              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.

                             Notes from the arena champ.

A darque angel, a satan's minion, and a shewish giant walk into a bar.The bartender 
looks up and asks, "What is this? Some kind of a joke?"

                                      SPY REPORT

     The sages err'd not in their foretelling of a god descending upon NORTH FORK, 
for I, Novgorodny Vir, have returned!  The boys at WEIRD ALCHEMY left the arena 
dejected, after being kicked out of the top spot by CHEERS.  Good show!  Perhaps it 
is BAD GAS members' intannibility that enabled them to move from 26th to 3rd last 
week...  (Less time in the sun...) Like a chunk of francium heaved into a wet pond, 
BIG LAKE GROOVE blew up the rankings to 16!  Managers were muttering after WHITE 
WOLVES showed NORTH FORK what they could do:  1-4-0 to move up by 15.  Thinking about 
sending their team manager to the Dark Arena is DWARFED, after suffering a 15 drop in 
ranking.  The boys at SHEWISH DINER aren't the happy-go-lucky bunch we all know and 
love, after suffering a 14 drop last week.  Good things come to those who fight well, 
as SPAWN OF EVIL can attest, moving up by 3.  SPAWN OF EVIL had cause to celebrate, 
after CALAMITY got 23 points by beating GLOCKENSPIEL.  Win some, lose some.  Speaking 
of which, CALAMITY was winsome, after beating GLOCKENSPIEL and seeing him lose 22 
points.  ANGEL'S ENVY found out being NORTH FORK's Duelmaster isn't all nuts and 
berries, receiving 4 challenges!  Duelmaster ANGEL'S ENVY from 2129 BOURBON ST is 
going for the gold, as it challenged PSY CORPS' ABSOLUM.  Ooh, the excitement!  Now I 
can't insult ABSOLUM, as it has gloriously dueled to the top.  Oh great new 
Duelmaster!!!  (Stop me if I lay it on too thick) So who was the warrior seen 
charging into immovable walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic 
problem...   
     And how sociable are NORTH FORK's warriors?  Come, let us see.  To quell some 
nasty rumors, the guys in THE PURGE 209 are not carrying any incurable diseases.  No 
need to avoid 'em.  As a woman of good breeding scorns the "warriors" of ROYAL FLUSH, 
so did that sorry team shy from THE PURGE 209 Place your bets!  NEMESIS PRIME is the 
long shot of the week:  they challenged EMERALD CITY, up by 28.  Fixed fights?  
Paybacks?  Blind luck?  Whatever, NEMESIS PRIME challenged EMERALD CITY, NEMESIS 
PRIME the underdog by 28 points.  EVAN DRAKE found himself challenged by a warrior 21 
below:  DEMETRIUS.  DEMETRIUS of WHITE MAIMERS kept his wits as he was overcame by 
EVAN DRAKE.   
     Ah, the duel!  The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd!  Citizens of 
NORTH FORK, be sure to settle your debts with ARCHELIUS of WHITE WOLVES.  He's 
relocating to the Dark Arena and has other things on his mind!  Q:  What's a record 
like 5-6-2 get you?  A:  A free trip to the Dark Arena!  This week's winner:  BRICK 
of LAND OF OZ!  Oh hard!  that to strike a flame, the match itself must needs be 
wasting!   
     Do not think spyreporting in NORTH FORK is the highlight of my life.  Keep those 
sands bloody and the buzzards fat!  NORTH FORK, I leave you now.  The Duelmaster has 
agreed to foot my bill at The Warty Toad.  'Til next time-- Novgorodny Vir

Chad -- We have a few of those already; they are called No-Tourney arenas. You are 
sitting at 34% W/L in there, too. There is no hidden FE. Everyone spends the same 
amount of money every turn. What is the excuse there? Losing is just part of life. It 
happens to all of us. Being a sore loser is just a sign of poor character, which is 
entirely on you. -- Casual Observer

With the graduation of Emerald City, for the first time ever, there will be a 
reorganization within the Land Of Oz. Whilst this occurs, I shall visit some old 
friends in Hogwarts Academy, and perhaps learn a few new spells. To the next 
generation........................ -- Oz The All Excited

Apeface, take THAT for winning all Oz's rollups! -- Emerald City

Health. Humility. Honor. North Fork forever. -- Oz The All Emotional
