Nobody truly knows who put this particular ball to run (all stories on the street agree that it was a God, but change a lot-some say that it was Toltiir, God of Mischief, while others say that it was a Norn), but one thing that is sure is that they have not changed for the better.In the beginning, it was just one Bet-to create the wildest changes in a universe thru the most innocuous modifications (making a character trip instead of jump, go left instead of right, watch a movie or a book they never saw, etc). They used minor, unintrusive timelines that the Yggdrasil computer (and the Offices) wouldn't care about (or were marked for 'rebooting' anycase).Now, the Bets are divided. These are the most common:*'The' Bet (modify minor timelines in the wildest way possible, with either minor or major intrusion by those who Bet).*'Love' Bet (create a situation where one man/woman must choose from a group of potential love interests (situation differing from normal 'dating game' to -quite literal- 'gun to the head' moments). Occasionally, people are snatched and put in VR simulators for these means (don't REALLY want to kill anybody), and Urd (or at least a version of her) has reigned supreme.To date, as well, only *one* person has *not* chosen anybody when in the sim).*'Stranger In A Strange Land' Bet (take one person chosen at random and place him in another universe, betting on how well he'll perform).*'Running Man' Bet (one person is picked at 'random' and put to run throughout the Multiverse (or one specific location, planet or country) while he's chased by super-powerd 'Stalkers'. A sadistic deathsport to say the least (since the 'Stalkers' have every possible way to win), the 'Running Man' is the most underground of all Bets-and so far, no Runner has survived).</blockquote>
