New page

By [[Toroidal/Season 20]], there was much chatter and buzz around the league about a possible new [[Choke Artist]] being announced: the {{CTeam|SS}}. The Sneakers, eager to shrug off talk of a Mariner's Curse, and thirsty for a Cup series victory, knew that they would have to bear their greatest burden to get the team across the finish line. The Sneakers delivered, with a sweep of the {{CTeam|FF}} in the first round, a sweep of the {{CTeam|EA}} in the second round, and an efficient 5-game victory over the {{CTeam|ORL}}. In the final moments of that game, the Sneakers had seen the Commissioner appear to them like an apparition, and present them with a choice: [[Cake or Death]]?

The Sneakers chose cake, the Commissioner disappeared back into the ether, and the celebrations continued. Only later did they learn that the {{CTeam|BTX}} had been present with the remaining option, [[Or Death]], and was subsequently incinerated as part of the [[Cancel Texas Memo]], which teams now celebrate with [[Ten Ten]], etc.

Over time, there came to be a certain degree of respect afforded teams who had been involved in the incineration of the Texas. This informal ranking was later studied and formalized by [[Goober Boylston]] in a "Boylston on Boylston Violence" column. The ranking was dubbed the [[Texas Murder Coalition]], and consists of teams who participated in the postseason bracket of [[Toroidal/Season 20]], directly or indirectly, and who as a consequence led to the Seattle Sneakers winning the [[Toroidal Cup]], being presented with the choice of [[Cake or Death]], and leaving the Baltimore Texas to their fate of [[Or Death]].
