To all aspiring dead monks!

Cidsters Dead Monastery Challenges
are going live!
(for the rules see next post)

And this goes out to random people aspiring either the dead or the monk status as well as to dead folk who're seeking enlightenment and monks that want to deaden themselves for any reason.
Plus of course all those really really abnormal individuals out there who are willing to support Uniwar with actual money and have fun in the process (yes, such twisted people do exist).
Hey, the Cidster doesn't judge!

Before we go any further, if you have (or can get) the discord (chat) app, please pm me in UW for the discord invite-link.
In this case you also don't have to read any more of the complicated stuff here, as all this can be found on discord as well. Plus, you can ask questions there and get an answer.

Upper: You can win 500 Unicoins.
Downer: You have to pay 100 of yours up front.
And remember that in our greedy grab-as-you-can-UW world only bought or gifted Unicoins can be given away to other players.
So yes, you most likely will have to invest and risk some actual nickles on this.
But remember that by buying coins in the UW-shop you do support the game that we all love.
And no, I get no cut from the devs for doing this, only a 200 bump of my UW-score. [Kidding folks, just kidding!]

Rules:

In short, it'll be lots and lots of dead monk and you should make extremly sure to win any revenge games (especially any that you start yourself) as those give the highest score.

For more tenacious readers:

You will fight four other players. You will see their names and agree to all four of opponents before you have to invest your 100 Unicoins.
After all five players have agreed each player must front a buy-in of 100 UC to me. After that the games will start.
The winner will get the whole pot (500 Unicoins).

Mechanics
All fights will be 1 vs 1.
You'll start one game against each of your 4 opponents and they'll do the same, so it's 8 games at least (+ revenges).
It is highly recommend to start only one, maybe two of these games at a time.
Before you become overwhelmed, better decline invitations and tell your opponent to please play someone else first or wait for a few days before inviting you again.

All games will be played on the universally known and historically fair map "dead monk", courtesy of Uniwar.
Races are free, fog of war on, standard 24h-turns.
Revenges are possible (plus valuable and risky, see below).

Scoring
(keep in mind that church law is always complicated )

Only the score of the player who starts the current game or who starts the revenge game is changed by the outcome! The other player's score stays the same.

Also, revenge games count double,
so a regular game gives +1 for a win and -1 for a loss,
while a revenge game gives +2 for a win and -2 for a loss.
(Starting revenges is the best way to win big. Or lose hard.)

All scores start at 0 and can become negative.

Since we want monky and not monkey business, participants are to pm me the replay link in UW or share a screenshot of the "technical" victory screen
(showing who played whom and on what map).

Current participants:
(Any UW scores here are from the time of posting this or whenever I felt like updating them, no guarantees there )

To participate, tell me by @-mentioning me in the
english UW-chat (wait for confirmation please) or via pm.

From the following participants any group of five (scores should be somewhat similar of course) can form an order.
I might suggest groupings but we'll only start an order
once all five initiates have agreed.
