Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought countless ills upon the Achaeans.

See below to relive the epic battle between the Red and the Blue.
Many have already called for another game this summer.
Who will be a hero and begin organizing?

The Reds, breakers of horses, were led to the battlefield by the Office of the mighty son of Kronos. Their superior numbers and organized march displayed an impressive show of force. Leading them toward the battlefield was Jeff, shepherd of the people, laughing Jessica, daughter of Zeus, and giant-killer Charley, Zeus's messenger son.

Torrey, high-hearted intern of the Reds, tried to prepare her long line of troops for glory in battle, but their superior numbers had lulled them into an unforgiving hubris.

The Blue team, bronze-armored and far-famed, stopped on their way to the field of glory for a speech by the red-haired king Seth, master of the war-cry.

The Blues devised a strategy. The war-like Seth showed far-famed Tiffany the plan devised by clever Ian, the wise and resourceful mastermind of war. They planned to win the first game by defending their line until enough Reds were in prison for the two sides' numbers to even out and swift-footed Paul could make a run for the Red flag.

With the Blues fought Frank, distant deadly archer and rouser of armies, gray-eyed Carolina, the hope of soldiers, and Arpana, the all-powerful sacker of cities.

And in the first game, the Blue plan worked and they were victorious.


After tasting bitter loss in the first game, the Reds vowed to never lose again. In the second game, Betsy, breaker of horses and lord of the Reds, led well and the game became caught in a hard stalemate.


Many Blue heroes were captured and thrown in prison and eventually the Reds found a path to victory with Torrey the high-hearted intern capturing the Blue's flag. And who was watching this victory from afar? None other than high-spirited Spitzer.



The third and final game was brought to a quick and devious end. Caught in another stand-off, with neither side willing to make a move, the wise and wind-footed Ed "Trojan-Horse" Walsh got himself captured and thrown in Red's prison, deep inside Red territory. Once inside Red's borders and while every Red's attention was elsewhere, he removed his Blue shirt to reveal a Red shirt underneath. He sneaked over and grabbed the flag before walking it across the line for a gloriously tainted "victory".

After the third and final game, the red haired king and master of the war-cry celebrated with the all-powerful and devious-devising Kanika.

And the teams formed two great lines, each long enough to bridge the Hellespont, and together they celebrated each others' glories in the hard fought battle.

Curran the powerful and Kathryn the high-hearted discuss the help the Reds received from Justin the splendid water nymph.

A portrait of peace between Blue and Red, Lauren the rouser of armies embraces Katherine the archer-goddess of the golden distaff.



The two teams then traveled far together, through the wine-dark grey streets, looking to sing of their glory at far-famed Iggy's and pray at the alter of Dionysus.


The red haired king and all-powerful Kanika reminded both teams that they would, they would, rock you.

The swift and high-hearted Carl and the wide-ruling Kristin, skilled breaker of horses, were inspired by the Muse to go burning down the house as the lovely haired Negar, daughter of a noble house, accompanied their music with a lovely dance.

Far-famed Jessica, all-powerful Kanika, Arpana the sacker of cities, and Arathi the powerful shepherd of the people, all toasted to a game well played.
