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.

SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for IAYE. HARD KNOCKS like really fought hard
to move up to 2nd from 5th. Way to go! MVP award for KRIEGHUND? HARD KNOCKS' proud
of him after beating TRY ME and getting 20 points. Talk about yer big time losers!
JOHNNY RINGO got smashed by TET OFFENSIVE, and lost 15 points! PROSPECTOR WILLIE
thinks his 9-1-0 and studly character is good enough to face up to the Duelmaster.
Any bets? Was that a tear I saw in PROSPECTOR WILLIE's eye, as he took over
Duelmastership? And wasn't =^.^= fit to be tied! Is the Duelmaster really being a
real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
AAARRGH!!! I HATE SPYREPORTING!!! Sorry. I just had to say it. THE YOUNG
ONES was the most avoided team. Is a 86-64-8 record really that scary? Is there
some deep dark secret why HARD KNOCKS' been avoiding THE YOUNG ONES so much? Or is
it just that they're too scared? Can BOOT HILL's PROSPECTOR WILLIE be more popular
than me? He was challenged the most, but is that really the same?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All IAYE ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a
job, that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really should stop. I had
a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
