“Hm.” The judge frowns, tightening his net of facial wrinkles. “Merak Spielman, your move is elegant, but lacks offensive power. Ratasal, your move is strong, but flawed; what snake has fists with which to punch? However, Ratasal’s appropriate use of the surrounding tombs tips the balance. Point, Location and Yen to Ratasal. Match to Ratasal.”
Three flags Ratasal, one flag neutral.
Victory to Ratasal!
“Ratasal, you are now a Silver Sash 4, with a 7-1 record. You may also claim Merak Spielman’s last yen, if you wish. You seem to have a great future ahead of you. I only ask that you refrain from attempts at bribery in the future; while I shall overlook it this time, other judges may not be so forgiving… or worse, they may be so corrupt as to accept your bribes, and I will not see this noble contest prostituted before the power of the yen.”
(The flag boy giggles, clinks the coins together, and runs off to buy himself a platter of sweet cakes.)
“Merak Spielman, you are now a Green Belt, Dishonored 1, with a 4-2 record.” The judge sighs. “Do not let this discourage you, however. I see you have a great talent, and with time that talent shall be recognized. Good luck to you!”
