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
I can't believe the violence in FRATSFA! I still haven't told Mom I'm writing
Spyreports. She'd have a cow! Well, here we go... MVP award for RELIQUARY? IRON
CATHEDRAL's proud of her after beating BANANAS FOSTER and getting 20 points. Talk
about yer big time losers! OHIO JONES got smashed by ICE UNICYCLE, and lost 6
points! The Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause he's Number One! CABRON knows
this. He was Bloodfeuded by the Duelmaster. This Duelmaster is like something else!
BROTHER TUNGSTEN stopped CABRON dead in his tracks! 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. OTTO'S PARTS
was FRATSFA's most avoided team. Is there some award for that? I don't know what
IRON CATHEDRAL's been doing. They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from
OTTO'S PARTS, that's fer sher. Like, is OHIO JONES popular, or what? He was
challenged the most in all of FRATSFA! He's got a 18-17-0, is that good? For sure,
I was holding my breath when I found out BRONZE SAINT challenged HURRICANE. After
all, haven't IRON CATHEDRAL and TEABAG@NOLA 23.1 had a long standing duel in FRATSFA?
It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but HURRICANE wants me to write about it
since it bested BRONZE SAINT. Satisfied?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All FRATSFA ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. BROTHER TUNGSTEN really fought hard against CABRON. That'll
teach THE BARRIO not to go and kill any of IRON CATHEDRAL's guys again, huh! 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
