                                      SPY REPORT

     Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills?  Well 
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for ERINIKA.  Too bad, BROADWAY LLAMAS, but 
FAR TRAVELERS III was just too good to be stopped.  MY BED BANDER had like a really 
albendranius week!  Those hunks got a 1-0-0 and wound up as 17th team!  I couldn't 
believe it.  Did DOESN'T CARE really go up by 29?  If only those guys didn't have so 
may missing teeth...  Gross!  MEATAPHOR 7 had like a really albendranius week!  Those 
hunks got a 1-0-0 and wound up as 19th team!  I couldn't believe it.  Did FAR 
TRAVELERS VI really go up by 33?  If only those guys didn't have so may missing 
teeth...  Gross!  JUNGLE CRUISE had like a really albendranius week!  Those hunks got 
a 1-0-0 and wound up as 35th team!  I couldn't believe it.  Did ROUTE 84 really go up 
by 12?  If only those guys didn't have so may missing teeth...  Gross!  JUDGEMENT 24 
had like a really albendranius week!  Those hunks got a 0-1-0 and wound up as 41st 
team!  MVP award for BLADESTORM?  THE RESISTANCE 3's proud of him after beating 
SERAPH and getting 20 points.  Talk about yer major upsets!  CAROLINA's match with 
OUT OF MOP GAS cost him a loss of 15 points!  What a putz!  HEADBUTTS BASEBALLS 
fights so hard to be Duelmaster, then quits fighting and loses the title.  No one 
said it was a genius...  Was that a tear I saw in BLADESTORM's eye, as he took over 
Duelmastership?  And wasn't SERAPH fit to be tied!  Is the Duelmaster really being a 
real snob to his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  What if they had a fight and nobody showed up?  I'd be out of a job, 
that's what!!!   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really 
should stop.  Its been really albendranius!  Later, guys-- Debby Tonte

                         BLOODGAMES 2026 -- corrected (dates)

Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new slow Bloodgames mailed arena 
beginning in September. We also plan our usual Bloodgames arenas at the winter and 
summer Face-to-Face tournaments.  

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 Bloodgames  Turn 1 is due by Fri at 9pm at the hotel
  (Winter: DM 96, Summer: DM 98) Turns process with the tournament 
                                 Strategy changes allowed, bloodfeud challenges only 

  Mail-in style Bloodgames       Turn 1 is by Sat at 9pm at the hotel
  (Winter: DM 97, Summer: 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 September 23 
                                 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.

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!
