In the event of a key baseball game threatening to turn south, the first thing to do is remain calm. It ain't over 'till it's over, and we've got lots of possibilities to help out!!!


Detecting the threat:

• We'll be loosing the game!!! If you can't see the actual score, there are a number of telltale signs:
  • Aaron angrily reading his comics like he doesn't care, even though he just sits there and stares at the same page for like four hours on end.
  • Bertha grabbing you and punching you in the shoulder over and over every time someone gets up to bat.
  • Frank actually becoming more animated than a corpse.
  • And of course, yours truly, Garmund, will be twisting as many dials as possible in order to ensure maximum noise and alarm throughout the compound.
  • Side effects of these behaviors may also include spilled drinks, thrown popcorn, crushed bags of chips, and loud noises. If you have epilepsy, or are prone to seizures, I would recommend leaving the building at this point.

 
Analyze the threat:

1. How much are we loosing by?
2. Who are we playing against?
   1. Does the opposing team have any former Monarch players that we once used to cheer for, but can now only look at through the lens of ultimate betrayal and sadness?

 
Combat the threat:

• There are many possible options to take at this juncture. They are:
  • Physically assisting the team. Have Jasper use his compact sniper rifle to give the Monarch hitters an extra boost!
  • Manually altering the score. To successfully pull this off, you will need a large enough distraction for the nearest handsome and dashing computer hacker to do his job. Large explosions work well for this, as do zombie threats or unexpected pop culture appearances.
  • Psychological warfare. Begin sending text messages to the opposing players containing demeaning messages from loved ones. At the same time, send encouraging messages to Monarch players! Consider altering the music in the park as well, to farther amplify the Monarch mood and make life miserable for the other team.
  • Simply watching the game and hoping that the team improves under their own merit. Given how much money has likely already been placed through illegal betting rings, this is far from the best option.

And... Ha! Suck it, Jasper!!! You didn't think I could do it, but I could!!!
