MuscularDemigod69239, Back on your pulpit again? Has it occurred to you that this game is played globally and that your persistent theological remarks might be offensive to others?

Player #951132, I might agree with you but unfortunately I can't see demigods posts so I can't really comment. I am intrigued by what ever Demi god is posting, as the comments are obviously emotive throughout the various posts. 🤔

Pronunciation of the word is hi-per- bo-lee, if anyone wasn't sure how it is pronounced.

lostiaz, that is just what I have been wondering. What is he saying to cause so much negativity.

He fired a shot that could be heard right around the world... may have made enough sense for me to pick it, rather than bee buzzing being constant (which also sounded exaggerated).

Alternatively; Gavrilo Princip assassinating Archduke Franz Ferdinand + wife causing World War 1?

Uninitialized, the reference is to Lexington battle green, the first shots of US revolution, NOT the boston massacre years earlier. it could also refer to the Giants winning the penant.

constantgamer0421, I remember hearing a CNN/Headline News presenter (going off an autocue) pronouncing it as "hyper bowl" 😃

The event that inspired the shot heard around the world is The Boston Massacre. That shot sparked the beginning of the Revolutionary War.
