Pattern for Lore

Instead of re-typing and re-describing the same things over and over, write the text once in a template, and include across all relevant pages.

Example: {{PianoTunersHackingScandalFragment}} can be included on the relevant Toroidal Cup page, the FWPT team page, the SAC team page, a page that lists scandals/controversies, etc.

Procedure for Writing Lore Fragments

Procedure:

1. Narratives are linking teams together, generally
2. Write the narrative out on respective team's page, or in a new page, or whatever. Just write.
3. Once it's roughly done, split the whole thing into lore fragments
4. Maintain a master list of lore fragments
5. Once finished turning into templates, go through list and include templates on any other relevant pages

Each lore fragment is tagged with this category:

• Category:Lore Fragments

Furthermore, tagged with a cup-specific lore category:

• Category:Hellmouth Cup Lore
• Category:Toroidal Cup Lore
• Category:Pseudo Cup Lore

Last, tag with specific details:

• Category:Midwest Love Triangle
• Category:MILF
• etc.

All included at the end between "noinclude" tags...

Forty Niner Crown Fragments

Forty Niner Crown

• The Forty Niner Crown is the name given to the bitter rivalry between the Mountain View Miners and the Sutro Tower . It is one of the biggest rivalries in the Peninsula Expansion League, and the matchup has occurred numerous times in the playoffs.
• The feud between the Mountain View Miners and the Sutro Tower is a feud older than the Pseudo Cup itself.

The feud started when the Sutro Tower, the heavy favorite to dominate the Pseudo Cup before Pseudo/Season 1 had begun (thanks to their connections with the San Francisco Boat Shoes organization), were receiving a great deal of favorable pre-season media coverage.

Managers and players on the Mountain View Miners were frustrated by the media's unfair treatment and the lack of attention given to the Miners' brand-new state-of-the-art facilities. The Miners contacted media outlets, newspapers, and television statements to make the case that they were being unfairly ignored by the media, but their repeated calls and angry voicemails were ignored.

The Miners took out a full-page newspaper ad calling the Sutro Tower an aging and rusty old radio tower whose best days were far behind it. Further adding insult to injury, the Miners claimed that any player of the Miners team was capable of outrunning the Sutro Tower in a footrace across Sutro Forest. The Miners whined about the media's need to focus on the many outstanding and talented non-San Francisco teams in the Bay Area.

The crybaby tactics of the Miners drew the ire of many - not just the Sutro Tower, but also the San Francisco Boat Shoes , the powerful San Francisco Boat Shoes Political Action Machine, and every resident of the city of San Francisco. This began a media war that preceded Season 1 and played out over television, sports talk radio, internet streams, social media, magazines, postcard mailing campaigns, church bulletin ads, podcasts, and cameo ads by minor celebrities.

The feud had reached a fever pace before the Pseudo Cup had even begun, and threatened to eclipse the drama of the Pseudo Cup and smother it before it could take off. The media frenzy was brought to a prompt end when the Commissioner's Office stepped in and imposed heavy fines on both teams and demanded a media blackout.

• In Pseudo/Season 1, following the San Francisco media conflagration between the Mountain View Miners and the Sutro Tower , the rivalry was christened the Forty Niner Crown. It is so named because both teams' clubhouses are located on 49th Street of their respective cities.
• In Pseudo/Season 1 the Forty Niner Crown stayed relatively quiet. However, when the Sutro Tower won the Pseudo Cup in Pseudo/Season 2, the stage was set for a dramatic postseason showdown between the Tower and the Mountain View Miners two teams in the Pseudo/Season 3 League Championship Series. The Sutro Tower, looking to become the fastest champions to claim repeat victories in any Cup, faced off against the Miners, who had the opportunity to deny their rivals the glory of back-to-back championship appearances.

The Miners beat the Sutro Tower 3 games to 1, clinched the pennant, then clinched the Pseudo Cup championship - their first of several championships, in what would eventually become a Flawless Dynasty.

• At the conclusion of Pseudo/Season 24, an acoustic analysis published by the Sound & Auditory Analysis Department (SAAD) in E Division showed that the Mountain View Miners are booed longer and more loudly by Sutro Tower fans than any other team being booed by home team fans of any matchups in any league, anywhere.
