It began with the forging of the great bettors list.
Three trusted tags were given to the Baseball forum, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings.
Seven to the Basketball forum, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls.
And nine, nine tags were gifted to the forum of Football— who above all else, desire power.
In the land of d2jsp, in the fires of Sports Coliseum, the Dark Lord Eniac forged in secret a master tag, to control all others.
And into this tag, he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life. One tag to rule them all: the mediator tag.
One by one, the free lands of Sports Coliseum fell to the power of the mediator tag. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of unknowns and rands marched against the armies of Eniac, and on the slopes of Sports Coliseum, they fought for the freedom of the bettor list.
Victory was near, but the power of the tag could not be undone.
It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Pilot, son of the King, took up his father's sword.
Eniac, the enemy of the free-peoples of Sports Coliseum, was defeated.
The tag passed to Pilot, who had this one chance to destroy the list forever. But the hearts of Men are easily corrupted. And the tag of Power has a will of its own.
It betrayed Pilot… to his death.
And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost... History became legend, legend became myth, and for two and a half thousand years, the tag passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer.
...My Precious...
The tag came to the creature Clawcool, who took it deep into the tunnels of the football forum. And there, it consumed him.
The tag brought to Clawcool unnatural long life. For five hundred years it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of clawcool's woodland estate, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forest of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the east, whispers of a nameless fear, and the tag of Power perceived its time had now come. It abandoned Gollum."
But something happened then the bettors list did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature imaginable.

For the time will soon come when faggots will shape the fortunes of all.
