Under the roar of crowds. Under the weight of rules. Under the polished uniforms and face paint and sanctioned fan chants. But every now and then, someone finds a piece of the past and asks a dangerous question:
What really started the Trench Wars?
I put out a call for questions. Some of you responded. Others responded too enthusiastically, and may be added to a watch list.
Today’s the day I answer your most curious, ridiculous, and suspiciously-specific questions about gnomes, Trench Wars, and whatever else gets tossed into my hat.
What did you silly humans ask?
QUESTION #1: "Do gnomes really have battle muffins, and if so, what makes them 'battle' worthy?"
QUESTION #2: "Is it true that some gnomes ride armadillos into the arena?"
QUESTION #3: "Why do gnomes take Trench Wars so seriously?"
QUESTION #4: "How do gnomes deal with fear before a match?"
QUESTION #5: "What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen at a Trench War match?"
QUESTION #6: "Are there forbidden Trench techniques?"
QUESTION #7: "Why do some gnomes paint fake buttons on their consoles?"
QUESTION #8: "Is Trench Wars still dangerous?"
That wraps up not just today's wild ride through battle muffins and sabotage scandals… but also Season 4 of Life of Fiction, the Podcast.
