              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 
   scheduled fights.
   In addition, teams that participate in ALL the scheduled 60 fights will receive a 
   single ZAP Potion.

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Please pull up a chair and order something stiff because I have a whole pint and a 
half-burned copy of the fight reports that need some commentary. It is me once again, 
Huard DePriest, with another edition of "Some of you guys fight well, and the rest of 
you need a better career counselor." Turn 935 came in hot and loud, like a flaming 
Shewish Giant screaming as he runs away from angry villagers. So, let's break it down 
for everyone. I'll talk slow and annunciate for the non-locals.

Apocalypse wins again! I am not good enough of an actor to keep feigning surprise 
every two weeks. I also have nothing negative to say about it. Train, win. Challenge, 
win. Avoid, win. Repeat, win. Isn't this the goal of a successful career? Got a 
problem with it? Try dethroning him.

There were no deaths to report, and it looks like Jokertown Clinic was the most 
avoided team. Who's running from these clowns? It looks like the equally odd-named 
Halloweiners get that distinction. Frenzy of Darque Forces was the most challenged 
warrior.

Top Warrior of Each Style

Aimed Blow - Serious question, will the actual Apocalypse last as long as our guy has 
on the throne? The truth is, Apocalypse can hit whoever he wants, whenever he wants. 
The problem is that no one can hit him back.

Total Parry - Aquinas is everything a philosopher and all Total Parrys strive to be: 
unshakeable, unreadable, and intensely irritating to opponents.

Lunger - Lunger is typically a jumpy, over-caffeinated arena monster, but our top 
Lunger is terrifyingly composed. The Colombian Overlord leaves you wondering where all 
the pointy lunges are coming from. He cracked triple digits in the win column this 
turn, and honestly, it feels like he is just getting started.

Basher - If you hear a sound like roofing timbers snapping under a siege engine, 
that's just Armageddon winding up for a swing. Bashers are supposed to hit hard, but 
this one hits like the arena owes him money.

Parry-Lunge - Bear Grylls, but he also fights. Some people consider the Parry-Lunge to 
be a gentleman's style. I disagree since their other moniker is Plunger. Either way, 
Bear is the best one currently fighting in Free Blades.

Parry-Riposte - There's crafy, and then there is Mad Dog Russo. Now, Parry-Riposte is 
a gentleman's style. The "riposte" in Mad Dog's style description is probably followed 
by "with extreme prejudice." I mean, look at that record!

Slasher - Fly Swatter sounds more like a Basher name, but who am I to judge? He is 
obviously doing something right to get top honors in Free Blades. The muscle memory is 
similar - darting, flicking, slicing away at anything that moves. It makes more sense 
now.

Wall of Steel - Salt water tends to be irritating and can get into uncomfortable 
places we would rather not discuss. That isn't too far off from our top Waste, Salt 
Water. If you want a gritty sludgefest... I mean, slugfest, he's the one you want.

Parry-Strike - Ertl Wisestaff remains the top Piker in Free Blades. He took some lumps 
this turn against Aquinas, our top Total Parry; however, he continues to be the best 
of the four warriors who picked a style without reading the warning label. He 
continues to have a winning record, though. I raise a mug to this one!  

Striker - I can heap the same praise on Approximate, but we'll get in the ballpark of 
flattery. After all, Approximate is our top Striker. Strikers appear to hit their 
prime in the Basic game, but this guy still keeps plugging along. Hats off to you!

A strong showing from our top warriors, but there is a lot of movement in the lower 
ranks. I know we tend to look at the stylemasters in AD, but you're truly missing a 
ton of drama by only looking upward. Strikers continue to struggle while Lungers sit 
atop the 10-turn record charts. Someone may throw the Strikers a proverbial bone next 
turn and they can do better than 0-4.

Until next turn, keep the mugs filled,

                                          -- Huard DePriest
