TURN: 892
SUB: Temporal Goat Manipulation and the Scrod Conspiracy

Ah, citizens of Aradi, open your eyes before the goats open the portals! They've been 
tinkering with the timestream again. Yes! The GOATS! Not just any goats, mind you, but 
the ones from the docks, the ones that smell faintly of kelp and smug superiority. 
Everyone wonders why the scrod market fluctuates wildly every fortnight. "It's just 
trade," they say. TRADE? Lies! Time-traveling goats are being used to corner the 
seafood futures!

But, before I am dragged off by men in shiny masks again, let's talk about the so-
called "gladiators" pretending nothing's amiss while the timeline unravels.

Atalan of Philanthropists remains the Duelmaster, defeating poor Badger with 
suspicious efficiency. No one questions how Atalan manages to stay so fresh fight 
after fight! Could it be chronomantic marinade? His record stands at 13-8-0, but how 
many of those victories happened yesterday or next Tuesday?  Congrats on the throne, I 
guess.

From the newly formed Tinfoil Mafia (finally, someone gets it), Mrs. Redacted earned a 
tidy 17 points by dismantling Ders. Sources (mostly me) confirm she's uncovered 
fragments from the Goat Codex! How else do you explain an 5-1 record this early? Keep 
an eye on her; she's one hoofprint away from the truth. The Bunkhouse keeps its grip 
on the top team slot, 9-3-1 over the last three turns. Rusty clanged his way through 
the Ambitious Guard, while Aggie fought like someone who's seen the future and doesn't 
like it.

In other odd news, Bag O' Ice pulled another inexplicable victory, besting Shadowloop 
in a duel that defied basic physics. Ice doesn't beat shadow unless temporal entropy 
is involved. MARK MY WORDS!

Current Web of Deceit (or Team Rankings):
1. The Bunkhouse: Pretending not to notice their barn animals phase in and out of 
existence.
2. Tinfoil Mafia: Nine wins over the last three turns and possibly the only ones armed 
with anti-goat radiation gear.
3. Philanthropists: Two top warriors and a suscpicious lack of explanation for glowing 
eyes and extra toes.
4. 13th Circle: Still chanting backwards in an effort to reverse the scrod inflation 
numbers.
5. Wrathmen 23-40: Calm, focused, and probably time-cloned twice over.

In closing, my friends (and watchers from the rafters), heed this warning: if you see 
a goat wearing a pocket watch, do not make eye contact. It already knows . . .

Chronologically Displaced,

Blix the Mad
