Anti-Geekery League Arrests Another in MarketSmart Geekery Investigation
Stephen Ward, an analyst at MarketSmart Interacive, was detained by the Anti-Geekery League on Friday for questioning in response to reports of involvement in geekery. According to an AGL spokesman, Ward was overheard discussing tabletop roleplaying with known geek JP Sherman.

Shortly after his apprehension, Ward confessed. "JP was just inviting me to a one-shot Call of Cthulu game. I don't see what the big deal is. I mean, I play Dungeons & Dragons every Sunday anyway." Ward was thereafter arrested and charged with illegal possession of a Crown Royal dice bag, operating a d20 without a permit, and dragonslaying in the first degree.

Ongoing investigation in the case has revealed a startling development. Anonymous sources have reportedly attested that Ward is, in fact, a Dungeon Master. These kingpins of geekery not only participate in the tabletop RPG underground, but are in fact suppliers who lure unsuspecting victims to such geeky pastimes.

The AGL will be holding a press conference later today concerning Ward's arraignment. Sources from within the AGL have stated that a search of Ward's home made the charges against him likely to stick. Some of the evidence collected included D&D paraphernalia, World of Warcraft material, and several live-action roleplaying costumes. It is expected that additional charges will be filed against Ward once the evidence is fully examined. Ward's lawyers could not be reached for comment.

SEL's second-weekly Geek Trivia Challenge:
"According to D&D 3.5 core rules, what weapon should you use when fighting a cornugon?"

The AGL is pleased to report the success of it's efforts to eliminate geekery, because no one was able to correctly answer last week's Geek Trivia Challenge. The first person to post the answer to this week's challenge will be sacked. The AGL will then apologize for the fault in sacking and those responsible for sacking the person who was sacked will be sacked. Then the winner will receive a free tshirt.
