              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
by Jakuchu Ito
*Final Words from the Shadow*

This fight not even.
Not fair.
But war is not fair. War is what you make it.

Higher Power come strong.
Big shield. Heavy stance. Big name.
He fall after second hit.
I knock him down.
He no get up strong.
By eighth attack -- shield break.
He hold backup dagger. but hands shake.
He not draw.

I see it in his eyes.
Fear.
I do not hate him. I respect him.
But I was better.
And now. I am done.

I no speak many words.
But these ones I speak now:

This the last column.
No more from me.
No more from Shocking Toad.
No more from Ninjas.

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hullo hullo!

This turn in Darkholm Arena, the Ninjas announced that they are moving to Home Guard.  
I'm sorry to see them go.  Jakuchu Ito wrote a good column though.  There were 54 
fights in our arena.  Four were challenges, all of them from the Ninjas and their 
guildmates.  No one died.  Of those 54 fights, I believe 25 involved a stand-in.  
That's not a healthy sign.  When I look at the list of active teams, there are a whole 
lot of Bash Bros, and they can't fight themselves, which means they will be sucking up 
a lot of the random matches with other gladiators, leaving mostly stand-ins for 
everyone else.  I like the Bash Bros, but it looks like we need more teams here.  
Lanciarii avoided Living Dead, and still managed to fight two real gladiators, which 
is lucky, because the way things are, anyone who avoids may be doomed to fight a 
stand-in.

     TEENY TUCKER (42-5511) (25-17-0,100) of BETTER BLUES fought FORGOT IT (72-8910) 
(20-38-1,33) of BASH BROS JACKET.  TEENY TUCKER was demolished by FORGOT IT in a crowd 
pleasing 1 minute uneven duel.  Forgot It got 49 points for this, while Teeny Tucker 
lost 44.
     How do you pronounce Gaol?  I guess it's one of those words you see in print, but 
never say.  SHOCKING TOAD (7-310) (76-92-1,199) of NINJAS challenged GAOL (5-5891) 
(64-80-2,194) of YOU DON'T SAY.  SHOCKING TOAD was devastated by GAOL in an exciting 1 
minute one-sided Challenge fight.  Gaol was the most challenged fighter.
     Here's an upset.  JACOB (10-233) (76-94-3,232) of THE WARRIORS challenged 8 AM 
CLASS (72-6621) (124-115-0,190) of BASH BROS COLLEGE.  JACOB was vanquished by 8 AM 
CLASS in a 1 minute uneven Challenge battle.  Nice one, 8 AM Class.
     TUM (18-7380) (55-28-2,212) of FROM THE FACE challenged GREEN BEAN (3-6419) (80-
45-2,191) of VEGGIES.  TUM was demolished by GREEN BEAN in a crowd pleasing 1 minute 
uneven Challenge fight.  Another upset, and the Bean is now top Basher.
     Still, the most popular fighter is Job.  EVERYTHING ZEN (7-6959) (60-60-0,209) of 
BUSH fought JOB (18-6129) (164-299-0,197) of SHEPHERDS.  EVERYTHING ZEN overpowered 
JOB in a crowd pleasing 3 minute gruesome one-sided duel.
     DECCIOUS (6-7465) (40-39-0,237) of LANCIARII fought BILLY BLANKS (1-9375) (110-
82-0,195) of PITCH PERFECT.  DECCIOUS was narrowly defeated by BILLY BLANKS in an 
action packed 5 minute gory match.  Deccious was this turn's crowd favorite.
     And the least popular was Catattack!  CATATTACK! (3-8495) (20-22-0,27) of 
CATASTROPHIES fought HALFTIME SHOW (72-10722) (22-6-0,59) of BASH BROS SUPERBOWL.  
CATATTACK! was overpowered by HALFTIME SHOW in a 1 minute one-sided fight.
     If he challenged, he couldn't help but challenge down.  JAKUCHU ITO (7-5102) (64-
20-1,424) of NINJAS challenged BONE BENDER (2-6633) (47-50-0,211) of AB-NORMALS.  
JAKUCHU ITO devastated BONE BENDER in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge Title fight.  So 
Jakuchu Ito is still the top Lunger and the Keeper of the you-know-what, but 
apparently not for long since that team is leaving soon.
     The leading Parry-Strike is still Cup o' Pizza.  CUP O'PIZZA (10-5397) (114-50-
0,249) of THE JERKS fought RIPPED (72-9875) (81-39-1,185) of BASH BROS SHEETS.  CUP 
O'PIZZA handily defeated RIPPED in an exciting 1 minute one-sided contest.
     DANTALLION (4-2028) (49-41-2,229) of THE BLOODGUARD fought COUNSELOR OBVIOUS (18-
10133) (67-31-2,212) of NEXT GENERATION.  DANTALLION handily defeated COUNSELOR 
OBVIOUS in a 2 minute uneven fight.  Dantallion is our top Parry-Riposte.
     Raistlin Majere remains our highest ranked Aimed Blow.  RAISTLIN MAJERE (97-8374) 
(72-37-6,215) of WIZARDS OF AHS fought SHIFTED (72-7941) (103-46-0,206) of BB SIDE 
MIRROR.  RAISTLIN MAJERE devastated SHIFTED in a 2 minute uneven brawl.
     Scharv is still the top-ranked Total Parry.  SCHARV (51-1209) (130-138-0,208) of 
SKAITHVARN fought ROAD KILL (72-8272) (71-33-1,203) of BASH BROS ROADSIDE.  SCHARV 
handily defeated ROAD KILL in a popular 1 minute mismatched competition.
     Melting Flood is our best recognized Parry-Lunge.  AERYN SUN (10-4268) (81-36-
0,235) of FARSCAPE fought MELTING FLOOD (72-8016) (82-31-1,190) of BASH BROS SNOW.  
AERYN SUN was devastated by MELTING FLOOD in a 1 minute mismatched bout.
     BAD MEDIA (72-8127) (46-32-0,217) of BASH BROS HARD DISK fought CULUBRA (10-235) 
(69-95-0,210) of THE WARRIORS.  BAD MEDIA was overpowered by CULUBRA in a 2 minute 
bloody one-sided struggle.  Culubra is still the top Slasher.
     NIGHT STALKER (29-262) (125-120-3,323) of LIVING DEAD fought ADABEMIS & BALMADOR 
(42-1671) (76-150-0,206) of HIGHLANDERS.  NIGHT STALKER lost to ADABEMIS & BALMADOR in 
a 2 minute gory duel.  Adabemis Eldantabem and Cheery Balmador, two extra small 
dwarves who fight one on the other's shoulders, sharing a suit of armor, are now the 
top Wall of Steel.

That's all I can tell you.  I'm snowed in here.  Cheerio!
