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
It's me, The Unknown Spymaster, back to give you this week's Spy Report. Sit
back in your seats and we'll have more fun than a barrel of Zontanis. Say good-bye
to CHAOS KIDS, as they are pushed from the coveted top team spot by the UNDER THE SEA
stable. For every winner there is a loser. Speaking of losers, lets take a look at
THOUSAND SONS, who went down to 2nd from 6th. Life is tough. Coming up with a solid
1-0-0 outing, SATAN'S BIG GUNS has advanced 4 places in the rankings. UNDERWORLD is
no joke as it posted a 3-1-0 week advancing from 6th place to 4th place. Hey
everybody, watch out for CALL GIRL, who flew up 31 points in the rankings after
mashing JAXSON like a melon. Keep your eye on this gal. Ya know, some days it
doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. SUL KONTEP was beat by UREA and drops 14
points. Drawing on all of his experience as a 10-1-1 warrior, OBYSIS went for the
Duelmastership against HANK this week. Well, everybody's pal HANK moved his record
to 14-17-3 by defeating OBYSIS in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 14
recognition points. Can you believe they are paying me 10 gold to deliver this
stuff?
Here is other news that is of note. Here's a song for you: Who's afraid of the
big, bad THOUSAND SONS? Big bad THOUSAND SONS. Big bad THOUSAND SONS. ZUWAYZA's
afraid of the big bad THOUSAND SONS. Tra la la la la! And you guys like to boo me?
Well, unsling your rasberries, cause UNDERWORLD beats feet every time THOUSAND SONS
smiles at them. Try farming, eh? And who is this TANYA TUNNELLER you ask, with 46
points and a 6-9-0 record. Ooh, the tales I could tell! Challenging down 23 points
was BLACK MAUL. Pretty soon he'll be using two shields and selling 'T.P.: The only
way to clean up' pins. Definition of petty: BLACK MAUL beat WEIRD TALES, a mismatch
of 23 points.
Being a spy is great--other people die and you spend the rest of the day
drinking to their memory. Better tanked than dead! In the 'Oops, What Have I Done?'
category, BROAD BILL was mashed by BOB BEGGER, who let BROAD BILL know that killing
members of UNDERWORLD is a no-no. Congrats to CARIBEAN RED for revenging the death
of his teammate (but more importantly, feeding RICOCHET a bit of dirt). Ask not the
elves for counsel, for they will say both yes and no. Silly buggers, eh?
I think I had better cut this one short. It's been nice chatting to those of
you whom I have not offended yet. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in
next week's fights. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick
your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster

foretell nothing. -- AL Cappo
