Wow! Lots of grads last turn, and I was not among them. I suspect I (and others) will not be here again next turn for a title fight. -- Jack Rabbit Royal Flush Duelmaster of North Fork SPY REPORT Hail and well met warriors of NORTH FORK! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with LAND OF OZ's team record! A 5-0-2 week and now a firm grasp on a 7th place ranking. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of WILD WEST. How else weeks like this one's 4-1-0? How else the sudden move to 10th team? The proverbial rising comet can only hope to compare with SPAWN OF EVIL's team record! A 3-2-0 week and now a firm grasp on a 15th place ranking. I have begun to suspect trickery on the part of OF WOLF & MAN. How else weeks like this one's 4-1-0? How else the sudden move to 17th team? My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall. This week THE MOTHERSHIP CE went 1-4-0 and fell 18 notches into 21st! HATEFUL bore the brunt of major assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 30th position as the result of going 1-4-0! My tutors were fond of telling me that the higher you rise the harder you fall. This week RAINBOW WARRIORS II went 2-3-0 and fell 21 notches into 31st! BAD GAS bore the brunt of major assault on their standings this week as they dropped to 35th position as the result of going 1-4-0! Did only my eyes note the 4-1-1 record which THE PURGE 209 managed to post this round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! EQUES EIDOLON caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested CRAPKIN and was awarded 24 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, SPAR-TEKUS put down ATTALUS, causing him to lose 16 points of recognition in the process. This time victory fell to the grasp of the usurper. All hail SAMURAI SHADOW, Duelmaster of NORTH FORK! Would you believe that over half of the old women in NORTH FORK seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades that is city NORTH FORK. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's challenge seeking began. ERRATA! is feared. This much I can say. Apparently the stalwarts of 2129 BOURBON ST are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after DIRTY HELEN. Watch your back! Vendettas. Bloodied blades and broken spears. Indeed the city has seen more than its fair share of red in recent times. Strange what qualities come forth in the face of certain doom. COURAGE has the town astir with the news of his Dark Arena victory! Was I the only one shocked to see the well respected fighter THONG (3-1-0) appear on the sands of the Dark Arena? He is now dead. The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one reward--death. This past week NEEDLEMAN, at 5-4-0, departed NORTH FORK forever. My sources at FAST FOOD stable claim they've never seen the guild bitterer. This as a result of the untimely demise of BOOSTER JUICE. Beware SENTRY! Let all swords of the city take heed! By law, OF WOLF & MAN has but one remaining week to take their revenge upon WAYFARER for the slaying of WITCH DOCTOR. Some say a warrior is judged by the way he bears arms. One thing is sure, better a dagger in hand then a sword on the belt! The girls are as pretty in NORTH FORK as ever I remembered them....and the fighters as ugly! Don't let your reputation slip! More than a sharp eye must I keep, indeed a stout pair of legs must I keep as well! The endless paths of Alastari await me! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.

We also plan our usual Bloodgames arenas at the summer Face- to-Face. For those of you who always wanted the chance to manage the last warrior standing alive upon the arena sands, your day has come. The Bloodgames are coming! 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. Here are the particulars: Face-to-Face style Turn 1 is due Fri July 18 at 9pm at the hotel Bloodgames (DM 98): Turns process with the tournament Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only Mail-in style Turn 1 is due Sat July 19 at 9pm at the hotel Bloodgames (DM 99): All turns process overnight, mail-in style. No strategy changes; all ten rounds process one after the other and results will be out Sun morning. Slow Bloodgames (DM 95): Turn 1 is due Weds August 13 Turns process every 28 days Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only 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 DYOs (design your owns) with 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. Your warriors must be created and have strategies entered by the first due date. 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, there are no regular challenges, only bloodfeuds. There will be no DA challenges in any of the bloodgames arenas. TURN PROCESSING AND DUE DATES -- DM 95 is due August 1 and will process on a 28-day schedule. The other two bloodgames arenas will be processed at the summer Face-to- Face. (Note: there will also be bloodgames at the next winter FTF.) 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 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 three 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. 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 and Victors will receive Bloodgames T-shirts. A Bloodgames T-shirt will be awarded to the manager of the team with the most kills.T- shirts will only happen if someone gives us a nice design. One shirt per person. 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! NEW GRADUATES--FROM ALL ARENAS (INCLUDING CLOSED ARENAS) For those of you who keep track of such things, a few additional warriors graduated from regular DM arenas (including closed arenas) since the last tournament.
