Some details about the city of Blanco.
Blanco, a bustling city secluded within the high western mountains of Galatia. It is a self-sufficient metropolis with a well-balanced economy constantly importing and exporting goods and services and receiving proper intake of revenue for its many assets. The seclusion within the Valley of the mountains makes it a very safe zone. Not many outsiders travel to Blanco to live, especially considering its extremely harsh winters.
However, not too many outsiders know that city of Blanco is an invaluable source for developmental technology. It’s ironic that the ‘Coldest City in the World’ is also the pioneer to incredible heating technology. There are several billion-dollar biotech companies that are housed within the city, as well as two nuclear power plants and other companies. They all work together to invent the next greatest advancement.
Aside from the technological advancement, Blanco is a thriving city of culture and influence. It has its own fashion sense, popular teams in sports, several malls and attractions, even its own common slang. Crime is prevalent in some areas of the city but the Blanco Metropolitan Police Service, or simply B.M.P.S. – commonly pronounced as ‘bimps’ by perpetrators – deal with crime with swift and effective judgment.
And then there is the jewel of the city, “The White Skirmish”. A contest entered by thousands upon thousands of contestants each year for the prize of the pool of contestant fee and the honorary title of ‘Skirmish King’. It is measured in World Records as the’ largest organized snowball fight in the world’. Anyone from teens to older adults can enter. Every entrant is given a special sensor strapped to their upper body with three green bars. Each time you are hit by a snowball, one green bar disappears until you are counted out.
There are three judges that oversee the games and approve the creation of teams either outside the ‘Skirmish Zone’, the game’s arena, or inside. All judges are active members on the City Council and are selected randomly to oversee each year’s games.
There have been a total of 19 White Skirmish competitions… this year will mark the 20th anniversary. And it’s already generating a lot of buzz. Many new teams are being formed as well as the addition of experienced returning teams.
Here are the most common and popular repeating teams to be seen in the games:
Birds of Prey – A team of 5 solid players who have a large track record of either winning or runner up.
The R Section – A savage team of relentless players, hence the ‘R’, who will stop at nothing to win.
Devious Divas – An unorthodox team of all women snowball players who’ve won frequent titles.
Other teams are to be honorably mentioned but there are too many to count. You can expect to see all of them within the game.

Escape is a two-syllable word that grants temporary peace in the present to a future victim.
