TEAM SPOTLIGHT
CONTEST ANNOUNCEMENT -- Kolact DM 10 and Stormcrowe DM 45
Masked Mayhem Approaches! Choose Your Champion? If You Dare!
Attention, warriors and managers of ALASTARI!
A new game begins--not of brute strength alone, but of wits, will, and whispers. The
Masked Mayhem contest begins on Turn 1046 in Kolact (DM 10)! Each manager will
secretly select one of their warriors to don the metaphorical mask and fight for glory
in the shadows.
Double points await your masked gladiator--but beware! No one will know who walks
masked among us until the contest ends... Will your foes guess your masked warrior and
try to bring them down? Or will you distract them with feints and fodder?
To get started, send your masked gladiator selection (include warrior name and ID#) to
Master Darque at darquesorcery@gmail.com before Turn 1046 (DUE February 9, 2026), and
submit TWO (2) Team Roll Up Certificates (contact RSI by email CSR@reality.com). Then,
make sure your masked fighter shows up each round--they can't earn double points if
they--re sitting in the infirmary. Team maintenance is recommended for all
participating teams.
Will your mystery fighter rise in blood-soaked triumph? Or fall in obscurity?
Let the shadows stir, and the games begin?
Thanks,
Master Darque
Contest Coordinator
**********************************************************
RULES and ENTRY GUIDELINES
A. CONTEST SCHEDULE
1. Duration: 12 turns
2. Start: Turn 1046 (due February 9, 2026)
3. End: Turn 1057 (due July 13, 2026)
4. Submissions Needed:
a. Masked Gladiators (your team champion) must be sent to Master Darque no later
than February 9, 2026. Teams may participate without declaring a champion,
but it will be impossible for these teams to receive the bonus modifier.
Please send to darquesorcery@gmail.com.
b. Submit two (2) Team Roll-Up Certificates to Master Darque via RSI CSR.
5. Reveal: Masked Gladiators will be revealed in the Turn 1057 newsletter.
B. SCORING
1. Win: +3
2. Kill: +1
3. Lose: -1
4. Death: -1
Masked Gladiators score X2 each turn. (e.g. Masked Gladiator wins and kills his
opponent, so he would earn (+3 Win + 1 Kill) x 2 = 8 points. Similarly, a Masked
Gladiator for another team died. His point total would be (-1 Lose + -1 Death) x 2 = -
4 points.)
C. ADDENDA
1. If a Masked Gladiator dies during the course of the contest, all is not lost!
Managers may designate a second Masked Gladiator; however, their scoring will only
offer a multiplier of 1.5 for the duration of the contest.
2. If a Masked Gladiator GRADUATES during the course of the contest, managers may
designate a second Masked Gladiator. The multiplier will be reduced to 1.5 for the
duration of the contest.
3. Teams may not designate more than TWO (2) Masked Gladiators during the course of
the contest.
4. Once a gladiator is chosen as the Masked Gladiator, managers may NOT alter their
selection unless the designated warrior dies or graduates.
5. Masked Mayhem is a SINGLE-MANAGER event. You do not need a partner or team to
participate. It is every man and woman for themselves!
6. Managers may only field ONE (1) team in the contest.
D. Prizes
1. Endurance Award - Every participating Team will receive one (1) +1 Bonus Potion for
participating in all 12 rounds of the contest and in at least 55 of the 60

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
I say same thing to reporter person.
Probably dumb spy master DUH
OSKSI, All you guys, I fight you and I win. DUH. I eat food at the market every day.
DUH, I like my armor DUH. I am the Duel Master.
-- DUH
SPY REPORT
Welcome OSKSI. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights have I
fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... Ya gotta be quick on yer
feet! Keep your elbow off the table! Thrust! Block out the pain! CATASTROPHIES is
now ranked 7th with a 1-0-0 turn. Some people say I ramble too much, I don't say
anything relevant. I repeat myself. I ramble. Well WE BIG WOHPUM moved up 1, to
2nd. What's with HAMBONE WILLIE? He actually beat GAMES LIBRARY's CALCULATED, and
walked away with 15 more points from the fight. Laughs were big at ADVENTURE TIME
while they watched PHOENIX clobber MCOATFACE. He lost 14 points and got bruised from
objects thrown from the stands. Another fighter (WICKED GREMLIN 9-4-0) challenged
another Duelmaster (WOHP DUH 22-9-0). Life goes on. WICKED GREMLIN was reminded on
the sands why WOHP DUH is Duelmaster. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and
dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. The most avoided team was
THE COUSINS. In my day, no team with a 126-163-8 would scare me off! What's the
problem, BANGERS & MASH? How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged
warrior, CALCULATED! Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Is it my imagination, or are fighters getting
younger every day? To die so young, so gloriously!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
OSKSI is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. I don't want
to overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
