Cheat Detection in Fortnite Arena Mode By: Asa Montreaux You may think you are going to win easily, and steal away hundreds of thousands of dollars of money from a Fortnite regional tournament like FNCS, but honestly — think again, think again hard. The Fortnite ownership is aware of the various tricks players have used to get ahead in the game, and there all out effort to stop players from stealing money and breaking the law in a myriad of ways, and have reacted in the most protective way imaginable. If you thought tournament statistics, or the videos on YouTube will exactly correct, think again. Sources say that cheat detection expunges 9 to 9.5 out of ten eliminations in Fortnite Arena Mode. Arena is the current standard mode for all tournaments. In Fortnite Battle Royale mode, it is thought that 2 to 2.5 out of every ten eliminations are expunged. And in Zero Build Mode, it is thought 1 to 1.5 in every one eliminations are expunged. The cheat detection is highly evident in the game...

I was attacked by Mormons By: Asa Montreaux It is not all the time that someone wants to stop your life, and just have a talkathon with you, in which they try to convince you to drop your life, and start doing everything they say instead, but with mormons, that is what happens. I had a friend when I was kid, nice kids though he had some issues. The father always struck me as a little strange. And he the most abusive farther I had ever seen or heard of. It was not just that he beat his kids when they did something wrong, he beat them every time they did not live up to his expectations. My friends older brother played a few sports, and every step that set him back from the pros, led his father to beat him with a baseball bat. I was young, but I saw it with the neighbours. He would approach them as they were doing yard work, and then he would invite them inside for a ‘friendly chat’. They would say oh, okay. But a little while later you could hear him up and down the street form in his ho...

By: Asa Montreaux Scared? Who do you think is scared? Sad, who do you think is sad? There is no one here that is. You can head out of here. Does anyone want to listen? Nope. No one wants to listen. Anyone want to listen? Nope. No one here wants to listen. I think you are wrong about everything, is what it is. It is hard To know when you are wrong, but you know that? Do you need me to say that to you? You are wrong. There… One more time? You are wrong. Are you ready to head out of here, and  Try that stuff with someone else?

Lens Section 3 By: Asa Montreaux Chapter 5 The white league was sitting around in their mansion of a hideout, discussing casually what was going to happen this time, what was going to be different than last time, and how really where they going to defeat the guards. And were they going to be able to defeat Orlo?’ ‘There won’t be any more of them. We just have to pick the right moment,’ Zola said. ‘Yes, will be able to. I’ve been tracking them for weeks.’ Zyphries was on it this time. ‘But we had them spotted in the Northeast, and now we think they are even nearer the Mid-West. The spread of this group does not seem to make any sense.’ ‘Well they are planning something, Zyphries said. ‘And at the same times, they don’t want us to find them. Unfortunately, for them, I have found them.’ ‘Well, then we can do this. Zyphries is going to pick the exact right moment,’ Frederick said. ‘Lens,’ Juniper began. ‘Zyphries can see the future. If he tries very hard.’ ‘That’s really interesting. So wh...

Lens Section 2 By: Asa Montreaux Chapter 3 The whole group was gathered in the living room.  The blinds were shut, but the sun still shone so strongly that it lighted the home effervescently. There were lights on in the living room, though they were dimmed, to help preserve the aura of seriousness they wanted the meeting to have.  ‘So Frederick, what do you have for us?’ Zyphries said. ‘The Black League have not been in this area. So if we had figured they would attack us at our base camp, it is highly unlikely. Now, have they discovered where our base camp is? That is also highly unlikely. But in this case, it is possible. We detected no Black League wizards following us on our entire journey back from Len’s home. But could they have found out through other means? It is possible.’ ‘But how, Frederick?’ Juniper said. ‘Well for one, it may have been through the duping of local members of this area. Asking them if they have seen wizards, or any wizarding activity. Though, we hav...

Lens Section 1 By: Asa Montreaux Chapter 1 It was a normal day if there ever was one for the folk of Norfolk, though the Everson’s were experiencing a day that was not so normal, but rather extraordinary. There had been a series of mysterious occurrences for which there was no discernable explanation. First, the plates in the sink, the plates and glasses in the cupboards, the toaster and the kettle, began to move up and down. After a while they were literally levitating in the air. Then, the lights throughout the entire house began to flicker on an off, and they continued to do so, no matter what light was flicked on or off, or what fuse was switched on or off, for two whole hours.  After that, a curious cold air spread from room to room in the house, so that no one in the home could bare to do anything without a jacket and blanket. And after those events, finally the whole home began to shake, including the ground, reminiscent of an actual earthquake. It was so strong no one could...
