Bloodsport

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Yeah.  I don't know that I have much insightful to say, I need to re-read it.  On one level I think it speaks of how any combat is just an accident of allegiances, but that's a weird message coming from Wolfe.  Chess, Allegory, I don't know.  I feel like it begs for explication.  Maybe I'll look at it again, but the queening process and the subsequent shift towards "overthrowing tyrants" is bizarre.
