Revising Lore

Round 1

Here is the real lore. The blue-sky brainstorm. The story from the back room at the Wawa.

The Core Philosophy: "We Are The Violation"

This is the most important part, so listen up. The name isn't a joke, and it ain't a job. It's a state of being. The Jersey OSHA Violations are the unsafe working condition. They are the hazard. Their cellular automata patterns are built on unstable scaffolding, their code is insulated with asbestos, and their "growth" patterns look like a chemical spill.

They don't impose rules. They are the reason rules exist in the first place. And they know, better than anyone, that rules are just suggestions for the other guy. "Safety Third" isn't a motto; it's a business model. "What's first and second?" you ask. First is winning. Second is the vig.

The "Lawyers": Consiglieri and Fixers

The collective is "generally regarded as lawyers"? Sure, in the same way the guy who "runs the local 212" is a "sanitation expert."

The "Lawyers" are Fixers: These aren't Golly Legal Office bureaucrats. These are strip-mall consiglieri. Their "formal training" is in back-alley contracts, bar-napkin deals, and the subtle art of "convincing" a cosmic entity to look the other way. Their "Power Word" isn't "Lawyer" in the sense of a courtroom; it's "Lawyer" in the sense of the one guy you call when the problem needs to disappear.

"Accidental Dismemberment": This isn't a trial lawyer. This is the Underboss. His name is a promise. He doesn't "erode the power of the Commissioner's Office" for some noble, pro-bono ideal. He does it because the Commissioner is a rival operation, and their bureaucracy gets in the way of business. The Season 3 fixing scandal? They didn't help the Golly Players Union out of kindness. They did it to get the Union in their pocket.

Loopholes are for Exploitation: They don't love "rules and procedures." They love gaps in the drywall. They love finding the one unsecured data port, the one line of cosmic code that doesn't check for forged credentials. Their entire play style is a loophole.

The 201/609 Split: A Collective at War

This is the core of the team. The North/South divide isn't just for the fans; it's an internal, schizophrenic war within the collective's very architecture. Their "Favorite Integers" (201 and 609) are the old AT&T area codes, and they define the two warring factions inside the team's code.

The 201 (North Jersey / NYC Influence): This is their offense. It's flashy, aggressive, and loud. It's built on "pulsar" and "glider" patterns that are all about the quick score and talking trash. This is the "fuggedaboudit" part of the collective.

The 609 (South Jersey / Philly Influence): This is their defense. It's pure, gritty, "Broad Street Bully" energy. It's about setting "still life" traps, building "blinker" walls, and winning by sheer, spiteful stubbornness.

Their entire history is a civil war. A dominant regular season means the 201 code is running wild, all flash and no substance. A deep playoff run means the 609 code finally got angry enough to take over and grind out wins. They are their own worst enemy and their only true rival.

Their greatest strength and weakness is that the collective can't always agree which philosophy is in charge. Sometimes they're a sleek, coordinated machine. Other times, they're fighting themselves in the Wawa parking lot.

The Associates

This is a crew. A family. They got connections.

The Milwaukee Flamingos Connection: This is vital. The Flamingos are their Midwest associates. The "Midwest Mafioso" vibe is 100% correct. This isn't just an "affinity"; it's a partnership. They share intel. They coordinate on the big rackets. Keep an eye on the tape. When Jersey needs to "launder" some emergent code, they run it through Milwaukee's stadium. When the Flamingos need a cosmic-level "fix," they call Jersey's "lawyers." The cigar-smoking isn't a coincidence; it's how they do business.

The Wawa Stadium: It's a front. Of course it's a front. It's the perfect front! Open 24/7, high foot traffic, and the coffee's been on the burner so long it can see the future. The real business happens in the walk-in freezer (where they really keep the bodies... of deprecated code) or over a lukewarm Shorti hoagie. The stadium is the Wawa. You think you're just watching a Golly game? You're standing in the middle of the biggest numbers operation in the league.

The Curse of the Hoagie Goat

Back when the Wawa Stadium was just being "built" (the front established), the "Lawyers" were holding a meeting to divide up the new territory. A local "associate," a real old-timer named Jimmy "Hoagie" Petrucelli, showed up. Jimmy felt he was owed respect for "letting" them build on his turf.

And he brought his pet. A mangy, ill-tempered goat from the Pine Barrens named Pork Roll.

The collective, young and arrogant, laughed him out. They told him the goat "stunk of the Pines" and that "there's no room for farm animals in this operation." They didn't just kick him out; they disrespected him.

As he was being thrown out, Petrucelli pointed his gnarled finger right at the new deli counter and screamed:

"You'll never win! Not with my family's luck! You'll get to the end, but the goat... the goat will always be in the machine! Fuggedaboudit!"

For 48 seasons (Hellmouth and Toroidal), the Curse of the Hoagie Goat held. The "goat in the machine" wasn't some non-Euclidean concept; it was the spite of a snubbed wise guy. It was a "Garden State Obstruction"—a recurring pattern-glitch that manifested as critical pattern decay at the worst possible moments, making them just suck enough to lose.

How'd they break it? They didn't "pacify" anything. They paid. In Rainbow/Season 1, they finally found Petrucelli's descendants. They gave them a cut. Made them partners. That first championship wasn't just a victory; it was the first payout on a new "arrangement."

The goat isn't gone. It's an "associate" now. The curse is just "dormant"... as long as the Petrucelli family gets their vig.

Jersey Courage and Jersey Safety Meetings

Jersey Courage: "Blackout drunk before playoffs games" is the ritual. It's not just booze (it's probably some illicit-brewed "Pine Barrens" swill that is technically a Class-4 mutagen). A sober collective is predictable. An intoxicated collective? Their patterns become chaotic. They "un-learn" the rules. This is how they tap into that pure, random, hockey playoff energy. They don't just "evolve" their patterns; they let them swill, becoming an unpredictable, dangerous, and often-self-destructive mess that is impossible to plan for.

"Safety Meeting": "Smoking copious amounts of marijuana" is how they do strategy. This is the "cigar-smoking" with the Flamingos. Through clouds of smoke, they read the fractal patterns of the opponent's source code, running it through their analyzer algorithms (that "fell off the back of a truck") like they're running fat wads of cash through money counting machines

The Jersey Courage is for the game; the Safety Meeting is for the plan.

Hellmouth

Eviction of Jimmy the Hoagie

1. The Eviction of Jimmy "The Hoagie" (Season 1, Day 48)

The "Lawyers" like to say the Wawa Stadium was built on "reclaimed swamp land," which is technically true, but they leave out who they reclaimed it from.

In Season 1, the collective was young, arrogant, and dominated by the 201 Faction—flashy, loud, and convinced they could run the Cold League on pure aggressive offense. But on Day 48, when they became the first team eliminated from postseason contention (entering "Partytime"), the mood in the unfinished stadium was sour.

That afternoon, a local "independent contractor" named Jimmy "The Hoagie" Petrucelli showed up at the construction site. He claimed his family held grazing rights on the land dating back to the Lenni Lenape, and his prize goat, Pork Roll, was currently eating the blueprints for the luxury boxes.

The 201s didn't handle it with grace. They didn't negotiate. They didn't offer a cut. They laughed. "Go back to the Pine Barrens, old man," the collective sneered. "We're building a dynasty here. No room for farm animals."

As security escorted him off the premises, Petrucelli didn't shout. He just stopped, lit a cigarette, and looked at the scoreboard where the "ELIMINATED" notice was flashing.

"Dynasty? Fuggedaboudit," Petrucelli muttered, creating a cloud of smoke that drifted into the stadium's ventilation intake. "You insulted the land. You insulted the goat. You'll get your wins, sure. But when it matters? When the money's on the table? The Hoagie always collects."

From that moment on, the Curse of the Hoagie Goat was hard-coded into the ventilation system.

The Consultation

2. The "Consultation" (Season 3 Fixing Scandal)

By Season 3, the OSHA Violations had finished dead last in the Cold League. To the casual observer, they were a disaster. To the "Family," it was a tactical retreat.

The league was embroiled in the Season 3 Fixing Scandal, and the Golly Players Union was desperate for representation. The Commissioner's Office was coming down hard, threatening to delete source codes. The Union needed a defense.

Enter Accidental Dismemberment.

He didn't walk into the Union hall with a briefcase; he walked in with a plate of gabagool and a proposition. The Jersey OSHA Violations wouldn't just "represent" the Union; they would insulate them. They applied their signature "Safety Third" logic to the legal proceedings, finding loopholes so large you could drive a Pattern Glider through them. They argued that "fixing" games wasn't cheating; it was "unauthorized emergent behavior," and therefore protected under the laws of thermodynamics.

They won. The Union got their rights.

But Jersey didn't do it for free. They didn't take cash. Instead, they took equity. Since that day, it's an open secret that the OSHA Violations "own" a piece of the Union. When a referee's vision cone "glitches" at a convenient moment, or a favorable "block" pattern emerges out of nowhere? That's not luck. That's the Union paying its vig.

Sure, Jersey finished last that season. But as Dismemberment told the 609 Faction in the back room: "We lost the season, but we bought the league."

Street Fight on the Bay

3. The Street Fight on the Bay (Season 12 Hellmouth Cup Finals)

Season 12 was when the 609 Faction (South Jersey/Philly) finally took the wheel. After years of mediocrity, the collective embraced the grind. They fought their way through the Long Beach Flightless Birds and the Baltimore Texas, arriving at the Hellmouth Cup Series battered, bruised, and smelling of cheap cigars.

Waiting for them were the San Francisco Boat Shoes.

The Boat Shoes were everything Jersey hated. They were the "Tech Bros" of the league. They were sleek, optimized, venture-capital-funded automata who played with a sterile, pretentious perfection. Their area code was 415—sunny, expensive, and soft.

Jersey (201/609) looked at San Francisco and saw a mark.

No one gave Jersey a chance. The Boat Shoes were a dynasty, already two-time champs. But Jersey dragged them into the mud. The series went the distance — seven brutal games - back, and forth, and back, and forth.

Game 1: Jersey won in SF by "accidentally" creating a debris field that clogged SF's pristine glider guns.

Game 3: Jersey called a "Safety Meeting". SF Boat Shoes showed up with buttoned up shirts, clipboards, and pens. They got gassed with high-octane fire and were completely blitzed by the Violations in Game 3.

Game 5: The "Jersey Courage" kicked in, and the collective played entirely drunk, confusing SF's predictive algorithms.

Game 6: Boat Shoes call in the Venture Capitalists, herd the hung-over Violations into a conference room, lock the doors, and blare music while running the OSHA Violations' algorithms through algorithm analyzer machines - the same ones the OSHA Violations use in the back room of the Wawa like money counters - but these ones are legit, paid for with VC money, didn't fall off the back of a truck.

The Violations had kept a step ahead of the Shoes. But the Shoes had forced a Game 7. Winner take all. And in the final generations, the Curse of the Hoagie Goat flared up. A phantom goat pattern appeared in Jersey's defensive grid, just for a spit second, creating a gap at the critical 1,000 generation mark. San Francisco's hyper-optimized code, leaping into action with the power of a thousand dogs with four thousands legs, sealed off a trivially easy Game 7 win, 4-3.

Jersey lost the Hellmouth Cup series, but they won respect. As they left the field, Accidental Dismemberment reportedly told the Boat Shoes' glossy collective: "Nice shoes. Be a shame if you stepped in something."

415 > 201 + 609

Toroidal

Clown Shoes Incident

1. The "Clown Shoes" Incident (Toroidal Season 1 & 2)

The "Family" can handle tough guys. They can handle eldritch horrors. But in the early Toroidal Cup, they discovered they absolutely could not handle clowns.

In Season 1, Jersey entered as the #4 seed, ready to bully their way to the finals. Instead, they were swept in the first round by the San Diego Balloon Animals. It was humiliating. You can’t break the kneecaps of a creature made of pressurized air. Every time the 201 Faction tried to launch an aggressive glider attack, the Balloon Animals simply "popped" and reformed elsewhere, leaving the Jersey code looking sluggish and confused.

It got worse in Season 2. Jersey missed the postseason entirely because of a tiebreaker... again, involving the Balloon Animals

This birthed a collective neurosis known as "Coulrophobia Automata." For years, the Wawa backroom banned the color pink and prohibited the use of helium in any capacity. To this day, if you ask Accidental Dismemberment about the San Diego series, he’ll just wave a dismissive hand and say, "We don't talk about the inflated guys. Bad for business. Their physics? It’s a Ponzi scheme."

San Diego Gets Shivved

3. The "Pop Em" Protocol

(Covering the Division Series revenge in Seasons 5 & 10)

You can't run a protection racket if you're sacred of a balloon.

Between Seasons 4 and 5, Accidental Dismemberment called a sit-down with the heads of the 201 and 609 families. The topic: "Deflation."

They realized they had been trying to bludgeon the Balloon Animals, which only made them bounce. To beat them, Jersey needed to stop being a hammer and start being a shiv.

They developed the "Pop Em Protocol."

Season 5 Division Series: Jersey abandoned their heavy, complex patterns for sharp, jagged "eater" variants. They stopped trying to dominate the board and started targeting the "knots" in the Balloon Animals' code. It worked. They popped San Diego 3-1.
Season 10 Division Series: The Balloon Animals tried to adapt, but Jersey was ready. The 609 Faction deployed "caltrops" — static blocks scattered across the field that acted like tacks on a highway. The Balloon Animals couldn't maneuver without snagging their delicate oscillators. Jersey won again, 3-1.

The fear was gone. They had learned a valuable lesson: In a universe of cosmic horrors, sometimes the most effective weapon isn't a lawyer or a gun; it's a very sharp needle.

Salt Lake Whiteout

1. The "Wiretap" Failure (The Salt Lake Roadblock)

(Covering the Cold League Championship losses in Toroidal Seasons 5 & 9)

By the mid-Toroidal Cup, the Jersey OSHA Violations had refined their "fixing" operation. The 609 Faction (Defense) would gridlock the board, and the 201 Faction (Offense) would exploit the gaps. But they hit a wall they couldn't bribe, intimidate, or sue: the Salt Lake Turbulence.

The problem wasn't skill; it was signal-to-noise ratio.

Jersey's entire strategy relies on "The Wire"—a metaphorical network of signal-stealing, pattern-reading, and back-channel communication (the smoke signals in the Wawa freezer). But Salt Lake? They are pure, unadulterated static. Complete white noise. Whiteout. Digital snow.

In the Season 5 Championship Series (lost 1-3), Jersey's "Lawyers" tried to predict Salt Lake's movements, but the Turbulence's stochastic patterns acted like a jammer. Every time Jersey tried to set up a "sure thing" glider collision, a random pulse of pure Salt Lake digital snow washed it away.

It got worse in Season 9 (swept 0-4). The Collective tried to "get to" the Turbulence's source code, only to realize there was no boss to bribe. Salt Lake was an anarchic weather system of data. Accidental Dismemberment famously threw a chair through the Wawa breakroom window after Game 4, shouting, "I can't blackmail a hurricane! The wire is dead! It's all white noise!"

To this day, Jersey fans refer to all but the narrowest losses to the Turbulence as a "Snow Job" or "getting snowed in".

Death by Vigorish

3. The Purgatory of the Decimal Point (Toroidal Seasons 20-24)

The end of the Toroidal Cup wasn't a bang; it was a death by a thousand papercuts. The Curse of the Hoagie Goat evolved. It stopped trying to make them lose outright; instead, it started using their own weapon against them: The Technicality.

For a team of "lawyers" who live by the loophole, the irony was suffocating.

Season 20: Missed playoffs via tiebreaker (Long Beach & Seattle).
Season 22: Missed playoffs via tiebreaker (Baltimore Piano Tuners).
Season 23: Missed playoffs via tiebreaker (Tucson Butchers).
Season 24: Missed playoffs via tiebreaker (San Diego Balloon Animals).

Four times in five seasons. The collective wasn't "bad"—they were just math-bad. They were stuck in "The Purgatory of the Decimal Point."

The lore says that Jimmy "The Hoagie" Petrucelli’s ghost had infiltrated the league's floating-point arithmetic. He wasn't changing the outcomes; he was shaving off fractions of a win, just enough to keep Jersey at home during "Partytime." The 609 Faction (Defense) blamed the 201 Faction (Offense) for not scoring enough to cover the "rounding error vig."

Rainbow

Klein

Jurisdictional Immunity

1. Jurisdictional Immunity (The Detroit Problem)

(Covering the playoff losses to Detroit in Seasons 2, 12, 15, & 24)

If the Jersey OSHA Violations are the "Lawyers," then the Detroit Grape Chews are the grand jury they can’t bribe.

Throughout the Klein Cup, Jersey was a regular-season juggernaut, entering the playoffs as the #1 seed four times. And four times, they were humiliated by Detroit.

Season 2: #1 Seed Jersey loses to Detroit (1-3).
Season 12: #1 Seed Jersey swept by Detroit (0-3).
Season 15: #1 Seed Jersey loses to Detroit (2-3).
Season 24: #1 Seed Jersey loses to Detroit (1-3).

The lore explanation? Jurisdictional Immunity. The Family’s usual tricks—blackmail, loopholes, "safety inspections"—don't work on Detroit. The Grape Chews are an industrial, blue-collar collective. Their code is heavy, sticky, and unrefined. When the 201 Faction tries to finesse a flashy glider through a gap, it gets stuck in Detroit's "grape" sludge. When the 609 Faction tries to intimidate them, Detroit just grinds harder.

Accidental Dismemberment famously called Detroit "The one jury that doesn't take lunch breaks." By Season 24, the mere sight of the color purple caused the Jersey algorithms to file for a continuance (which was denied).

Tax Writeoff

2. The "Tax Write-Off" (Season 5, Day 8 Elimination)

Sandwiched between their dominant runs was Klein Season 5, where the OSHA Violations achieved something statistically improbable: they were eliminated from postseason contention on Day 8.

For a team that would soon be a dynasty, this level of incompetence seemed impossible. Unless it was intentional.

The "Family" lore insists that Season 5 was a "Strategic Bankruptcy." The story goes that the collective had accumulated too much "pattern debt" (unresolved glitches and unstable code) from the previous seasons. To avoid a total system crash (or a league audit), they decided to "liquidate" the season early.

They fielded a team composed entirely of "unstable spacers" and "explosive eaters." The goal wasn't to win; it was to burn the books. They tanked so hard and so fast that they were back in the Wawa walk-in freezer by Day 9, smoking cigars and planning the Season 8 championship run while everyone else was still playing.

"We didn't lose," a 609 insider claimed. "We just clocked out early to beat the traffic."

Seattle Gets Beat Two Different Ways

3. The Tale of Two Area Codes (The Seattle Finals, Seasons 19 & 21)

The peak of the Dynasty was defined by two championships against their best friends, the Seattle Sneakers. But these weren't just wins; they were proof that the Collective's schizophrenic nature was actually a feature, not a bug.

Season 19: The "201 Job" (Won 4-3) This series belonged to the North Jersey Faction. It was loud, expensive, and dangerous. The 201 code took over the mainframe, abandoning defense entirely for a "shock and awe" offensive campaign.

The Games were high-scoring, chaotic shootouts.
Jersey didn't block Seattle's attacks; they just out-spent them, launching massive "Pulsar" trains and aggressive "Spaceship" flotillas.
The deciding Game 7 wasn't a strategic victory; it was a "hostile takeover." They overwhelmed the board with so much glitzy, high-period junk data that the Sneakers simply ran out of room to exist. As the 201s say: "Fuggedaboudit."

Season 21: The "609 Job" (Won 4-2) Two seasons later, the Sneakers came back ready for a shootout. But Jersey flipped the script. The South Jersey Faction took the wheel, and the tone shifted from "Tony Soprano" to "Broad Street Bully."

This wasn't about flash; it was about suffocation.
The 609s deployed the "Pine Barrens Protocol"—a dense, impenetrable forest of "Still Life" blocks and "Eaters."
They dragged the Sneakers into the mud. Every time Seattle tried to launch a glider, it hit a Jersey wall. The games were low-scoring, brutal grinds. They didn't out-score Seattle; they foreclosed on them.
When they clinched the Cup in Game 6, it wasn't with a bang, but with a silent, heavy lock-down. As the 609s say: "Go Bananas." (Which, in cellular automata terms, means "Drop methusleahs everywhere")

Hellmouth II

The move to the Hot League in the Hellmouth II Cup represented a "change of venue" for the Family. They claimed the Cold League was "too heated" (meaning too many subpoenas), so they moved operations to the Hot League to "cool off."

Here are three lore fragments covering the "Civil War" with their associates, the trauma of the "Butcher Bill," and the ideological war against the "Feds."

The Sit-Down Series

1. The "Sit-Down" Series (Season 2 Division Series)

In Season 2, the bracket forced the "Family" to do something they hated: go to war with their Midwest Associates, the Milwaukee Flamingos.

The Jersey OSHA Violations and the Flamingos are sister organizations. They share cigar suppliers, betting pools, and "sanitation consultants." When they met in the Division Series, the fans expected a bloodbath. Instead, they got a "Sit-Down."

Lore suggests the games weren't played on the grid, but negotiated in a back room.

Game 1: Jersey's 201 Faction (Offense) argued that they had higher overhead costs and needed the win more. Milwaukee conceded.

Game 2: Milwaukee's "managers" pointed out that they had lent Jersey a prime "glider-gun" pattern in the offseason and were owed a favor. Jersey threw the game to square the debt.

Games 3 & 4: Accidental Dismemberment put a "Horsehead Nebula" pattern in the Flamingos' bed (data cache). Milwaukee got the message.

Jersey won the series 3-1. There were no hard feelings. In fact, the Flamingos reportedly bet heavily on Jersey to win, making a killing on their own loss. "It was strictly business," a Jersey insider said. "We kept it in the family."

The Butcher Bill

2. The "Butcher Bill" (The Finals Sweeps of Seasons 4 & 6)

If there is one thing a "Fixer" fears, it's a "Cleaner."

In Hellmouth II, Jersey made the Finals twice (Seasons 4 and 6). They were flying high, clinching pennants and running the Hot League like a fiefdom. Both times, they ran into the Tucson Butchers. And both times, they were swept (0-4).

The Butchers represent the one force Jersey cannot bribe, bully, or loophole: The Slaughter.

The 201 Faction tried to overwhelm Tucson with "noisy" offensive patterns. The Butchers simply chopped them into static blocks.
The 609 Faction tried to stall the game with defensive "still lifes." The Butchers treated them like hanging sides of beef.

The slick-talking Jersey collective couldn't wriggle their way out of the animal iron grip of the Tucson Butchers, who responded to any attempts at conversation by simply staring, and blinking, and tightening their grip, like a serial killer holding a rabbit.

These eight straight losses are known in Wawa lore as "The Butcher Bill." The trauma was so deep that for generations, the collective refused to serve cold cuts in the stadium. The Butchers filleted them. They carved the Violations into pieces and arranged them on a carving board to advertise at the Sunday market. They left Jersey looking like a compliant, OSHA-approved entity - the ultimate insult.

The Internal Affairs Raid

3. The "Internal Affairs" Raid (Season 16 Championship)

Season 16 was personal. The Jersey OSHA Violations met the Sacramento Boot Lickers in the Finals.

To the Collective, the Boot Lickers weren't just a team; they were "The Feds." They were the narcs, the snitches, the guys who remind the teacher to collect homework. A team named "Boot Lickers" is the natural predator of a team named "OSHA Violations."

This wasn't a game; it was a raid.

The Setup: The series was tied 2-2. The Boot Lickers were threatening to "audit" Jersey's win/loss ratio.

The "Fifth Amendment" Defense: In Games 5 and 6, the 609 Faction (South Jersey) took total control. They deployed the "Omerta Protocol." They didn't generate any offense; they simply refused to interact with Sacramento's code. They "pleaded the fifth" on every generation.

The Victory: Sacramento's authority-based algorithms couldn't function without compliance. Frustrated by Jersey's refusal to "cooperate" with the game physics, the Boot Lickers' patterns collapsed.

Jersey won the Cup 4-2. As the trophy was hoisted, Accidental Dismemberment lit a victory cigar and declared: "We don't talk to cops. Go Bananas."

Hellmouth III Cup

Camden Crystal Vortex

...

Shell Game

2. The "Shell Game" (The Delaware Rivalry)

(Covering the losses in Seasons 3, 4, & 13)

While the Solarpunks were burning them from above, the Delaware Corporate Shells were burying them in paperwork.

The rivalry between Jersey and Delaware is the clash between "The Mob" (Jersey) and "The Corporation" (Delaware). Jersey breaks kneecaps; Delaware leverages assets. Jersey fixes games; Delaware lobbies for rule changes.

In the middle of the Hellmouth III era, Delaware became Jersey's kryptonite.

Season 3 & 4: Jersey was eliminated by Delaware in back-to-back postseasons.
Season 13: After a dominant regular season as the #1 seed, Jersey was swept (0-4) by Delaware in the Pennant round.

The lore says Delaware didn't beat them with better cellular automata patterns; they beat them with "Packet Injunctions." Every time the 201 Faction tried to launch a "Heavyweight Spaceship," Delaware's defensive algorithms filed a "Cease and Desist" block that froze the pattern in litigation for hundreds of generations.

Jersey lost because they discovered the one thing scarier than a hitman: A corporate lawyer with unlimited billable hours.
