And so the youg Pharaoh goes to the afterlife, though he met his end as he'd have wished to -- in battle. He seemed at peace. But vengeance is mine. Your Duelmistress, -- Isis SPY REPORT The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon OSKSI, for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned! GAMES LIBRARY after a sorry 0-5-0 might want to consider abandoning the sands and taking up singing the 'Can't fight no more' blues! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive observation?) as CATASTROPHIES can attest... Good things come to those who fight well, as JUSTICE can attest, moving up by 7. Practice pays for ANCIENT BREW, who pummelled BLACK DIAMOND, to pocket 24 points. A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after losing 16 points to DANGER RANGER. (Discrete enough, LUSTY WENCH?) Duelmaster ISIS from VALLEY OF KINGS is going for the gold, as she Bloodfeuded JUSTICE's FIRING SQUAD. Ooh, the excitement! What can be a greater victory? FIRING SQUAD has taken his place as the top, as OSKSI's new Duelmaster. Word has it one team in OSKSI is using psychics to predict wins. They lead a charmed life! And how sociable are OSKSI's warriors? Come, let us see. Perhaps the warriors of MY FAVORITE INN should take up some hobbies, as they are the most avoided team... As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of BANGERS & MASH, so did that sorry team shy from MY FAVORITE INN Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and ANCIENT BREW is it right now. Most challenged warrior. Isn't MY FAVORITE INN proud! GIBRALTER challenged STUDEBAKER! Who says BANGERS & MASH are just a bunch of wimps! GIBRALTER of BANGERS & MASH kept his wits as he bested STUDEBAKER. Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors. TYPEWRITER of OLDTIMERS spared XENA (6-11-0) from having to lose any more fights. What's your next plan, BANGERS & MASH? Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an unconscious stupor. All good things must come to an end. As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond my control, I must take my leave of this place. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME FIRING SQUAD 3668 16 11 3 113 JUSTICE (64) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -OUTHOUSE 8394 10 5 0 98 OLDTIMERS (749) ISIS 7114 11 6 0 97 VALLEY OF KINGS (118) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME ELECTRIC SOUL 8299 8 1 0 87 WISCONSIN BEER (741) ANCIENT BREW 8254 6 2 0 84 MY FAVORITE INN (734) BLACK DIAMOND 8294 17 16 1 74 ROCK BOTTOM (720) FLIM FLAM 8425 5 3 0 73 WHAT'S THIS ABLAUT (750) -SLIDE RULE 8397 5 0 0 72 OLDTIMERS (749) -DUDE 3 8227 7 3 1 71 FRAT PARTY BLOWOUT (253) CHALLENGER ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME VULGAR UNICORN 8256 6 3 0 62 MY FAVORITE INN (734) RAMESSES II 7109 12 11 0 59 VALLEY OF KINGS (118) ANGEL 8476 5 0 0 59 RENEGADES!

We look forward to seeing you in July! -- RSI SUMMER BLOODGAMES 2024 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 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 12 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 13 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 Thurs August 1 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!
