              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

     Busy, busy, busy, lots of things happening in ERINIKA this turn, and let's start 
with a look at some of the teams.  It seems the training can make the difference, as 
SMURF HORDE 6 is pushed out of top team by RYTSARI, who came from 38th with a 5-0-1 
this turn.  I understand that The Swinging Aardvark is buying the drinks for RYTSARI 
tonight, to honor their rise to 1st after this turns 5-0-1.  Hmmm.  I want to know 
who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The Swinging Aardvark, seeing as FAR 
TRAVELERS II's 52-40-7 has earned them 2nd place in the ranks.  Now, what did these 
guys have for breakfast this morning?  FAR TRAVELERS IV has turned a 3-2-0 into 3rd 
place from 33rd.  Give me the recipe!  I want to know who's buying the drinks for who 
tonight at The Swinging Aardvark, seeing as FAR TRAVELERS' 9-9-0 has earned them 10th 
place in the ranks.  I understand that The Swinging Aardvark is buying the drinks for 
JUDGEMENT 1 tonight, to honor their rise to 15th after this turns 0-1-0.  Hmmm.  I 
want to know who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The Swinging Aardvark, seeing 
as JUDGEMENT 24's 21-19-1 has earned them 16th place in the ranks.  It doesn't rain, 
but it pours for SWORD HEROES 2 this turn, a 0-1-0 causing a 14 flight drop in the 
team rankings.  Hand that team a dry towel.  Now, what did these guys have for 
breakfast this morning?  SWORD HEROES 6 has turned a 1-0-0 into 19th place from 30th. 
Give me the recipe!  I want to know who's buying the drinks for who tonight at The 
Swinging Aardvark, seeing as SWORD HEROES 7's 31-22-0 has earned them 20th place in 
the ranks.  I understand that The Swinging Aardvark is buying the drinks for LOST IN 
FABLE tonight, to honor their rise to 50th after this turns 0-1-0.  Hmmm.  And let's 
see, LEAKY fought EMBEZZLING SCRIBE and gained 25 points and contributed to JUNGLE 
CRUISE's 2-0-0.  SHEMP has lost to ANASTASIA, falling 3 points, while helping make 
SWORD HEROES 2 a 0-1-0 turn.  Due to his absence and inability to defend the throne, 
GALLUS has lost the title of Duelmaster.  And all eyes were on EVANGELINA this turn 
as she ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  ERINIKA has a new victor!  Tell me, is 
nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable sources that The Swinging Aardvark 
uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     I tell you, a green quarterstaff lasts longer than a seasoned sapling.  A basher 
friend of mine assures me this is true.   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  The grave that STYLIN & PROFILIN 
had dug for KANE may yet be filled with the body of GRONDATH.  Seldom are the likes 
of this to be seen.  KANE lives still!  This is not good to see.  Why pray tell has 
BLACKJACK been sent to the Dark Arena by STYLIN & PROFILIN?  And why with a 7-3-0 
record??  CONLAOCH must have surprised FAR TRAVELERS II this turn, after they sent 
him to the Dark Arena, but the Dark Arena couldn't hold him!  FAR TRAVELERS IV has 
some questions to answer.  Like 'why did you kill your fighter, KOA, who had a record 
of 3-1-0?' Is it really true that ERINIKA has more dishwashers per capita that 
fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, ERINIKA, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  Well, I'm burning daylight here in ERINIKA and I've a long 
road ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in ERINIKA again, farewell--
