TEAM SPOTLIGHT

GRAVITY TVs The Most Recent Tournament
All About D2 Tournaments
A Face-To-Face Was Held in July in Charlotte NC
(An Actual Scenario For A Noblish Isle Warrior)

The purpose of this spotlight is to give newcomers to D2 a sense or feeling or
information about tournaments, in this case the recent Face-To-Face tournament, held
at the Hilton Doubletree in Charlotte. GRAVITY of Planetary Forces was selected as the
guinea-pig for A Consortium spotlight. She did quite well.

So, a tournament. Four times a year RSI holds tournaments. Winter and Summer are Face-
to-Face Tournaments where managers from all arenas compete on-site against each other
face-to-face and can change strategies each and every fight if they wish. The Winter
Face Site has long been in Tempe, AZ (the RSI home site) while the summer event in
held in varying cities east of the Mississippi. (Some of the last ones were in New
Orleans LA, Kansas City MO, the Washington DC area, Tampa FL, Cincinnati OH,
Pittsburgh PA, and Minneapolis, MN. The Mail-In Tournaments are done completely via
mail and managers submit predetermined strategies for their entered warriors. (Each
warrior is allowed a primary strategy and also a secondary strategy which will be
employed against selected styles.) Both events cost $7.00 per warrior and are truly
great fun. Warriors compete in classes, thereby allowing similarly experienced
warriors from all arenas to be fairly matched with each other. In tournaments, a
warrior's chance to learn skills or earn stat increases is half that in normal arenas.
Supposedly, the chances of dying are also halved.

Why might I want to do this? I had four real reasons.

(1) Tournaments are fun; a real rush, as the warriors and manager get lots of fights
in a very short period minimum three fights

(2) Seeing one's warrior compete against warriors from many other arenas is fulfilling
and a good judge of the real skill and status of one's own warrior and one's own
management style.

(3) The warrior acquires fights plus skills and/or stat raises that are "hidden",
meaning that those fights and resultant learnings cannot be seen in the arena
status listing of the warrior. For example, GRAVITY was 3-0-0 on the Noblish
Island newsletter prior to the tournament, and despite fighting twelve fights in
the tournament, will be listed at 3-0-0 after the tournament.

(4) At Face-To-Face events, one gets to meet, and often befriend, other Managers of
the game. (The knowledge transfer can be quite significant.) I sat/tabled with
three very veteran managers: Assur, Crip, and Mannequin, but also chatted,
discussed D2 and life with virtually everyone there. It is a friendly and
welcoming group.

I entered GRAVITY from Noblish Island in Tournament 75 -- The 2026 Summer FTF. Prior
to fighting her in The FTF, I wanted to give her the best possibility to succeed. I
prepared to fight her in the Apprentices class. Classes are segregated by FE (Fight
Equivalents). What is a fight equivalent? Each arena fight counts as one fight and any
tournament fights count as a half fight. The Apprentices Class is for warriors with 1-
4 FE. Having no tournament fights prior, I wanted to try to "max" GRAVITY for
Apprentices. By "max" I wanted her to fight with the maximum FE possible in that
class. By doing so, I would optimize her chances to have as many skills as possible
and to succeed. Alas, I was unable to do so, only getting her three fights prior to
the Face; hence, she was one fight "light", but that wasn't too bad.

Pre-Tournament, GRAVITY looked like this: 17-6-5-21-10-14-11, a very nice Striker,
who was right-handed, a 21-wit genius, incredibly quick and elusive, did good damage,
had somewhat poor endurance. Nice, a near godling.

Gravity did terrific in the tournament, finishing 9-3 (for a TV Tournament Victor)
against the best Apprentices in the land, even though she was only 75% maxed. She also
learned well, earning 19 skills which enhanced her to an Advanced expert in
Decisiveness, and Experts in Attack, Initiative, and Riposte. Her finishing skill
level was 17-16-16-9-9-20.(Init-Rip-Attk-Parry-Defense-Decise.)

Perhaps a general fight-by-fight summary would prove of value? I decided on running
Gravity with three differing strategies. A "normal and starting" strategy. A strategy
for known Lunger and Aimed-Blows. And a strategy for known scum Total Parries. This
would mean I had to change submitted strategies pretty often. (Face-To-Faces allow one
to change strategies on site for each round if one wishes.)

My three strategies:

(A) Standard (for unknown styles)
10-10-6-Decise stark naked

(B) Against Scum (TPs)
8-1-8-bash or Lunge (e.g. bash with QS or lunge with LO)
light armor like ALE/L

Note: I did not always know my opponent style, and sometimes even had misinformation

Now, as to Gravity's tournament action:

Fight 1 AB; somehow the baddie outjumped Gravity with her std. strat, and she lost.
Earned 1 skill (First fights are against an unknown opponent.)

Fight 2 LU; did not know the style, but std. strat took him down and earned her 1
skill

Fight 3 LU; known offensive style, but stayed with std. Strat and eeked out a longish
2 minute fight as the baddie dodged and parried well. Earned a skill.

Fight 4 ST; still std. Strat and Gravity outjumped him for a quick win, earning 2
skills

Fight 5 TP; Changed strat to "against scum", knowing the baddy style, took a trusty
great axe and bashed away at him and won surprisingly quickly. 2 skills earned

Fight 6 TP; another scum, so stayed with the "against scum" strategy. This opponent
was a fine parrier and although Gravity swung 42 times in 7 minutes, he just
couldn't hit enough and do enough damage to win. He did earn 2 skills.

(After 6 fights at 4 wins and 2 losses, Gravity is in a perilous position as three
losses will eliminate him. (sigh)

Fight 7 SL; switch back to std. Strategy and quickly out jumped the opponent for the
win. Added 1 more skill.

Fight 8 LU; I knew its style and switched to the 3rd strategy for an easy round 1
win. 2 more skills added

Fight 9 TP; yes a TP, but I knew this was not a scum, and a more offensive Total
Parry, so I stayed with the 3rd strat, had 6 critical hits in 15 swings, including
one extra value hit to win in the 3rd minute, earning 2 more skills.

Fight 10 PL; A VERY IMPORTANT FIGHT! If Gravity can win 8 fights, he will earn a
Tournament Victor Award. (TVs get added odds to a challenge in the arena lasting
for 6 months) Gravity stayed with the 3rd strat and took the plunger (PL) out in 2
minutes earning not just 2 skills, but the TV!

Fight 11 AB; staying with strat 3, Gravity won in the 1st minute. Add 1 skill.

Fight 12 AB; Still on strat 3, she had trouble hitting the fine aimer and lost,
earning a final skill.

I will list here the full std strategy GRAVITY used.

Weapons: 0-12 SS, 13+ LO; naked; no backups; training skills
10 9 8 8 8 8 10
10 9 3 3 2 1 10
6 6 8 8 8 8 7
LL LL LL LL LL AB RA
BD BD BD BD BD BD BD
D L L D (no defensive tactics)

Summarizing the results:

Gravity went 9-3-0 despite slightly unmaxed and won a TV. Brilliant!

Gravity learned 19 skills; 4 attack earning expert level, 4 defense, 5 initiative
earning expert level, 5 decise earning advanced expert level, and one riposte earning
expert level. Weapon result-wise, he want 2/9/2 with the LO, 9/43/1 with the SS, and
4/46/2 with the GA. (Note x/x/x means critical hits/swings/extra value hits)

For you fellow DM93ers, GRAVITY is going to be a very difficult warrior to beat for
the rest of his fights in Noblish! (Heed the warning.)

GRAVITY says he is really glad to leave the tournament still alive, and happily
flabbergasted with the T.V. (Which his manager will not allow Gravity to use in DM93
against newbies and returnies.)

Key things you might have learned from this article:

1. 4 tournaments held plus their type and timing
2. FE = Fight Equivalents
3. Tournament Prep
4. Some basic Consortium striker strategies
5. The value of tournaments to your warriors (and you)

SPY REPORT

So why do I have this bag over my head? Because I am The Unknown Spymaster and
I'm going to give you a spy report!. It looks like the guys(?) at FINAL WRECKONING
had a good week as they went 4-1-0 to put them in 3rd place. I guess steroids help!
Hey everybody, watch out for WIND, who flew up 22 points in the rankings after
mashing DANGEROUS CRIMINAL like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some
days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. SPOILED was subdued by GRAVITY and
drops 11 points. Our battling duelmaster COLD has managed to hold the title, fending
off VETERAN MERCENARY's none too subtle advances. Better luck next time, NOBLISH
ISLAND. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this stuff?
Let's dig a little deeper into what's happening in the NOBLISH ISLAND arena.
Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the big, bad PLANETARY FORCES? Big bad
PLANETARY FORCES. Big bad PLANETARY FORCES. NOBLISH ISLAND's afraid of the big bad
PLANETARY FORCES. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me? Well, unsling your
rasberries, cause DON'T AVOID US beats feet every time PLANETARY FORCES smiles at
them. Try farming, eh? Well just about everybody wants a piece of AMELIA, who was
this week's most challenged warrior. Getting lots of flowers from sympathetic fans
was LUMI, who was successfully challenged by INCOME TAXES who had a mere 16 points
more than LUMI. Definition of petty: INCOME TAXES bested LUMI, a mismatch of 16
points. HUGS of DON'T AVOID US had better have a good reason for challenging down 8
points in a challenge which she lost. I thought HUGS showed great skill and promise
when she was bested by FINAL DESTINY. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the
most interesting, though! Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally
in the arena with you and see what happens.
Well, there's the manager of the NOBLISH ISLAND giving me the 'cut' sign (or is
that 'They're going to strangle you in the alley?). Well, there goes another Spy
Report. Good luck in next week's fights. See ya next time I'm on this circuit!--

Welcome to Thunder Club and Silver Dragons. "May the odds be ever in your favor" and
may you learn much while here on Noblish Isle. Feel free to ask questions. You will
get answers. -- Dr. Knowitall (Who doesn't, but really knows a lot.)

Note: Gravity, a Planetary Forces warrior attended the recent Face-To-Face tournament
in Charlotte, NC, and scored a TV (Tournament Victor) going 9-3-0 in fights. Along
with earning many skills, that gives him a bonused ability to challenge other
warriors. Gravity will NOT use that bonus while on Noblish, but beware that he is a
quite skilled warrior beyond his current shown 4-0 record. Tune in to the Noblish
Newsletter next turn (or possibly the one after) to read about Gravity's journey at
the tournament. The spot will include much info of value to newbies to Duelmasters. --

BLOODGAMES 2026

Back by popular demand, we will be hosting a new slow Bloodgames mailed arena
beginning in August. 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 24
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!
