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

SPY REPORT
Well, what are you looking at, KALTOS? Ain't you never seen Snide Clemens
before? Ah, shaddup and listen to my news. Later days, JAMES BONDAGE, since
DAPHNE'S LADIES took top team from you this turn, you guys are old news. DAPHNE'S
LADIES turned their 4-1-0 turn into a 1st place rank in the listings this turn. Any
better than this, and you get put on hit lists. Of course, we're all terribly
impressed to see STAFFORD win a fight and gain 13 points, terribly. Tsk, tsk, STRAY
beat RHESUS and RHESUS lost 10 points. You're breakin' my heart. And it's out with
the old, in with the new, as ALEXANDRA SAITOVA takes the Title and last week's bar
tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. I'm not in a very good mood today, but why
am I telling you this? You want to know what's new, don't you, KALTOS?
Well, let's take a look at some more misdeeds of you miserable sword-boys.
BLACK BULLDOGS, I suppose you'll be glad to know you were this turn's most avoided
team. Care to know who is the most afraid of you? And who led the way in this mass
act of cowardice? Let's see, well, whatcha know? It was JAMES BONDAGE. Ha ha ha
ha!
Death and Taxes. The less death I see, the more it taxes my patience. Let's
see if anyone's dead or dying. JAMES BONDAGE has cause to pause today, as MONEYPENNY
was sent to the Dark Arena, and came back--though not in the best of moods, I'll
wager. Honor is like a chainmail shirt, it only shines through use. Certain
nameless cowards will doubtless rebuke me on this one.
What does the KALTOS arena have in common with the inns? It's just as
comfortable to sleep in either place. Ha ha ha ha! Just wait 'till next time I show
up here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! Glad to see the back of this place-- Snide
Clemens
