 minute uneven duel.  Mr. Up was chosen as the least popular guy in 
Crysalis this turn.

BARNABUS CROW (20-501) (37-49-3,165) of I'M NOT EGGBERT fought $5 PROMINATOR (42-5107) 
(35-26-0,178) of COLOR ME SUAVE.  BARNABUS CROW won victory over $5 PROMINATOR in an 
action packed 1 minute fight.

JHANS CHAMPION (36-8158) (28-19-2,153) of BIG LAKE BASHERS fought I'M POWERLESS (59-
2629) (70-118-1,124) of BASHAHOLICS ANON.  JHANS CHAMPION viciously subdued I'M 
POWERLESS in a popular 3 minute brutal fight.

BALDING GRAY (42-5022) (39-57-0,126) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought SIMPLY AMAZING (28-5693) 
(26-32-2,135) of BIG LAKE PURE.  BALDING GRAY viciously subdued SIMPLY AMAZING in a 
popular 5 minute brutal bout.  Mr. Gray is this turn's most popular fighter.

MR. BRATWURST (42-5106) (37-27-0,118) of COLOR ME SUAVE fought CARNATION (97-7598) 
(16-16-4,134) of FLOWER POWER.  MR. BRATWURST demolished CARNATION in a 1 minute 
mismatched competition.  Carnation is top Striker.

PRINCESS HOYT (81-3125) (22-26-3,83) of BIG LAKE SOLUTION fought TEM OF SMALLCLIFF 
(35-4865) (23-24-3,66) of HOUSE JHEREG.  PRINCESS HOYT savagely defeated TEM OF 
SMALLCLIFF in a crowd pleasing 2 minute match.  Mr. of Smallcliff is our only Wall of 
Steel.  That used to be such a popular style.  What happened?

MR RIGHT HANDED (72-6876) (58-83-2,55) of BASH BROS TIRES fought TOUCH BASE (32-6828) 
(19-43-1,45) of CON + INSULT.  MR RIGHT HANDED slimly lost to TOUCH BASE in a popular 
2 minute gruesome conflict.  Despite losing, Mr Right Handed is our leading and only 
Parry-Strike.

MORYA CHAMPION (28-5723) (17-26-0,48) of BIG LAKE PURE fought R.O.U.S. (107-4) (0-0-
0,50).  MORYA CHAMPION was savagely defeated by R.O.U.S. in an action packed 7 minute 
struggle.  Oh!  Beaten by a giant rat.

So, there you go.  The snow is melting a bit today and I'm stir-crazy, so I'm heading 
out.  Bye.

                                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!
