                             Notes from the arena champ.

I'm back! Yes, for one last fight in 2 weeks. Lady Luck sent me a Pennieless Lord to 
fight and here I sit once again on top of the throne. Now I can start packing my 
things for my trip to the Isle. Before I go my boss is having me challenge the Dark 
Arena for fun. Who needs luck when you will get brought back to life. 

                                    -- Three time Duelmaster and Lord Protector Paeris

                                      SPY REPORT

Warm greetings Lapur on this fine sunny day. Today we honor Paeris for becoming a Lord 
Protector. He announced he is finishing his arena career here in Lapur with a 
challenge to the Dark Arena. I am guessing he is trying to finish off his modest 
career with a bang, ohh well, farewell. Who will take his spot at the top? KUSAAR. 
ZOLOFT or WOO WOO WOO. God I hope not him. Let's find out.

Looks like 12 teams in the ranks, two inactive and 1 returning and another new one. 
Welcome back Neon Velvet and a warm welcome to Paper Tigers. From those guilds we got 
17 fights on the list, 1 by torchlight, 6 challenges and 10 random matchups. The Dark 
Arena fight was our former Duelmaster and new Lord Protector Paeris dispatching a 
Shambling Mound as a goodbye to Lapur. That leaves a question, with ZOLOFT and WOO WOO 
WOO failing to show who is fighting for the title? Old reliable KUSAAR of WAR PARTY is 
here and an arena standby STRIKE BREAKER. As expected Obergon's champion easily won in 
a 1 minute Title fight. All hail the new Duelmaster!

In Team news Obregon and his War Party leapfrogged from 3rd to the top spot after a 3-
1-0 and they also took down the Team on the Move after gaining 38 points. Visionist 
and his Mid Earth crew maintained the 2nd spot after a 2-3-1. Jumping from 5th to 3rd 
is the Unknown Wolf and his I'm the Wolf pack, who managed a 3-0-0 result. The Most 
Avoided naturally goes to the Bloke and his AVOID ME! bullies, who were avoided 10 
times, with the next closest having 5 avoids.

Challenge fights...

GERONIMO of WAR PARTY challenged HIGH VOLTAGE of AVOID ME!, with Obregon's Apache 
warrior being over powered by the Bloke's super charged warrior in a minute.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS of ALMOST EXACTLY challenged SKUNK of AVOID ME!, with Vlad's 
shallow warrior barely losing to the Bloke's weasel warrior in a 3 minute contest.

SACAGAWEA of WAR PARTY challenged AS THE CROW DIES of ALMOST EXACTLY, with Obregon's 
Indian warrior fortunately claimed victory against Vlad's dying bird warrior in a 5 
minute duel.

LOTS OF KNOTS of ALMOST EXACTLY challenged MONEY DARLING of I'M THE WOLF, with Vlad's 
complicated warrior came undone in losing to the Unknown Wolf's wealthy warrior in a 3 
minute match.

UNCAS of WAR PARTY challenged PETRIFIED SPONGE of ARMY OF DARKNESS, with Obregon's 
Mohegan warrior overwhelming Master Beru's scared porous warrior in a 3 minute 
gruesome melee.

In other individual achievement. UNCAS gained 22 points to be the biggest winner and 
DEMON D*KE is the biggest loser after losing 21 points. This week's  favorite is 
Vlad's AS THE CROW DIES. My fight of the Week is a challenge fight: BOUNCE THIS OFF U 
of ALMOST EXACTLY challenged ATTILA THE NUN of ARMY OF DARKNESS, with Vlad's ricochet 
warrior overwhelming Master Beru's virtuous warrior in 3 minute bout. Well fought to 
you both! 

That brings my report to a close, 'til next time.

                                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!
