Masked Mayhem Turn 2

Kolact staggered out of Turn 1047 bloodied, noisier, and very much changed. The mayhem 
lived up to its name, with misdirection, savage challenges, and an alarming pile of 
corpses littering the sands. I expected as much last turn, but you must have sensed my 
disappointment and stepped up.

The spotlight burned brightest on the Duelmaster, where Bialar Crais once again proved 
unmoveable. Not in the contest, Farscape has been standing tall since it began. Kaizar 
of the Praetorian Guard boldly challenged for the title. The results were terminal. 
Kaizar was killed by our reigning champ and newly minted Lord Protector, ending a long 
and accomplished career. Kolact now knows our champ guards the throne with steel and 
finality.

Shewish Bakery wore the crown of avoidance. Opponents clearly preferred softer, 
gentler bread. This bakery serves pain, not pastries. Phoenix Guard must be watching 
their figure as they were the most eager to stay away from OAB's squad. Caution is 
certainly wise, but in our contest it also invites gossip and innuendo.  Shmax is the 
most challenged. Whether he was hunted for glory or strategy, he was the center of 
attention. He survived to fight another day, so that can be counted as a success 
because others did not.

This was a grim turn, even by Kolact standards.  Among the fallen were the 
aforementioned Kaizar, who died in the title fight. Kismet was butchered by Big Green 
Egg. You can also add Amelia Dyer, Giggling Nanny, Sapphire, Oysters Rockefeller, and 
many more to the list. Dark Arena deaths, bloodfeuds, assassinations, and outright 
executions piled up until the lists of the dead rivaled the lists of the victors. 
Revenge clauses now hang heavy over future turns.

Kolact will not soon forget Turn 1047. Champs fell, killers rose, and fear dictated 
more decisions than courage. The masks remain, but the bloodstains do not lie.

                                             Keep Your Masks Secure,

                                             Master Darque

                           Turn 2 Scoring for Masked Mayhem

*Scoring Note - There was an error with scoring the last turn. I believe I have fixed 
all of those errors. Thanks to everyone who saw them and reached out. I appreciate the 
help. I have designed an autoscorer (.csv) that now handles most of the heavy lifting, 
so hopefully that will help me keep it accurate.

*Team Notes - I have dropped Den (Blizzard of Pain) from the rankings until he shows 
up. Otis (Red Dwarf) makes his first appearance this turn, along with JAFO (Ugotab 
Kitten Me). Welcome to the fray. I have also credited Cruel Intentions with five (5) 
fights for the last turn, even though only four (4) warriors ran. It is due to an RSI 
error with placing the team on maintenance, confirmed by RSI.

                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, friends and fiends, welcome to your friendly neighborhood spyreport.  
I doubt KOLACT will ever be the same.  It seems the training can make the difference, 
as PRAETORIAN GUARD is pushed out of top team by YUPPIE COOKOUT, who came from 2nd 
with a 4-1-1 this turn.  I want to know who's buying the drinks for who tonight at 
Don Corleone's, seeing as PHOENIX GUARD's 9-24-0 has earned them 5th place in the 
ranks.  PRAETORIAN GUARD must be either in pain, or numb, having dropped from 1st to 
16th this turn, with a 0-4-0 acting as the weight.  Now, what did these guys have for 
breakfast this morning?  THE HOLY LEGION has turned a 4-1-1 into 19th place from 
30th.  Give me the recipe!  The MISFIT TOYS 2425 guild has had a 4-1-2 turn and 
deserves to be watched in the future.  You never know where this kind of thing can 
lead.  Our condolences go out to one of KOLACT's new teams, UGOTAB KITTEN ME, who 
unfortunately went 1-4-0.  Don't worry, things have got to get better.  And let's 
see, CHRIMSON fought BREUSE SANS PITE and gained 25 points and contributed to THE 
HOLY LEGION's 4-1-1.  BREUSE SANS PITE has lost to CHRIMSON, falling 23 points, while 
helping make ROGUES GALLERY a 0-2-0 turn.  KAIZAR challenged for the Duelmastership 
this turn, attempting to dethrone FARSCAPE's warrior.  Defending his title for 
another turn, BIALAR CRAIS kept PRAETORIAN GUARD's warrior, KAIZAR, from claiming the 
throne.  By the way, was that our Duelmaster that I saw last night, cramped under the 
table at Don Corleone's?   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the SHEWISH BAKERY stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on KOLACT, what are you afraid of?  And guess who 
avoided SHEWISH BAKERY stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was PHOENIX GUARD.  
Anyone surprised?  Well, sports fans, take notice that SHMAX from PHILANTHROGENTS 7 
was KOLACT's most challenged warrior this turn.  I don't know about you, but BEAR 
CLAW challenging down 23 points to BRAIN SALAD SURGERY's SOUL OF STONE, is not really 
worthy of SHEWISH BAKERY.  We're not surprised to hear that BEAR CLAW beat SOUL OF 
STONE, but I bet it would be interesting to hear why SHEWISH BAKERY made such a 
challenge.  Well now, what do you expect when someone like BODY BAGUETTE from SHEWISH 
BAKERY challenges down 16 points to fight TENRIK IRONJAW of TENACIOUS?  I thought 
challenges were for warriors, not cowards looking for easy wins.  BODY BAGUETTE 
bested TENRIK IRONJAW, is nothing sacred?  In a brave attempt, KAMODA JOE from YUPPIE 
COOKOUT challenged up 22 points to fight SELENA from the THE MOONDOGS stable.  KAMODA 
JOE perhaps got his just desserts, seeing as he overcame SELENA and ended up with 87 
recognition points.   
     We only live a short time in this world, so why not take a sharp blade, and 
shave it close?  Hearty mugs of ale were raised in KOLACT today as KAIZAR was bid 
farewell to a 20-10-3 warrior, with BIALAR CRAIS of FARSCAPE standing silent and 
pensive.  THE RAZOR'S EDGE has lost SAPPHIRE to the arena in the sky, but they don't 
seem to be worried.  What do you expect from 5-5-0?  YUPPIE COOKOUT, with any luck 
CRUEL INTENTIONS will successfully bloodfeud BIG GREEN EGG for killing such a warrior 
as KISMET.  Have a little decency, will ya?  Congratulations go out to FARSCAPE, with 
BIALAR CRAIS revenging a bloodfeud against KAIZAR of PRAETORIAN GUARD.  Is it really 
true that KOLACT has more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd 
ask...   
     Remember, blood on the purple robe does not change it from a purple robe.  Dare 
to fight bravely.  Well, I'm burning daylight here in KOLACT and I've a long road 
ahead of me.  Happy Trails.  Until you see my quill in KOLACT again, farewell--

I've already unmasked several warriors, after just one turn. I figure I can uncover 
all of you after about four turns. Unless OAB continues to go 5-0; that will make it 
tougher. (Nice opening turn.) -- Neon Necromancer

Oof! My two DA deaths were meant to happen the turn BEFORE the contest started. Stupid 
USPS. At least I got all five fights in on turn one. We'll see if the newbies earn 
respect, or head back for a bit of night fighting. -- Neon One

I notified Darque of at least three scoring errors I saw. We'll see how things adjust. 
Oh, and Darque... Please publish the scores turn by turn, not just the overall totals.  
Thanks! -- Neon

Iron and Steel, I hoped you would put me out of my misery by killing Cassius Varus.  
Oh well, maybe the next warrior will accomplish that which you failed to do. -- 
Shocking Toad

Sapphire, had I not fallen on that 1st hit, you were toast! -- Ignus Ferrum

Bekhesh, nice challenge, LOL!  Guess I'll be seeing Bilar Crais as I had hoped.  
Imagine, had my challenge gone through instead of yours, you'd be alive! -- Kaizar

Campy, FAIL! -- Moldavius

Master Darque -- Thank you for all your hard work running the Masked Marauder contest!  
It is greatly appreciated. -- Riff-Raff, Executive Chef at Yuppie Cookout

Diaper Me Doll -- A best seller, I'm sure.  How's your brother, "Why are you hitting 
yourself?" Doll ? -- Recteq

Joby -- Those who can't Parry ... wear more armor. -- Big Green Egg

Tesyda -- That went differently in my mind. -- Oysters 

R.Scorpius -- The backup War Flail seemed derivative. -- Traeger

Big Rock -- The bigger they are, blah blah blah.  I did appreciate the skills, though.  
That was nice. -- KJ

We get a point for every personal ad, right?

Soul of Stone -- Well that was embarrassing, wannit! -- Bold Savior

Electric Eye -- I should know better... sorry for embarrasing myself -- Bekhmenoetheth

Aamon -- TV Downchallenge? Well I suppose at least it was only by 3. Don't worry, 
after I die you'll get yours. -- Briar

Bear Claw -- TV Downchallenge? By 11? Comeon! Give us youngsters a chance willya! -- 
The Archer Mage

Amelia Dyer -- I like pickles --- Germensine

OAB -- I was not expecting that, although I probably should have being the prizes for 
this contest are so nice. But duly noted. (like I can do anything about it) -- Tallow
