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
Greetings, warriors of ROCANIS! Once again I've been called out of retirement
for my abilities and insights into Spyreporting. What's with RE-AGITATOR? He
actually beat ALLIANCE's MARLBORO MAN, and walked away with 21 more points from the
fight. Laughs were big at TOTAL WHINE while they watched SLIVERED OAK clobber AMBER
ANGER. She lost 3 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. I can
barely restrain my enthusiam for PHILANTHROPISTS' outstanding member, Duelmaster
NALENTHU. I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow
fighters? Tough!
If at first you don't succeed, avoid. That'll get you in the Spyreports. How
well I know the feeling of being in the most avoided team! Don't fall out of
practive, ALLIANCE! Management must be dealin', as the boys at TOTAL WHINE ain't
reelin'! ALLIANCE's mad!
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? Here's some advice: study your opponent, master many skills,
fight dirty.
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. ROCANIS
is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places. Remember--a good
fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
