...first two contests by a noticeable margin. Yet the tide swung dramatically when battle was moved to the Ghost Town stage, an Old West recreation featuring actual two-story buildings. HSS dominated this scenario. “We didn’t need to assert our obvious moral superiority,” said Gowda. “We just wanted to kick some Christian ass. Think of it as payback for the Inquisition...
