                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hey there.

Today, Crysalis Arena had 16 fights.  There were no challenges, but Black Samurai did 
avoid World Blades 8.  No one died.  Well, an old man did choke to death on a piece of 
gristle somewhat nearby the arena, but no gladiators died.  Guess they all chew 
carefully, or their managers cut up their food really small.

     HARI-KARI (73-3049) (139-18-0,269) of WAY TO GO! II fought KING MIDAS (59-2770) 
(77-100-1,223) of TALL TALES.  HARI-KARI devastated KING MIDAS in an action packed 1 
minute mismatched Title fight.  So, Hari-Kari remains the Tower Guardian and the 
reigning Aimed Blow as well.
     MEDINA (36-7596) (44-31-0,252) of WORLD BLADES 7 fought DISCO QUEEN (47-1992) 
(154-41-3,388) of ROYAL FLUSH.  MEDINA was subdued by DISCO QUEEN in an exciting 1 
minute melee.  Disco Queen is our overall popularity leader, and the best recognized 
Parry-Strike.
     SOUTHPOINT (52-3492) (49-48-0,224) of OHIO fought DURANDAL (15-5798) (54-34-
0,206) of BLADES OF DOOM.  SOUTHPOINT overpowered DURANDAL in a crowd pleasing 1 
minute mismatched duel.
     BRISTOL (32-5629) (47-18-0,188) of WORLD BLADES 4 fought G W BUSH (59-2764) (68-
115-2,186) of TALL TALES.  BRISTOL overpowered G W BUSH in a 1 minute one-sided fight.  
Bristol is our highest-ranked Striker.
     SUPERSIZE ME (47-8110) (61-46-2,204) of FAST FOOD fought JOHNNY APPLESEED (59-
2767) (59-124-1,165) of TALL TALES.  SUPERSIZE ME devastated JOHNNY APPLESEED in a 
popular 2 minute uneven brawl.  Mr. Appleseed is our best Total Parry.
     INNUIT (50-3795) (52-55-2,200) of WORLD BLADES 12 fought TAMMY FAYE (39-3520) 
(61-159-0,160) of WITLESS WONDERS.  INNUIT was viciously subdued by TAMMY FAYE in a 
crowd pleasing 2 minute bloody match.  Innuit gained 28 points and Tammy Faye lost 25.  
Innuit is our top Wall of Steel.
     UNCLE FESTER (59-2768) (78-105-1,210) of TALL TALES fought EARLY MORNINGS (84-
34548) (61-55-0,210) of THINGS I HATE 2.  UNCLE FESTER was narrowly defeated by EARLY 
MORNINGS in a 2 minute melee.  Uncle Fester continues as our top Slasher.
     GARGLE SPEW (45-3902) (34-70-1,192) of EMETICS fought MATSURI (29-4256) (35-32-
0,185) of BLACK SAMURAI.  GARGLE SPEW lost to MATSURI in a 2 minute duel.  Matsuri is 
the leading Parry-Riposte.
     TRIUMPH (97-7395) (51-48-5,204) of CANADIAN CLASSICS fought APOCALYPSE (47-10030) 
(28-18-1,179) of THE PURGE 209.  TRIUMPH won victory over APOCALYPSE in a popular 1 
minute duel.  In spite of getting beat, Apocalypse is the best recognized Lunger.
     HAPPY (50-3399) (44-62-1,176) of STRANGE TUNES fought BRUTUS (47-9380) (29-51-
3,120) of WHITE WOLVES.  HAPPY vanquished BRUTUS in a 2 minute gory one-sided duel.  
Happy is the highest-ranked Parry-Lunge.  Brutus remains the arena's best Basher.
     ARMENIUS (47-9159) (36-58-0,152) of WHITE WOLVES fought CHUCK BYWAY (73-9040) 
(24-21-0,142) of THIRD HIGHWAY 3.  ARMENIUS overpowered CHUCK BYWAY in a 2 minute one-
sided melee.
     BERLIN (63-2923) (12-0-1,123) of WORLD BLADES fought FLOYD (106-10) (0-0-0,150).  
BERLIN savagely defeated FLOYD in an exciting 4 minute bloody match.  Today, Berlin is 
this turn's favorite fighter.
     ZHOU XI (21-5151) (34-40-4,91) of KANO CLAN fought DODGE'EM DUDE (31-7019) (22-
31-1,71) of AVENGERS.  ZHOU XI handily defeated DODGE'EM DUDE in an exciting 1 minute 
one-sided contest.  Oh... Dodge'Em Dude is the least popular fighter in Crysalis 
today.
     BASARA KUBIKIRI (31-7104) (21-17-1,81) of AVENGERS fought BURN (47-10036) (30-19-
0,88) of THE PURGE 209.  BASARA KUBIKIRI bested BURN in a crowd pleasing 3 minute 
bout.
     CARNIVORE PARROT (85-8440) (17-3-1,83) of JUNGLE JUICE fought FELANAHDRA (47-
9617) (11-4-1,34) of WRATHMEN 6.  CARNIVORE PARROT overcame FELANAHDRA in an action 
packed 1 minute fight.
     GALLIENUS (47-4956) (29-62-1,51) of WHOLY ROMAN EMPIRE fought CAPTURED PIRATE 
KING (106-2) (0-0-0,30).  GALLIENUS savagely defeated CAPTURED PIRATE KING in an 
action packed 2 minute struggle.

Gossip time!  Meh.  All right, Disco Queen has been having trouble with her admirers.  
Felanahdra lunged at her after her last fight, and Happy stepped in to defend her.  
She gave Happy one of her shoes, as a reward.  The other shoe reportedly snapped a 
heel during the fight.

That's all I can tell you.  I could make up more stuff, but nobody wants that.  See ya 
later.

                                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!
