Many matches in the Duelling League's history have been boring, uninteresting messes that usually someone screws around in rather than fighting normally.
The general theory is that the gods like it that way.
(General polling techniques of local gods seems to confirm this. 8 out of 10 gods polled did indeed agree, and Odin was really wasted that morning after a kegger, so he may have just answered no to be an ass. Profound Darkness, meanwhile, obviously answered no to be an ass.)
Regardless, few matches were as uninteresting as this one.
No crowd.
No vendors.
No duellers. No judges
Wait a second, no duellers and judges..?
It was true. Paine and Konrad, by mutual agreement, had slept in that morning. (The match was schedueled for 4:30 AM, perhaps part of it's lack of appeal. Profound Darkness also did this to be an ass. It's a pity she tends to eat the people that censure her. No, not that way.)
The judges, meanwhile, were simply too tired to notice. They'd planned on sleeping in that match and hoping that no one noticed. (Except Momo. But for Momo, reading a book absorbs her more than the average person's sleep. Same difference.)
And so, the least interesting match in Duelling League officially had no winner. Two days later, a judges panel, recognizing that this could not be allowed, retconned Paine as the winner. They had videos and everything. Very dramatic.
Let this be a lesson to you all, however.
Sleep in. It's less boring than whatever the hell you have to do at those god-awful hours.
