To the delight of some and the dismay of others, a new sport has been sweeping the Guilds. Named "Trible", supposedly a shortened form of "tri-ball", for the three dimensions of the court, it is unique in that it is the first mainstream sport designed to be played entirely in zero-g.

Many residents are annoyed at Trible players draining the swimming globes for their courts, but, as of yet, not permanent damage has been done, and the Governors have decided to see where this will go.

We recently interviewed one of the players of this new sport, who said, quote, "It, like, totally rocks, dudes. Grooviest thing this side of the century mark."

More at eleven.

This has been a special report of the Guild Information Network.

This is Natasha Prokofiev with an exclusive G.I.N. report on the new sport of Trible. We were recently able to secure an interview with one of the key players, pun intended, in this movement, and would like to share that with you now.

Natasha: We are speaking today with Mr. Jubal Keveirkan, one of the creators of Trible. Mr. Keveirkan, could you tell us what inspired this game?
Keveirkan: Well, Ms. Prokofiev, y'see, most people live on the ground, ya? And all the sports they come up with over the last few thousand years been for gravity, no? It's kinda hard to play base-ball when the ball never comes down again. So I thought to myself, we need a sport that's just for us.
N: I see. One of the unique qualities of Trible is the idea that three teams play at once. What inspired that?
K: Well, y'see, in micro-gee, you gotta play three-dee. When your court has six walls, that's a lot of room for goals. So I says to myself, I say "Jubal, people are really into this X-treme sport stuff, no? Why not use that extra space for something a little unusual?" Besides the whole zero-gee thing, anyways. So I split the cube in half, put in a goal on three walls, and said "Let there be hilarity!" Y'see, when ya got three teams, two of 'em are gonna have to agree to go for the third, or the ball just gets passed around and around, never get anywhere. Ya got alliances, backstabbin', it's all really messed up. Way more excitin' than base-ball.
